It’s not easy being a teenager (13至19岁青少年) – nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt,
or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.
Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider
everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more
you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. At the same time, remind him that
you’re always there for his should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can
talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other
family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job. 68. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ______.
A. how to get along with a teenager B. how to respect a teenager C. how to understand a teenager D. how to help a teenager grow up 69. What does the phrase ―clam up‖ in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. become excited
C. refuse to talk D. seek help 70. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager ______. A. to use the phone in a sensible way B. to pay for his own telephone C. to share the phone with friends
D. to answer the phone quickly
B. show respect
71. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text? A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs. B. Give him advice only when necessary. C. Let him have his own telephone. D. Not talk about personal things with him.
