Teenage years can be confusing for both teenagers and parents．At about 15, many teens start thinking about how they feel about themselves and out how this matches or mismatches what others think of them．Most teens work through this by the age of 16 or 17.
Often teenagers are treated like bigger children, but they will never become and responsible if they are not allowed to make some decisions for themselves．If parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it without permission anyway．The role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and ．
Yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and ．As a result, teenagers always keep their .from their parents．Teens often that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them．Parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to their side of any problem and express their point of view．
Thus, more private and level-headed communication is needed for the parents．Every parent should try to schedule time to be with their child, like taking a short trip together．This time allows parents to talk and listen without from work or other family members．It might also be good to encourage teens to important issues at dinner．Discussion time shows teens that parents are interested in them and their lives．
A person’s teenage years are a key time for them to identify their own ,like distinguishing good from evil．Handling and improving communication with teenagers is not easy, but success will be for parents and teens alike．

I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early 29 . A homeless man, probably about 60 and without wearing any shoes, was 30 for change on a street corner.
A BMW car 31 on the other side of the street and an executive（主管）who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car. He was probably about 32 years old.

The homeless man took them and stared with a/an 36 mouth.
As he drove off, I couldn’t 37 thinking that it was probably the first time he had 38 the pedal（踏板）of that top-brand BMW car with a 39 foot! I stood there and the looks of 40 appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.

My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought 41 . My complaints, even self-justified shouting, were always landing on 42_ ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end with their 43 into tears, I felt very frustrated (沮丧的).I realized I needed to 44 my method of “mothering”.
One day when they were at school, I spent some time 45 their rooms. On their desks, in plain __46 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was 47 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.” 48 arriving back, the children were __49 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy ___50 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 51 asking them to play a certain violin 52 .

It’s all in a day’s work for a war reporter, and it can be very 39 . In the first two years of the 40 in former Yugoslavia（前南斯拉夫), 28 reporters and photographers were killed. Hundreds more were 41 .

But there are moments of 47 . Jeremy Bowen says, “Yes, when you’re lying on the ground and bullets（子弹）are flying 48 your ears, you think: ‘What am I doing here? I’m not going to do this again.’ But that feeling 49 after a while and when the next war starts, you’ll be 50 .”

The English translations of the names of traditional Chinese dishes on menus(菜单) across the country have caused public discussion about the precision(准确) of the translations.
Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus. They want to make it easier for foreigners to order Chinese dishes when they travel. Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners’ knowledge of Chinese cuisine(烹饪).
But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations haven’t live up to public expectation（期望）. It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe. Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dish’s ingredients（配方）, the article notes. For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “stir-fried mutton slice with Chinese onion and green scallion(葱爆羊肉)”.
Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, it fails to describe the dish’s rich cultural meaning and charm(魅力). The dish’s beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang(佛跳墙)”, has a story behind it. Buddhist monks (和尚) are required to eat vegetables only , but they can’t resist(忍住)the delicious dish. So they jump over the temple walls to get a taste of the dish.
The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful translations of the names of Chinese dishes. It also notes a more vivid(生动的) English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine.
Why do many restaurants provide English translations of their menu ?
A．Because they want to show their ingredients in dishes. B．Because the public expect them to do so. C．Because Chinese dishes are popular. D．Because it is convenient for foreigners to order food.
A．They are too long to remember. B．Many of them are not correct. C．They lack cultural meaning and attraction. D．They are difficult to learn.
A．Monks can jump high. B．Monks lived a poor life. C．Old China had little meat for people. D．The dish attracted many people because it’s delicious.

She said, “I 49 tell. They all look the same now. ” “Take a bite of 50 . See if that helps you 51 which one is which. ”
She took 52 , and then a huge smile came across her face. “People are 53 like apples! They are all different, but once you 54 the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside. ”
