Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
　　If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart.When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
　　Communication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and take no notice to anyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.
　　If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance （表达）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
　　When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, and ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.
　　Here is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let it go. Communication is the key here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
　　Communication isn’t a one-way matter: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-------listening is the key to communication.

解析

试题分析：交流与沟通是一个在父母与孩子之间的长久话题，只是在面对时，我们的处理方式往往不够冷静，其实只要相互理解多问一下原因，另一方能够冷静的解释，一切都能解决的，文章中的这个例子就是最好的证明。生活中何常不是如此。
小题1:细节理解题。 Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.句意：清楚的说明了这点。
故选A。
小题2:细节理解题。 If you are not able to communicate, 句意：如果你不能交流沟通。前文提到了相关点，从这句就能分析出后句，如果你不能交流沟通，你就会与他人有距离，you drift apart.与其他人有距离。 故选 C。
小题3: 细节理解题。The example in Paragraph 6 shows,句意：第六段的例子展示什么。 以Sophie 的故事来说明交流沟通的重要性，因此前三项并不是文章的主题，这段故事只是说明中心的一个点题之笔。 故选D。
小题4: 细节理解题。All the following statements are correct except “_______”.句意：除了哪句都是正确的。在通读全文与完成前三个问题中就能明了正确的答案，交流的正确方式。故选D
