Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you"re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. 1
Here is the challenge:Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them
from the dangers in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses.
Sometimes conflicts can"t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful
relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry.
A good time to talk is when you"re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into
an argument, you"d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation-for now. 2 Listen to
what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you"re listening. 3
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about
each others" feelings can disagree without things getting ugly.
4 How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you"re going to do. Some
t eens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget
that parents are more than rulemakers-they"re interesting people who like to watch movies and go
shopping-just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be
rocky? 5 You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.
Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change
theirs.
A. It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you"re not on the same page.
B. You can pick it up again when everyone"s more relaxed.
C. And then you"ll be able to accept what your parents say.
D. Faced with the challenge, children don"t know what to do.
E. You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents
believe in you.
F. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
G. You may consider seeking outside help

举一反三
Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is
an occasion(时候)which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and
children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose
helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their
parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the
idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of
his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called "Sweetest
Day". Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group"s religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a
reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.
Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day offers us the
opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.

On a hot summer day, a soft drink can really take away your thirst(口渴). At home, at school, in the
park or at the movies - you can find one almost anywhere.
Fruit juice
There are different kinds of juice. One kind is made only from fresh fruit. This kind of fruit juice may not taste sweet enough for some people, but it is nutritious. Another kind of fruit juice tastes good but has lots of sugar in it. Many people buy this kind because of the advertisements. It is bad for your teeth and bones
to drink lots of this.
Energy drinks
These kinds of drinks have caffeine that make people get excited. They are sometimes called "party
drinks." Doctors say if you drink too much of this kind, you may have a heart attack.

I"m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school master is very
angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not
want me in the school any longer. The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste--paper basket. It caught fire.
There was a curtain near the waste --paper basket. It caught fire too. Soon th
e whole room was burning. The master phoned the fire brigade. The school is a long way from the town and before the fire
brigade arrived, the whole school was on fire. The master said that the fire was all my fault and I must pay
for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I"m very sorry for this.
