ideal for those who don"t have much time to spare because the occasion can be made to feel special while the
whole family can stay together for a couple of hours or less. Make sure that everyone has a say in where they"d
like to eat. In case you don"t go to one person"s suggested restaurant this time then avoid disputes by suggesting
you to there another day.
The second favorite choice for spending quality time was to go on a family holiday. This can be one of the
most effective ways to engage with your teen in a fun and relaxing setting away from the distractions (使人分
心的事) of normal daily life. What"s more, you"ll return home with shared memories to cherish forever.
If you"re looking for something slightly less expensive and time-consuming than a holiday, plan a day trip
instead. Day trips were considered by more teenagers than parents. in the survey as a good way to spend quality
time. Unsurprisingly, more teens than parents also said that they"d like to go to a theme park. But if the thought
of roller coasters and long queues leaves you feeling uncomfortable, perhaps consider a day out to another town
or city, going shopping or catching a movie at the cinema instead.
If you"ve got a sporty teen, try taking part in physical activity with him. Whatever it takes to get your blood
pumping, having fun will be well worth it. Although if you"re rather athletically challenged, try something a bit
more sedate, like bowling (保龄球). Also, energetic and curious teens often enjoy outdoor activities, such as
camping, so why not put yourself to the challenge and see where the spirit of adventure takes you both?
But don"t worry if the thought of such exertion (努力) makes either of you break out in a cold sweat. Time
spent one-on-one at home just enjoying each other"s company can be equally-if not more-valuable as any other.
B. to finish eating within two hours
C. to choose the best food they like
D. to give kids a chance to choose the restaurant
B. Too expensive tickets.
C. The long distance.
D. Busy schedules.
B. tiring
C. adventurous
D. quiet
B. You needn"t worry about being with kids.
C. Too much worry does harm to your health.
D. Time spent one-on-one is the most precious.

Do you remember the game "Telephone"? A message gets passed from person to person, and everyone laughs at how distorted (曲解) it becomes. As a game, telephone can be fun. In real life, sending messages through third parties fouls things up. It is important for family members who have "business" with other family members to take it up directly. When tension arises in a relationship between two people, a frequent way of dealing with this is to send messages through a third person. Family doctors refer to the process as triangulation. Following a quarrel, a mother may say to her son, "Tell your father to pass the salt," which may be answered by, "Tell your mother to get her own salt." In many long cases of triangulation, the middleman becomes severely disturbed. Two years ago, Ruth and Ralph Gordon brought their 17-year-old daughter for treatment. Lucille was not doing well in school, using drugs heavily. When I began to work with her, she was uncommunicative and aggressive. After some time, however, she opened up and told me her parents rarely talked to each other, but both used her as a middleman. Mrs. Cordon was sexually unsatisfied and suggested to Lucille that she ask her father to go for marriage advice. Mr. Cordon told Lucille that he was seeing another woman, and he urged Lucille to speak to her mother about improving her behaviour. Caught in this confusing situation, Lucille became more and more troubled. It wasn"t until she refused to play middleman that she began to improve. When either parent began to send a message through her, she learned to say, "Tell him/her yourself!" You"ll find that when family members learn to dial each other directly, there"s rarely a busy signal or wrong number. With direct dialing, a sense of freshness is created. | |||||||||||||||||
