Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But during the summer vacation in 2011,Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their son: suddenly he seemed to be talking more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always closed” Joanna said.

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14?year-?old daughter. “She used to sit with me on the sofa and talk” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated(對待) like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is finding out which time is which.”

Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list” said Michael Riera the writer of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the ten years” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

Parents are the best persons to help their children because they know what's going on in their children’s lives. To break down the wall of silence，parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental(心靈的)break, because children also need freedom.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children, is a better way to know them.

1.“The door to his room is always closed” shows that the son ________.

A.is busy with his homework

B.doesn't want to talk to his parents

C.needs some sleep

2.What troubles Tina and Mark most is that their daughter ________.

A.only talks to her best friend

B.asks for too much money

C.talks with them only when she wants something

3.The writer thinks that parents should ________.

A.make their children study harder

B.understand their children

C.ask their children to open the doors

4.What is the passage about?

A.children do not talk much with their parents

B.changes of relationship between parents and children and some tips for children.

C.changes of relationship between parents and children and some tips for parents.

My name is Mary. My friends are different from me. My best friend Betty is shorter and more outgoing than me. I am quiet and I like reading very much. Betty likes sports and she plays ping-pong well.

I’m Peter. I like to have friends and they are like me. It can be very helpful. I’m a little quiet and my good friend Rick is quiet, too. Sometimes I don’t know what to do with my problems and he can tell me what I should do, because he knows about me better than people who are different from me.

Going to the beach at the weekend in Australia is a very popular activity, just as much as going to a shopping centre or doing a sport. The Australian Beach Culture is similar to that in California and the Mediterranean.

Australians live by the sea, so it makes it very convenient for them to spend the weekend on the beach. Besides some places that can have winter weather, most of Australia is sunny throughout the whole year. This also provides a good chance for the development of the Australian Beach Culture.

However, when you go to the beach, there are some things you should consider. You should know that because the ozone layer (臭氧層) above some parts of Australia is thin, there is a great danger from the sunlight. The sun here is very strong and it burns the skin really fast. Australia has one of the highest rates(比率) of skin cancer in the world. So if you go to the beach, take hats and sunglasses.

Besides this, there are some other things that you should know. Sometimes the sea seems to be very peaceful, but the currents(水流) in the water can be very strong. So, if you don't know very much about the sea, you should swim only in the safe area between the flags at the beach. By the way, people are not allowed to sell anything on the beach without an official permission (官方許可證).

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成下列小題。

1.What is a very popular activity at the weekend in Australia?

________________________________________________________________________________

2.Which health problem is the most common in Australia?

________________________________________________________________________________

3.Where should you swim if you do not have enough knowledge about the sea?

________________________________________________________________________________

4.What do you need if you want to sell things on the beach?

________________________________________________________________________________

5.Why can Beach Culture be developed in Australia?

________________________________________________________________________________
