Question

7．Kids Speak UpIn an online poll （投票），TIME FOR KIDS and KidsHealth．org asked kids how they are getting along with their parents．Here's what they told us．
Getting Along and Having Fun
About two out of three kids said they get along very well with their parents．About four out of five told us they have fun with their parents．But that doesn't mean they never disagree．In fact，most kids reported arguing with their parents sometimes．
"It's common to disagree and argue，"says D'Arcy Lyness，a child psychologist （心理學(xué)家）．"But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully．"About half of the kids said they are doing that．When they disagree with their parents，they say they have a discussion calmly．
But two out of five kids said arguments always involve shouting at each other．Lyness points out that shouting never helps．"Speak up，and let your parents know your ideas，"she advises．"But be patient．Don't use a raised，angry voice．"
Not surprisingly，three out of four kids admitted （承認(rèn)） to lying at times．Many said they lie to avoid getting in trouble or disappointing their parents．According to Lyness，lying isn't just wrong．It can actually get bad results．Telling the truth builds trust．"When parents can trust you，they are more likely to give you more freedom．"she says．
A Changing Relationship
Kids ages 12 to 14 not only said they lie more，but they also reported having less fun，feeling less close，and not getting along as well with their parents．
According to Lyness，those feelings are not uncommon．As kids grow up，they have more disagreements or arguments with their parents．But it doesn't have to be that way．"Kids and parents get along differently at different times of the journey of life，"she says．As kids grow and change，it is important for ever ybody to adapt （適應(yīng)）．"There's a dance of ways that you act with others and get along，"she points out．"Then there's a change，and it's a different dance．"Change is normal，she stresses．

Answer 1

分析 孩子們說(shuō)
在一個(gè)兒童時(shí)代和KidsHealth．org的在線投票中調(diào)查孩子們是如何與他們的父母相處的．下面的內(nèi)容是孩子們告訴我們的．
相處融洽和有趣
約2/3的孩子說(shuō)他們與他們的父母相處融洽．約4/5的孩子們說(shuō)他們與他們的父母在一起很開(kāi)心．但這并不意味著他們從來(lái)沒(méi)有分歧．事實(shí)上，大多數(shù)孩子都說(shuō)他們與他們的父母有時(shí)會(huì)發(fā)生爭(zhēng)吵．
兒童心理學(xué)家D'Arcy Lyness說(shuō)，"出現(xiàn)分歧和爭(zhēng)吵是很平常的事，但是，學(xué)習(xí)如何尊重也很重要．"大約一半的孩子說(shuō)他們?cè)谧鲞@件事．當(dāng)與他們的父母出現(xiàn)分歧時(shí)，他們說(shuō)他們會(huì)心平氣和的與父母一起討論．
但是，2/5的孩子說(shuō)，爭(zhēng)論總是牽涉到彼此之間的大聲爭(zhēng)吵．Lyness指出，大聲爭(zhēng)吵從來(lái)沒(méi)有任何幫助．"說(shuō)出來(lái)，讓你的父母知道你的想法，"她建議，"但是要有耐心．不要使用高調(diào)、憤怒的聲音．"
毫不奇怪，3/4的孩子承認(rèn)有時(shí)會(huì)撒謊．許多人說(shuō)他們說(shuō)謊是為了避免麻煩或不讓他們的父母失望．據(jù)Lyness所說(shuō)，說(shuō)謊并不都是錯(cuò)的，但它確實(shí)會(huì)得到不好的結(jié)果．信任建立在誠(chéng)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)上．"當(dāng)父母可以信任你時(shí)，他們更有可能給你更多的自由．"她說(shuō)．
持續(xù)變化的關(guān)系
12歲至14歲的孩子不僅說(shuō)他們說(shuō)謊更多，而且他們也說(shuō)他們的樂(lè)趣變少了，感覺(jué)不那么親密了，而且與父母的關(guān)系也處的不那么好了．
據(jù)Lyness所說(shuō)，這些感覺(jué)并不罕見(jiàn)．隨著孩子長(zhǎng)大，他們與父母之間有更多的分歧或爭(zhēng)論．但大可不必這樣．"在人生旅途中，孩子和父母在不同的時(shí)間上他們之間的關(guān)系也會(huì)有所不同"，她說(shuō)，隨著孩子的成長(zhǎng)和變化，對(duì)每個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)重要的是適應(yīng)．"有一種舞蹈的方式，需要你與他人一起行動(dòng)，并相互配合"，她指出，"后來(lái)這件事情變了，這是一個(gè)不同的舞蹈"．改變是正常的，她強(qiáng)調(diào)．
與你的家人分享這個(gè)故事．你可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你有很多話要談．

解答 49．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)About two out of three kids said they get along very well with their parents．可知，two out of three的孩子與自己的父母相處融洽，這里的two out of three就是2/3．
50．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully．"About half of the kids said they are doing that．When they disagree with their parents，they say they have a discussion calmly．可知，Lyness認(rèn)為，當(dāng)與父母出現(xiàn)分歧時(shí)，學(xué)會(huì)如何尊重是最重要的，應(yīng)該心平氣和的坐下來(lái)談?wù)劊�也就是有耐心的和父母講述自己的意見(jiàn)，即Voice their opinions with patience，因此答案為C．
51．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)Telling the truth builds trust．"When parents can trust you，they are more likely to give you more freedom．"she says．可知，信任建立在誠(chéng)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)上，對(duì)自己的父母誠(chéng)實(shí)，他們才會(huì)更加信任你，才會(huì)放心給你更多的自由，因此答案為A．
52．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)As kids grow and change，it is important for ever ybody to adapt （適應(yīng)）．"There's a dance of ways that you act with others and get along，"she points out．"Then there's a change，and it's a different dance．"Change is normal，she stresses．可知，每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該做出一些改變?nèi)ミm應(yīng)，只有這樣才能夠讓雙方的關(guān)系更融洽，因?yàn)楦淖兪钦�常的，因此答案為D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文的主旨是家長(zhǎng)與孩子之間關(guān)系，在相處中應(yīng)該更多的改變，以此適應(yīng)對(duì)方，維持一個(gè)融洽的家庭氛圍．做題時(shí)要在理解好文意的基礎(chǔ)上，與題目有機(jī)的結(jié)合，從文章中找到相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)性的句子與選項(xiàng)細(xì)細(xì)比對(duì)，進(jìn)行選擇或推理判斷，選出符合文章內(nèi)容的正確選項(xiàng)．做題注意靈活，有時(shí)可采用排除法或直選法確定出最終答案．
