Arguing with your parents is totally natural for teens. From your hairstyle to your friends, to your marks at school, to your television habits, to your future plans, it might just seem like you argue with your parents about everything. While this is not generally a pleasant state of affairs, it is normal and it will most likely pass.

   Argue fairly

   Arguments between teens and parents generally come about when both parties believe that they know what is best for the teen. Parents have been caring for their teens for over a decade, but teens are quickly becoming adults and believe that they are able to take care of themselves. If you must agree with them, argue fairly by: Allowing each person to speak their mind. Refusing to interrupt others when they are speaking. Sticking only to the topic at hand.

   Argue respectfully

   No matter how heated things may get during an argument, try to remember that your parents still are worthy of your attention, respect and love. During arguments, be respectful by: Keeping your voice lowered at all times and refusing to shout. Sitting still and staying calm. Refusing to engage in angry actions such as kicking, throwing or hitting anything. Reasonably explaining the reasons for your opinions.

   _________

   There is a thin line between having a discussion and engaging in an argument, but smart teens know that keeping their interactions with their parents at the discussion level practically guarantees that they will be taken more seriously. No one likes to argue, and the parents of teens can be especially weary of it, so keeping things at the discussion level will work to everyone's advantage.

   Arguing with parents is practically a sign of the teenaged years, but out-of-control arguments don't serve anyone well. Before arguing with your parents, decide what type of teen you want to be and what compromises (妥協(xié))you are willing to make in order to achieve your goals. You never know, you might just avoid an argument all together.

科目：高中英語 來源：2010年海南省嘉積中學高一下學期期末考試英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

After years of study, I have known there are only two types of people in this world: those who get to the airport early and those who arrive when the plane is about to take off.
If there were any justice（公正）in this world, early-airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing. And late-airport people would be punished. But early-airport people get ulcers（潰瘍）, heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone. Late-airport people almost don’t realize they are flying.
A guy of that kind once said, “Don’t hurry. If you miss your flight, it’s because God doesn’t want you to go.” This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.
Early-airport people suffer another “name”. They are called exactly what they are -wimps（窩囊廢）. I know. I was an early-airport person for years. “My baggage will get on the plane first,” I told myself. Indeed it would, which made it the last baggage they took off the plane after landing.
Another strange thing: No matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat. I thought it was a trick. I thought there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said: “Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today? If he is , give me his seat.”
After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead, I have learned another fact about early-airport people and late –airport people:
They always marry each other.
【小題1】We can learn from the passage that     .

A．late-airport persons are often nervous
B．early-airport persons are always at ease during the flight
C．early-airport persons get their baggage first after the landing
D．late-airport persons always take things easy
【小題2】 Paragraph 5 mainly wants to tell us that      .
A．someone always plays tricks on the writer
B．the airlines usually fool passengers
C．early-airport persons always can’t get good seats
D．the service of airlines is very bad
【小題3】This passage is written in order to     .
A．give readers tips about taking a plane
B．offer suggestions about having a good plane trip
C．express the writer’s anxiety about taking a plane
D．show people’s different attitudes toward catching planes
【小題4】 It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is     .
A．a(chǎn)n early-airport womanB．a(chǎn) late-airport woman
C．a(chǎn) hot-tempered womanD．a(chǎn) sensitive woman
