How often do you hear people say that the relationship between their parents and them is not as good as it used to be Now let’s see what you can do to get on well with your parents.
As a teenager, you should respect(尊重) your parents and what they did for you. If your parents don’t allow you to do something, do not go out of your way to do it. There must be a good reason why they feel you should not do that thing. Do not be angry about it or fight with them. Talk to them and explain your opinion to them.
As you enter your middle teens, you will realize you want to be independent. This change is going to bring conflicts(冲突) between you and your parents. You will feel your parents control you too much. To avoid(避免) further conflicts, talk to them, and follow them.
When you grow older and become an adult, you will be independent. That can make a distance(距离) between you and your parents. In this situation, listening to each other and understanding each other are necessary to build a healthy relationship between you and your parents. Since you are an adult, the parent-child relationship develops into a relationship between adults. However, some things never change. You will always be their kid, no matter how old you are. So regard your parents as friends, rather than only as your mom and dad.
21. What should you do as a teenager
A. Respect your parents and their opinions.
B. Do whatever you want to do.
C. Find a good reason to make your parents follow you.
D. Be angry with your parents often.
22. What makes a distance between you and your parents
A. Your conflict.
B. Their own advice.
C. Your personal opinion.
D. Your personal independence.
23. How should you get on with your parents as an adult
A. By regarding them as old people.
B. By regarding them as friends.
C. By regarding them as your parents.
D. By regarding them as your teachers.
24. What’s the aim(目的) of the passage
A. To tell us some problems between parents and children.
B. To tell us how to get on with parents.
C. To tell us how to become an adult.
D. To tell us how to be good children.

Dear Donna,
Help! I’m a 15-year-old middle school student in New York. In eight months, I’m going to take an entrance exam. To prepare for it, I’m studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really stressed(焦虑不安的) these days. I can’t sleep. What can I do
Yours,

Dear Mary,
Many students around the world have the same problems as you. Here is some advice to help you deal with the stress. Good luck!

Yours,
Donna

A life coach is somebody who helps you reach all kinds of personal and professional goals(目标). Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach. Here are some tips for you:
Pay attention to your relationships with others
Ask yourself the following questions: How do you deal with disagreements When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them Your relationships with friends, family members and teachers show a lot about the kind of person you are.
Face the fears for the future
Now, imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. We often give others some advice but we are not willing to take others’ advice ourselves. Remember that even the most successful people were probably told that what they wanted to do was impossible, but they followed their dreams and succeeded.
Develop your talents
If you want to reach your goals, you will have to spend more time developing the talents you already have, and uncovering any hidden talents that you haven’t discovered yet. So you can take classes in subjects that you are interested in, even if you have no experience.
Be thankful
Take some time to be thankful for the things you do have. Remember positive memories. 想一想在过去的岁月里你拥有的最美好的日子。Remember special parties, vacations and holidays. Appreciate the wonderful people you have in your life.

How to get on with parents
As teenagers, it’s important to get on with parents. What should we do
Firstly, we should spend some time communicating with our parents. For example, we may talk about our teachers, classmates or the things that happen in school. Secondly, we should do something with our parents each week, such as making dinner or going shopping. We’ll improve our relationship with them in this way. Thirdly, we’d better discuss our problems with them. They will help us find better ways to solve them.
It’s not easy to get on with parents. So we should learn to be understanding first.
