There have been countless books on living with teenagers, yet parents don’t seem to have ____126____ how to get their children to pick up their clothes from the bedroom floor. It might be difficult to accept, but a new approach to dealing with difficult teenagers is for parents to look at their own ____127____.
“The key to getting teenagers to respect you is to respect them first,” says Penny Palmano, who has written a best-selling book on teenagers. “You can’t ____128____ to treat them the same way that you have been treating them for the previous years. Imagine if you’d spent two hours getting ready to go out for the evening and someone said, ‘You’re not going out looking like that, are you ’ You’d be very ____129____. You’d never say that to an adult, because it shows a total ____130____ of respect.” Palmano has even allowed her girl to hold several teenage parties at her home. “I’ve found that if you have brought your kids up to do the right thing, and then ____131____ them to do it, usually they’ll behave well,” she says, “I make them sandwiches and leave them alone. But I make it clear that they have to clear up any mess. I’ve never had a(n) ____132____; in fact, the kitchen was sometimes cleaner than I’d left it.”
She agrees that teenagers can be annoying, enjoying a world free of responsibility, yet ____133____ for independence. She doesn’t think, however, that they are ____134____ to annoy you. Until recently, it turns out that the region of the brain that controls judgement and emotions is not fully _____135_____until the early twenties. “This would explain why many teenagers can’t make good decisions or control their emotions. _____136_____, they may find it difficult to make the right decision between watching television and finishing their homework. It means that they do not _____137_____ do the wrong thing just to annoy their parents,” says Palmano.
The key to _____138_____ for all is calm communication and compromise (妥协). If you want your teenagers to be home by 11 pm, explain why, but listen to their arguments as well. If it’s Saturday, you might _____139_____agreeing to midnight. If they are up to 20 minutes late, don’t react angrily. _____140_____, ask if they’ve had a problem with public transport and let it pass.

More than three decades on, the ____145____ has stuck: I don’t feel ____146____ to cut in line or steal hotel bathrobes. ____147____ leaving a store wearing the tagged sunglasses I’d tried on gave me the ____148____ for months.
Though my childhood memories are blurred, such moments ____149____, when my parents conveyed a value they hoped I’d _____150_____. They supplied a template(样板) of _____151_____ to take someone else’s perspective, to prevent my momentary _____152_____ for the greater good.

There have been countless books on living with teenagers, yet parents don’t seem to have ____126____ how to get their children to pick up their clothes from the bedroom floor. It might be difficult to accept, but a new approach to dealing with difficult teenagers is for parents to look at their own ____127____.
“The key to getting teenagers to respect you is to respect them first,” says Penny Palmano, who has written a best-selling book on teenagers. “You can’t ____128____ to treat them the same way that you have been treating them for the previous years. Imagine if you’d spent two hours getting ready to go out for the evening and someone said, ‘You’re not going out looking like that, are you ’ You’d be very ____129____. You’d never say that to an adult, because it shows a total ____130____ of respect.” Palmano has even allowed her girl to hold several teenage parties at her home. “I’ve found that if you have brought your kids up to do the right thing, and then ____131____ them to do it, usually they’ll behave well,” she says, “I make them sandwiches and leave them alone. But I make it clear that they have to clear up any mess. I’ve never had a(n) ____132____; in fact, the kitchen was sometimes cleaner than I’d left it.”
She agrees that teenagers can be annoying, enjoying a world free of responsibility, yet ____133____ for independence. She doesn’t think, however, that they are ____134____ to annoy you. Until recently, it turns out that the region of the brain that controls judgement and emotions is not fully _____135_____until the early twenties. “This would explain why many teenagers can’t make good decisions or control their emotions. _____136_____, they may find it difficult to make the right decision between watching television and finishing their homework. It means that they do not _____137_____ do the wrong thing just to annoy their parents,” says Palmano.
The key to _____138_____ for all is calm communication and compromise (妥协). If you want your teenagers to be home by 11 pm, explain why, but listen to their arguments as well. If it’s Saturday, you might _____139_____agreeing to midnight. If they are up to 20 minutes late, don’t react angrily. _____140_____, ask if they’ve had a problem with public transport and let it pass.
