A
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son. Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is how to figure out which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are the first on the list,” said Michael Riera, the author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. 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 or write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. 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. What does “The door to his room is always shut” suggests in Paragraph 1
A. Their son dislikes opening his door. B. Their son begins to hate his parents.
C. Their son is always busy with his studies. D. Their son keeps himself away from his parents.
2. What troubles Tina and Mark most
A. Their daughter isn’t as lovely as before.
B. They can’t read their daughter's mind exactly.
C. They don’t know what to say to their daughter.
D. Their daughter talks with them only when she needs money.
3. What can we learn from the passage
A. Parents are patient with their silent teenagers.
B. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.
C. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
D. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.
B
A touching moment at an airport was captured in a Reddit video shared by users. In the clip, a young girl in a wheelchair approaches a pianist setting up to play. Flashing a confident smile, she asks if he would like to perform together.
The pianist agrees without hesitation, asking which instrument she plays. When she replies, “cello (大提琴),” excitement fills the air. Moments later, the pianist, the young cellist, and her teacher take their places on the platform, ready to create a beautiful musical collaboration.

第二节 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Rejection therapy (拒绝疗法) encourages people to ask strangers odd requests that will most likely get a “no” in response. ____1____ It could be a good exercise for someone with lower levels of anxiety looking to feel a little more comfortable with rejection. But if you want to ensure you get the benefits without causing trouble to yourself or someone else, there are some rules you should follow.
● Start small.
One common mistake is exposing (使...接触) yourself to super difficult tasks at the very beginning, which can be so stressful. ____2____ For example, you can try asking a stranger at the supermarket for a breath refreshener. If it feels doable, you can work your way up to something more challenging.
● ____3____
After you are rejected, your mind may race with regretful thoughts like, “God, everyone’s going to think I’m a fool!” To avoid yourself falling into this anxious state, you should take a few minutes to think deeply about what just happened. For example, you could write in a journal, “That was so embarrassing, but at least it’s over.”
● Know when to quit.
___4___ Or these silly little challenges just feel unproductive. If it’s not your thing for whatever reason, just find a different type of support that may be beneficial to you. This could include finding a therapist who is expert at treating social anxiety.
If you do want to see what rejection therapy is all about, though, try to stay realistic. No, your social anxiety won’t magically disappear because of such a challenge. ____5____ During the process, you can get to know yourself more and get prepared for the future life better.
A. Respect others’ thoughts.
B. Take a moment to self-reflect.
C. It is necessary to calm down after facing your fear.
D. So the therapy beginners should start with manageable moves.
E. Maybe experimenting with it is actually making you even more anxious.
F. But a few weeks of pushing your limits may increase your self-confidence.
G. The idea behind it is learning to be brave by repeatedly jumping into a hard situation.
