Your daughter has finally reached the age of 18, and you think perhaps your job will finally get a little easier. That could be wrong thinking - as the parent of any 18-year-old will tell you.  Learning to cope with an ungrateful 18-year-old daughter takes patience, understanding and time.
_______ When she was a little girl, she wanted you to be involved（參和） in everything of her life from her daily activities to her friends. This is' no longer the case. She's a grown woman who needs her own personal life. Comment（評(píng)論） on her choices only when asked to do so - especially if you want to say no to her.
Allow her to make mistakes. No parent wants to see his or her child fall, but the days of protecting her all the time are at an end. Unless（除非） you see a train coming, let her fall when she makes poor choices. It will enable her to grow past the ungrateful "know it all" stage.
Encourage dialogue whenever you can, rather than planning talks. She's more likely to open up to you when talking over something trivial (瑣碎的). Anytime she wants to talk, become a willing listener in the conversation. You never know when a deeper, more important conversation will develop.
【小題1】What does the underlined phrase "cope with" mean?

A．walk with B．go with C．talk with D．deal with
【小題2】Which sentence is best to put into the blank in the second paragraph?
A．Never give your opinions to her.
B．Give her the space she asks for.
C．Never take part in her activities.
D．Always say yes to her.
【小題3】We can learn that parents_______ from the third paragraph.
A．can't protect their children every minute
B．sometimes make mistakes
C．should let their children fall as often as possible
D．shouldn't allow their children to take the train alone
【小題4】The passage is written for_______.
A．daughters B．students C．parents D．females


【小題1】D
【小題2】B
【小題3】A
【小題4】C

解析試題分析：這篇文章主要講述了父母應(yīng)該怎么對(duì)付長(zhǎng)大的女兒。需要給她自己的空間，允許她犯錯(cuò)，多和她溝通交流，而不是找她談話。
【小題1】詞意猜測(cè)題：聯(lián)系整個(gè)句子，意為：對(duì)付一個(gè)不領(lǐng)情的18歲的女兒需要耐心，理解和時(shí)間。Cope with對(duì)付，相當(dāng)于deal with，故選D。
【小題2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段后文She's a grown woman who needs her own personal life.她是個(gè)成年人了，需要她自己的私人生活。所以選擇B，給她需要的空間。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段描述No parent wants to see his or her child fall, but the days of protecting her all the time are at an end.沒(méi)有父母愿意看到孩子摔跤，但是保護(hù)他們的日子已經(jīng)結(jié)束了，所以選A,父母不可能時(shí)時(shí)刻刻保護(hù)孩子。
【小題4】推理判斷題。結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容，主要講述了父母怎么對(duì)待孩子，所以文章是寫給父母的，選C。

A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow(烏鴉) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain(鄙視).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(評(píng)價(jià)) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended(假裝) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”

Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is just across the bus stop.”
In the Midwest of America, usually there are not many landmarks. So people will tell you directions(方向) and distance. In Kansas(堪薩斯州), for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure(測(cè)量) distance by telling time. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
People in Greece(希臘) sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico(墨西哥), no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan think “I don’t know” is not polite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
One thing will help you everywhere. You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his body language. He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction. Go on in that direction, and you may find the post office!
【小題1】What do you think of the word “landmarks” mean?

A．Names of streets or roads in a place.
B．Hotels, markets and bus stops in a city.
C．Buildings or places which are easily seen.
D．Building or places with great importance.
【小題2】How many countries are mentioned(提及到) by the writer?
A．Four. B．Five.
C．Seven. D．Eight.
【小題3】Which of the following is NOT right?
A．The Japanese often use landmarks when they give directions.
B．People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance.
C．People in Yucatan think “I don’t know” is not polite.
D．People in Greece often give wrong directions.
【小題4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．There are not many landmarks in the Midwest of America.
B．We needn’t carry a map when we travel around the world.
C．People give directions in the same way in different parts of the world.
D．There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.

Teens want structure in their lives, which means they want their lives well-planned. To begin building structure, teens need love and trust. They need to know their parents arc there to give them needed love and support (支持).Teens want to be sure that nothing can prevent parents from shouldering their responsibility for them — not their growing maturity (成熟),misbehavior, nor anger at something they have done. Teens want parents to keep control while allowing them to make some decisions.
There are some ways you can help your teens create reasonable structure and remain close. One way is to spend time together. Parents often mistake their teens’ increased interest in friends for a disinterest in the family.
Teens would like to spend more time doing things with their parents, but watching TV is not counted as spending time together. As your teens mature, it is important for you and your teens spend time alone together, one to one. Your teens need time to talk to you alone without any other family member present.
Talk with your teens about their interests and concerns. Make sure you really show interest in what is happening. When talking with your teens, give full attention and do not stop them.
The way to help your teens become adults is to let your teens into your world. Sharing your emotions and concerns with your teens is important. Avoid causing needless worry.
Trust your teens. Don't expect the worst. Hope for the best. Telling your teens you don’t like their friends will cause the teens not to bring their friends home. If something should go wrong, believe that your teens didn’t do it on purpose.
It is very important that you treat your teens with respect. Teens need the same respect adults show for total strangers. Don’t talk down to your teens.
You need to be supportive o f your teens. What may be a small problem to you may be troubling to your teens. Teens don't have the experiences that adults have had. Let the teens know that you understand how much it hurts when something happens that is upsetting or hurtful to them. As they mature, they can look back at some problems they had and laugh at having been upset by something that now seems unimportant.
The most important things to remember are: talk with your teens, listen to their worries and offer suggestions when needed. This will help your teens to live a well-organized life.
【小題1】According to Paragraph 1, teens ______________.

A．can control themselves.
B．expect direction and freedom.
C．don’t know how to make decision
D．don’t have responsibility for the family
【小題2】The underline part “counted as” in Paragraph 3 probably means “____”.
A．compared with B．used as
C．connected with D．regarded as
【小題3】To help teens organize their lives , parents should __________.
A．invite their teens’ friends home.
B．leave their teens’ problems alone.
