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 the same changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (依偎) with me on the sofa and talk,” 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 figuring out which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, writer 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 (位置) to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should produce chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental (精神上的) 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.
25. “The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son .
A. keeps himself away from his parents
B. begins to dislike his parents
C. is always busy with his studies
D. doesn’t want to be disturbed
26. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that .
A. their daughter isn’t as lovely as before
B. they don’t know what to say to their daughter
C. they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly
D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
27. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?
A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
C. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.
28. We can learn from the passage that parents .
A. are unhappy with their children
B. have to talk with others
C. shouldn’t be angry with teenagers
D. should try to understand their teenagers
C
In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution. They join “environment clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.
Here are some things students often do.

The Winner’s Guide to Success
How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 36 .
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power. You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”
Live life “on purpose”
Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”. 37 .When you live your life on purpose, you’ll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do.
Write a plan
It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 38 Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard-even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.
39
It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done. When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.
Don’t delay
Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends. “I’ve got a perfect idea,” he said, “I’ll put it down later and show it to you.” But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect ending. 40 . Never delay at all.
A. Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work
B. So remember, do what you can right away
C. Never give up
D. A good plan is like a map to you
E. Here are some keys to success that they give
F. They are doing what they believe they should and want to do
G. Make a decision
