Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding.   
Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are out in that world. These conflicts (矛盾) can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation -- for now.  Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening.
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings can disagree without things getting ugly. ___ How do you build trust?  Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers—they’re interesting people who like to watch movies, and go shopping—just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? ___ You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.
Remember you can only change your own behavior; your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.

A.It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.
B.You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.
C.And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.
D.Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.

E. You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.
F. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
G. You may consider seeking outside help.

根据短文内容,从下框的A—F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。

A. How can you select your test location(地址)?
B. How many times do you plan to take the test?
C. When do you have to hand in your test scores?
D. What is the most appropriate test date for you?
E. Where do you stand in your high school coursework?
F. What are the factors determining your choice of test time?


The ACT is offered nationally several times a year, between September and June. However, it's not offered at every test center on each test date. If you need to take the ACT on a day other than Saturday because of religious reasons, you’ll want to be especially attentive in selecting a test date because the non-Saturday dates are less frequent and are held at fewer test centers.

One of the first things you should find out, then, is where the ACT is being offered in your area. A quick and easy way to get that information is by accessing ACT's website at www.actstudent.org. Or your high school guidance counselor should be able to give you that information. It's also printed in the booklet Registering for the ACT, which is available free from your school counselor. Often, your own or a neighboring school will serve as a test center.

One important decision you need to make is whether you should take the ACT during your junior or your senior year in high school. A number of factors will affect this decision. First, you should find out when colleges you're interested in need to have your test scores. Is there a special program or scholarship for which you want to apply? If so, is there a deadline by which you need to have test scores submitted to the college or agency? Score reports are normally mailed about 3-7 weeks after the test date. Just be sure you're doing everything, including taking the ACT, early enough to keep all your options open.

Another consideration in deciding when to take the ACT is where you stand in your high school coursework. If you're in a college-prep program and taking a lot of courses in English, mathematics, and science in your sophomore and junior years, it may be wise for you to take the ACT in your junior year, while those subjects are still fresh in your memory. If, on the other hand, you're studying material covered on the ACT during your senior year, it's reasonable to assume that your performance on the ACT might be better then.

Perhaps you'll decide to take the ACT more than once, in hopes of improving your score. In that case, it's probably better to take the exam in your junior year to allow time for a second try. There are several advantages to taking the ACT in your junior year: (i) You probably will have completed much of the coursework corresponding to the material covered on the ACT. (ii)You'll have your ACT scores and other information in time to help make decisions about your final year of high school coursework. (iii) You'll have your ACT scores and information from colleges in time to make decisions about visiting campuses or contacting schools.

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job.

Cheer up!Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
