These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writer.

Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. 1
Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that all out in that world. These conflicts 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 all 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. 2Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening. 3
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings call disagree without things getting ugly.
4How 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? 5You 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，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I live in Japan, where electronic items are a way of life, so it is no surprise that many students carry these little electronic dictionaries. E-dictionaries may be lighter and compacter (简洁的) than any paper dictionary. However, to me, these are pretty much the limits to their advantages.
I think e-dictionaries should be limited in their use in classrooms.
E-dictionaries are much more expensive. In Japan, they cost as little as 10,000 yen(US$100)much as 40,000 yen, depending on how many functions you want (or think you want) and depending on how fashionable you are. My trusty Random House paper dictionary is copyrighted at1995, cost me a mere US$12.95 plus tax.
E-dictionaries are more fragile. Drop your paper dictionary. Go ahead. Hold it above your head and drop it.
E-dictionaries need batteries. Batteries are temperature sensitive. Batteries cost money, too.
E-dictionaries have keypads. Typing in the spelling of a word is harder and more time consuming than looking through pages and using the index at the top of each page.Sound . Little devices beep (嘟嘟声) when you press the buttons, but it is very disturbing to some people in a classroom situation or library.
Finally, let’s consider making corrections or additions. No dictionary is perfect, paper version or electronic. However, when you find something you’d like to change in the e-dictionary, you can’t do anything about it. You can pencil in some notes with the paper type. Similarly, if you learn a word that isn’t in the dictionary, a few notes of a pencil make it easy to increase its memory capacity. And, for those students whose habit is to mark certain words with a highlight pen for ease of future reference, again, the paper dictionary wins out.
| A．But it is impossible to do so with a keypad model. |
| B．They may even contain more words and expressions. |
| C． Let me add a statement about one that really troubles me. |
| D．Now, try this with any lightweight plastic e-dictionary, and you’ll be picking up the pieces. |
E．That huge, heavy paper dictionary that you see in your library looks like a building block in size and weight.
F．E-dictionaries have advantages as well as disadvantages.
G．Let’s take a look at the following reasons.
