小练(四)　阅读完形提分练1 阅读理解　A　体裁：记叙文　主题语境：家庭生活　难度：★★★☆☆ I always feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fights between nations. When my three children were young, most days it was hard to keep my house from becoming a battlefield. It got worse as they grew older. Three years ago, Zack, then 16, couldn't make it through a day without making his sisters, Alex 11 and Taryn 9, angry. My husband and I tried to be understanding the boy at such an age. We reasoned, punished, and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how he was hurting our family. His answer was “I say it because it's true.” I even tried telling the girls to fight back. Bad idea. Now I had three children at war. Whatever I said to them, they paid no attention. When there was no way out, I told everything to my sister, Mary, in an email. She replied, “Don't email me. Email him.” Our son was online every day, mailing and talking with his friends. Maybe he would actually hear me this way. I didn't say anything different, but email just took the tension away. There'd be no shouting or door banging. Zack wouldn't feel under attack. Zack didn't reply for days. When he finally did, his entire message was four small words. I smiled when I read them：“You're right. I'm sorry.” The children still fought, of course, but Zack changed. Best of all, I now have a better way to talk with not one but three of them. I like it that they don't tune me out as much as they used to. They like not having to listen to me shouting to them. Or as Alex says, “You're so much nicer online.” All I know is that the house is quiet. But we're talking. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者在文中介绍了处于叛逆期的儿子和父母、姐妹相处不好而给作者造成的烦恼。后来作者的姐姐给作者出主意，让作者给儿子发电子邮件，这一做法收到了很好的效果。 好词　①be involved in被卷入；参与； ②reason vi.讲道理； ③heartfelt adj.真诚的； ④battlefield n. 战场 1．What was the trouble before the online talk in the family?
