B When you were a little child，your parents made decisions about everything for you because you weren't old enough to take care of yourself and make careful decisions.Finally，however，you grow up and become a teenager.You begin to have your own thoughts and opinions about life. As you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions，your parents may have a difficult time adjusting (调整).They aren't used to the new you—they only know you as a child. In most families，adjustment can cause lots of arguments between teens and parents. You want to cover your walls with posters，but your parents don't understand why you don't like your wallpaper anymore.Then you feel your parents don't respect you and don't allow you to do what you like，and your parents get angry because they disagree with your decisions.And some other things—like friends you have—can cause even bigger arguments，because your parents will always be ready to protect you and keep you safe，no matter how old you are. However，the good news is that there will be fewer arguments as your parents realize that you have grown up and should have your own ideas.Before you get on very well with each other again，communication between you and your parents is very important. 6.The writer describes ________ in the first paragraph. A. the decisions you may make B. the changes you may make C. the happy time you may have D. the friends you may have 7.Why do your parents need to adjust when you become independent? A.

Because they're not familiar with (熟悉) the new you. 8.The underlined word “respect” means “________” in Chinese. A. 责备 B. 培养 C. 欢迎 D. 尊重 9.From the passage，we can learn that ________. A. teenagers like to be with their parents B.parents may have a happy time adjusting C.parents don't need to respect their children D.friends you have may cause bigger arguments 10.In order to get on well with your parents，you should often ________. A. communicate with them B. agree with their ideas C. protect them D. do what you like 四、根据句意及汉语提示写单词，完成句子。(每空2分，共10分) 1.Please read the article first and get a __________(总的) idea of it. 2.Mr. Wang is a ___________(幽默的) man.
