Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into① a battle②?Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded?Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on③ anything? You are not alone. Heated arguments④ and cold silences⑤ are common between teenagers and their parents. Teenagers' physical changes may result in⑥ such family tensions⑦.You may feel anxious⑧ that you are developing at a different rate⑨ to your friends, ［1］shooting up⑩ in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots⑪. When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first targets⑫ of your anger⑬. ［1］此处为现在分词短语作状语。 ［2］It can be a big headache⑭ to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground⑮—no longer⑯ a small child but not quite an adult⑰.［3］You have both a new desire for⑱ independence and a continued need for your parents' love and support.You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions⑲ on your own⑳. ［4］Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy.“Why can't they just let me go?” you may wonder. On the other hand, when you are struggling to control㉑ your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride㉒.It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to㉓ a breakdown㉔ in your relationship. ［2］本句中It作形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式短语“to balance your developing mental needs”。 ［3］本句中包含“both...and...”结构，连接两个并列的名词短语“a new desire for independence”和“a continued need...support”。 ［4］本句为and连接的并列句。第一个分句中not always意为“不总是……”，表示部分否定；第二个分句中“makes you feel unhappy”是“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。 Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation. The key to㉕ keeping the peace is regular㉖ and honest communication. When you disagree with㉗ your parents, take a minute to calm down㉘ and try to understand the situation from their point of view㉙.Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain. After you have thought it through㉚, explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen carefully, and address㉛ their concerns㉜. ［5］Through this kind of healthy discussion, you will learn when to back down㉝ and when to ask your parents to relax their control. ［5］本句中“Through...discussion”是介词短语作状语；“when to back down”和“when to ask...control”是“特殊疑问词+to do”结构，在句中作learn的宾语。 Just remember that it is completely normal㉞ to struggle with the stress㉟ that parent-child tensions create, and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship.［6］The good news is that this stormy period㊱ will not last.Everything will turn out㊲ all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for㊳ adulthood. ［6］本句中that引导表语从句。 原文翻译 同一屋檐下的陌生人？ 是不是你和父母的每一顿饭，似乎都会演变成一场争执？你们曾经暖心、坦诚的对话，是否已变得冷漠且谨慎？你是否觉得，你已经无法在任何事情上与他们意见一致？你并不是唯一的一个。激烈的争吵和冷战在青少年和他们的父母之间司空见惯。 青少年的生理变化可能会导致这种紧张的家庭关系。你可能会感到焦虑，因为你发现自己的发育速度和朋友们不同：要么是个头猛蹿，要么是远远落在其他人后面。变声、体重问题或粉刺都可能会让你忧心忡忡。当这一切让你不堪重负时，父母通常会成为你发泄愤怒的首选目标。 如何平衡日益发展的心理需求，也是个颇让人头疼的大问题。你进入了一个奇怪的中间地带——既不再是小孩子，也还不算是成年人。你既渴望独立，却又不断需要父母的关爱和支持。你感觉自己已经做好准备，可以肩负更多责任，可以独立做决定。可惜，你的父母并不总是认同这一点，这让你感到不快乐。你可能会想：“他们为什么就不能对我放手呢？”另一方面，当你努力控制自己的情绪时，你希望他们能更加体贴，更有耐心——有时候，他们会忘记成长是一个艰难的过程。当你的父母把你当作孩子来对待，却希望你表现得像个大人时，你的处境就会很艰难。所有这些都可能会导致亲子关系的破裂。 虽然有时候一家人似乎根本无法和谐相处，但你还是可以采取行动改善这一局面。维持和睦关系的关键在于定期、坦诚的沟通。当你和父母意见相左时，花点时间让自己冷静下来，尝试从他们的角度了解情况。也许他们有过类似的经历，不希望你承受同样的痛苦。考虑周全后，你要心平气和地向他们解释你的行为和感受，仔细倾听，打消他们的顾虑。通过这种良性讨论，你会学会何时要做出让步，何时可以要求父母放松对你的控制。 你只要记住，与亲子关系紧张带来的压力作斗争是完全正常的，而且你和你的父母可以共同努力，改善你们的关系。好消息是这段冲突不断的时期不会一直持续下去。到最后，一切都会好转，而你在青少年时期经历的变化和挑战会让你为成年时期做好准备。 教材原文助读4 读文清障 文本助解释疑 词汇积累 ①account ［əˈkaʊnt］ n． 账户;描述；解释 vt.认为是，视为 ②count out sth.（放置东西时）逐一数出 count sb．in把某人算入，包括 ③rent ［rent］ n．［U，C］租金vi.& vt.租用；出租 ④piece n. ［C］ ［熟词生义］（某价值的）硬币 a five-cent piece一枚五分的硬币 ⑤grocery ［ˈɡrəʊsəri］ n.［pl.］食品杂货； ［C］食品杂货店 ⑥with interest饶有兴趣地 ⑦nod ［nɒd］ vi．＆ vt． 点头；点头致意，点头示意 nod at/to sb．向某人点头示意 ⑧secure ［sɪˈkjʊə（r）］ adj. 安心的；可靠的；牢固的 ⑨graduate ［ˈɡrædʒueɪt］ vi.& vt.毕业 ［ˈɡrædʒuət］ n．毕业生 ⑩gather ［ˈɡæð ə（r）］ vi．聚集，集合vt.收拢；搜集，收集；聚集 ⑪lay vt．（laid，laid）（尤指轻轻地或小心地）放置，安放，搁；铺设 vt.＆ vi．（鸟、昆虫、鱼等）下（蛋），产（卵） ⑫emergency ［iˈmɜ:dʒənsi］ n.［C，U］突发事件，紧急情况 ⑬volunteer ［ˌvɒlənˈtɪə（r）］ vt.＆ vi．主动建议（或告诉）；自愿做，义务做n.志愿者 ⑭pipe ［paɪp］ n.［C］烟斗；［C，U］管子；［C］管乐器 ⑮reach across the table伸长手臂去够桌子另一端的东西 ⑯figure ［ˈfɪɡə（r）］ n. 数字；人物；体形，身材 ⑰downtown ［ˌdaʊnˈtaʊn］ adv.在市中心，往市中心 ⑱draw sth．out of sth. 提取，支取；从……中汲取…… ⑲operation ［ˌɒpəˈreɪʃn］ n. ［C］手术；［U］运转，操作 ⑳depend upon/on依赖，依靠 ㉑lap ［læp］ n．大腿部 ㉒for the first time首次；第一次 the first time第一次（用作连词） ㉓teller ［ˈtelə（r）］ n．［C］出纳员；叙述者 ㉔（be） adapted from...改编自…… adapt ［əˈdæpt］ vt.改编 vi ＆ vt．（使）适应 be adapted for... 为……而改编 adapt oneself to... 使某人自己适应…… ［文化采风］ 《妈妈的银行账户》是美国作家凯瑟琳·福布斯的自传体短篇小说集。作者根据家族经历，从孩子的视角叙述了17个温馨感人的小故事，这些小故事共同构成了20世纪初从挪威移民至美国旧金山的一家人的生活全景。移民生活远非家人想象得那般甜蜜美好，但一家人在妈妈的影响下，始终以智慧和坚毅面对着每天的挫折和挑战。只要有妈妈在，家人就充满了战胜困难、共渡难关的勇气。 读文清障 Mama and Her Bank Account① Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table and count out② the money Papa had brought home. “For the rent③.” Mama would count out the big silver pieces④. “For the groceries⑤.” Another group of coins. “I'll need a notebook.” That would be my sister Christine, my brother Nels or me. Mama would put one or two coins to the side. We would watch with anxious interest⑥. At last, Papa would ask, “Is that all?” And when Mama nodded⑦, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile, “Good. We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of Mama's Bank Account. It gave us such a warm, secure⑧ feeling. When Nels graduated⑨ from grammar school, he wanted to go on to high school. “It will cost a little money,” he said. Eagerly we gathered⑩ around the table. I took down a box and laid⑪ it carefully in front of Mama. This was the “Little Bank”. ［1］It was used for sudden emergencies⑫, such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor. ［1］本句中when引导定语从句，修饰先行词the time；when在定语从句中作时间状语。 Nels listed the costs of the things he would need. Mama counted out the money in the Little Bank. There was not enough. “We do not want to go to the Bank,” she reminded. We all shook our heads. “I will work in Dillon's grocery after school,” Nels volunteered⑬. Mama gave him a bright smile and wrote down a number. “That's not enough,” Papa said. Then he took his pipe⑭ out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. “I will give up smoking,” he said suddenly. Mama reached across the table⑮ and touched Papa's arm. Then she wrote down another figure⑯. “I will look after the Elvington children every Friday night,” I said. “Christine can help me.” Now there was enough money. ［2］We all felt very good because we did not have to go downtown⑰ and draw money out of⑱ Mama's Bank Account. ［2］本句中because引导原因状语从句。 So many things came out of the Little Bank that year: Christine's dress for the school play, my little sister Dagmar's operation⑲...［3］Whatever happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon⑳. ［3］本句中Whatever引导让步状语从句；主句中的“we still had the Bank to depend upon”是省略连接词that的宾语从句，作knew的宾语。 That was twenty years ago. Last year I sold my first story. When the check came, I hurried over to Mama's and put it in her lap㉑. “For you,” I said, “to put in your Bank Account.” I noticed for the first time㉒ how old Mama and Papa looked. Papa seemed shorter, and Mama's hair was silver now. “Tomorrow,” I told Mama, “you must take it to the Bank.” “You will go with me, Katrin?” “That won't be necessary. Just hand it to the teller㉓. He'll pay it into your account.” Mama looked at me. “There is no account,” she said. “In all my life, I've never been inside a bank.” And when I didn't—couldn't—answer, Mama said seriously, “［4］It is not good for little ones to be afraid—to not feel secure.” ［4］本句中It作形式主语，动词不定式短语为真正的主语，动词不定式短语的逻辑主语是little ones。 good用了斜体，表示强调。 （Adapted from㉔ Kathryn Forbes's Mama's Bank Account, ［5］which has 17 short stories and describes the struggles and dreams of a family in San Francisco in the early 1900s） ［5］此处为which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Mama's Bank Account。 原文翻译 妈妈和她的银行账户 每个星期六的晚上，妈妈都会坐在餐桌旁，清点爸爸带回家的钱。 “这些付房租。”妈妈会先把大面额的银币点出来。 “这些买生活用品。”又是一摞硬币。 “我需要一个笔记本。”说这话的，通常是我的妹妹克里斯蒂娜，或是我的哥哥内尔斯，要不就是我。 妈妈听完会把一两个硬币拿到一旁。我们几个都兴致勃勃地看着。最后，爸爸会问：“就这些了？”妈妈点点头，我们几个都稍稍松了口气。妈妈会抬起头，微笑着说：“太好了，我们不用去银行啦。”我们所有人都为妈妈的银行账户感到十分自豪。它让我们感到如此温暖、踏实。 当内尔斯从文法学校毕业后，他想继续读中学。“上学要花点儿钱，”他说。 于是一家人又急切地围到了餐桌旁。我取下一个盒子，小心翼翼地把它放在妈妈面前。这个小盒子是我们的“小金库”。它是用来应对家中不时之需的，比如有一回，克里斯蒂娜胳膊骨折，必须得送医。 内尔斯列出了他所需物品的开支清单。妈妈清点了“小金库”里所有的钱——还是不够。“大家都不想动银行里的存款吧！”妈妈提醒。我们几个都摇了摇头。 “我放学后可以去狄龙的杂货店打工，”内尔斯自告奋勇道。 妈妈给了他一个灿烂的微笑，然后写下了另一个数字。“还是不够，”爸爸说。然后他取下了嘴里的烟斗，对着它端详了半晌。“我会把烟戒了，”他冷不丁地说。 妈妈把手伸到桌子对面，摸了摸爸爸的胳膊。然后她记下了另一个数字。 “我每周五晚上可以去照看埃尔温顿家的孩子，”我说，“克里斯蒂娜可以帮我。” 现在钱终于凑足了。大家都很开心，因为我们不用去城里从妈妈的银行账户里取钱了。 那一年，“小金库”应付了很多事：克里斯蒂娜参加学校演出的裙子、我小妹妹达格玛的手术……无论发生什么，我们一直都知道，最后还有妈妈的银行账户这个靠山。 一转眼二十年过去了。 去年，我卖出了我的第一部小说。拿到支票后，我迫不及待地冲到妈妈家里，把支票放到她的大腿上。“给您的，”我说，“存到您的银行账户里吧。” 我第一次发现，爸爸妈妈看起来苍老了许多。爸爸似乎变矮了，而妈妈如今已是满头白发。 “明天，”我跟妈妈说，“您一定要把这笔钱存到银行里。” “你会跟我一块儿去的吧，凯特琳？” “没必要啦，您把支票交给出纳员就好，他会帮您把钱存进您的账户的。” 妈妈看着我。“根本就没有银行账户，”她说，“我这辈子压根都没踏进过银行一步。” 我不知道该回应什么——也无法回应，这时，妈妈郑重地说道：“让小孩子担惊受怕，心里不踏实，是不好的。” （改编自凯瑟琳·福布斯的《妈妈的银行账户》。这本书由17个小故事组成，描绘了20世纪初旧金山一家人的奋斗和梦想） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
