When you were a teenager, did you ever feel that your parents just didn’t understand you? You are not alone. This is what we call “growing pains”. But recently, scientists have found that this period of conflict might actually be good for you.
A study from the University of Virginia followed 184 teenagers for over a decade. They recorded the arguments between the teenagers and their parents. The result was surprising. The teenagers who had mild (温和的) arguments with their parents, such as discussing disagreements calmly, were more likely to have successful friendships later in life. They learned how to stand up for themselves in a proper way.
However, the study also found that teenagers who had no arguments with their parents were often “people pleasers”. They might have difficulty saying “no” to peer pressure (同伴压力) later. On the other hand, teenagers who had very serious, shouting matches with parents often ended up with unstable relationships.
Joseph Allen, the lead researcher, said, “Arguments with parents teach teenagers how to manage conflicts. If they can learn to express their needs clearly without being aggressive (攻击性的), they will be better at handling problems in other relationships.”
So, if you sometimes argue with your parents about your grades, your friends, or your career choices, don’t worry too much. It might just be that you are learning important life skills. But remember, the key is to communicate calmly and respect each other. That’s how growing pains turn into gains.
26. What did the study from the University of Virginia find?
A. All arguments are bad for teenagers.
B. Mild arguments can help teenagers in the long run.
C. Parents should never argue with their children.
D. Teenagers who argue a lot are more popular.
27. What does the underlined phrase “people pleasers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. 总是想让所有人开心的人 B. 经常和别人争吵的人
C. 非常有攻击性的人 D. 没有朋友的人
28. According to Joseph Allen, what is the right way to argue?
A. To shout to show you are strong. B. To keep silent to avoid conflict.
C. To express needs clearly and calmly. D. To give in to your parents immediately.
29. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Parents should encourage their children to argue.
B. Arguments always lead to broken relationships.
C. Teenagers should avoid all arguments with parents.
D. How you argue matters more than whether you argue.
30. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Win an Argument B. The History of Teenagers
C. Growing Pains Can Be Gains D. A Study from University
C

Dear Helen,
I’m glad to get a letter from you. And I am writing to you to tell something about having a healthy life.
A healthy life makes us feel good both in body and mind. In order to live healthily, we should have healthy eating habits in our daily life. Besides, take up some physical hobbies like swimming and playing basketball, so we can have fun and make our lives colourful. Last but not least, when we are in low spirits or have difficulties, it’s a good idea to ask others for help. A problem shared is a problem halved.
Let’s have good living habits and enjoy our lives better.
Yours,
Li Ming
