原文呈现

Strangers under the same roof?

Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a battle? Have your once warm and open conversations① become cold and guarded②？ Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them③on anything 【1】？You are not alone.Heated arguments④ and cold silences⑤are common between teenagers⑥ and their parents.

【1】本句为复合句。整体是一般疑问句，从句that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything是宾语从句。

Teenagers’ physical changes may result in⑦ such family tensions⑧.You may feel anxious⑨ that you are developing at a different rate to your friends，shooting up⑩ in height or getting left far behind【2】．You might worry about your changing voice，weight problems or spots⑪.When it all gets too much，your parents are often the first targets of your anger.

【2】本句feel anxious that...意思是担心……。that引导宾语从句，从句中are developing，(are)shooting up...or (are) getting...用作并列谓语。

It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs⑫ too.You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult⑬.You have both a new desire⑭ for independence and a continued need for your parents’ love and support.You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own.Unfortunately⑮，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 hand⑯，when you are struggling⑰ to control your feelings，you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride.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 to a breakdown⑱ in your relationship.

Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family，you can take action to improve the situation.The key to keeping the peace⑲ is regular and honest communication.When you disagree with your parents，take a minute to calm down⑳ and try to understand the situation from their point of view.Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain.After you have thought it through，explain your actions and feelings calmly，listen carefully，and address their concerns.Through this kind of healthy discussion，you will learn when to back downand when to ask your parents to relax their control【3】．

【3】本句是简单句。介词短语through this kind of healthy discussion作状语，两个“when to do...”名词性短语在句中作learn 的宾语。

Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress that parent－child tensions create，and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship.The good news is that this stormy period will not last.Everything will turn out all right in the end，and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood.

Fill in the following blanks according to the text.

It’s common for 1.teenagers(teenage) to have difficult relationships with their parents.There are two main causes.Teenagers’ physical changes will result in such family 2.tensions(tension)．It can be 3.a big headache to balance their developing mental needs too.All of this can lead 4.to a breakdown in your relationship.

【提 能 练】

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

     When I was a little girl，I remember that when my dad was repairing something，he would ask me to hold the hammer，so we would have time for a conversation with each other.I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out.All he did after work was taking care of his family.

I grew up and left home for college and since then，my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning.And when I bought a house several years later，my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat.All he asked was to talk to him，but I was too busy in those days.

Four years ago，my dad visited me.He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter.He asked me to have a talk with him，but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.

One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual.I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately.I was in a hurry，so our conversation was short.Several hours later that day I received a call.My father was in hospital.Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad.By the time I arrived at the hospital，my father had passed away.Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me.I realized how little I knew about my dad，his deepest thoughts and his dreams.

After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself.All he ever wanted was my time.And now he has all my attention every single day.

Ⅱ.七选五

Perseverance (坚持不懈) isn’t easy.But before you blame your lack of willpower，consider this：Building mental (精神的) strength is similar to building physical strength.In just a few minutes each day，you can train your brain to think differently，manage your emotions，and behave productively.__1__

Make gratitude (感恩) a habit by thinking about three things you are grateful for in your life.It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink.__2__ Write in a gratitude journal，list the things you feel grateful for over dinner，or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed.Over time，being grateful becomes a second nature.

It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow.__3__ So it’s important to be able to focus on the here and now.With regular practice，you’ll increase the ability to focus.

It can be tempting (引诱人的) to wait until you feel different to make a change.But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire.Instead，when you change your behaviour，your thoughts and your emotions will follow.So when you’re sad，put your shoulders back and smile，and you’ll feel better.__4__

Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength.Simple，short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength.__5__ Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.

A．Mental strength is closely related to physical strength.

B．With regular exercise，you’ll build your mental strength.

C．The only time you can change your behaviour is right now.

D．Don’t expect feelings of confidence to come out of nowhere.

E．You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.

F．Therefore，you can stay away from some bad habits by regular training.

G．Besides，pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.

【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。介绍了如何锻炼自己的毅力。

1．B　[根据上文的“In just a few minutes each day，you can train your brain...”和下文介绍的几种方法，可知B项中的regular exercise与上下文语境呼应，故选B项。]

2．E　[本段的主题是Make gratitude a habit，设空处后介绍的写感恩日记、在晚餐时列出你感恩的事情、在睡觉前找到你要感恩的事情等都是在培养感恩的习惯，故E项符合语境，其中的by making gratitude a habit与上下文呼应。]

3．C　[根据设空处后的focus on the here and now可知，C项符合语境。]

4．D　[根据设空处前的put your shoulders back and smile，and you’ll feel better可知，当你难过的时候，挺起肩来，微笑一下，这样你会感觉好一些。这是对不好的情绪所采取的一种调节措施，故D项符合语境。]

5．G　[本段的主题是增强精神力量。再根据设空处后的a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength可知，有些坏习惯会影响你的精神力量，因此要克服这些坏习惯。故G项符合语境。]
