Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last

summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to sit

in my arms on the sofa and talk with me,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.”

Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact,

parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,” said Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

Parents who know what’s going on in their teenager’s lives are in the best position to

help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.

32. The underlined part in the 1st paragraph “The door to his room is always shut” suggests

B. their daughter talks with them only when needing help C. they don’t know what to say to their daughter D. they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly

34. Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?

A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.

B. Teenagers don’t want to understand their parents. C. Teenagers talk little about their own lives. D. Teenagers don’t talk much with their parents. 35. What can be learned from the passage?

A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children. B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers. C. Parents should try to understand their teenagers. D. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）

to each other for many years. About half a year ago, an order came which the old building, along with many other similar ones, were going to be pulled down to make room for a main street.

So I had to move apart. Mr. Yang now lives in the suburbs near a beautiful park. His new apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area. Therefore, Mr. Yang doesn’t seem to worry about the long distance.
