He climbed up on the wall and jumped down, too. Mr. Browns only thought was, “Im in great danger!” He stood up and shouted, “What do you want? Why are you following me?” The man was so tired that at first it was difficult for him to speak. “I didnt know that you were a very good runner,” he said at last, “I have to go to Mr. Whites house, but I dont know the way.

But during the summer vacation in 2011, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their 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(说). Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. She used to sit with me on the sofa and talk. 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(少女). The problem is finding out which time is which. Before age 11, children like to tell their parents whats on their minds. In fact, parents are first on the list, said Michael Riera, writer of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. This completely changes during the ten years, Riera explained. They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last. Parents who know whats going on in their teenagers 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 (心灵) break, for children also need freedom, although they are 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.41. The door to his room is always shut shows that the son .A. is busy with his homework B. doesnt want to talk to his parentsC. needs same sleep D. is too tired42. What troubles Tina and Mark most is that their daughter .A. talks little in class B. asks for too much moneyC. only talks to her heat friendD. talks with them only when she wants something43. The writer thinks that parents should .A. make their children study hairier B. understand their childrenC. ask their children to open the doors D. give more money to their children44. The wall of silence in the last paragraph (段落) means .A. children do not talk much with their parentsB, parents only ask their children to study hardC. parents always sit silently with their childrenD. children need free time to get themselves relaxed45. According to the passage, what advice does the writer give to parents?A. Be a manager with your children. B. Never talk to much to your children.C. Be a friend with your children. D. Give you children whatever they want.四所给词的适当形式填空(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)46. Im so hungry now, mom. Would you mind _(give) me something to eat?47. Look! Three children _(run) after a ball.48.
