To begin building structure, teens need love and trust. They need to know their parents are there to give them needed love and support. Teens want to be sure that nothing can prevent parents from shouldering their responsibility for them not their growing maturity (成熟),misbehavior, nor anger at something they have done. Teens want parents to keep control while allowing them to make some decisions. There are some ways you can help your teens create reasonable structure and remain close. One way is to spend time together. Parents often mistake their teens increased interest in friends for a disinterest in the family. Teens would like to spend more time doing things with their parents, but watching TV is not counted as spending time together. As your teens mature, it is important for you and your teens spend time alone together, one to one. Your teens need time to talk to you alone without any other family member present. Talk with your teens about their interests and concerns. Make sure you really show interest in what is happening. When talking with your teens, give full attention and do not stop them. The way to help your teens become adults is to let your teens into your world. Sharing your emotions and concerns with your teens is important. Avoid causing needless worry. Trust your teens. Dont expect the worst. Hope for the best. Telling your teens you dont like their friends will cause the teens not to bring their friends home. If something should go wrong, believe that your teens didnt do it on purpose. It is very important that you treat your teens with respect. Teens need the same respect adults show for total strangers. Dont talk down to your teens. You need to be supportive of your teens. What may be a small problem to you may be troubling to your teens. Teens dont have the experiences that adults have had. Let the teens know that you understand how much it hurts when something happens that is upsetting or hurtful to them. As they mature, they can look back at some problems they had and laugh at having been upset by something that now seems unimportant. The most important things to remember are: talk with your teens, listen to their worries and offer suggestions when needed. This will help your teens to live a well-organized life. （1）According to Paragraph 1, teens _. A . can control themselves.B . expect direction and freedom.C . dont know how to make decisionsD . dont have responsibility for the family（2）The underline part counted as in Paragraph 3 probably means _. A . compared withB . used asC . connected withD . regarded as（3）To help teens organize their lives , parents should _. A . invite their teens friends homeB . leave their teens problems alone.C . share their feelings with their teens.D . pay little attention to their teens daily lives.（4）What is the best title of the passage ? A . Training Teens to Become Responsible Adults.B . Helping Teens to Build Reasonable Structure.C . Improving the Relationship with Your Teens.D . Stepping into Your Teens Secret Word.4. （8分） Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.（1）The best title（标题）of the passage is _.A .
