五、阅读理解。
When a teen and a parent argue, it does not mean that something is wrong with their relationship. It just means that they see things in different ways. Parents of teenagers should realize this kind of arguments happens in almost every family.
In the early years of children's lives, parents are the most important people in their world. Their love and support mean a lot to children. As children get older and have more contact with other people than their parents, their behaviours will be influenced by other people.
Building up independence
As teens build up independence, parents need to understand a number of points. They are still the most important influence in their children's lives while teens are trying to become adults. One of their greatest difficulties is becoming independent while keeping a loving relationship with parents.
Fighting for control
When children are young, many parents keep control over most parts of their children's life. These parents choose their children's clothes, friends, hobbies and so on. As children grow older, they realize they can never grow into adults without having control of their lives. As a result, teens begin to fight for control. In this period, even a simple topic can trigger a disagreement. Topics that cause the greatest stress in a family include family rules, responsibility and so on. In fact, teens are still worried about losing the most important thing in their lives—the love of parents. At the same time, parents may feel hurt about teens' abilities to care for themselves. It is stressful because everyone cares so greatly about each other.
▲
What are some ways that parents can begin to break the cycle of disagreement with their teens? First of all, be aware that teenagers must become independent. If becoming independent is the task of children, then the task of parents must be to help their children reach independence by allowing them to walk(and fall), talk(and make mistakes) and slowly take control of their lives. Also, parents should try to keep the communication lines open and be a good example for their teens to follow. Sometimes parents may need to learn new ways to deal with their own problems, instead of allowing the teen's fight for independence to get mixed up with their questions.

【分析】做这类英语阅读理解题，需先通读全文把握主旨，再针对每道题的题型（细节理解、词义猜测、段落主旨、全文主旨），定位原文对应内容分析选项：1题是细节题，需找亲子争吵的原因，定位第一段；2题是词义猜测题，结合上下文语境推断划线词含义；3题是段落小标题题，需分析▲后段落的核心内容；4题是主旨题，需明确作者的写作对象和目的。
【解析】
