六、阅读下面的短文，完成表格(每空一词)。
Family vs Friends
It is Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then have a dinner together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you that it is your aunt's birthday, and the whole family is going out to dinner to have a celebration. How can this end without a quarrel?
The tension(紧张情绪) between teenagers and their family mainly comes from how to balance what they want and what their family hopes. You once spent most of your free time with your parents. When you want to spend more and more time with your friends, your parents' feelings may get hurt. They might feel that they are losing control(控制) of you during the period. You might feel angry that so many family requirements are placed on you.
Here are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease(缓解) the tension between you and your family.
* Tell your plan to your parents first and ask your parents whether there is something else planned at that time.
* When your buddy activities come with a family event, try to find out if there is any way you can do both. You can spend a little time with each group. You can go to the family event and ask to be with your friends next time. You can also invite your friends to the family event.
* Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. When your parents know you want to spend time with them, they will feel better.
Sometimes the results cannot make both pleased. However, the tension can be eased if you think about the feelings of your family as well as those of yourself and your friends.
