The relationship between parents and children is one of the longest lasting　 connection in life．How can you show love for your parents? Here are some ways．

Spend time together.74. Doing activities that you all enjoy can help you understand your parents better．For example, if you like rock climbing, invite your parents to an easy climbing wall with you. This gives you the chance to teach them something and that may support your hobby more if they’ve experienced it with you．

Remember that quarrelling is normal．Say sorry if you have done or said something hurtful.Learn other ways to express your anger such as writing to a friend for advice. If your parents are doing something that annoys you, try to deal with it calmly and suggest a good way．

Talk to your parents about the things they do that upset you．Your parents don't know what's bothering or annoying you, they won't be able to try to change their behavior. Choose a quiet moment to have a talk with them．Plan what you want to say first in order not to have disagreements with your parents.Talk to your parents about the challenges you're facing．As questions about your parents' experience of being a teenager,because they have useful experience about growing up．Use an example from a TV show or an article as a way to break the ice.Sometimes it's easier to begin a difficult topic by expressing yourself in writing．

1.How many ways are mentioned in the passage?

2.What should you do if your parents are doing something that annoys you？

3.Why do you plan what you want to say first before you talk to your parents？

4.将短文中划线的句子译成汉语．

5.请给短文一个适当的标题。

As a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result, I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn't want their younger brother listening to their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten.

I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I hardly saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt a single tear coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though (尽管) he didn't know me he greeted me like a long lost friend, licking (舔) my chin and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been at least an hour that I patted and talked to this four-legged angel (天使). He let me pour out all my troubles and shared my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye and ambled off either to Heaven or his home. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile.

I believe that God sent him at that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. There is nothing more important than knowing we are loved. When we are loved, we will learn to love others. Learning to love helps us to understand ourselves and other people better.

1.The underlined phrase "left out" most probably means "________" in Chinese.

A.被处理的 B.被厌恶的 C.被冷落的 D.被鄙视的

2.The writer shared his troubles and thoughts with the dog because ________.

A.it was his friend B.it could understand him

C.it looked like an angel D.it was friendly to him

3.The writer wrote the story to ________.

A.encourage people to talk about their troubles

B.show that knowing you are loved is the most Important

C.tell people they should treat animals friendly

D.share his unforgettable experience with us
