Once a child reaches their teenage years, man...

Once a child reaches their teenage years, many parents may think it is too late to help them change a negative attitude. This is not the case, and while it may take longer, it is possible to help your child develop a positive attitude. Having a positive attitude is important to a teenager’s happiness and success. 1.

Judge your own attitude. 2. Teens watch their parents and how they react to certain experiences and events. Children learn a good part of their belief system from their parents. Therefore, a parent’s attitude and a loving home environment are important to help develop positive attitudes in teens.

3. This is the little voice in our heads which we use to communicate with ourselves. Positive self-talk will have a direct influence on how positive a person's attitude and actions are. Tell your teen instead of using negative statements, replace them with positive ones. For example, “I can do this right. I just need to concentrate” is much better than “I failed again. I never do anything right.” If you promote positive self-talk you should notice a clear change in the teenager’s attitude.

Teach your teen to aim high, while showing her how to acknowledge her limitations.

4. If your teen wants to achieve the impossible, this will only make her feel negative when she fails to do it. Unrealistic expectations are one of the biggest causes of negative attitudes in children, says the Kids Health website.

Try to praise your teenager when he deserves it. Show him you value him and recognize when he makes positive choices. 5. Be sure to give credit when credit is due. Your teen’s attitude will be much more positive if you also show him respect as well as command it from him.

A. Teach them how to self-talk.

B. A child’s attitude is a learned behavior.

C. Avoid unkind blames to affect your teen’s attitude.

D. A negative attitude can result in them feeling upset.

E. There is no problem having reasonable dreams.

F. Most teenagers will appreciate their parent’s praise.

G. Encourage him to take up new hobbies or interests.

I hear many parents saying that their teenagers are rebellious(反叛的). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at another’s hands for safety.

They say they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such way is that the cords is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon—into a larger cocoon.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly opened up a teenager market. These days every teenager can learn from newspapers and TV what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to great difficulty for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the difficulty is worth getting over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.

Many parents often say their teenage son looks like a grown　 man.He is taller than his father，and his voice has turned deep.But his behavior is another matter.He makes hurried decisions, tries to smoke and drink，drives cars too fast and always makes his parents annoyed.Why?

That's because his brain is developing more slowly than his　 body.Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health and UCLA carried　 out　 a long­time　 study　 of normal　 brain development.They found that the frontal lobe (大脑额叶 )，the area responsible for understanding future influences，making wise decisions and controlling impulses(冲动)，does not become mature (成熟的)until the early 20s.

Because of the immature brains，teenagers are easily influenced by the environment and unexpected behavior.So their death rates rise sharply.Research shows that rates of death by injury for people between the age of 15 and 19 are six times those seen in kids aged 10 to 14.The government reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in a car accident and three times more likely to die in one.

Teens may be attracted to drugs and alcohol.Rates of drug and alcohol use are high when compared with those of other age groups.Frances Jensen and David Urion，doctors at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School，discovered that adult brain cells recovered (恢复 ) more quickly from alcohol influence than younger brain cells.Jensen said in Harvard Magazine: “For a teenager，what he drank on the weekend is still with him during that test on Thursday.”

Teens aren't making trouble on purpose.They long for freedom，but they are still young.They're still forming into the adults they'll eventually be.And，of course，they won't be at this age forever.Home education plays one of the most important roles in young people's growth，and the influence is most lasting.Finally，they will grow up and become wise adults.

1.Which of the following is NOT the typical behavior of a teenage boy?

A. Driving cars too fast.

B. Making their parents annoyed.

C. Quarreling with their friends.

D. Making careless decisions.

2.Teens death rates rise sharply because of their ________.

A. immature brains

B. brave and impatient character

C. small and cheap cars

D. changeable environments

3.From the last paragraph，we can make the conclusion that ________.

A. teenagers should have freedom to do what they like to do

B. teenagers still require lots of care and attention from their parents

C. teenagers usually make their parents annoyed on purpose

D. teenagers actually know how to make wise decisions

There is no doubt that many parents want to mold (塑造)their child to be better, faster, smarter and more skilled. Even though human parents can’t do that, a robot that builds its own children can. Scientists at the University of Cambridge in England have created a mother robot that not only creates its own children, but tests out their performance.

The mother robot analyzes(分析)the performance of each of the “children” it creates, and passes down good characters to the next generation

For example, as the mother creates them and puts them to work, she measures how they’re behaving, and she uses data from this behavior to create the next generation of robots.

The mother robot can actually build hundreds of child robots and see the performance of these child robots. And if their performance is good, keep their design for the next generation. And if bad, just let it go.

“We program the robots based on some functions that define(规定)the reward the robots are going to get, depending on the construction that they make. They cannot change their own reward. For the child robot, the longer the distance the robot walks, the better the reward it receives,” said Fumiya Iida, the lead researcher.

After several generations, the “children” were running twice as fast.

“The mother robot produced 500 robots to see which one is good and which one is bad,” said Iida.

The researchers believe that the machines can be used in a car factory, for example, where robot cameras examine each ear in production line, find out any mistakes, and then design a better car.

1.What is special about the mother robot?

A. It can analyze data

B. It can create child robots

C. It’s smarter than human mothers

D. It can build and improve its own children.

2.How does the mother robot mold her own children to be better?

A. It teachers them how to behave better.

B. It reprograms the bad ones after analyzing their performance

C. It copies hundreds of child robots and then chooses the best ones.

D. It keeps the good characters for the next generation to create a better robot.

3.What is the key point in influencing the child robot to receive a reward?

A. Size　　 B. Distance.

C. Behavior　　 D. Speed.

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict（冲突）between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part，this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ （青少年）complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.

In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrel on unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong，for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

1.Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?

A. Both can continue for generations.

B. Both are about where to draw the line.

C. Neither has any clear winner.

D. Neither can be put to an end.

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.

B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.

C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.

D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.

3.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to__________.

A. give orders to the other          B. know more than the other

C. gain respect from the other       D. get the other to behave properly

4.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts

B. Examples of the parent-teen war

C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems

D. Future of the parent-teen relationship
