One day my 13-year-old daughter told me that she was going to spend the afternoon at her friend Jesse’s house. I didn’t doubt it until I called Jesse’s number to remind Liz that it was her turn to walk the dog, and Jesse’s mom picked up the phone and said, “I thought she and Jesse were planning to be at your house.” It turned out that the two of them had decided to hang out at a coffee shop instead. When I questioned my daughter, she replied coldly, “What’s the big deal? You’re such a psycho(精神变态者).”

Can you say it is right or wrong for them to behave like that? Their changeable personalities leave you feeling angry and guilty at the same time. In fact, if your kids don’t annoy you from time to time, you’re not doing your job.

“There’s nothing wrong about being angry with your child,” Says Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D., author of The 10 Basic Principles of Good Parenting. “Conflict is natural when your innocent, lovely child turns into an adolescent who can hardly tolerate (忍受) you. It’s part of the process of separation.” Kids insisted on their individuality with behavior to purposely drive you crazy. It’s their way of saying, “I am my own person” -- but doing it in a context that’s safe and that has clear limits.

So when your little darling changes into a silent person who still expects meals, clothing, and transportation, don’t panic. Here’s how to handle some common problems without losing your temper or your self-respect.

1.It can be learned from the first paragraph that ________.

A. Jesse’s mother told a lie

B. the writer was too sensitive

C. Liz told a lie to her mother

D. the writer’s daughter stayed at Jesse’s house

2.By saying “In fact, if your kids don’t annoy you from time to time, you’re not doing your job”, the writer probably means that _________.

A. when you are doing a job, your kids shouldn’t annoy you

B. parents should be responsible for children’s bad behavior

C. parents shouldn’t tolerate their children’s bad behavior

D. it’s understandable for kids to annoy their parents

3.What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. It’s right for parents to be angry with their children.

B. It’s allowed for children to do anything as they like.

C. It’s bad behavior for children to drive their parents angry.

D. It’s normal for adolescents to go against the wishes of their parents sometimes.

4.What would the writer state in the following paragraphs?

A.How to be good parents.

B.How to be good children.

C.Rules for children to follow.

D.How to deal with adolescents’ common problems properly.
