A few years ago, my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school? Where was she spending her time? My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after-class activities. Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking app (跟踪应用程序) on the kid's phone.

At first, this made my sister-in-law ''feel better''. Then the good situation suddenly ended. She recalled, ''I found out that she was someplace that she said she wasn't. I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends. '' Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that.

With 73% of teens having their own smartphones now, according to a 2015 Pew study, more and more of their parents are facing the question: To watch or not?

Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. ''I've found teens are more acceptable to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them, '' she said.

Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, ''We don't have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a smart phone, ''he said. For example, his daughter must ''friend'' him on social media so that he can read posts, and must share all passwords.

When you're trying to build trust, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. ''Parents must let children know how and when they'll be watching them, '' said Doctor Pauleh Weigle. If they're not open about it, he warns, it can ''greatly damage the parent and child relationship''.

1.What’s result of the author's sister-in-law using the app?

A.She felt good with knowing her daughter's after school activities.

B.She wasn't worried about her daughter any more.

C.She had more communication with her daughter.

D.She had more conflicts with her daughter.

2.What can we learn about today's teens from Homayoun?

A.They doubt family agreements.

B.They are worried about online safety.

C.They dislike being watched secretly with tracking apps.

D.They welcome the use of tracking apps.

3.Why are Mark Bell and his daughter mentioned in Paragraph 5?

A.To show how to use smart phone safely.

B.To give an example of being straight with children.

C.To teach how to put tracking app on phones.

D.To tell the importance of being children's friend.

4.What should be done before using a tracking app according to Weigle?

A.Teach the kid how to use it. B.Check the kid's phone.

C.Tell the kid about it. D.Advise the kid to use his phone less.

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she pick up one chopstick, taking it as one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, taking them as a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.

Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.

Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”

With three generations of Ans working together, now the Ans' business makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.

When I was a child, I was shocked at the idea that my sisters could be my best friends. Now, I wouldn’t have it any other way. At the time, the idea of my two sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. We fought all the time over toys, food, attention, what to watch on television—you name it, and we quarreled about it at some point. How could my sisters be my best friends? They weren’t the same age as I. We all had our own friends in school.

My mother never let the three of us forget that sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish like most parents’ was to give us something that she never had. Growing up as an only child, she longed for (渴望) siblings. When she gave birth to three daughters, the fulfillment (实现) of her dream had only just begun. She had given each of us a gift and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted. She would frequently tell us how lucky we were. But there were other, more subtle (难以察觉的) ways that she encouraged us to grow closer. She never showed favoritism to one daughter over the other, as not to cause jealousy or bitterness between sisters. She constantly took us places together—skating, shopping and swimming, so that we developed common interests. And when we were teenagers, Mom always punished us equally, giving us yet another bonding (密切相连) experience.

We didn’t always get along beautifully and fought just like any other siblings. But somewhere in between Mom’s lectures, the family vacations and the shared memories, we realized that our mother was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I do with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together, side by side, even holding hands when we crossed the finish line. When my sister Karen got married, I was her maid of honor(伴娘). Cindy and I traveled through Europe together and even shared an apartment for two years. The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets.

It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn’t have to. She already knows.

1.As a child, the author was shocked at her mother’s idea because ________.

A. her sisters seemed strange to her

B. her sisters didn’t like to be her friends

C. none of the girls had their own friends

D. they didn’t have much in common

2.The underlined word “siblings” in the passage probably means _________.

A. sisters    B. parents    C. daughters    D. friends

3.How did the author’s mother encourage her three daughters to grow closer？

A. She punished her daughter differently.

B. She showed equal love to her daughters.

C. She encouraged her daughters to do sports.

D. She often took her daughters to many places.

4.The best title of the passage could be ________.

A. The Greatest Gift        B. Mother’s Love

C. Growing Experiences    　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Unforgettable Memories
