解析【小題1】C文章第一段提出，父母的態度往往會令你感到詫異，他們有時是那么友好，忽然間又會生氣地大聲嚷嚷，由此可以看出，他們的態度是那么地易變changeable。
【小題1】A 句中it is like它像什么……。
【小題1】A青少年應該培養良好的生活習慣。例如，在家脫衣后應該及時掛上。 B項leave them alone 表示“讓它們獨自留下”；C項put them up 表示“把他們穿上”；D項throw them away表示“把它們扔掉”，以上答案顯然均不符合文章意思，而A項hang them up 正是“把衣服掛上”的意思。
【小題1】C家長會給孩子買許多衣服，但他們不會經常為自己購物，那是因為他們要考慮維持家庭生計，他們往往把錢花在更重要的事情上，所以答案為C。
【小題1】B你有時會去拜訪那些無聊又年長的親戚，他們會一遍又一遍地嘮叨你小時候的乖巧可愛，而你只能洗耳恭聽（They may go on and on about what a sweet baby you were. You have no choice but to listen.）顯然，你會對此而抱怨，但家長們仍不以為然（… your parents won’t change their minds.），所以本題答案為B。
【小題1】D如果能幫助招待好你的親戚，你的家長會感到十分滿意，也會允許你出席以后的更多的這種聚會。選項A、B、C與聚會無關，應予淘汰。
【小題1】D mean意味著。根據句意可知為它意味著一年730頓。
【小題1】A每日吃飯時，應該想到家長的艱辛。當你說你并不餓時，家長不但會有內心的不快，另外會擔心你吃得過少而影響身體（Imagine how your parents feel when you say you’re not really hungry.  …, your parents are probably worried that you aren’t eating enough.）。根據文章內容，空格處應填入“除此之外”的意思，所以本題答案為A。
【小題1】C文章結尾告誡我們要少吃零食，要留出吃飯的空間（Eat fewer snacks and leave room for your meals.）。
【小題1】D飯后也要提出幫助父母做些事情，盡管有時不會得到他們的許可。從四個選項中，我們可以看到D項符合飯后可做的事，A項do the  cooking  表示“煮飯”，B項lay the table表示“擺餐具、飯桌”均發生在飯前，C項buy  some snacks
與上文“少吃零食”的論述矛盾，所以答案為D。
