Question

將下列各段按照正確的順序重新排序，使文章通順。

A． Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them.

B． Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” Said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

C．And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.

D．Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me,”said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”

E. Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.

小題3:B
小題4:A
小題5:C

試題分析：通讀五個句群可知，本文主要介紹父母和孩子之間關系的微妙變化。父母一直認為孩子和他們是最近的，都會無話不談，然而事實并非如此，Joanna 和 Henry發現這個問題，因此根據各個句群的含義E應是第一部分，緊接著緹娜和馬克也有類似的問題出現，故D為第二部分。根據D部分的最后一句話The problem is figuring out which time is which.”可知我們要找出孩子發生變化的年齡階段，故選擇項B為第三部分。描述了孩子們在十歲以前把父母作為傾吐對象的第一候選人；十歲以后把朋友和老師放在了父母的前面。緊接著講述了父母怎樣解決這個難題，父母采取的策略和方法，故A和C為第四和第五部分。
