It’s not easy being a teenager — nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.
    Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll refuse to talk. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy. Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.
    Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least all equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation. Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
23. What is the main purpose of the passage?

25. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the passage?

选项 A、Paying for his own one.
B、Sharing it with friends.
C、Answering it quickly.
D、Using it in a sensible way.

答案 D

解析 短文中提到打电话的例子,说明了具体做法:talk for 15 minutes,must stay off,后面提到这样做的目的…not only…but teaches…teenager moderation(……不仅……而且教青少年学会节制),由此可知,父母应该教青少年在使用电话时学会节制,也就是合理利用电话,故答案为D)。not only…but(also)…后面的内容为常考点,是听音重点。
