If you want to teach your children how to say sorry,you must be good at saying it yourself,especially to your own children.But how you say it can be quite tricky.
If you say to your children"I'm sorry I got angry with you,but…”what follows that"but"can render the apology ineffective:"I had a bad day"or"your noise was giving me a headache"leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say"I'm sorry you're upset";this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
Then there is the general,all-covering apology,which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting,and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again.Saying"I'm useless as a parent"does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness.Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength,and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.
But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition,children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does,and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology.A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children's expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable,but that borrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not.

If a mother adds"but"to an apology,_________.
A:she doesn't feel that she should have apologized
B:she does not realize that the child has been hurt
C:the child may find the apology easier to accept
D:the child may feel that he owes her an apology

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them.They have always complained,more or less justly,that their parents are out of touch with modern ways;that they are possessive and dominant;that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis;that they talk too much about certain problems;and that they have no sense of humor,at least in parent-hild relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles,in entertainments and music.This is not their motive.They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted.So they create a culture and society of their own.Then,if it turns out that their music or entertainments or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents,this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior,at least in a small way,and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do.If they did approve,it looks as if you are betraying your own age group.But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog:you can't win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things.It is natural enough after long years of childhood,when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ig而res the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life,cooperation can be part of that plan.You can charm others,especially your parents,into doing things the way you want.You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative,so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they_________.
A:have been accepted into the adult world
B:feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults
C:are not likely to win over the adults
D:have a strong desire to be of independence

Treat Teenagers with Respect

My husband Bill and I have received comments from other parents expressing their sympathies ever since Douglas's 14th birthday,since our son is a teenager now. We've heard a lot,such as "Well,when kids become teenagers,they are awful,just do your best to go through this tough period."or"I know he's a good child,but just wait,now that he's a teenager."
I know that teenagers at times can be difficult to deal with,but I'm in my mid-thirties and I can also be tough.We are concerned about the future of our kids and want today's children to know that we do love and care them and that there are opportunities waiting for them. Nevertheless,when they just start their journey toward adulthood, we stand there expecting them to make mistakes."Just like we knew they would."We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs,yet we are not setting a positive example by showing our respect for them,and fail to treat them with consideration and kindness.
At times I have felt guilty of this behavior but I now realize that the more I see each person as a person,the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For instance,a few days ago Bill and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant to celebrate my birthday and three teenage boys entered and sat down right beside us.The first thought came into my mind,I must admit,was,"Gosh, there goes our peaceful and quiet dinner."But,the fact proved I was very wrong!The three teenagers were quiet,well behaved and even left a nice tip for the waiters.Once I looked beyond their colored hair and the loose jeans that were practically falling off,I saw what fine people these young men were.
Many parents are upset about the fact that teenagers adore sports stars and pop singers,yet they themselves,perhaps unknowingly,treat their kids with disrespect.As far as I think we really shouldn't complain unless we give them something better to go after.

What is many parents' problem with their teenage children?
A:They tend to spoil their children.
B:They don't show respect to their children.
C:They worry their children's future too much.
D:They expect their children to make mistakes.

根据下列内容，回答201-205题。
The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families．But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents，which is the opposite of the popularly—held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels．
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past．“We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families，”said one member of the research team．“They’re expected to be rebellious and selfish，but actually they have other things on their minds：they want a car and material goods，and they worry about whether school is serving them well．There’s more negotiation and discussion between parents and children，and children expect to take part in the family decision—making process．They don’t want to rock the boat．”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends．“My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me，”says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall．“I always tell them when l’m going out clubbing．As long as they know what l’m doing，they’re fine with it．”Susan Crome，who is now 21，agrees．“Looking back on the last lo years，there was a lot of what you could call negotiation．For example，as long as I’d done all my homework，I could go out on a Saturday night．But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that．”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected．It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts．A researcher comments，“0ur surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings．But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the l960s when everyone rebelled．The nor-mal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family busi-ness to taking it over．”
What is the popular image of teenagers today? __________

A.They worry about school
B.They dislike living with their parents
C.They have to be locked in to avoid troubles
D.They quarrel a lot with other family members

My husband Bill and I have received comments from other parents expressing their sympathies ever since Douglas's 14th birthday,since our son is a teenager now. We've heard a lot,such as "Well,when kids become teenagers,they are awful,just do your best to go through this tough period."or"I know he's a good child,but just wait,now that he's a teenager."
I know that teenagers at times can be difficult to deal with,but I'm in my mid-thirties and I can also be tough.We are concerned about the future of our kids and want today's children to know that we do love and care them and that there are opportunities waiting for them. Nevertheless,when they just start their journey toward adulthood, we stand there expecting them to make mistakes."Just like we knew they would."We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs,yet we are not setting a positive example by showing our respect for them,and fail to treat them with consideration and kindness.
At times I have felt guilty of this behavior but I now realize that the more I see each person as a person,the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For instance,a few days ago Bill and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant to celebrate my birthday and three teenage boys entered and sat down right beside us.The first thought came into my mind,I must admit,was,"Gosh, there goes our peaceful and quiet dinner."But,the fact proved I was very wrong!The three teenagers were quiet,well behaved and even left a nice tip for the waiters.Once I looked beyond their colored hair and the loose jeans that were practically falling off,I saw what fine people these young men were.
Many parents are upset about the fact that teenagers adore sports stars and pop singers,yet they themselves,perhaps unknowingly,treat their kids with disrespect.As far as I think we really shouldn't complain unless we give them something better to go after.

Who are responsible for the fact that pop singers and sports stars become heroes of teenagers?
A:The society.
B:Themselves.
C:Their parents.
D:All of the above.
