Unit 2 Understanding each other Period 1 Welcome to the unit & Reading(1) Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。 Don't teenagers hate being treated like children Shouldn't we accept that they are growing up Yes, of course, they are growing up and may want to change things about their habits or activities, but parents trying to be “supportive” and encourage these changes often do more harm than good.① For example, you and the rest of your family are heading up to the mall for hours. Your teenage daughter Laura has shown resistance to being seen with you in public recently, so you decide not to persuade her to come with you.② This seems like a very respectful thing to do that takes into account her feelings and opinions, but when you return she is upset. What went wrong Well, many things could have gone wrong while you were away. She could have been caught up in friend drama or some other kinds of drama. Or she could be feeling hurt. Maybe she really didn't want to go to the mall with you, but maybe you should have at least talked with her about it. Even knowing that you wanted to spend time around her would probably have made her feel good.③ Some people say that it is unreasonable for parents to be “enabling” their kids to demand constant attention and validation(确认). I say, spending 30 extra seconds to make sure your children know you care about them is only “enabling” them to have a part of the self worth they are so lacking at this time in their lives.④ Expecting them to be removed and emotionally distant from you only reinforces the idea that they should be.⑤ Always give them the choice to be an independent teen or your baby girl. When they need a break from the high school soap opera, you will both be glad you didn't close that door. 一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 ( ) 1.
