It's not easy being a teenager- nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. If your teen has you puzzled and upset, or even refuses to talk to you. the following offers a practical approach to giving your child the space he needs to grow while gently making him know that you'll be still there for him when he needs you.

Offer your help always, but your advice only when asked. If your child is unwilling to discuss a particular topic, don't force him to tell you what's in his mind. Let him attempt to solve things by himself - a sure sign to him that you support his growing independence and the greatest way for him to build self-respect.

Don't invade your teenager's space. Show the same respect for his privacy (隐私)that you would show for any adult relatives. Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations. And do avoid going into his room to tidy up when he's not at home. Remember a teenager is old enough to maintain his own room.

Mirror only positive (积极的) feelings about physical appearance. Most teenagers are oversensitive about how they look. Although they may be highly critical (批评的) about the way others look or dress, they are often unable to handle such criticism directed toward them. Self-image is very important to teenagers, so keep a cool head about fashions your teen chooses to wear. You should look for ways to support and strengthen any positive comments your child makes about himself.

It may seem like a simple step, but talking to your teen about the risks of drugs (毒品) may help keep your teen drug-free. In fact, teens who learn about the dangers of drugs from their parents are less likely to (可能) try drugs than those who learn nothing at home.

Try to open up the lines of communication with your teen.

You have waited 45 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes* break between classes. But when the bell for the next class rings, you can't believe how 　　85　 time has passed.

If you are familiar with this scene, you'll know how time flies when you are having fun. Now scientists have thought over a reason why this is the case.

Scans(扫描仪)have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 　　86　　 according to how we focus on (专心于) a task. When we feel 　　87　　 we concentrate(专心于) more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.

In an experiment carried out by a French laboratory. 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity.

The volunteers were told to first concentrate on 　　88　　 an image appeared for, then focus on the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration(持续时间) and color. The results showed that 　　89　　 was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.

It is thought that if the brain is focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays 　90　 attention to the clock. Therefore, time passes without us really noticing it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its 　　91　　 energies on monitoring the passing of time. As a result, time seems to drag.

Next time you feel bored in class, perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying!

85. A) slowly　　　　　　　　　　 B) quickly　　　　　　 C) terribly　　　　　　　 D) foolishly

86. A) change　　　　　　　　　　 B) develop　　　　　 C) grow　　　　　　　　 D) stop

89. A) the time　　　　　　　　　　 B) the experiment　　　 C) the clock　　　 　　　　D) the brain

90. A) no　　　　　　　　　　　　 B) more　　　　　　　 C) some　　　　　　　　 D) less

91. A) enough　　　　　　　　　　 B) full　　　　　　　　 C) right　　　　　　　　 D) proper
