Then again, teenagers have1feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common2between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over3rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the4. On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for5the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different6to these problems. However, some approaches are more7than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but8clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s9. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the10of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to11their actions.Psychologists say that12is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should13to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may14their children when they areuntidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and15each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.1. A. natural B. strong C. guilty D. similar2. A. interest B. argument C. link D. knowledge3.
