Question

    Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are friends. They believe that in their family it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for help.

It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a few friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking with them on the phone. This is very important in children’s growing up because friends can discuss something that is difficult to say to their family members.

But parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents don’t let their children meet their good friends. The question of“choosing friends” is an interesting one. Do you think of the following questions?

Who chooses your friends?

Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?

Do you have a good friend your parents don’t like?

【解析】

本文谈论青少年交友的问题。青少年认为他们生活中最重要的人是朋友。他们遇到问题会去找朋友寻求帮助。即使青少年独自一人待在家里，也要花很长时间和朋友们通电话，然而，有些家长担心自己的孩子。他们甚至让他们的孩子不见他们的好朋友。

1.句意：许多青少年认为他们的朋友比他们的父母更了解他们。

根据第1段第1句“Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are friends.（许多青少年认为他们生活中最重要的人是朋友。）他们认为，在他们的家庭中，兄弟姐妹之间经常发生争斗，然后他们只能去找朋友寻求帮助。”可知“许多青少年认为他们的朋友比他们的父母更了解他们。” know sb. more/better：更了解某人；故答案为more/better。

2.句意：当他们有问题时，他们会向朋友求助。

根据第1段第2句“They believe that in their family it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for help.（他们认为，在他们的家庭中，兄弟姐妹之间经常发生争斗，然后他们只能去找朋友寻求帮助。）”可知“当他们有问题时，他们会向朋友求助。”短语go to sb. for help=ask sb. for help：向某人寻求帮助；故答案为ask。

3.句意：即使青少年独自呆在家里，也要花很长时间和朋友们通电话。

根据第2段第2句“Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking with them on the phone.（即使他们没有和朋友在一起，他们通常也会花很多时间和他们通电话。）可知“即使青少年独自呆在家里，也要花很长时间和朋友们通电话。”本句是句型it takes sb. st. to do sth.，it是形式主语，真正主语是动词不定式；故填to。

4.句意：然而，一些家长担心他们的孩子。

根据上文“即使青少年独自呆在家里，也要花很长时间和朋友们通电话”和下文“一些家长担心他们的孩子。他们甚至让他们的孩子不要见他们的好朋友。”可知是转折关系，本词用逗号与主句隔开，可知填However。

5.句意：他们甚至让他们的孩子不要见他们的好朋友。

根据第3段第2句“Some parents don’t let their children meet their good friends.（有些父母不让孩子见他们的好朋友。）”可知“他们甚至让他们的孩子不要见他们的好朋友。”短语make sb. (not) do sth.：让某人不做某事；可知填meet。
