Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers.__1__ According to a recent research, the most common argument between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks.__2__ On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for dropping the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room.
The research, conducted by St.George University, shows that different parents have different approaches to these problems.__3__ For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but later clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children's behavior.On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the thrills of their actions can do better.__4__ Parents should talk to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say.__5__ It is only by listening to and understanding each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.

文章大意:这篇短文告诉我们:由于科学和工业的发展,美国的家庭生活发生了很大变化。作者对过去和现在美国家庭的变化做了对比,并且设想到美国未来家庭生活的改变。
1.development 句意:因为科学和工业的发展。the修饰名词故填development。 2.had 句意:在过去,更多的美国人,依靠农场生活,典型的家庭有很多孩子。In the past所在的句子用过去时,故填had。
3.with 句意:在农场家庭中,父母和他们的孩子们经常和他们的祖父母生活在一起。with sb和某人在一起。故填介词with。
4.But 根据空格前描述的家庭人员住在一起的很多,家庭比较大。空格后在美国生活中当工业比农业更加重要的时候,家庭人员在一起的比较少,家庭比较小。因此空前后表示转折,故填But。
5.because 家庭变得比较小,因为工业需要工人。空格前后表示因果关系,故填because。 6.who/that 句意:因为工业需要能够离开土地,必要时能够再次移动的工人。先行词workers,引导词可以是that也可以是who来引导定语从句。
7.easily 句意:并且大家庭不像小家庭那样能从一个地方很容易地搬到另一个地方。move是实义动词,故用副词修饰,故填easily。
8.be required 句意:未来由于工业化,家庭将需要更频繁地移动,并且甚至会更小。 9.the at the same time 在同时。same在应用时前面一定加the。
10.leaving 句意:同时他们也可能养育其他人的孩子,把那些家庭自由地从一个地方
搬到另一个地方。leaving 引导的现在分词短语作伴随状语。此时leave动作的发出者跟主句的主语they一样。
