Christmas was two days away. Had the packages with a camera in already been placed under the Christmas tree? That was the only thing that I had longed for. A million times I had kept dropping hints to my parents. Taking photos is my favorite. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom’s old camera. I’m always trying to snap(抓拍) those wonderful moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.
I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom’s room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor --- a big pink cat. My heart sank.
Mom seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. “Jenny, I got your present today. I am so excited to surprise you!” “I can’t wait,” I said.
The next day I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to tell her.
“Mom, may I talk to you for a moment?”
“Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?” she asked.
And so it came ---how upset I was that I was getting a cat! 
“Jenny, that cat is for your sister Julia!” she said with a smile.
“Then what am I getting” I asked.
She just smiled. “You’ll have to wait and see.”
Next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find …
My camera! “Thank you!” I said to both Dad and Mom.
Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera --- my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile --- and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.
【小题1】The underlined phrase “fall short” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.
A.be too expensiveB.be not good enough
C.become short after fallingD.drop to the ground
【小题2】Why did Jenny’s heart sink at first?
A.Her mother refused to talk to her.B.She mistook her sister’s Christmas gift for hers.
C.Her present was not well wrapped.D.Her mother forgot to buy her any Christmas gift.
【小题3】We can learn form the passage that ________.
A.Jenny was happy to accept the pink cat
B.Jenny’s mother bought her a camera after discovering her disappointment
C.Jenny thought it was OK to have an old camera
D.Jenny’s mother knew what she wanted as a Christmas gift

   Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.

If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.

Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi” and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.

If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary. It would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表达)of information, means of communication such as a letter or a message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it's Just by writing a note.

When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.

This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.

Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, tell the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.

【小题1】In the writers view, dealing with parents is__________than with children.
A.more difficultB.easier
C.more uninterestingD.more interesting
【小题2】The main idea of the second paragraph is____________ .
A.the importance of friendship
B.to make your feeling known to others
C.the importance of communication
D.the disagreement between generations
【小题3】The example in this passage proves that____________ .
A.Sophie is very polite to her parents
B.Sophie's parents are willing to listen to her
C.explanation is the best way to solve a problem
D.communication is the solution (解决办法) to misunderstanding
【小题4】All the following statements are correct except ____________.
A.If you don’t agree with others, you'd better let them know
B.It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing
C.If you are not able to communicate, walk away
D.Communication is a two-way deal
