(2019·南京、盐城、连云港模拟)What I have learned with my three teens is this: when they are testing me and pushing the limits in a way that feels more aggressive than normal teenage behavior, this is when they need some extra love and __1__. When our kids are young and aren't able to __2__ how they are feeling, they typically behave in a way that makes it obvious that they are sad, __3__， or not feeling like themselves. We parents try __4__ to help them feel better, whatever it __5__. We won't __6__ even though we can't quite understand.
As they get __7__ and are able to talk and communicate, I think we raise our expectations a little bit too __8__ — I've realized although they can talk and communicate and let us __9__ whether something is wrong, it doesn't mean they will.
Not because they don't always want to, __10__ teenagers seem to think they can __11__ it on their own; they think their __12__ won't understand, or they are too embarrassed to come to us with their __13__ or talk about certain situations. But I've also had to realize when my teens are disrespectful, they might not know how to __14__ themselves. Even as a 43-year-old woman I still __15__ with finding the words or putting a name to my feelings. I mean my teens need me to __16__ them to tell me what's wrong. Teens, like all of us are looking for bonding, so make sure we are __17__ time with them. This has to be face to face. If connecting with your teen by text messages feels easier, then start there, but don't __18__ there. Put down your __19__ and look at your teen in the eyes to communicate too, and __20__ will take you and your teen's relationship to another level. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。孩子小的时候，他们不能向父母表达自己的感受，就会通过明显的方式来表达自己的难过或不舒服；当他们长大时，他们又不愿意表达自己的感受；因此，父母要关注孩子的成长，及时有效地和孩子沟通。 1．A.complaint
