五、读写综合（本大题分为A、B两部分，共20分）

A. 信息归纳（本题共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）

请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，完成信息卡。

“I don‟t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Li Huazhen, a middle school student in China. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children‟s eyes?

Most parents like worrying about things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry; they just care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice(选择) of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, and so on. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.

So how can you make things easier on yourself? It‟s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you‟re doing. Get them to know your friends. Call them if you stay somewhere else later than usual. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.

Most of all, try to think about your parents‟ feelings. They are still practicing being parents and need help and support from you. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you get on well with your children.

How to keep good relationship with parents

In my opinion, I have too many rules at home. My parents never allow me to go out with my friends at nights. They don‟t allow me to choose my own clothes, either. And they pay too much attention to my exam results. I think my parents don‟t quite understand me.

However, I try my best to understand them. Although they don‟t allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much pressure I know that it is because they really love me and want me to have a bright future.

In order to keep good relationship with my parents, I study hard, listen to them, talk to them as friends, tell them my troubles, and help them do more housework.
