Growing Pains was on television form 1985 to 1992 in America. This was a total of sevenyears, and it told over one hundred and sixty different stories.

The program was about a family of six who lived on Long Island, near New York City.【1】The father was a doctor and the mother was a writer at a newspaper. They had four children. The oldest child was Mike.【2】He did really well in the program.

From the start of Growing Pains, Mike was always getting into trouble. He was caught by the police for driving a car too fast. He promised his parents that he would never ride a motorcycle, but then he hurt himself riding one. However, in the last year of the program, he helped a young boy who had no home, and asked his family to help him care for and support the boy, Though his parents were upset because he often broke his promises, the way he cared for this boy made them proud to have him as their son.【3】He sometimes did wrong things, but also cared for others and was a warm person.

Perhaps another reason why the program was popular in America is that most of its stories were about normal family problems.【4】Like Mike's parents, many parents who work often worry about their children and have difficult decisions to make about them. Even now the show still appears on American TV.

A.Many of the people watching the program had the same problems

B.As teenagers grow, it is normal for them to become confused with the changing world inside and outside of them

【解析】

文章大意：本文讲述了《成长的烦恼》这部电视剧的情况，包括播出时间，主要内容以及给美国家庭带来的影响等等。

【1】通过下一句The father was a doctor and the mother was a writer at a newspaper.父亲是一名医生，母亲是报社的作家，可知这里填The parents were a working couple.父母是一对工作的夫妇。这样就跟下文很好的衔接上了。故选E。

【2】根据空前后的句子The oldest child was Mike.和 He did really well in the program.这两句都是描述Mike,所以空上句子也是跟Mike有关，选项C. He was the main reason for the program's huge success这个电视剧成功的主要原因能跟前后句很好的衔接起来，故选C。

【3】此空前面内容描述了Mike不遵守承诺的事例和关心他人的事例。空后He sometimes did wrong things, but also cared for others and was a warm person.他有时候做错事，但是也关心他人，是一个热心人。这些都是Mike品质的两面性的描述，所以选D。

【4】根据空前Perhaps another reason why the program was popular in America is that most of its stories were about normal family problems.可知这部电视剧受欢迎的另一个原因是它描述了一些共同的家庭问题，所以后一句应该是Many of the people watching the program had the same problems.看电视剧的很多人有着同样的问题，跟下一句Like Mike's parents…也很好地做了衔接，故选A。

还原型阅读思路其实很简单，空上所填句子要要么做到“承上”，要么“启下”，要么“承上启下”，所以解题关键是仔细分析空前后的句子。比如第2小题，空前后内容都是描述Mike的，所以空上内容也跟Mike相关，然后对比选项就不难选出答案了。
