What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect

As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(过渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits (特征) are not yet accepted as a way of life. 【1】 By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.

Contribute to the household

At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up. 【2】 All chores (零星工作) that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that you’re old enough and capable, why shouldn’t you contribute to the household? 【3】

Be responsible

【4】 Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework , or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.

Solve more of your own problem without asking for help

Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. 【5】 Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is usually a good guideline. When you become a good problem solver, you increase your value to the community.

B. It will make your life more pleasant.

D. This includes, but is not limited to, your dishes and your room.

【2】D

【3】C

【4】A

【5】F

【解析】

试题分析：本篇文章是关于青少年要如何赢得别人尊敬和信任的几点建议。首先要学会在家里帮忙做家务，即使从最简单的洗碗叠被做起。其次，要学会负责任，哪怕是自己个人卫生也要做好。最后，要学会独立解决问题。当这些都做好的时候，人们对你的信任也就随之而来了。

【1】E 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：某些礼仪也经常被遗忘，其他成人的特征还没有作为一种生活方式被接受；空后的意思是：通过做下面的这些，你将会得到别人的尊重。所以这里选E（意识到这些礼仪和特征，你会很快将它们处理好。）串联上下文。

【2】D 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：如果你弄的一团糟，你就收拾；空后一句的意思是：你做的所有的零星的工作都将会有助于减少负担。所以这里选D（这包括在内，但不能局限在收拾自己碗筷和房间上。）串联上下文。

【3】C 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：如果你足够大了，有能力了，为什么不帮忙做些家务呢。所以这里选C（如果你帮忙做家务，那么平时做这种家务的人会很感激。）承接上文。

【4】A 考查对上下文语境的理解。本段标题的意思是“要有责任心”；空后的意思是：“或者是一些基本的事情，例如刷牙，做作业”。所以这里选A（每个人都有某些责任。）与上下文一致。

【5】F 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：简单只是对你来说是简单的，但是对于你寻求帮助的人来说是一项任务。空后的意思是：这要取决于问题，十五分钟的努力通常是一个很好的准则。所以这里选F（不要轻易向人求助，要在自己努力而未果的情况下去找人帮忙。）串联上下文。
