         It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. "Where are you going?"
    "Places." "When will you be back?" "Sometime." "Who will you be with?" "People."
         That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over.
    They are breaking away from you so that they'll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.
         Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children's closeness. Of course you miss those conversations
    and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a
    young adult, they'll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who
    they are right now they need to separate from you.
         Your job, however, is to keep them safe-and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with.
    Let them know clearly that it's not because you want to dominate their life and control them; it's because it's
    a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
         When they're home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about
    your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈), discuss
    a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of
    your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in of theirs.
    1. The underlined word "That" in Paragraph 2 probably refers to "_____".
    [     ]
    A. teens no longer tell parents their detailed information
    B. teens don't tell parents where they had been any more

    　　For years I wanted a flower garden．I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together．

    　　But then we had Matthew．And Marvin．And the twins, Alisa and Alan．And then Helen．Five children．I was too busy raising them to grow a garden．

    　　Money was tight, as well as time．Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say, “Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know．”

    　　Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own．I started thinking again about having a garden．I wasn't sure, though．I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean, no-frills budget．

    　　Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen．Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by．I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard．I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches．Then I put my glasses on - and I couldn't believe what I saw．There was a money tree in my yard!

    　　I went outside to look．It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree．Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached：“I still do something for you．Love, Marvin．”

    　　Marvin kept his promise, too．He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me．And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis(棚架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books．

    　　That was three years ago．My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted．When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did．It feels like they're right there with me．

    　　I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short．But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers I'll see next spring in my little garden．I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes - every time．

    　　I'm still not sure that money grows on trees．But I know love does!
