　　It was a January evening on our farm in rural Saskatchewan（萨斯喀彻温省）．Snow banks piled high 　　1　　 the door of the house, faintly（朦胧地, 模糊地）glowing in the moonlight．It's time to bed my nine-year-old son, Ryan．He was just 　　2　　 to himself as I stepped into his room,“I hope I can have my own 　　3　　．”And almost for two months, he kept 　　4　　 the same words．

　　　　5　　 most boys in Canada, Ryan liked to play Rocky, but the 　　6　　 rink was 24 miles away．There was no way he could play on this farm．I didn't 　　7　　 him for wanting an ice rink（溜冰场）of his own, but I worried his heart would be broken as his hope failed him 　　8　　 Ice rinks don't just appear out of thin air．

　　What could we do?“Our well doesn't have enough water to make rink．”my husband, Ken told me, shaking his head 　　9　　．“Besides, we don't have the 　　10　　 to build one．”So like Ryan, I could 　　11　　 hope the legend would happen．Please don't 　　12　　 him．

　　A few weeks went by and Ryan continued dreaming the day would draw in．　　13　　, the weather warmed up, unusual for that time of year．We enjoyed spending time 　　14　　, making snowman．But gradually the snow banks melted and flooded our yard．I looked outside．one day to find our garden had 　　15　　 a muddy pool．

　　For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner．Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent－teen war is about boundaries：where is the line between what I control and what you do?

　　Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict．In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it．From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness．And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely．Both feel trapped．

　　In this article, I'll describe three no－win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap．The first no－win situation is quarrels over unimportant things．Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends．Second, blaming．The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong．Third, needing to be right．It doesn't matter what the topic is –politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg－the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority－someone who actually knows something－and therefore to command respect．Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress．
