I always feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fights between nations.When my three children were young,most days it was hard to keep my house from becoming a battlefield.
It got worse as they grew older.Three years ago,Zack,then 16,couldn’t make it through a day without making his sisters,Alex 11 and Taryn 9,angry.
My husband and I tried to be understanding the boy at such an age.We reasoned,punished,and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how he was hurting our family.His answer was “I say it because it’s true.”
I even tried telling the girls to fight back.Bad idea.Now I had three children at war.Whatever I said to them,they paid no attention.When there was no way out,I told everything to my sister in an e-mail.She replied,“Don’t e-mail me.E-mail him.”
Our son was online every day,mailing and talking with his friends.Maybe he would actually hear me this way.I didn’t say anything different,but e-mail just took the tension(紧张) away.There’d be no shouting or door banging.Zack wouldn’t feel under attack.
Zack didn’t reply for days.When he finally did,his entire message was four small words.I smiled when I read them,“You’re right.I’m sorry.”
The children still fought,of course,but Zack changed.Best of all,I now have a better way to talk with not one but three of them.I like it that they don’t tune me out as much as they used to.They like not having to listen to me shouting to them.Or as Alex says,“You’re so much nicer online.”
All I know is that the house is quiet.But we’re talking.

一开始ZACK总是喜欢惹恼妹妹们,父母用各种方法教育都不管用.ZACK很喜欢上网,作者于是尝试与儿子网上交流最后成功.儿子改变了许多,家里的孩子虽然有时还会争吵,但是气氛和平了很多.
64.B(B的意思是孩子们不能和平相处,A是作者不能理解女儿们,C是这家人发现很难保持家里干净整洁,D是家长不想跟孩子沟通.所以B为正解)
65.D(第四段第一句)
66.A(文中说”我把一切告诉了我sister,也就是第四段最后“i told everything to my sister in an e-mail.”)
67.C(tune me out这里指“不搭理我”也就是不放任何注意力在我的话上-pay no attention to me)
