Without mutual(相互的)respect, any relationship will be an unhappy one . People who respect each other: a) value each other’s opinions, b) listen to each other, and c) disagree without screams or insults（侮辱）. And remember, your parents have lived longer than you—don’t discount their experience and knowledge.
Your parents want to know what’s going on in your life. If you don’t tell them they won’t know when you need their help or whether they can trust you. Tell them what you’re doing, share your thoughts and feelings with them, and ask for their advice for your problems( you don’t have to follow it). Communication builds closeness. Trust is your key to freedom. The way to build trust is through honesty and responsibility. Honesty means you don’t lie or manipulate(作假). Responsibility means that you are reliable(可依赖的) and make good choices to use good judgment. When your parents trust you, it’s a lot easier for them to say “Yes.”
These guidelines(指导方针) work both ways. If sometimes, your parents break any of these guidelines, talk to them about it. Pick a time when you are both calm and feeling good toward each other(never when you are angry). Then , explain to them what they did, how it makes you feel, and what you’d like them to do instead.
Unfortunately, these guidelines don’t always work. Since we can only control what we do, and not what our parents do, sometimes we just cannot change a bad relationship. If this is the case, try to use these guidelines to at least improve things a little, and talk with a trusted adult who may be able to help you

(答案→)A
解析：处理好和父母的关系与处理好和别人的关系一样，关键在于要尊重别人，尊重别人的观点，倾听别人的意见，即使不同意的时候也不要大声尖叫。在和父母进行沟通时如果也能做到这些将有很大的好处。在本文中作者就如何和父母保持良好的关系提出了一些意见和建议。
【小题1】A词义猜测题。根据破折号前的句子your parents have lived longer than you，可以推断后面的句子是对前面句子的补充说明，所以A选项正确。
【小题2】D主旨大意题。作者在文章第二段告诫人们要告诉父母你的生活情况，你的想法以及你的感受等等，所以这些都是在强调要孩子和父母多沟通交流，以获得他们的理解和支持，由此判断D选项正确。
【小题3】B推理判断题。作者在文中提出了一些关于孩子如何和父母进行交流沟通的建议，由此判断作者应该是教育方面的专家，故B选项正确。
【小题4】B主旨大意题。文章开门见山提出如何去尊重别人，由此引出不要不重视父母的经验和知识，然后在下文讲述如何和父母处理好关系，所以文章中心内容应该是谈论如何和父母保持良好的关系，答案选B。
