试题分析：本文主要讲述营造一个快乐家庭的几点建议，主要是与父母和谐沟通并帮父母减轻负担。 【小题1】从第二段可看出此段内容列举了两个“when”及一个“sometimes”，讲了父母看待你的穿衣风格及朋友圈的态度与你自己的想法格格不入。这些说明了有时父母对你并不是公平的，因为他们没有站在你的角度思考这些，故选G。 【小题2】从第三段可知Jay McGraw写那本书是教人们如何缓解与父母之间的关系，然后里面讲了一个例子说换一种方式去理解父母对你的用意，故选F。 【小题3】从第三段中“You should tell your parents your needs, and find out what their needs are.”可知父母与孩子之间都应知道他们自己所需要的，故前面的空选C。 【小题4】此空后面提到“You could talk about your school life and your plans for the future.”其中心词为“talk”,那么与此相呼应的选项为A，找时间与父母谈谈，故选A。 【小题5】此空前提到“Show your parents you are growing up.”那么后面相应的内容应是如何向父母证明自己长大了，七个选项中只有D项符合，通过做家务事来减轻父母的负担，故选D。 考点:考查说明文阅读
