Skyline Dear Skyline, As we grow up, our interests change a lot. As a teenager, it may just be that your mom and you don’t share the same interests right now. It’s normal for the relationship between teenagers and their parents to become distant for a short while. If you don’t think your mom understands you or your interests, why not try to get involved in some of hers? If she has a hobby, try to join in with it. For example, if she’s a good cook, ask her to teach you some recipes. If she likes running, go for a run with her. Likewise（同样地）, try to get her involved in the things that you do often. Invite her to go to the movies or to coffee together, or ask her to help you study some time. Another great way to get to know your mom better is to ask her about her childhood. My mother has lots of great tales about being a teenager in the 1960s, and hearing her share them and laughing at her funny memories always brings us closer together. Ask your mom about her life as a teenager too I bet she’d love to share her stories There could be many reasons that your mom might seem too busy to do things with you. She could just be tired from a long day of work, or she may have a problem of her own that’s affecting how she acts toward others. Whatever happens, don’t worry. She loves you and always will. And hopefully one day soon, you will both understand each other perfectly. 4. What is Skyline’s problem? A. She doesn’t live close to her mom. B. She doesn’t share things with her mom. C.

Why does Dale advise Skyline to ask her mom about her childhood? A. To encourage her mom to talk to her. B. To give her mom time to think of the past. C. To help her know more about her mom. D.
