词汇与解析： WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS

1 be strict with: 严厉的，严格的 wwwExamdaCoM

2 house chores: 家务事，家务活

3 get along with: 进展(情况)；生活地，(友好地)与……相处

4 get in touch with 保持联系 答案解析：

这是两名学生在讨论家庭的一篇对话。这篇对话传递了三个信息。我们首先了解了Brian的家庭成员(Brian: Four My parents, my elder sister and I)；其次，了解了Brian父母亲的职业 (My father works in a computer company, and my mother is a nurse)，他的父亲在一家计算机公司工作，母亲是护士。最后，我们从对话中得知，Brian的父母亲对他要求很严格：Brian在家的时候，他得自己打扫房间，帮助父母做家务活，晚饭前必须做完家庭作业，晚上九点之前必须回家。这些具体事例有力地证明了Brian的父母对他的严格要求。

我们不难看出Brian父母的良苦用心，希望Brian学习上养成良好的习惯，生活上锻炼他自理的能力，要求他分担家务。家长培养孩子长大成材，就得从小事抓起，溺爱孩子只会使孩子娇生惯养，依赖性强，事业上无所成就。这篇对话篇幅不长，却体现了值得大家学习的一种家庭教育理念。

对话的语言口语化，流畅自然，句型表达地道，其中不乏我们可以模仿的好句子：1 Just that I miss my family terribly 只是我很想家。2 Lin: Do you get along well with your family Brian: Sure I’m lucky to live in a strict yet loving family 你和家人相处得好吗？当然，我非常幸运地生活在一个要求严格却充满爱心的家庭。

在讨论“家庭”这类话题时，我们应该尽量多掌握有关家庭的文化背景知识，家庭是社会的一个基本单位，理想的家庭会给家庭成员提供保护、安全、和沟通情感的机会。在不同的社会里，家庭结构，家庭成员的需要不尽相同。现代社会流行的家庭模式主要有以下三种：1）核心家庭，the nuclear family --- two adults and their children, 即父母亲和他们的孩子，这是一些国家流行的家庭模式。2）大家庭，an extended family, 由祖父母和其他亲戚组成的一个大家族，这种模式在一些发展中国家和农村非常盛行。3）单亲家庭，a single-parent family，孩子与离异的父亲或者母亲生活，或者是未婚母亲与子女。

我们同时还应该注意到家庭的经济状况、居住的环境会影响到孩子的综合素质及与父母亲的关系。总的来看，来自较高收入的家庭、居住在郊区的孩子与父母关系和睦；而家境贫寒、居住在城里的孩子与父母的关系比较冷漠，比较疏远
