to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.”

Morning and night，Mother Bird is there
Until her baby’s old enough to leave the nest.
Mother Bird, with all her love and care,
Longs to provide her baby with the best.
Often, she worries, from day to day-
Very soon her baby will be full-grown.
Excitedly, it will jump away,
Spread its wings and fly alone.
Yet, she knows, she must let it fly
Over the hills and across the sky,
Under her careful, watching eye.
She has _______ feelings about her baby:
◆ On (the) one hand, she is very __________(protect) of her baby. She is worried about its flying away by itself.
◆ On the other (hand), she understands that when her baby has grown up she will have to give it more f__________. However, she will always be there for her baby.

To well reward the loving mother’s heart

Why are family members called “strangers” by the author
Although family members are thought to be close, they may have different opinions on the same matter. Without honest and peaceful communication, conversations will easily turn into heated arguments and cold silences as if family members didn't know or care about each other, just like "strangers" By creating such a contrast, the author intends to arouse our interest to read the article.
Structure
Teenagers' physical growth may result in such family tensions.
Teenagers' developing mental needs can also influence parent-child relationships.
Teenagers should have regular and honest
communication with their parents.
Everything will turn out all right in the end.
Does every dinner with your parents seem to turn into a battle Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything You are not alone. Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents. (Para 1)

Teenagers’ physical changes may result in such family tensions. You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate to your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots. When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first targets of your anger. (Para 2)

Dear Editor,
I am writing to ask for advice on my relationship with my teenage son. To tell the truth, I often struggle to get along with him. Recently we have argued with each other a great deal. He is anxious about his skin because it has started to become very oily, with lots of red spots. He is always angry these days and seems less confident. I keep telling him that these changes are normal, and that things will turn out just fine. Of course, I wanted to show my concern for his condition, so I asked him to see a doctor. But then he became angry and we had a big argument. He told me that I was putting even more stress on him by talking about his spots all the time. In the end, I sent him to his room. He finally calmed down but it took some time. The whole experience was really terrible and I do not want to go through the same thing again. What should I do
Best wishes,
Mrs. Zhao
