Why do parents have such a difficult time to communicate openly and honestly with their teens？For this，there are many reasons but most of them come from not being able to properly un-derstand their teens.It is a dangerous gap be-cause parents will have to communicate with their teens about a wide variety of issues during the most important years of their lives.Thus，parents must know how to communicate openly and hon-estly with their teens.

Here are a few tips to make communication easier between parents and teenagers.

1.Try not to talk down to your teens.Make them feel as if their views really matter，which not only helps your discussions with your teen but also brings you closer to him.

As you grow older，you'll be faced with some challenging decisions-like whether to cut class or try cigarettes.Making decisions on your own is hard enough，but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another，it can be even harder.People who are in your age，like your classmates，are called peers.When they try to influence how you act，to get you to do some-thing，it's called peer pressure.

Peers can have a positive influence on each other.Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system.Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book，and now everyone's reading it.These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.

Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example，a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them；your soccer friend might try to convince（使確信）you to be mean（惡意的）to another player and never pass him the ball.

It is hard to be the only one who says"no"to peer pressure，but you can do it.Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.

You've probably had a parent or teacher ad-vising you to"choose your friends wisely".Peerpressure is a big reason why they say this.If you choose friends who don't cut class，smoke ciga-rettes，or lie to their parents， then you probably won't do these things either，even if other kids do.

If you continue to face peer pressure and you're finding it difficult to handle，talk to some-one you trust.Don't feel guilty if you've made a mistake or two.

B.Parents.

What are you going to do if you are in a burn-ing house？How will you escape？Do you know how to save yourself？Please read the following passage.

Escaping from a fire is a serious matter.Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life.It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family，such as stairways and fire escapes，but not lifts.

From the lower floors of the buildings，escap-ing through windows is possible.Learn the best way of leaving through windows with the least chance of serious injury.

The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground.An average（普通的）per-son，hanging by the finger-tips（手指尖）will have a drop of about six feet to the ground.It is about the height of an average man.Of course，it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a bum-ing building.

Windows are also useful when you are wait-ing for help.Be sure to keep the door closed.Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room.Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked（泄露）into the room.

On a second or third floor，the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof.From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely.Dropping onto hard ground might end in in-jury.Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
