四、任务型阅读 （本题共5小题；每小题1分，计5分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容补全表格中所缺的信息。（每空一词）
Nearly every parent says that we never grow up．In fact, we are maybe 13 or 14 years old．In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things．For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them．
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world．They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, expensive school things, and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike．They think that they have done everything they can for their dear children．In return, they only want their children to work hard and do well in the examinations．
But why their children still can’t understand them? Does it mean that they still want more material things? No．As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family．What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world．From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation（安慰）, and we can get happiness．And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family．
So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their child to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents can understand each other better and better．Then, no children will be regarded as a little ones．
