Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In families, it is quite often brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members. However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

点评：做标题归纳题时还要遵循三个原则，即注意题的醒目性、概括性和针对性。醒目性——我们所判断的标题如果放在文章的最前面，应该能使读者一看到标题就对其内容发生兴趣，即，吸引读者的眼球；概括性——指标题应最大限度地覆盖全文，囊括文章的主要内容，体现文章的主题；针对性——我们所选的标题不能偏题，必须指向具体文意，因此也应具备强烈的针对性。
