She decided to discuss ________ with her parents during TV time after dinner. "It's usually the most relaxing time for our family," said Chen.

So do you have anything to talk to your parents? Choose a good time.
【答案】 to get；so；it；chose；finally；kids；the；second；Chinese；of
【解析】【分析】本文介绍了青少年和父母交流的问题，对大多数青少年来说，与父母交谈可能很困难，甚至令人担忧。所以他们必须选择正确的时间。
（1）句意：她常常每周回到在慈溪的家为了从父母那里取钱。此处是不定式做目的状语，为了，故填to get。
（2）句意：陈希望她的父母可以把钱打到银行卡上，这样她不用经常回家了。根据put the money on a bank card和she didn't have to travel so often可知，把钱打到银行卡上的结果是这样她不用经常回家了，故此处是连词表示结果，so是连词，故填so。
（3）句意：她决定晚饭后看电视时和她的父母讨论这件事。discuss后缺少宾语，it指代把钱打到银行卡上这件事，故用it指代一件事，故填it。
（4）句意：她选择了正确时间。此处缺少谓语动词，根据下文choose mealtime to talk to their parents选择用餐时间和父母交谈，可知是选择时机，choose是动词，描述过去用一般过去时，choose的过去式是chose，故填chose。
（5）句意：在几次游说下，她的父母终于同意了陈的意见。副词修饰动词agreed，finally，终于，是副词，故填finally。
（6）句意：美国杂志最近重点调查了该国15216名6-12岁的儿童。基数词1521后是名词复数，故填kids。
（7）句意：当你想和你的父母谈论重要的事情，最佳时间是什么时候？best是最高级，故此处缺少定冠词the，故填the。
（8）句意：睡觉时间是其次。根据followed by time接着是时间，可知此处表示顺序，故用序数词，two是基数词，second是序数词，第二，故填second。
（9）句意：中国青少年似乎也有类似的处理问题的倾向。teenagers是名词其前是形容词，China是名词，中国，Chinese是形容词，中国的，故填Chinese。
（10）句意：浙江的一份报纸，做了一个调查。a survey of，固定搭配，……的调查，故填of。
【点评】考查语法填空，注意谓语的时态，词性，连词搭配等多种用法。

（3）句意：但现在我们使用沙子的速度比它形成的速度要快。根据副词修饰动词可知，此处应用形容词quick的副词形式quickly修饰动词use“使用”。故答案为：quickly。
