3. get along with: 進(jìn)展(情況);生活地，(友好地)與……相處

4. get in touch with 保持聯(lián)系 答案解析：

這是兩名學(xué)生在討論家庭的一篇對話。這篇對話傳遞了三個信息。我們首先了解了Brian的家庭成員(Brian: Four. My parents, my elder sister and I.);其次，了解了Brian父母親的職業(yè) (My father works in a computer company, and my mother is a nurse.)，他的父親在一家計(jì)算機(jī)公司工作，母親是護(hù)士。最后，我們從對話中得知，Brian的父母親對他要求很嚴(yán)格：Brian在家的時候，他得自己打掃房間，幫助父母做家務(wù)活，晚飯前必須做完家庭作業(yè)，晚上九點(diǎn)之前必須回家。這些具體事例有力地證明了Brian的父母對他的嚴(yán)格要求。

我們不難看出Brian父母的良苦用心，希望Brian學(xué)習(xí)上養(yǎng)成良好的習(xí)慣，生活上鍛煉他自理的能力，要求他分擔(dān)家務(wù)。家長培養(yǎng)孩子長大成材，就得從小事抓起，溺愛孩子只會使孩子?jì)缮鷳T養(yǎng)，依賴性強(qiáng)，事業(yè)上無所成就。這篇對話篇幅不長，卻體現(xiàn)了值得大家學(xué)習(xí)的一種家庭教育理念。

對話的語言口語化，流暢自然，句型表達(dá)地道，其中不乏我們可以模仿的好句子：1. Just that I miss my family terribly. 只是我很想家。2. Lin: Do you get along well with your family? Brian: Sure. I’m lucky to live in a strict yet loving family. 你和家人相處得好嗎?當(dāng)然，我非常幸運(yùn)地生活在一個要求嚴(yán)格卻充滿愛心的家庭。

在討論“家庭”這類話題時，我們應(yīng)該盡量多掌握有關(guān)家庭的文化背景知識，家庭是社會的一個基本單位，理想的家庭會給家庭成員提供保護(hù)、安全、和溝通情感的機(jī)會。在不同的社會里，家庭結(jié)構(gòu)，家庭成員的需要不盡相同�，F(xiàn)代社會流行的家庭模式主要有以下三種：1)核心家庭，the nuclear family --- two adults and their children, 即父母親和他們的孩子，這是一些國家流行的家庭模式。2)大家庭，an extended family, 由祖父母和其他親戚組成的一個大家族，這種模式在一些發(fā)展中國家和農(nóng)村非常盛行。3)單親家庭，a single-parent family，孩子與離異的父親或者母親生活，或者是未婚母親與子女。

我們同時還應(yīng)該注意到家庭的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況、居住的環(huán)境會影響到孩子的綜合素質(zhì)及與父母親的關(guān)系�？偟膩砜�，來自較高收入的家庭、居住在郊區(qū)的孩子與父母關(guān)系和睦;而家境貧寒、居住在城里的孩子與父母的關(guān)系比較冷漠，比較疏遠(yuǎn)。

在回答托福口語的家庭問題時還可以聯(lián)系一下教育問題，談?wù)劷逃�觀念對家庭幸福的影響。
