• 10．阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。
      Pranks （恶作剧） are a popular way of making fun of others and getting a laugh.While some experts point out potential negatives，pranking can also decrease stress，raise a smile，and strengthen relationships.
      Prank Aliens，a best-selling book，tells a story about a boy named Max who is searching for the greatest prank of all time.His author Matt Stanton once said that pranking in the home can build strong relationships between parents and kids.
      "Some of the best relationship-building moments I have with my own kids are when I enter into their space，" Stanton said. "An adult joining in their games can be surprising for kids and bring wonderful moments of joy.It's a great way to demonstrate to our kids that we can laugh at ourselves and still feel loved and safe，" he added.
      But playing tricks can come with unintended consequences，said psychiatrist Mark Cross.Pranks that are intended to harm or embarrass can anger the target and even ruin a relationship.However，Cross also added "Pranking can be good when the outcome is laughter for everyone，including the pranked person.It can be a great release of stress.When you laugh，you breathe deeper，which helps ease anxiety."
      So why not try some pranks？Wrapping vegetables and shoes up as presents for kids on their birthdays always gets a great reaction.Putting plastic spiders in guests' drinks or placing a whoopee cushion on an unsuspecting person's chair is sure to cause a belly laugh.All these might just be good for you and everyone involved.
  
  （1）What are the benefits of pranking？ （不多于10个词）

  
  （2）What are the best moments for Stanton to build relationship with his children？ （不多于7个词）

  
  （3）When can pranks anger the target or even ruin a relationship？ （不多于10个词）

  
  （4）In addition to pranking，what other ways can you use to strengthen relationships with family members？ （40词左右）
