二、阅读理解
Many school children complain that their parents don’t understand them. So do their parents. It seems that communication between parents and children is a big problem. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents won’t think of your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values(价值观). The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a happier person. It’s worth having a try!

信息匹配。阅读下面六种解决孩子与父母之间问题的方法,为五个人选出合适他们的方法,并将其标号填入题前括号内。
A. Spend time together
Instead of playing computer games or watching TV alone, you can ask your parents to play with you. For example, try a family game or go outside for a walk together.
B. Do some housework today
Little things might mean a lot to your parents. Your parents will feel warm and happy if you do some housework without being asked.
C. Show that you care
Some families are always hugging and saying“I love you”. If your family is not, you can show your love to your parents by doing that.
D. Share your hobbies with your parents
Don’t enjoy your hobbies alone. Share your hobbies with your parents. Then you may find your parents have the same interest as you.
E. Send small presents to your parents
Your parents don’t need big or expensive presents. Sending a small present is enough. The most important thing is to show your love to them.
F. Set a special day within your family
Life will always be boring or full of trifles (琐事) if you never set a special day with your parents. It can be a day worth celebrating and you can do something different.
