[单元话题导入]
The main problem in family is the communication difficulty between parents and children，or“generation gap①”．According to a survey②，more than 50% of the teenagers prefer to tell their friends their problems，but not their parents.Why Because they don't think their parents can understand their problems.
That makes it meaningless③ to have a discussion with their parents.For example，teenagers are in favor of④ Hip Hop nowadays while their parents treat it as a kind of damage to the art.Parents are fond of Beijing Opera while children can't see the amazing point at all.Then how can they share the topic of Hip Hop or Beijing Opera
Having been raised⑤ by parents for more than 15 years，teenagers seem to be tired of⑥ comfortable life，especially boys.They think they have had the ability to go their own way without the help of their parents.
Teenagers try their best to be less affected⑦ by their parents.If there is something that is hard to deal with⑧，they turn to their friends or teachers.Some even ask for advice from⑨ online friends whom they've never met.They talk little with their parents，spend less time with them and refuse to ask for their parents' help.
What about parents？They don't want their children to be hurt，even only a little bit.Therefore，they are against⑩ anything that they think will be dangerous for their children.Although they clearly realize that independence is good for teenagers in some fields，they'd like to protect them as much as possible.

在同一屋檐下的陌生人？
每天的家庭晚餐幻化成激烈战斗？热情开朗的谈话蜕变成冷淡警惕？无论什么事情都夏虫语冰？其实大家都一样。青少年和父母之间，无论是激烈争论，还是冷面以对，都并不少见。
这种家庭紧张气氛有可能是由青少年的身体变化引发的。你可能因为发育速度和朋友不同而焦虑不安，比方个子蹿得太快或比别人矮半个头；你也可能因变声情况，体重问题或者长了雀斑而担心不已。如果此类变化经历太多，父母往往就成为你倾泻怒火的首要人选。
在发育过程中，如何平衡你的精神需求也会让你头痛不已。你进入了奇怪的进退维谷状态——你已经不是小孩了，却又还不是大人。你既渴望独立，又需要父母的关爱支持。你觉得自己已经准备好担负起更多责任、做出自我决定。可惜你的父母并不完全这么想，所以你感到相当郁闷。“为什么他们就不能放手呢？”另一方面，当你努力想控制自己的情感时，你希望他们能更加体贴，更有耐心——有时候他们忘记了成长是一个艰难的过程。 父母把你当孩子看，却又期待你处事像个大人。所以你们的关系产生了裂痕。
尽管有时候你觉得再无法与父母亲如家人，但是可以采取行动来改善这种状况。和平相处的关键是要定期进行开诚布公的沟通。和父母意见不一的时候，不妨冷静一分钟，试着设身处地地考虑下情形。说不定他们有过前车之鉴，所以不想让你重蹈覆辙呢。等考虑周全了，你再心平气和地解释你的所思所想，同时要仔细倾听，解决他们的心中疑虑。这样的健康讨论能让你学会何时做出让步，何时要求他们放松管控。
记住，亲子关系紧张会造成压力，与这种压力作斗争是完全正常的，你和你的父母可以携手努力，改善关系。好在这场暴风骤雨不会长久。一切终将回归正常，青少年时代的变化和困苦能让你有备无患地迎接成年时代。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation，it turns into an argument.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly my mother will push the conversation into the Third World War．She'll talk about my lack of bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor.And much to her disappointment，I don't want to do any job related to science，either.In fact，when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English，she nearly had a heart attack.
“Why can't you be like my co worker's son？” she shouts all the time.Her co worker's son received a four year scholarship and is now earning 70，000 dollars a year as an engineer.I don't know what to say except that I simply can't be like Mr.Perfect as I've called the unnamed co worker's son.I can't be like him.I am the type of the person who loves to help out in the community，write until the sun goes down，and most of all，wants to achieve something because of loving it，not because of fame or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.She leaves the house around 6：30 am and usually comes back home around 5：00 pm or even 6：00 pm.
However，I want her to know that by becoming a doctor，it doesn't mean I'll be successful.I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

Years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap，a disagreement between young people and their elders.Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience(服从)，while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all.Often，they discover that they have very little in common with each other.What had gone wrong Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time.Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric(结构)of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life.In more traditional societies，when children grow up，they are expected to live in the same area as their parents，to marry people that their parents know and agree to，and to continue the family occupation.In our society，young people often travel great distances for their education，move out of the family home at an early age，marry or live with people whom their parents have never met，and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
In our easily changing society，parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs，to make more money，and to do all the things that they were unable to do.Often，however，the strong wish that parents have for their children is another cause of the disagreement between them.
Finally，the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations.In a traditional culture，elderly people are valued for their wisdom，but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight.The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds，separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt，the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come.Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society，and in the rapid speed at which society changes.
