Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t go to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place 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. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are 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 better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
4. According to the passage, who has a communication problem
A. parents and other people B. only school kids and their parents
C. teachers and their students D. parents and children of all ages
5. The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means ________.
A. to make yourself happy B. to get yourself quiet and relaxed
C. to have a good rest D. to hide yourself quickly
6. If your parents’ values are different from yours, you’d better ________.
A. argue with them B. keep away from them
C. agree with them all the time D. tell your parents what you care about

A. How to bridge the generation gap
B. How to deal with family problems

五、阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
Before 1800, women’s only place was in the home. The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable. No “nice” woman would dream of entering what was a “man’s world”. Even if she could, what would she do Men were sure that no woman could do a job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea. When the famous Bront sisters began writing books in 1846, they disguised (隐瞒) themselves by signing their books with men’s names.
Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College was the first college in America to accept women.
Hospital nursing became great work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous. Because she was a rich and cultured woman, as well as a nurse, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860.
The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. Because women had quick fingers, they learned to operate typewriters quickly and well.
By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that “nice” women could work in the business world had been accepted.
