Great scientists before us didn’t get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the
way. Edison didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so
many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read
books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did
thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above

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 with your parents. Don’t get 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 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. 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 to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship
strong.
Talk about your values(看法). 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 better and happier person. It is worth
having a try!
66.The passage tells us ______ have a communication problem.
A．parents and other people
B．school kids and their parentsC．teachers and their students

67.Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you ________.
A．don’t get to them often
B．write a letter to them
C．don’t speak to them politely
D．express yourself well
68. The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means “__________”
A．to make yourself happy
B．to get you quiet and relaxed
C．to have a good rest
D．to hide yourself quickly
69. If there’s really a generation gap between you and your parents, you’d _______________.
A．have a talk with them often
B．keep away from them
C．agree with them all the time
D．know about their values
