     Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing?
Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and
talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his
parents when he was a teenager.    
    "I would never have said to my mom,' Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?'" says Ballmer. "There was just a complete gap in taste."  
    Music was not the only gulf (分歧). From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier
generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.    
    Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are
comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust
and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
    No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, "To my mother, my best friends."    
    But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.    
    "There's still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change
happening," says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. "In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents."    
    Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving(演化的) roles and attitudes. They see
the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more
democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.    
    "My parents were on the 'before' side of that change, but today's parents, the 40-year-olds,were on
the 'after' side," explains Mr. Ballmer. "It's not something easily accomplished by parents these days,
because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be
a parent now."

     Jeremy Shu-How Lin is an American professional basketball player with the New York Knicks
of the National Basketball Association. Lin was born on August on 23, 1988 in Los Angeles,
California , and grew up in a Christian family in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Palo Alto. His
parents, Gie-Ming and Shirley, emigrated from Taiwan to the United States in the mid-1970s. They
are dual nationals of both Taiwan and the U.S.
     Lin's parents are both 5 feet 6 inches tall. His maternal grandmother's family was tall, and her father
was over 6 feet. Lin has an older brother, Josh , and a younger brother , Joseph .
     In his senior year in 2005-2006, Lin captained Palo Alto High School to a 32-1 record and upset
nationally ranked Mater Dei , 51-47 , for the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division II
state title . He was named first - team All-State and Northern California Division II Player of the Year,
ending his senior year averaging 15.1 points , 7.1 assists , 6.2 rebounds and 5.0 steals .
     Lin sent his resume and a DVD of highlights of his high school basketball career to many universities.
Harvard and Brown were the only teams that guaranteed him a spot on their basketball teams.
      In July 2005, then-Harvard assistant coach Bill Holden saw that Lin was 6 feet 3 inches, which fit
the physical attributes he was seeking , and he had a 4.2 grade point average in high school , which fit
Harvard's academic standards . However, Holden was not initially impressed with Lin's on-court abilities, and told Lin's high school basketball coach , Peter Diepenbrock , that Lin was a "Division III player".
Later that week, Holden saw Lin playing in a much more competitive game, driving to the basket at
every opportunity with the "instincts of a killer". Lin became a top-priority for Holden. Harvard coaches
feared that Stanford, close to Lin's home, would offer Lin a scholarship, but it did not , and Lin chose to
attend Harvard .
     Joe Lacob, incoming Warriors' owner and Stanford booster, said Stanford's failure to accept Lin
"was really stupid. The kid was right across the street. If you can't recognize that, you've got a problem."
Kerry Keating, the UCLA assistant who offered Lin the opportunity to walk-on , said in hindsight that
Lin would probably have ended up starting at point guard for UCLA (University of California at Los
Angeles ) .
1. Which of the following statements about Shu-How Lin is NOT correct according to the passage ?
A. He is a professional basketball player of the NBA .
B. He was brought up in a Chinese-American family .

C. Lin is an excellent organizer on the basketball court
D. Lin has a large number of fans all over the country
3. Bill Holden gave a chance to Lin because          .

     Imagine yourself on a boat looking out at the horizon and all you can see is the water meeting the sky
with no land in sight and you are sailing straight ahead to meet the world. Jesse Martin does not have to
imagine: he is living in it.
     On Dec. 7, 1998, at 17 years old, Jesse set sail from Melbourne, Australia on his boat, attempting to
become the youngest person to sail alone and nonstop around the world. He sailed south of New Zealand,
through the South Pacific, around South America, north on the Atlantic, back south past Africa, through
the Indian Ocean and back to Melbourne.
     Even as a young child, Jesse had been an adventurer who traveled all over Europe and Asia with his
parents. Born in Munich, Germany in 1981, he moved to Australia with his family when he was only two
years old. They moved close to a rainforest in Cow Bay, about 3500kms north of Melbourne, where they
built a small house with no electricity or running water. Jesse grew up at the beach enjoying the outdoors
to its fullest.
     At 14, he sailed for the first time with his father and brother, Beau. It was after this trip that he began
to dream about sailing around the world.
     Jesse's family played an important role. "I was made to believe I could do anything." he says. Although,
he says, there were others that were not so encouraging or supportive, "People that I looked up to, respected
and trusted told me I couldn't. Thankfully, I trusted myself. There were people that said that the boat
couldn't be ready by the time I had to leave." However, through perseverance and belief in himself he was
able to do what many told him was impossible.
     On Oct.31, 1999, more than 10 months after he set sail, Jesse Martin went down in history as the
youngest person to sail around the world alone, nonstop and unassisted.
1. What's the author's purpose in encouraging the reader to imagine a sailing experience?
A. To show how difficult it is to be a sailor.
B. To show how wonderful Jesse's sailing is.
C. To describe what Jesse's sailing is like.
D. To describe what a sailor's life is like.
2. Jesse Martin was at the end of his voyage when he ______.
A. sailed on the South Pacific.
B. sailed on the Indian Ocean.
C. sailed past Africa.
D. sailed past South America.
3. Which of the following made Jesse decide to sail alone around the world?
A. His childhood adventure experiences.
B. His journeys to Europe.
C. His first sailing trip with his family.
D. His love for outdoor activities.
4. What can we learn from Jesse Martin's story?
A. Interest leads to success.
B. A strong belief will make a person stronger.
C. Life is an unusual adventure we should enjoy.
D. Failure is the mother of success.
