The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families．But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image(印象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels．
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past．” We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team．” They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的)and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well．There’s more negotiation(商议)and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-makin mso-ascii-font-famg process．They don’t want to rock the boat．”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends．” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall．” I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing．As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it．” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees．” Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation．For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night．But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that．”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected．It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not rooted in real facts．A researcher comments,” Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings．But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled．The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over．”

The Basics of Math－Made Clear
Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas．These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数)and beyond．
The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic．They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots．In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically．
Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students．The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening．They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing－and completely understandable－field of study．
By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math．They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性)of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined．In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges．
Professor H．Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious．From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary．
With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr．Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College．His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers．
