20．Effective communication is a sign of strong and stable families while poor communication often causes families difficulties and conflicts，according to Virginia Tech．Understanding the features and the benefits of good family communication helps ensure positive and healthy relationships among family members．
Virginia Tech sees the clear family communication as clear direct and clear indirect communication．The former，the healthiest form of family communication，occurs when you clearly express a message to the correct family member．The latter refers to a message stated understandably but without a good indication of whom the message refers to．
Good listening is of great importance in family communication and it shows that you care and that you are concerned with the message being conveyed．At the same time，you should make constant eye contact and provide verbal feedback （反馈），such as"I see"．Rephrasing（改述） improves understanding and reduces confusion．To rephrase a message，you must listen carefully to the message，restate the message without adding extra information and check with the speaker to ensure the correct understanding．Probing refers to asking questions or making statements to identify the aspects of the message and reflect on the feelings it conveys．Positive speaking requires you to focus on positive things and be willing to share more information related to the topic．This gives you the chance to express yourself，helps family members build positive self-images，and encourages cooperation．
Good family communication develops good relationships and leads to a better understanding，which help reduce anger and stress．Additionally，according to the University of Delaware，good family communication helps resolve conflicts within the family．Good communication also helps families stay strong by recognizing the need for compromise （折中）．
There are some practical tips on improving the communication between the family members．
In order to increase availability，set aside a few minutes every day to connect with your family members and discuss your days and anything disturbing you．
Being empathetic （感情移入的） means listening to the feelings of family members and showing your understanding．
Let the communication in the family be more than just verbal expression．Even the presence of family members are very important．For example，the presence of parents conveys the messages of safety，love and concern for the children．Use body language and gestures of affection generously in the communication．Even when you criticize or correct a child，holding him and talking to him in the most pleasing manner may help the messages to be accepted in the desired manner．Remember a kiss or a hug can tell more than words can do．

17．Why texting harms your IQThe regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana （大麻）．That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10points off the user's IQ．This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana，according to British researchers，who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as"infomania"．The research conducted by Hewlett Packard，the technology company，has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers，especially men．
It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a person's mind．It can cause a constant distraction of"always on"technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do．Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand．The report also added that，in a long term，the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life．At a microcellular level，the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences．
Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a person's mind，but to their social relationship.1100 adults were interviewed during the research．More than 62 percent of them admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday．Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so．It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and anxiety and affecting one's characteristics．Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude．
The effects on IQ were studied by Dr．Glenn Wilson，a psychologist at University of London．"This is a very real and widespread phenomenon，"he said．"We have found that infomania will damage a worker's performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life．Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working．"

Dear Mr．Albert，
I am Li Hua，a student from the high school near your factory．
I'm writing to let you know about the noises from your factory．Every night，the factory makes such loud noises that all the students in my school are seriously disturbed．I find it hard to fall asleep during the night，and then I can hardly focus my attention on my study during the daytime．I always feel sleepy in classes and that's just because the noises make it impossible for me to have a good sleep at night．
I wish you could think of some ways to solve this problem．Would you please consider improving or changing the equipment in your factory？
Looking forward to your reply．
Sincerely yours，
Li Hua．
1．It is common to experience culture shock when you are living in a foreign country for a period of time．But how to overcome your culture shock？（36）GYou needn't feel anxious and confused in your new space．
Keep an open mind．（37）CRefusing judgment and following the cultural differences will allow you to be an objective observer and will promote the process of cross-cultural understanding．Also，if you are going to a country which you know close to nothing about，do a little background information．（38）FAnd who knows，you may find the reason for something you may not understand．
Make an effort to learn the local language and people．Being good at speaking the language can increase your communication skills and it helps you to connect with the local community．It also shows your interest in the new country．（39）ERespectfully ask questions，read newspapers，and attend a variety of festivals and events．
（40）ADon't be too hard on yourself if you make a cultural mistake or don't know what to do in a social situation．Laugh at yourself and others will laugh with you．Just be a humorous person．Most people will admire your effort to understand their ways，especially if you are lack of judgment and cultural comparisons that skillfully and perhaps unconsciously express a veil of superiority．

A．Keep a sense of humor．
B．Avoid making any mistake．
C．Do not think anything that is different is"wrong"．
D．When you are in a foreign country，you'd better be kind-hearted．
E．Meanwhile，make sure you get to know people in your new environment．
F．As you learn more about the background information，keeping an open mind is necessary．
G．By adapting to a foreign culture，you can overcome it and develop relationships with some people．
18．My father was attached to gardening by birth．One of my earliest memories is following：Dad barefoot around in the garden with both hands blackened from digging in the soil．The garden was a wonderland full of possibilities．
As Dad grew older，he still loved gardening．Even when he was diagnosed with cancer，he still planted all sorts of plants．Sometimes，I would come over to visit，and we would walk together in the garden．But then，something changed．Like the weeds that took over his garden，the cancer grew rapidly in Dad，and the doctor gave up．I stayed with Dad twenty-four hours a day and I found myself in all kinds of uncomfortable situations with Dad until I promised to care for the garden．
Though I had heard the words of the doctor，what really made me believe that Dad was dying was the state of his garden．That year，he only planted tomatoes．Too tired to weed them，he simply tied them with strong strings to the fence and let them be．It made me sad to see them ignored，so I would come over and water them once in a while，and remove the weeds．I still remember the day when I picked the last tomato from the vine（藤）．That day was one of the saddest I had ever experienced in my life．
Three years ago，I decided to plant my own garden．I decided I would start out with just a few tomatoes．That morning when I moved to the garden，something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile．It was my eight-year-old son Nathan，standing barefoot in the soil，happily playing in soil．
