Communication is a problem for parents and children of all the 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（代沟）．
Don't argue with your parents．Don't talk to your parents when you are angry．Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you shout at them．And you can't express yourself well if you are angry．Go to 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（妥协）．Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something．You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept（接受） each other．Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something．If that happens, it is especially important to show love and respect（尊敬） to them．Showing respect will keep your relationship strong．
Talk about your values（价值观、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 values might help them see your purpose in life．

查看习题详情和答案>> When I was a child, my mother often told me, “Don’t run around, or bad uncles
will grad（抓住） you. And you know what? You will never see Mum and Dad again.”
“Why, Mama? Why would these uncles grab me?” I would ask. “The city is a dangerous place and we don’t trust any strangers, ”she would reply.
Well, that might answer the question of why my second brother never picks up calls from an unknown person either on his mobile or his home phone. It seems that he doesn’t care if he misses an important call. because he thinks that all unknown calls are from bad persons.
So, have we given too much protection to our young kids? Perhaps it is so. But the adults’ thoughts are indeed easy to understand. The kids meet swindlers sometimes as we adults tell them. Also they get some news about cheating（欺骗） in newspapers or on TV every day. That makes the kids believe that they just cannot trust strangers.
Let’s look at an example from everyday life. Say, if someone carrying a wooden stick（棍子） comes nearer to you, will you try to run away at once even before he or she starts talking to you? Will you guess this person’s intentions（意图） and think that he or she wants to rob（抢劫） you of something? Think of the answer for yourself.
Of course, the kids should look after themselves, but overprotection can sometimes stop them from making new friends. Sometimes it’s not good for their new friendships.
Trust is like a mirror. When we offer trust to people, they might just show you trust in return.

Miss Culture, the local art reporter who worked for "The Hemlock
Weekly News" , said proudly, "This is clearly a masterpiece(杰作) created by an artist who wishes to be not to known to other people. The beautiful lines
of color show a person who is looking back at an exciting lifetime of
success!"
At that moment, Mr. Lightman, the gallery curator (馆长) , came into the room. "Isn't it great?"he asked with a big smile on his face."My three-year-old son did that this morning. He says it's a maze(迷宫) . I think it's
