Communication is a problem for parents and children of all the agesIf it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about itHere is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(代沟).

Don't argue with your parentsDon't talk to your parents when you are angryYour parents probably won't consider your ideas if you shout at themAnd you can't express yourself well if you are angryGo to some place to cool offMake sure you understand why you are unhappyThen think about what you want to say to your parentsIf 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 somethingYou can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept(接受) each otherOf course, your parents might refuse to compromise on somethingIf that happens, it is especially important to show love and respect(尊敬) to themShowing 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 ownTell your parents what you care about, and whyUnderstanding values might help them see your purpose in life

1Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you         

    Aoften go home late                  Bdon't speak to them calmly

    Cwrite a letter to them                 Dexpress yourself well

2The phrase "cool off" in this passage probably means         

    Ahave dinner                         Bmake yourself happy

    Cget quiet and calm                   Dhave fun

3If there is really a generation gap between you and your parents, you'd better         

    Aagree with them all the time            Bkeep away from them

    Cknow about their hobbies             Dhave a talk with them often

4From the passage we learn that         

    Athere are some good ways to bridge the generation gap

    Bparents and children should not have a generation gap

    Cparents should show love and respect to their children

Dthere are so many serious problems in the family today
