Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music to

2、gether and talk about interests they 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, Weezers new album is really great. How do you like it? says Ballmer. There was just a complete gap in tast

3、e. Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in different directions. Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects

4、 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, m

5、y best friend. But family experts warn that the new equality(平等) can also result in less respect for parents. Theres 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

6、of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents. Family researchers offer many reasons for these evolving(進化的) roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyone to ha

7、ve a say. My parents were on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side, explains Mr. Ballmer. Its not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it

10、with that in the pastB At thirteen, I was diagnosed (診斷) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minute

11、s. I raised my hand right away and said,Mrs Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it. She glanced at me through her glasses,You are not different from your classmates, young man.I tried, but I didnt finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take i

12、t home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education. But Louis didnt give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (點),which opened up a whole new w

13、orld of knowledge to the blind. Wasnt I the blind in my class, being made to learn like the sighted students? My thoughts spilled out (涌出) and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find

14、his way to solve his problems, why should I ever give up? I didntexpect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next daywith an A on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: See what you can do when you keep trying?1.Why didnt t

17、 A Great Teacher D. From the Blind to the SightedC The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and pleasure. We use it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect with family and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about. The list goes

18、on and on. As far as the Internet being a part of our lives, well, that train has left the station. There is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to

19、high blood pressure (血壓) in a young group: teenagers. The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online may suffer from high blood pressure, which makes your heart and blood vessels (血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra pressure increases your risk of a heart attack. Hi

20、gh blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases. The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as heavy Internet users. And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high b

21、lood pressure. The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy Internet use with high blood pressure. The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy Bushrow. She said, Using the Internet is part of our daily life, but it shouldnt ruin us. Ms. Cassidy Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to

22、 stop to have a rest regularly from their computers or smart phones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldnt let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.1.What does the underlined part that train has left the station in Pa

26、o much Internet use may be bad for teenagersD In my mind, there is a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart. Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. Despite his hard trainin

27、g at all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played. This teenager lived alone with his father, and the relationship between the two of them was very special. Even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a gam

28、e. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him. The young man loved football and was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps hed get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never misse

29、d a practice nor a game but remained a benchwarmer. Besides, his faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a walk-on. Everyone firmly believed that he could never make the c

30、ut, but he did it. The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed a practice during his four years

31、 at college, but actually he never got the real chance to play in a game. It was at the end of his senior football season that the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became totally silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, My father died this morning. Is it

32、 all right if I miss the practice today? The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, Take the rest of the week off, son. And dont even plan to come back to the game on Saturday. Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behin

33、d, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were surprised to see their faithful teammate back so soon. Coach, please let me play. Ive just got to play today, said the young man. The coach pret

34、ended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close play-off game. But the young man insisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. All right, he said. You can go in. Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe th

35、eir eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before, was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to succeed. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid got a pass and ran all the

36、way for the winning touchdown. Finally, after the stands had emptied, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the comer all alone. The coach came to him and said, Kid, you were unbelievably fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it? He looked at the coach, tears in

37、 his eyes, and said, Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind? The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could make it!l.What does the underlined sentence he got a
