were less likely to listen to them and take their suggestions-we even rebel against them.why? it may be the so-called “generation gap”. a generation gap appears when we begin to feel our parents are ignoring us, dont understand us, and we feel we can no longer share our feelings with them.the key reason is our desire for independence. in senior high school, we start to want to take responsibility for our own lives and make our own decisions. but parents resist this. they still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do. debate and discussion often come to nothing. gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside.zhang xiaoyun, 16, of ningbo, zhejiang, has talked less and less with her mother since she started senior high school. “she believes studies should be my priority, not my inner world,” zhang said. “each day, she asks me the same old questions like, how was your last exam? or have you made any progress in physics?” to zhang, these questions are annoying and so she always tries to ignore them and answers perfunctorily. “sometimes, when i get upset, i quarrel with her. after, she comes to apologize and comfort me. but i know, she doesnt completely understand me,” zhang said. now, a home that was once full of laughter has fallen into gloom and silence.the generation gap can be harmful. because of the lack of communication, our parents no longer know what we are thinking about. there are quarrels, even over trivial things. when that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies. some of us even become afraid to go home after school-a very serious situation for the whole family.6. which of the following is not included in the passage?a. the causes of generation gap.b. the effects of generation gap.c. one example of generation gap.d. ways of narrowing generation gap.7. which of the following is one reason for the generation gap according to the passage?a. modern society changing very fast.b. parents having unrealistic hopes of their children.c. parents and kids not understanding and respecting each other.d. young people liking to escape from the control of their parents.8. which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “perfunctorily”?a. attentively b. indifferently(冷淡地)c. flatteringly(奉承地)d. seriously9. in the view of the author, _.a. parents should allow their children more freedomb. parents and children should not stay togetherc. the younger generation should value the older generationd. academic records are more important than ones inner world參考答案dcba 閱讀理解abelow is a web page from /.tonights tv hot list: sunday january 31, 2010grammy awards 8/7c cbsbeyonc and taylor swift are ready to take home a lot of hardware tonight as they lead all artists with 10 and eight nominations. the ladies also perform, along with fellow album of the year nominees the black eyed peas, lady gaga and the dave matthews band. in addition, bon jovi, green day, lady antebellum, maxwell, pink and zac brown band will also take the stage. but perhaps the most expected moment is the michael jackson tribute（吊唁禮物）, which features the 3-d mini-movie earth song and will be highlighted by performers celine dion, jennifer hudson, smokey robinson, carrie underwood and usher.maurer9/8c nbca mysterious company named sabre, headed by an attractive, stubborn ceo （kathy bates）, appears out of nowhere and buys out dunder mifflin. as michael is unwilling to follow sabres new policies, andy and erin write a welcome song to greet the company. meanwhile, pam and jim hope to get accepted into a desired local day-care center.surviving survivor 8/7c cbsits hard to believe its been 10 years since the first season of survivor. but tonight ten of the games most iconic players, including previous winners richard hatch, parvati shallow and tom westman, discuss the series in detail and provide insights into how the game is actually played and the impact its had on their lives. in addition, updates on beloved former castaways, like ethan zohn, rupert boneham and elisabeth hasselbeck, are given.private practice10:01/9:01c abcso mayas pregnant and wants to have the baby. what to do now?
