    Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However, it is not true.

    Communication is a problem for parents and children of all 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(消除代沟). Don’t argue(争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace 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(和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

    Of course, your parents might refuse(拒绝) to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect(尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

    Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

    A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

    Can you imagine having a cheetah(猎豹) as a pet in the house?Does it sound scary to you?But for a family inSouth Africa, one cheetah is treated as a VIP (Very Important Person) in the house.

   The big cheetah is named Jolie, after the film star Angelina Jolie.16_________She can often be found eating from the kitchen table, taking a short sleep on the sofa, or even sleeping on Lucy and Jeff's bed. The big cat also sleeps and plays with another pet, the more usual one—a sheepdog(牧羊犬).17__________

   However, a cheetah is always a cheetah.20_________“She always makes a mess in the house, urinating(小便) everywhere and chewing everything. It's her wild instincts(本能),” said Mrs. Brown.

五、信息摘录

Are your parents often angry with you? Or do you always disagree with your parents? Maybe the relationships between you and your parents are terrible. It's difficult to make your home a happy and healthy place. In fact, you can change the situations by the following keys.     

Respect(尊重)   It's important to show your respect and care about your parents' feelings. Though you have disagreements(分歧), at least try to understand whatever they are trying to tell you. You shouldn't keep your own thoughts only.   

Communication   You can communicate with your parents in a polite way. You may not get what you want, but explaining your thoughts calmly and rationally(理性地) may show your parents that you are no longer a kid, not just a kid.   

Trust    How can your parents build trust in you? It depends on what you do. For example, if you get home late without calling first, next time your parents may not believe you. To earn(赢得) their trust, you must pay attention to the ways you do things instead of fighting with them. It will make your life much easier.   

Spending time together   Some teens find that sharing time together can build trust. Your parents may be interested in going shopping, hanging out and playing cards with you. Spending time together will drive away the "black cloud" hanging over your home.   

    Your parents give all their love to you. Why not try these ways actively to own a happy family as you want?
