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 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.

27. The underlined phrase “cool off” in this passage probably means __________.

When you wake up in the middle of the night with a nightmare（噩梦）, you must be very scared. Don’t be in fear because it’s just a bad dream. Well, maybe you’ve gotten a chance to relax, because nightmares might actually be good for you.

According to New York Magazine, bad dreams can improve your mental（心理的）health. Most nightmares come from real-life worries, such as an upcoming exam, or terrible things you’ve seen. To reduce these worries, the brain turns the dream into a story in the form of a bad dream. So a bad dream can keep you away from anxieties（忧虑）, and turn something you’re worried about now into a memory（记忆）. The result is that when you wake up you’re able to move forward and face the future.

A study in The Atlantic Magazine, showed similar results. In a survey of more than 700 French students taking a medical school entrance exam, over 60 percent had bad dreams about the test the night before. These included not finishing on time, leaving a question blank, or being late. Those who reported dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn’t. It shows that nightmares can actually help us prepare for the future.

So, the next time you wake up at night after a bad dream, it may be the brain is putting your fears behind you and readying you for the future. Although a nightmare may make you afraid for a short time, it may help you get out of the bad things. We should try to accept our nightmares rather than allow them to keep us awake. After all, lack of sleep causes more problems than dreaming.

30. A bad dream may be _ to your mental health.

A. careful B. fearful C. helpful D. hopeful

31. Nightmares can turn your worries into __________.

A. anxieties B. dreams C. memories D. problems

32. Which of the following is True?

A. Bad dream is from fear.

B. Nightmares must be good for you.

C. The brain can keep you away from worries.

D. Students who had dreams did better in the exam.

33. The best title of this passage is __________.

A. Accept Your Nightmares

B. Face Nightmares Correctly

C. Keep Away From Nightmares

D. Nightmares Come From Worries

四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）

You would see a robot when you were reading a story or watching a movie, such as Star Wars. Today, however, science stories are becoming true. More and more robots are starting to be used in factories and our homes. These robots are different in size, shape and colour, but all of them have the same type of man-made “brain”. The robots that work in factories are called industrial robots.

These kinds of robots are cleverer and faster than the old ones. Industrial robots can do jobs that are often boring and sometimes dangerous.

Robots are already coming into American homes, though not as quickly as they are going into factories. We have made robots work at home. They can do some housework like cooking, or playing with people just for fun.

These robots aren’t as friendly and clever as those in Star Wars. But their makers say, today’s home robots can “walk” and find objects in their way, though sometimes they may knock into（撞上）those objects. They can even carry objects, though sometimes they may drop those objects. Well, nobody is wonderful. We may laugh at home robots today, but some day they will do better than humans. We humans can only see certain length of light, and hear certain sounds, while robots may see and hear better than we do.

In a word, robots will be widely used in our life in the future.

34. Where are more and more robots starting to be used?

35. What do all kinds of robots have?

36. What kind of jobs can industrial robots do?

37. What do the robots makers think of today’s home robots?

38. What else do you want home robots to do for you?
