A

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
are
some
suggestions
for
you
to
bridge generation gap
（代沟）
.


Don't
argue
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
You
can't
express
（表达）

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
（和解）
. Perhaps you and your parents disagree
（有分歧）
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 car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a
compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days.


Of
course
your
parents
might
refuse
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.

C


If
music
makes you
smarter
and exercise
helps
you
to
think,
surely exercising
to
music
can
turn you into a clever person.

A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were
getting better from heart disease after operations. They found those volunteers who exercised
while
listening
to
Italian
musician
Antonio
Vivaldi's
The
Four
Seasons

did
much
better
on
language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have
had head hurts because of its moderate tempo
（舒缓的节拍）
.


“Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nerve
（神经）
system and these changes
may
improve
the
learning
ability
of
people
with
heart
disease,”
said
the
psychologist
Charles
Emery, who led the study. “And listenin
g to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just
wanted to put the two results together,” he added.

The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or without
music.
But
their
improvement
on
the
test
doubled
after
listening
to
music
during
exercise.
Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress
and
sadness,
encourage
relaxation
or
sleep,
wake
up
the
body
and
improve
memory
and
thoughts.

Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding
since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart's violin pieces and
exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your
parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports. But perhaps now you have
good reasons to argue with them.

（
1
）
What does the underlined word enhance mean?


A. produce
B. provide
C. improve
D. impress

（
2
）
From the last paragraph we can learn that .


A. you should follow your parents' words

B. you have some good reasons to join in an IQ test

C. good marks depend on listening to music and excising
