A
Parents and kids today dress alike,listen to the same music,and are friends.Is this a good thing? Sometimes,when Mr.Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter,Elizabeth,listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy,such as pop culture.he remember his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom,‘Hey,the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it?’”says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.”
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 separate orbits.
Today,the generation gap has not disappeared,but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects 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,my best friend.”
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.“There’s 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 of that change,there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.
“My parents were on the‘before’side of that change,but today’s parents,the 40-year-olds,were on the‘after’side,”explains Mr.Ballmer.“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days,because life is more difficult to understand or deal with,but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.” 21.What can we learn about Mr.Ballmer in Paragraph 1 ? A.He and Elizabeth both 1ike Weezer. B.He had different interests with his mom. C.He had a bad relationship with his mom. D.He liked talking about music with his mom.
22.What does the underlined word“democratic”probably mean? A.Equal.

23.The passage is mainly about_____________. A.the problems of parent-child relationship B.the strategies for parent-child relationships C.the development of parent-child relationship D.the ways for parents to handle parent-child problems

Owning a lovable,cute pet can unquestionably make one’s home life better and obviously,it can affect pet owners’professional lives as well.In fact,according to a new survey,people who have owned pets may be more professionally successful,and this is definitely good news for ambitious pet parents.
The survey was conducted by Kelton Global Research for Banfield Pet Hospital,according to Fast Company.The researchers surveyed 857 adults in the United States with a variety of careers,as explained in the survey summary on Banfield’s website.Among the C-suite executives(CEOs,etc.)surveyed,93 percent grew with a pet in their home,with 78 percent claiming that growing up with a pet helped cause their career suceess as an adult.Interestingly,83 percent of C-suite executives who participated said they grew up with a dog,59 percent of them said they grew up with a cat,and 37 percent of them said they grew up with another kind of pet.(You’re correct these numbers do not add up.It would seem that many of the people interviewed grew up with multiple

kinds of pets.)
So,how exactly does pet ownership cause career success? Well,according to Banfield’s research,executives reported that their pet helped teach them lessons like responsibility,creativity,empathy,discipline,and organization,which have all been valuable in the business world.But what about people who grew up pet-less,but have adopted pets as adults? Luckily for those,the survey showed that current pet ownership can also help with professional success.
According to the research,86 percent of current pet parents surveyed said owning pets helps them stick to a routine,better manage their time,and multitask more efficiently.But even if you don’t think your pet ham directly helped you,your coworkers’knowledge that yon have a pet may actually be beneficial for your career.In fact,80 percent of people surveyed said they“feel more connected to colleagues who are pet owners,”and 79 percent of those surveyed believe that fellow co-workers who have pets are“hard workers.” 24.What do the figures in Paragraph 2 show? A.There is a rising demand for pets.
B.Owning pets can make for professional success. C.More and more CEOs become aware of pots’effects. D.Pets become commercialized among C-suite executives. 25.What can we learn from this passage?

Some of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders.For example,Google(Sergey Brin and Larry Page),Apple(Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs),and Microsoft(Bill Gates and Paul Allen)and so on.Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business.No matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support.They may have extra skills,and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day problems.And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked.

its storage,design and usability,and it may well have bean a hit if it weren’t for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded.It was soon banned immediately from flights,and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model.The shortcoming reportedly cost the company $1 billion,and a further $17 billion in lost sales.But remember,based on the lesson,the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that failing is part of business success.
One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times—and luckily,they bounced back.Take Sarah Blakely,founder of shapewear brand Spanx for example.She credits her business success specifically to her failures.“I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long,”she remembered.“People would tear up my business card in my face. But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created.I learned that‘no’doesn’t always mean‘no’,and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes.People told me no with Spanx for two years.“Spanx is worth just over $1 billion—it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just $5 000! 27.What can we learn from the examples in Paragraph 1?

28.Why does the author mention Samsungs Galaxy Note 7,8 and 9? A.To suggest customers should follow the new trends. B.To prove Samsung is responsible for customers. C.To show Samsung paid for its product failure. D.To explain that failures don’t spell the end. 29.What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely’s success? A.Her friends’help. C.Her good luck.
B.Her will power.
D.Her education background.
30.How does the author develop the passage? A.By making contrast. C.By giving examples.

does reading this message make you feel? Was he or she angry or did that person just forget to turn off the‘Caps Lock’on the computer? The fact is that this e-mail“sounds”like the writer is shouting because using all capital letters in an e-mail is usually the way that people shout online.Knowing when to and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette(规矩)often called netiquette. 31 Following are some of her suggestions.
First always remember that you are sending messages to a real person not just to a computer.Don’t type anything that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. 32 So make sure your meaning is clear.
Don’t do anything online that you wouldn’t do in real life.Don’t take anything without paying for it unless it's free.Don’t read other people’s e-mail—you wouldn’t you’re your next-door neighbor’s mailbox and open their mail right? And do share your knowledge of the Internet with others. 33
34 Good writing skills as well as correct grammar and spelling do matter.Send polite well-written e-mail messages to others.If you’re uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrase to use,look it up.There are lots of helpful books and websites.
It’s okay to express your opinions online in forums like chat rooms or message boards for example“MSN”or“QQ”but don’t start arguments with people. 35 But they are often unfair to other members of the group.Express your ideas but remember that fighting on or offline is just not right.
A.Remember you’re not the only one online.
B.“Flame wars”in online discussion can be interesting to read. C.Try to respect others,such as their space,privacy,and feelings.
D.It’s a big place with lots of information and there fire many flew things to discover. E.Remember that people judge you by your words and your actions,so do try to white wall. F.Also remember that he cannot hear the tone of your voice or see the expressive on your face.
G.Virginia Shea’s book Netiquette lists a basic set of dos and don’ts for communicating rightly with others online.
