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 both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers 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.”
1、The underlined word 6 gulf, in Para.3 most probably means .
A．difference B．distance
C．separation D．interest
2、The change in today’s parent-child relationship is .
A．more confusion among parents
B．less respect for parents from children
C．new equality between parents and children
D．more strictness and authority on the part of parents
3、By saying “today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side.” the author means that today’s parents .
A．have little difficulty adjusting to the change
B．can set a limit to the change
C．fail to take the change seriously
D．follow the trend of the change
4、The purpose of the passage is to .
A．describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with
B．compare today’s parent-child relationship with that in the past
C．suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship
D．discuss the development of the parent-child relationship

B
Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason is that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate and increase your blood pressure. Thus, you shouldn’t have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it’s important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.
Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat on the floor. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.
You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get painful. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other, it causes pressure on the veins and nerves in your legs and feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.
So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.
1、A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring showed that .
A．crossing your legs can raise your blood pressure
B．crossing one leg over the other can increase the blood circulation
C．you should have your legs crossed once every hour
D．you should get up and walk around for more than 15 minutes
2、Crossing your legs can cause some health problems except .
A．pressure on veins and nerves in legs and feet
B．permanent nerve damage
C．unstable posture
D．neck and back pain
3、What seems to be the writer’s attitude toward crossing legs?
A．Supportive. B．Negative.
C．Casual. D．Confused
