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 way.

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.

But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot strictness and authority(权威) 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 different roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic(民主的) 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-old, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily gotten 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.” 29. The underlined word gulf in Para. 3 most probably means _______. A. interest B. cooperation C. similarity A. more confusion among parents.

B. new equality between parents and children. C. less respect for parents from children.

D. more strictness and authority on the part of parents.

31. By saying “ today’s parents, the 40-year-old, were on the ‘after’ side,” the author means that today’s parents _______.

A. can set a limit to the change. B. fail to take the change seriously. C. follow the need of the change.

D. have little difficulty accommodate themselves to the change.

D. distance

30. The change in today’s parent-child relationship is ______.

32. The purpose of the passage is to ______.

A. discuss the development of the parent-child relationship. B. describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with. C. suggest the ways to deal with the parent-child relationship. D. compare today’s parent-child relationship with that in the past.

TED is a non-profit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, and Design. Since then it has stepped into more and more fields. Along with two annual(年度的) conferences—the TED Conference on the West Coast each spring, and the TED Global Conference in Edinburgh UK each summer—TED includes the award-winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TED Programmes, and the annual TED Prize.

The two annual TED conferences, on the North American West Coast and in Edinburgh, Scotland, bring together the world’s most excellent thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives(in 18 minutes or less).

On ted. com, we make the best talks and performances from TED and partners available to the world, for free. More than 1,200 TED talks are now available, with more added each week.

So we’re building here a clearinghouse(信息交流中) that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world’s most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other. Have an idea? We want to hear from you.

The Case For and Against Homework

Homework is typically defined as “any tasks given to students by school teachers that are meant to be carried out during non-school hours”. Homework has been a hot topic of debate in education. Throughout the first decade of the 20th century, educators commonly believed that homework helped create disciplined(严谨的) minds. 36 Since then, arguments for and against homework have continued to grow.

A number of studies have been carried out on homework. Two analyses by Cooper and colleagues are the most comprehensive(全面的). They concluded that the relationship between homework and student achievement was found to be positive. 37

38 The authors of How Homework Is Hurting Our Children and What We Can Do About It criticized(批评) both the quantity and quality of homework. They provided evidence that too much homework harms students health and family time. They insisted that teachers reduce the amount of homework and avoid homework over breaks and holidays.

One of the more controversial (有争议的) problem in the homework debate is the amount of time students should spend on homework. Researchers have offered various suggestions. 39 Another question regarding homework is the degree to which schools should involve parents. Some studies have reported minimal positive effects or even negative effects for parental involvement. 40

Finally, homework should cause students and their parents or other family members to take part in conversations and thus help the students’ learning.

A. Improper homework may produce little or no benefit. B. Teachers are to blame for providing too much homework. C. Doing homework causes improved learning achievement.

D. Although the research support for homework is powerful, the case against homework is popular. E. By 1940, growing concern that homework affected other home activities caused a reaction against it. F. Experts suggest parents receive clear rules and teachers do not expect parents to act as experts.

G. For example, 5 to 10 minutes per subject might be enough for 4th graders, while 30 to 60 minutes for high school students.
