Parents often think they have done much for their children while children often think their parents may not be interested in what they have to say Some simple steps can help you have better communication.Find something that interests both you and your parents. You may have a thing that they share, so talk about it. Or perhaps you and your dad are both into sports. Then talk about the game last night, or the game at school. You will find that the conversation will come easily between both of you.If you have a regular dinner time each night, try asking your parents about their day. You can be surprised at how easily they will open up to you with this simple question. Tell them what happened at school, or the new friend that you met. In this way, you and your parents will come to a good conversation.When they talk, look at them so that they know you are listening. Don't be bored, or like you're not interested or they probably will stop talking, and walk away. Let them know you think that they have interesting things to say by responding to what they say.A good conversation starter can often start by watching a television show together, which is about everyday life, especially teen problems. Ask them questions about anything you need to know.If all these fail, you can always try telling your parents how much you enjoy being with and talking to them. Parents tend to give teenagers too much space sometimes Remind that even though you are not a little kid anymore, you still need them for guidance.Ask them for advice, talk to them about things that trouble you, and tell them things that others do that trouble you. By opening up, you will be "friends" with your parents, and conversation come easily.（）1.According to the passage, how many ways can help you have better communication with your parents____?A.4B.5C. 6D.7（）2.Which of the following tips is helpful to improve your communication with parents ________?A. Follow All the advice from your parents.B. Share your trouble with your parentsC. Try telling your parents about your privacyD.

Are you taller than other kids your age? These characteristics were decided before you were born. You got your traits from your parents. They passed their traits on to you through genes（基因）.Genes carry codes （代码）for blue eyes or brown eyes. Genes say how tall you will get and what color hair you will have. You got half of your genes from your mother. You got half of your genes from your father. So you have your own set of genes. Each person gets different genes for each body part. That is why you look like but not exactly like your brother or sister.A dominant（显性的）gene shows up most of the time. Brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. A recessive（隐性的）gene shows up less often. Light hair comes from a recessive gene. Dark hair is more common. Look at the eye color and hair color of the people around you. You will see that this is true. Genes help to make you who you are. But they don't tell the whole story. Your genes may help you to be fast and strong. But you still need to learn how to run or swim or skate well.（）1.The underlined word "traits" in Paragraph 1 means _________ .A. characteristicsB. experiencesC. achievementsD. possibilities（）2.0According to Paragraph 3, you can see most of the people around you have ______ .A.brown eyes with dark hairB.brown eyes with light hairC.blue eyes with dark hairD.blue eyes with light hair（）3.What is the passage mainly about ________?A.Genes carry codes for eyes and hair.B.Genes help to make you, who you areC.Genes help you to be fast and strong.D.Genes make brothers look similar.B.

The researchers showed their new invention at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's （MIT）energy meeting in Boston.“It's completely harmless, using materials that can be seen in a rubbish field. It allows people to deal with recycling （再循环）without any difficulty, ” said Kerry Kirwan, one of the cars designers at the university. In fact, the public really likes the car, because it's the first car that is good for the environment.Many of the car's materials can be found at a farmer's market or in a rubbish box, because most of the materials are waste. The car is designed to run on special oil made from waste from chocolate factories or other plant based oils.Among Lola's other special features is a radiator（热器）that changes waste gases back to O2 .“we are proud of it because it's a racing car that cleans up as it goes along, "said Steve Maggs, another member of the design team. The racing car took the university more than nine months to develop and cost around $200, 000. Kirwan said that the thinking behind the project was to find a way to really put recycled materials to the test.
