They say that their parents don"t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch
with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom
give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children"s trust and they tend to forget how
they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act on the spot without much
thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult
situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of
their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask
before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and
in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older
people"s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That"s why young people want to
make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or
clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say "yes" to wha
t you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a
child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents" control.
If you plan to control your life, you"d better win your parents over and try to get them to
understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly
give you the right to do what you want to do.

__1__ These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message
of the writer. They also give students practice in four basic reading skills:skimming, scanning, reading
for thorough comprehension, and critical reading.
Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents. This kind of
rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or __2__
Like skimming, scanning is also quick reading. However, in this case the search is more concentrated.
__3__ When you read to find a particular date or number, you are scanning.
Reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total meaning
of the passage. At this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author"s ideas __4__.
Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads. This kind of
reading requires posting and answering questions such as "__5__", "Do I share the author"s point of
view?" and "Am I convinced by the author"s arguments and evidence?

that people with a sense of humour do better in their jobs, compared with those who have little or
no sense of humour. In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour
do better.
The survey went on to point out that the results suggested that a sense of humour may help
lighthearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, what"s more, it may push them up
the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues. Why? It seems that those with a sense of
humour are better communicators and better team players.
Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California
State University found that humour could help employees release tension.
Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed
that humour helps us think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry
or depressed. According to Dr. Trice"s research,sparing time to laugh can help us get rid of negative
feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.
If humour is really so important, then why don"t we use it more often on the job? Most likely,
the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace.
However,it is important to realize that some humour is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is
often used at the wrong time.
B. make us have a rich life
C. make us pleased with our work

D. they don"t like joking or laughing
B. to get along with
C. to be worried
D. to be successful
