21、 Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

22、 Yang Liwei circled the earth 14 times in 21 hours on October 15 and 16, 2003, landing on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.

23、The Olympic Games have changed a lot since they were first held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Back then, winners got silver medals instead of gold ones. Sounds strange, doesn’t it? People thought silver was better than gold. Also, no women ran in the first Olympics, and only 13 countries took part. China was not one of them. But those aren’t the only differences.
The Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin(顾拜旦)was the man who really wanted the Games to start again. His ideas for the modern Olympics came from the Greek Games thousands of years ago. He hoped they would help to bring world peace.
But it took time for the Olympics to become popular. Not many people thought they were good ideas in 1896, so they were put together poorly. Some tourists even ran in races! Today, more than 10,000 people from about 200 countries take part.
In the early years of the Olympics, there weren’t many sports. Most events were track and field, much like in the first Greek Games. Events usually took place in the Panathenaic Stadium(雅典体育场), and you can still see them today. Players did not wear their countries’ colours in 1896. Their clothes were not like the uniforms people wear today. In fact, players weren’t even picked by their countries back then. They travelled to the Games by themselves and had to use their own money to take part. New sports have been put into the Olympics over time, like badminton and table tennis. Some older games are no longer played, like tug-of-war(拔河). It would be hard to see all the events at this year’s Games, There will be over 300!
Swimming was different in 1896. There was a 1,200-metre race in the sea. A boat took swimmers into the sea and left them to swim back to land. Sometimes rough water made the race dangerous. The first person ever to win that race was Hungarian(匈牙利的)Alfred Hajos. He seemed happy just to finish. “I just wanted to live. That’s more important than winning.” he said. When people or teams won events in 1896, they didn’t get the same things as now. They got olive wreaths(橄榄枝花环)to put on their heads and silver medals.
【1】In the first Olympics, winners were given ________.
A.gold medals and olive wreaths
B.silver and gold medals
C.olive wreaths and flowers
D.silver medals and olive wreaths
【2】Baron Pierre de Coubertin wanted the Olympic Games to start again because ________.
A.many people thought they were good ideas
B.they became popular in 1896
C.he hoped they would help to bring world peace
D.no women ran in the first Olympics
【3】In the early years of the Olympics, ________.
A.most events were track and field
B.players wore the uniforms people wear today
C.people from about 200 countries took part
D.events usually took place in many other countries
【4】________ is no longer played in modern Olympics.
