The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the "Happy Birthday" song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.
In China, on a child's second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession the child will choose later in life.
For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侣) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.
In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.
Eighteen is the traditional 'coming of age'- the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote(选举), join the army and (in Britain) drink alcohol or buy a house.
In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!

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 is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.
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 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!
1. According to the passage who have a communication problem?
A. parents and other people B. only school kids and their parents
C. teachers and their students D. parents and children of all ages
2. How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?
A. 5. B. 4. C. 3. D. 2.
3. If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you’d better _________.
A. argue with them B. keep away from them
C. agree with them all the time D. tell your parents what you care about
4. The best title for the passage is_________.
A. How to bridge the generation gap B. How to deal with family problems
C. How to be good parents D. How to be a good child

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
Recently, Chongqing Three Gorges University has held an activity named “Cell Phone Ninja (手机忍者)”. They would like their students not to use cellphones for 21 days. It is really a challenge for most students.
The activity started on April 12. Each student who volunteered to take part in this activity got a bracelet (手环). If the students did not use their cellphones, there would be a photo on the screen of the bracelet to show that. If they used their cellphones, a different photo would appear on the screen of the bracelet. After the last class of each day, the students sent the photos to the school’s public Wechat.
More than 800 students wished to take part in this test, and 400 were chosen. After seven days, only 103 students remained. The test was set for 21 days because some scientists believe that 21 days is long enough to help people form a habit.
According to the teachers in the university, the activity was not a competition. It depended on students themselves to make the decision. The teachers hoped their students could form better study habits through activities like this one.
1. When did the activity “Cell Phone Ninja” start?
________________________________
2. Why was the test set for 21 days?
________________________________
3. Would you like to take part in the activity? Why or why not?

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 is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.
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 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!

The activity started on April 12. Each student who volunteered to take part in this activity got a bracelet (手环). If the students did not use their cellphones, there would be a photo on the screen of the bracelet to show that. If they used their cellphones, a different photo would appear on the screen of the bracelet. After the last class of each day, the students sent the photos to the school’s public Wechat.
More than 800 students wished to take part in this test, and 400 were chosen. After seven days, only 103 students remained. The test was set for 21 days because some scientists believe that 21 days is long enough to help people form a habit.

【答案】
Dear Mr. Wu,
I am writing to recommend David as our new monitor. I think he has many strong qualities for the position.
He is well organized and modest. David is a smart student in our class, so he has good grades. He is always ready to help others when they are in trouble. One day, it rained after school but I didn’t take an umbrella. David shared his umbrella with me.
He is confident and believes that he can shape his future only by himself. He is always interested in many new things. He acquires knowledge about the world not only from books but also from the real society. David is interested in color and he often tells his classmates how to use colors to change their mood. Tom always likes wearing black T-shirts. He failed in an exam so he felt depressed. David told Tom that light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. Tom became happier after he followed David’s suggestion.
I think David is the most suitable person to be our monitor. I hope that you agree with me.
