11、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

12、 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 appeare

13、d to move in separate orbits.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 sport

14、s, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “Theres still a lot of strictness and authority on

15、 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 evolving roles and attitudes. They see th

16、e 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “Its not som

17、ething easily accomplished 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.”1、The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means _.Ainterest BdistanceCseparation Ddifference2、The change in todays par

By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3

21、 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic.Now, that may be changing. A new environmentally-friendly shopping model was recently launched at the Wor

22、ld Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This shopping model, called Loop, aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones.Loop is the idea of Terra Cycle, an American-based recycling company. Its chief, Tom Szaky. told the Associated Press (AP) that “removing plastics from the ocean is not

23、enough.” He said the point is to get away from single-use packages. Szaky said that Loop is the future of shopping. But it comes from an idea of the past.He compared it to the “milkman model” of the 1950s in the United States. Back then, someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles and the

24、n left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zero-waste.Jennifer Morgan from the environmental non-profit organization Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. She said that “Greenpeace welcomes the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from th

25、rowaway culture and disposability.” But Morgan questioned whether companies worldwide are ready to change their business models.Loop is set to launch later this year in three eastern U.S. states, and also in Paris, France and some of the surrounding area. Then Loop plans to expand to the U.S. West C

Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will

29、 admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures ones mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.But the SAT folks have added a single que

30、stion, to be answered in an essay, handwritten on the spot. Thats an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young peoples handwriting lately? Or anyones for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank che

31、cks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described as the written word.Yet todays kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and clearly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的字跡) of young people whove been typing

32、on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help ones score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. And dont forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as computers go down when power goes out.Then how to imp

33、rove the handwriting? Well, with a few simple steps you can improve your handwriting.Position the pen. You should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb, then rest it near the first knuckle (指節(jié)) of the middle finger. The rest of your fingers should be curled (卷曲) under your hand and your

34、hand should remain relaxed.Evaluate your writing. Make changes to your letters till you like how they look.Take your time. Speed is bound to make your writing messylooking.Practise. Practise it a lot; its not enough to do it once and hope for the best. It has to be something you work at to make grea

38、lating the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), according to a new, largescale study, highlighting growing criticism of Silicon Valleys datacollection efforts. “This is a market failure，” said Serge Egelman, a coauthor of the study. “What we have uncovered points out basic enforcement(執(zhí)行

39、) work that needs to be done.”The potential violations were abundant and came in several forms, according to the study. More than 1，000 childrens apps collected identifying information from kids using tracking software whose terms explicitly forbid their use for childrens apps. The researchers also

40、said nearly half the apps fail to always use standard security measures to transmit sensitive data over the Web, suggesting a violation of reasonable datasecurity measures laid out by COPPASome of the apps in question included Disneys “Wheres My Water？”， Gamelofts “Minion Rush” and Duolingo, a langu

41、age learning app. The findings also suggested that app creators that had been officially recognized as COPPAcompliant(遵守) were no better than any of the other app developers at protecting childrens privacy.Disney argued that the study doesnt claim to identify any actual violations. “Protecting child

42、rens online privacy is very important to us and we are confident that our practices comply with the law，” the company said. “We have a sound COPPA compliance program, and we maintain strict data collection and use policies for Disney apps created for children and families.”Gameloft announced that ch

43、ildrens privacy is of “utmost importance” and is investigating the issue. “We have a very strict datacollection policy at Gameloft and always make sure that we are compliant with protection laws，” the company said.Duolingo did not respond to requests for comment.Although Google stated that “We are t

44、aking the researchers report very seriously and looking into their findings”， critics of Googles app platform say the company has profited greatly from advances in datatracking technology. “Google has basically looked the other way while it was able to generate revenues off of childrens apps，” said

45、Jeffrey Chester, the executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy. “The new, alarming report is further evidence that Google is thumbing_its_nose_at the only federal online privacy law that we have.”1、How did companies respond to the accusation of violating COPPA?ADisney claimed to strictl

48、lk about holidays, my mother teases my sister and me about how we “make out like robbers.” She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the. festivals of lights. Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother teases us, I do not mind getting two sets of gi

49、fts!Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month. which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families. we light a menorah and say a prayer each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition tor my sister and me to do hot

50、 and cold, for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gift, our parents say hot and when we walk further away, they say cold. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually sta

51、ys for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives.Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin(October / November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja, or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity

52、, the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water. In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas. My family just places a few candles outside We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activi
