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 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 appeared 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 parentchild activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue int0 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 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 the 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 something 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.”46. the underlined word gulf in para.3 most probably means _.a. interest b. difference c. distance d. separation47. which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?a. parents help their children develop interests in more activities.b. parents put more trust in their childrens abilities.c. parents share more interests with their children.d. parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.48. the change in todays parent-child relationship is _.a. new equality between parents and childrenb. more confusion among parentsc.1ess respect for parents from childrend. more strictness and authority on the part of parents49. by saying “todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side.” the author means that todays parents _.a. can set a limit to the change b. fail to take the change seriouslyc. follow the trend of the change d. have little difficulty adjusting to the change50. the purpose of the passage is to _.a. describe the difficulties todays parents have met withb. suggest the ways to handle the parentchild relationshipc. compare todays parentchild relationship with that in the pastd. discuss the development of the parentchild relationshipbthe national gallerydescription:the national gallery is the british national art museum built on the north side of european art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by renoir and van gogh. the older collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modern works in the east wing are most easily reached from trafalgar square by a ground floor entrancelayout:the modern sainsbury wing on the western side of the building houses 13th-to15th-century paintings, and artists include duccio, uccello, van eyck, lippi, mantegna, botticelli and memling.the main west wing houses 16th-century paintings, and artists include leonardo da vinci, cranach, michelangelo, raphael, bruegel, bronzino, titan and veronest.the north wing houses 17th-century paintings, and artists include caravaggio, rubens, poussin, van dyck, velazquez, claude and vermeer.the east wing houses 18th-to early 20th-century paintings, and artists include canaletto, goya, turner, constable, renoir and van goghopening hours:the gallery is open every day from 10am to 6pm (fridays 10anm to 9pm) and is free, but charges apply to some special exhibitions.getting there:nearest underground stations: charing cross (2-minute walk). leicester square (3-minute walk), embankment (7-minute walk), and piccadilly circus(8-minute walk).51. in which centurys collection can you see religious paintings?
