1 . 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.
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t try to talk about something with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t listen to you if you are shouting at them. Go somewhere else to cool off. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you think you can’t speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter to them.
Try to understand your parents. Your parents may think differently from you. Tell your parents what you think, what you care about and why. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. Put yourself in their shoes and you may find a better way out.
Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to an agreement. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
It is also important to show your love to your parents. Try to do some small things at home, like making them a cup of tea, helping do some chores, and so on. It helps to keep your relationship closer. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try.

8 . Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you control yourself, but when you’re sleeping, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a lot of opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balance personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried ,but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think even if it makes people angry.

9 . Gifts and packaging play a crucial role in providing an income and educating visitors.
After enjoying a museum or art gallery, Milly Zi, a management adviser in Beijing, usually visits the souvenir shop to buy something to remember the visit. About a decade ago, Zi was attracted by a roll of sticky tape in Taipei Palace Museum. The tape, designed in red, yellow and white, had four Chinese characters making a phrase: zhen zhi dao le-a sentence of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, meaning “I am aware.” “The product has history and culture in it,” Zi said, “And it has aroused my interest to learn more about the history behind them.”
The latest digital technology is also helping museums to be more creative. In October 2021, the Hubei Provincial Museum released 10,000 digital copies of the sword of Gou Jian, king of the state of Yue during the Warring States period, a famous cultural relic on display in the museum. Its popularity can be gauged by how quickly it sold out. “All the copies were sold in just three seconds,” said Wang Xianfu, deputy head of the museum.
Digital collections go beyond the restrictions of time and space, making museums more open, interesting and modern. “It’s a new experience, a combination of civilization and modern high-tech,” Wang said.
“The popularity of digital cultural relics has resulted in more museums exploring the concept. Digitized cultural relics are a new form of cultural creative products, which can be sold, purchased, collected and used.” Ma Xiaoli said, head of the museum in Henan.
“I think museums have two functions-to remember and to spread Chinese culture,” said YuLin, manager of the Development Department at Ant Group, “I hope new technologies will promote Chinese culture in a way the younger generation is happy to accept.”

10 . Many students study by reading their notes and textbooks over and over again. But studies show there are more effective ways to help you study smarter.
Don’t just reread.
Find examples. Abstract concepts can be hard to understand. It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something.
Dig deeper. It’s hard to remember countless facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about? Why do they matter? Psychologists call this elaboration(深究). It’s taking class material and asking many how and why questions about it.
Practice more. Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills.
As a teen, Cynthia Nebel studied by reading her textbooks, worksheets and notebooks. “Over and over and over again,” recalls this psychologist at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. Now, she adds, “we know that’s one of the most common bad study skills that students have.”
| A．Make a budget and save it. |
| B．Make a plan and stick to it. |
| C．The same should go for learning. |
| D．However, not all can apply to students. |
| E．In other words, don’t just accept facts at face value. |
| F．Sadly, reading books and notes repeatedly is common for many students. |
| G．For instance, sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid. |
