Fun is, in fact, a word heard far more frequently in families today than in the past, when "duty'' and "responsibility" were often the words used.
Parents today are more youthful in appearance and attitudes. Their clothes and hair-styles are more casual, helping to bridge the divide. Those who are athletically inclined also enjoy Rollerblading, snowboarding, and rock-climbing with their children.
For the past three years, Kathy and Phil Dalby have spent at least one evening a week at a climbing gym with their three children. "It's great to be able to work together," Mrs Dalby says. "We discuss various climbs and where the hard parts are. Sometimes that leads to other Conversations. We're definitely closer."
A popular movement of parent effectiveness training in the 1970s has helped to reshape generational roles. The philosophy encourages children to describe their feelings about various situations. As a result, says Robert Billingham, a family-studies professor at Indiana University, "Parents and children began talking to each other in ways they had not before."
On the plus side, he adds, these conversations made parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to be aware of.
But Professor Billingham also sees a downside: Many parents started making decisions based on what their child wanted. "The power shifted to children. Parents said, 'I have to focus on making my child happy', as opposed to 'I have to act as a parent most appropriately'."
Other changes are occurring as the ranks of working mothers grow. Time-short parents encourage children's independence, making them more responsible for themselves. "They'll say, 'We trust you to make the right decisions' (whether they're ready to assume the responsibility or not) ,"says Billingham.
The self-esteem movement of the past quarter-century has also affected the family dynamics (原動(dòng)力). Some parents worry that if they tell their child no, it will hurt the child's self-esteem.

【小題1】D
【小題2】A
【小題3】C
【小題4】D
【小題5】A
解析試題分析：本文主要介紹了現(xiàn)代父母親越來(lái)越重視與孩子的交流，未來(lái)這種代溝將會(huì)逐漸縮小，同時(shí)文章從三個(gè)方面進(jìn)行闡述說(shuō)明引起這種變化的原因。
【小題1】推斷題。從第2段可知，現(xiàn)在的父母親在外表和態(tài)度方面都很年青化、開明化。這樣有助于在父母和孩子之間搭建起溝通的橋梁。可知父母與孩子之間關(guān)系的趨勢(shì)是代溝會(huì)變得縮小，并更尊重他們的孩子。故選D
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)題。從文中第四段第一句；第七段第一句；第八段第一句可知，只有A沒有對(duì)父母和孩子關(guān)系改變方面作貢獻(xiàn)。故選A
【小題3】推斷題。從第七段可知，父母親鼓勵(lì)孩子們獨(dú)立，為自己的行為負(fù)責(zé)。從whether they're ready to assume the responsibility or not .可知Billingham認(rèn)為他們并不知道孩子是否準(zhǔn)備來(lái)承擔(dān)責(zé)任。故對(duì)這些父母親，他的態(tài)度是不同意他們的。故選C
【小題4】推斷題。最后與段講到一些父母親擔(dān)心如果他們對(duì)孩子說(shuō)不，會(huì)打擊孩子的自尊心，所以接下來(lái)應(yīng)該講如何來(lái)有一個(gè)比較平衡的態(tài)度來(lái)處理如何對(duì)待孩子自尊心問題，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)D更符合。
【小題5】主旨題。文中主要講了如今父母親與孩子之間的有了更好的關(guān)系，并且父母親正積極來(lái)處理好這種關(guān)系，所以結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，應(yīng)提到父母親與孩子們之間的關(guān)系這一主題，故選A
考點(diǎn)：說(shuō)明文
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文有一定難度。在答題過(guò)程中要注重理解文章作者的真實(shí)意圖，在回答第一題這樣的題目時(shí)需要學(xué)生結(jié)合作者所舉得例子來(lái)進(jìn)行全面的判斷。對(duì)于此類型題目，如果一時(shí)文章中心把握不住時(shí)，可以通過(guò)查看題目，通過(guò)題目的選項(xiàng)也可以幫助我們來(lái)答題。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2011-2012學(xué)年度江蘇省揚(yáng)州市安宜高中高二上學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解
The right to pursue happiness is issued to us all with our birth, but no one seems quite sure what it is.
A holy man in India may think 
that happiness is in himself. It is in needing nothing from outside himself. If wanting nothing, he lacks nothing. We westerners, however, are taught that the more we have from outside ourselves, the happier we will be, and then we are made to want. We are even told it is our duty to want. Advertising, one of our major industries, exists not to satisfy these desires but to create them---and to create them faster than any man’s money in his pocket can satisfy them. Here, obviously someone is trying to buy the dream of happiness and spending millions upon millions every year in the attempt. Clearly the happiness-market is not running out of customers.
I doubt the holy man’s idea of happiness, and I doubt the dreams of the happiness-market, too. Whatever happiness may be, I believe, it is neither in having nothing nor in having more, but in changing --- in changing the world and mankind into pure states.
To change is to make efforts to deal with difficulties. As Yeats, a great Irish poet once put it, happiness we get for a lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties.
It is easy to understand. We even demand difficulty for the fun in our games. We demand it because without difficulty there can be no game. And a game is a way of making something hard for the fun of it. The rules of the game are man-made difficulties. When the player ruins the fun, he always does so by refusing to play by the roles. It is easier to win at chess if you are free, at your pleasure, to cast away all the rules, but the fun is in winning within the rules.
The same is true to happiness. The buyers and sellers at the happiness-market seem to have lost their sense of the pleasure of difficulty. Heaven knows what they are playing,
but it seems a dull game. And the Indian holy man seems dull to us, I suppose, because he seems to be refusing to play anything at all.
The western weakness may be in the dreams that happiness can be bought while eastern weakness may be in the idea that there is such a thing as perfect happiness in man himself. Both of them forget a basic fact: no difficulty, no happiness.
【小題1】Who shares the same idea of happiness with the author?
| A．The Indian holy man | B．The great Irish poet Yeats |
| C．Advertisers | D．The buyers and sellers at the happiness-market |
| A．It means a place in which people can buy things happily |
| B．It means a market which lacks happy customers |
| C．It means a pure state for the world and mankind |
| D．It means a market where people try to buy happiness with money. |
| A．The Indian holy man is much happier than westerner. |
| B．The westerners understand happiness better than the Indian holy man. |
| C．There is no fun without playing by the rules |
| D．Both the eastern weakness and western weakness are the same. |
