【主旨大意】本文主要讲述了当今普遍存在的代沟问题，并非孩子不同意父母的观点，其实是在父母和所有年龄的孩子之间都存在的，消除这一问题的方法很多：不要和父母争吵，而是平静地交流；生气的时候别去交流，等平静了心情再去交谈；与父母的价值观不统一，也很正常，互相理解这是关键。
46. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。由文中开始第二句“Communication(沟通) is a problem for parents and children of all ages.”可见：父母和各个年龄的孩子都有沟通方面的问题，所以选择答案A。
47. 【解析】选B。推理判断题。阅读短文整个第二段：不要和父母吵架，生气的时候别接近父母，如果你对父母大声吵嚷，他们不会考虑你的想法的，你生气时，也不会表达好自己的，这时要清楚你自己为何不高兴，然后考虑你要和父母说什么？如果你认为目前不便于表达，也可试着用书信。由此可见答案A, C, D, 都和这里正好背离，所以选择答案B。
48. 【解析】选B。词义猜测题。词义猜测要结合语义、语境和上下文，上句“你生气时，也不会表达好自己的”，下句“这时要清楚你自己为何不高兴”，这里是：到某地去“??”，不会是“走开”“生气”或也不仅仅是“使自己高兴”，而是“使你平静下来，放松一下”才和上下文衔接，所以选择答案B。
49. 【解析】选C。主旨大意题。通读短文第五自然段，领略大意，你和父母的价值观会有不同，但是，你可以与他们交流你的价值观，他们明白了后也有利于他们清楚你的生活目标，也就是只有答案C的说法复合，所以选择答案C。
50. 【解析】选D。主旨大意题。通读全文，不难看出，从第二段开始就是讲述的“Here are some suggestions for you to bridge generation gap(代沟).”消除代沟的一些建议，所以选择答案D。

In Russia if you give flowers as presents, you have to give an odd number of them (one. Three, five, etc.) because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.
