It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable(不自在) when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don"t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children"s trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected. When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it. Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people"s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That"s why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy. Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say "yes" to wha t you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents" control. If you plan to control your life, you"d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do. |

A survey (调查)by an international temporary service agency found that US managers believe that people with a sense of humour do better in their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humour. In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better. The survey went on to point out that the results suggested that a sense of humour may help lighthearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, what"s more, it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues. Why? It seems that those with a sense of humour are better communicators and better team players. Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humour could help employees release tension. Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humour helps us think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry or depressed. According to Dr. Trice"s research,sparing time to laugh can help us get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat. If humour is really so important, then why don"t we use it more often on the job? Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace. However,it is important to realize that some humour is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at the wrong time. |
1. Most people think a sense of humour can ________. |
A. help us to do our work better B. make us have a rich life C. make us pleased with our work D. help us to make more friends |
2. Many people don"t use humour more often in the workplace because ________. |
A. they like keeping silent when working B. they don"t know the positive effects of humour C. they think they should obey the rules D. they don"t like joking or laughing |
3. A person without a sense of humour is easier ________. |
A. to feel surprised B. to get along with C. to be worried D. to be successful |
4. Which is probably the best title of the article? |
A. People with a Sense of Humour B. Humour Is Important in the Workplace C. Humourous and Humourless D. Everyone Likes Humour |

You don"t show your secret personality when you are awake because you can control your behavior. 1 In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their positions.
