    Almost all of us have unpleasant habits. We all want to get rid of (擺脫) them,but we don't know proper ways. Here's some advice:

   ◆Write down all the reasons why you want to stop some habits. Look at the reasons very often.

   ◆It's clever to do something else when you want to stop your bad habits. If you get angry easily,for example,you can go out for a walk.

   ◆Decide what you^l do to reward your- self if you really get rid of your bad habits.

   ◆If you get too heavy,keep junk food out of your house.

   ◆Bad habits develop over years,so you can't get rid of them very soon. So you should be patient.

   ◆Don’t be afraid to ask others for support. You can talk to your friends,family or other people. When you talk to them,they might be able to provide some advice that you can’t get from yourself. 

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成表格。

   Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents,however,it is not true.

   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 to bridge the generation gap (代溝) .

   Don’t argue (爭辯) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment,try writing a letter.

   Try to reach a compromise (和解) . Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle,but only drove it on certain days.

   Of course,your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations,it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬 ) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

   Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about,and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

   A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
