There was a boy who was sent by his parents to a boarding school（寄宿學校）．Before he was sent away, the boy was the     1     student in his class．He was at the top in every exam．

    But the boy changed after     2     home and studying in the boarding school．His grades started to     3   ．He hated being in a     4   ．He was lonely all the time．And there were especially dark times when he felt like committing suicide（自殺）．All of this was because he felt no one loved him．

    His parents started to     5      the boy．But they even did not know what was wrong

with him．So his father decided to go to the school and    6    him．

happiness．You're my life．"

     These words caused the boy's eyes to be filled with tears．He hugged（擁抱） his father．They

didn't say     11     to each other for a long time．

     Now the boy had everything he wanted．He knew there was someone on the earth who cared for him deeply．And today this young man is in university at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him     12    ．

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all the 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 with your parents．Don't talk to your parents when you are angry．Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you shout at them．And you can't express yourself well if you are angry．Go to some place 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（妥協(xié)）．Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something．You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept（接受） each other．Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something．If that happens, it is especially important to show love and respect（尊敬） to them．Showing respect will keep your relationship strong．

Talk about your values（價值觀、看法）．The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own．Tell your parents what you care about, and why．Understanding values might help them see your purpose in life．

2．The phrase "cool off" in this passage probably means         ．
