It is natural for young people, at times, to blame their parents for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained (抱怨) that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems, and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often look down upon their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt, when young.
For example, young people like doing things without careful consideration: it is one of their ways of showing that they can accept a challenge (挑战). 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.
So my advice to you is this: when you want to borrow the family car or get your mother to mend something for you, you will have better success if you can possibly ask in advance.
Young people often annoy their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not the main reason. They feel cut off from the adult world. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music and entertainers, or vocabulary, clothes and hairstyles annoy their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are better, at least in a small way, and they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you don't obey because you do not want your parents to accept what you do. If they did accept, it looks as if you are tricking (辜负) your own age group. But in that case, you are supposing that you are the underdog: you can't win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough, after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation (合作) can be part of the plan. You can impress others, especially parents, with your sense of responsibility, so that they will give you the right to do what you want to do. 56. The writer is mainly talking to ____.

You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. But in fact, almost everyone can invent. It's just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they don't let them slip away.
For example, the inventors of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself.
Like Cochrane's, most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem. Start by looking at what is wrong with things you see now and ask people around if they remember ever saying, \in need of improvement. The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. So think of many, varied, and unusual ways. You can often come up with a solution to a problem by looking at it from a different angle thinking about it in a new way.
Most inventions are not completely new. They do not come out of nowhere, but of things or ideas that already exist. (存在). And the hardest part of inventing, even for a lot of inventors, is coming up with a problem and finding a solution. Once you have an idea, you can always get help building your invention.
This problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world? 64. Can most people invent?
