twohavetofindawaytoswitchback–andfast.II.CheckYourselfPuttheparagraphsbelowintoEnglish,usingthegivenwordsandexpressions.CheckYourself为什么年轻人要故意听令人不快的音乐，留很奇怪的发型，画很浓的妆，吃恶心的东西呢？许多父母会难以忍受他们的子女的行为。但是这些家长们忘记了他们自己年轻时也曾经做过一模一样的事情，希望能够引起年长的一代对他们的注意。密切关注年轻人的成长并与他们进行有效地交流是消除代沟的最有效的途径。CheckYourselfTask1当父母躺下来听柔和的音乐的时候，年轻人会开大重金属音乐的音量。当父母伸手拿雨伞的时候，年轻人已经冲到雨中去了。boltoutdisgustingdefinitelygetridofhavetoinone’sattemptstooffensivereachforstandturnupweirdwearForyourreferenceCheckYourselfWordsandExpressionstoBeUsedWhentheparentslaylisteningtosomesoftmusic,theyoungtendtoturnuptheheavymetal.Whentheparentsreachforanumbrella,theyoungboltoutintotherain.CheckYourselfTobecontinuedTask1Whydotheyoungpeoplehavetolistentooffensivemusic,wear
