听力原文:M: Are you close to your parents?
W: Yeah, we're close. My father and I have always been close. Sometimes my mom and I don't really see eye to eye. What about you?
M: Well, I think my parents definitely don't understand me. My mother always says I'm perfect while my father often criticizes me for doing things wrong.
W: That's interesting. Do you think that's just a generational thing?
M: Well, I don't know. My parents grew up in the 60's. But they didn't seem to know much about their times.
W: So they were kept away from all the big social activities?
M: Yeah. They grew up in a small town and neither of them knew anything about politics, even though my father's father was a local judge and lawyer.
W: My parents grew up in the 60's too, but my dad taught physics at the university and my mom ran a small bookstore in town. I guess they were the kind of people who were open to current events.
M: I'm jealous. Sometimes I feel a lot more educated than my parents, which is fine, but also uncomfortable at times.
W: I can imagine.
M: They just don't understand some things. They haven't experienced life in the same way I have.
W: You mean the traveling you've done?
M: Yeah. My dad thinks I ran away from home because I hated him or something ridiculous like that. I just wanted to see the world.
W: I told my dad once that I'd find a way to study in America and then live there forever.
M: My dad always tells me that I'd be really homesick if I studied at a European university.
W: And then you have to remind him that Europe is only 10 hours away by plane.

As school budgets get smaller, a growing number of schools in the US are selling advertising space on lockers and buses and in gyms and cafeterias. It is an easy way for schools to make money. And ads may provides relief for parents exhausted by making each donations to support schools.
While parents can always turn off the television or the computer, they can’t keep advertising out of schools. This isn’t the first time the issue has come up. For example, a news program for teens has been criticized for including ads in its 12-month classroom broadcasts.
Parents groups successfully fought a plan by a company called Bus Radio to put music and ads into school buses.
But now things are different. Just last month, Los Angeles approved a plan to allow companies to advertise in the district’s schools. Officials say the plan could provide as much as $ 18 million for the school.
In St. Francis, Minn, school recently agreed to cover 10% to 15% of their lockers with ads. Edward Saxton, a teacher in the school, say, “So far, parents are accepting this as a way to bring in needed money. The money pays for programs like arts, sports, and music. Parents don’t like to see programs getting cut. Neither do I.. Besides, schools are thinking about the effects on kids all the time.”
However, Susan Linn, an educational experts, says, “Kids have already seen enough ads on TV, in magazines and on products they use daily. School is no place for advertisements at all.”
Reader, what about you? Would you rather help run yet another school fundraiser, or expose your child to ads on lockers and buses? Is keeping ads out of schools worth raising taxes, or increasing your own cash support for schools through donations?
