Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all. What has gone wrong? Why has the
19、 generation gap appeared? One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to many people that their parents like, and often to continue the family occupati
20、on. Parents often expect their children to do better than they do, to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap. Finally, the high speed of s
21、ocial changes deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of use overnight(隔夜 ). 36 According to the passage, children today expect their parents to _. （ A） give them more independence （ B） choose a go
22、od job for them （ C） live together with them （ D） make more money 37 Parents often hope that their children will _. （ A） make as much money as they do （ B） be more successful than they are （ C） choose jobs according to their own will （ D） avoid doing what their parents cant do 38 The generation gap

25、ap Between the Young and the Old （ D） Difference Between Traditional Culture and Modem Knowledge Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 40 For some employers, the policy of lifelong employment is particularly important
26、 because it means that they can put money and effort into their staff(职员 ) training and make them loyal to the company. What they do is to select young people who have potential(潜能 ) and who can be trained. They then give the young people the kinds of skills that will make them suitable employees fo
27、r the company. In other words, they adjust their training to their particular needs. One recently employed graduate says that she is receiving a great deal of valuable training from the company. “This means that I will be a loyal employee,“ she says, “And it also means that the company will want to
28、keep me. I am an important investment for them. So the policy is a good one because it benefits both the employer and the employee.“ Recently, however, attitudes towards lifelong employment are beginning to change. Employees are slowly beginning to accept the idea that lifelong employment is not alw
29、ays in their best interest and that changing firms can have career advantages. 41 The purpose of lifelong employment is to _. （ A） adjust the needs of the company to its employees （ B） make employees loyal to their company （ C） select the best skilled young employees （ D） keep the skilled staff sati
