It is especially considered as causing a lack of communication and understanding between the two generations.There is apparent genera
11、tion gap between the young and the old nowadays. The younger generation is essentially different from the older generation. The young people live in a new age completely different from the old. They have grown up more happily and are not so dependent on adults as their parents were. They are better
12、educated and enjoy more freedom. They easily accept new things and new ideas. They are more concerned with the present and the future, whereas the world of the older people has vanished, and they do not understand all of the problems of the modern world. They grew up in a world which was different f
13、rom todays world. They often talk about “the good old days“ and tend to assert old things and ideas. They dont like to feel that their beliefs and values are being questioned and threatened. They would like the young to learn from them, but the young refuse to accept their values. They cannot unders
14、tand why the young complain about the conventional things and old systems and why they want to make changes in these things to fit the needs of modern society, As a result, the old people think the young are not what they were, and most young people are unable to learn from the parents and elders wh
15、o they will never be.In order to reconcile the differences, both generation should realize that the world has changed, and that new responses are necessary for many of the problems of society. Besides, some forms of organizations should be established to help the young and the old exchange their ide
16、as and strengthen their mutual understanding so as to bridge the gap.21 One important reason for the difference existing between the young and the old is that _.（A）they live in different ages（B） they live in different countries（C） they live in separate planets（D）they hate each other 22 What does “th

20、conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working harder than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a
21、 short lunch hour in company lunchroom. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the “typical“ Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than the people of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he los
22、es to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “ass
23、embly-line life“ will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life - to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the
24、river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe?Since the late 1950s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gains. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are young, especially university students. They are concerned with th

39、 made up of three separate, but related, worlds: the Upper World, the Lower World, and This World. In the last there lived humans, most animals, and all plants.This World, a round island resting on the surface of waters, was suspended from the sky by four cords attached to the island at the four car
40、dinal points of the compass. Lines drawn to connect the opposite points of the compass, from north to south and from east to west, intersected This World to divide it into four wedge-shaped segments.
