Step1Step1Backgroud Information------ Generation Gap 1

Backgroud Information------ Generation Gap 1

In modern society, there is often a lack of understanding between

Parents and children. Parents often dislike what their children

think and do, while children often complain that their parents

cannot understand them. This is what we call the generation gap.

There are reasons for the existence of the generation gap.

Firstly, the environment in which young people now

live in is quite different from that in which their

parents grew up. Secondly, people of different ages have

different interests.

Leading-inLeading-inStep1Step1

However, the generation gap can be bridged as long as both parents and children are willing

to make an effort. They may talk openly and honestly and tell each other

what they think about certain problems. They should be considerate enough

to realize that each generation has its own advantages.

Clean Your Room1

Clean Your Room1

1 You don’t really feel the generation gap until a son or daughter comes home from college for

Christmas.

2 “Nancy, you’ve been home from school for three days now. Why don’t you clean up your room?”

3 “We don’t have to clean up our rooms at college, Mother.”

4 “That’s very nice, Nancy. But while you’re in the house, your father and I would like you to clean up

your room.”


Text ReadingText ReadingStep2Step2

5 “ What difference does it make? It’s my room.”

6 “I know, dear, and it really doesn’t mean that much to me. But your father has a great fear of the plague. He said this morning if it is going to start anywhere in this country, it’s going to start in your room.”

7 “ Mother, you people aren’t interested in anything that’s relevant. Do you realize how the major corporations are polluting our environment?”


Text ReadingText ReadingStep2Step2

8 “Your father and I are very worried about it. But right

now we’re more concerned with the pollution in your bedroom. You haven’t made your bed since you came home.”

9 “I never make it up at the dorm.”

10 “Of course you don’t, and I’m sure the time you save goes toward your education. But we still have these old-fashioned ideas about making beds in the morning, and we can’t shake them. Since you’re home for such a short time, why don’t you do it for our sake?”


Text ReadingText ReadingStep 2Step 2

11 “Mother, I’m grown up now. Why do you have to treat me like a child?”

12 “We’re not treating you like a child. But it’s very hard for us to realize you’re an adult when you throw all your clothes on the floor.”

13 “I haven’t thrown all my clothes on the floor. Those are just the clothes I wore yesterday.”

14 “Forgive me. I exaggerated. Well, how about the dirty dishes and empty soft-drink cans on your desk? Are you collecting them for a science project?”



15 “Mother, you don’t understand us. You people were brought up to have clean rooms. But our generation doesn’t care about things like that. It’s what you have in your head that counts.”

16 “ No one respects education more than your father and I do, particularly at the prices they’re charging.

But we can’t see how living in a mess can improve your mind.”



17 “ That’s because of your priorities. You would rather have me make up my bed and pick up my clothes than become a free spirit who thinks for myself. All right, I’ll clean up my room if it means that much to you. But I want you to know you’ve ruined my vacation.”


打扫你的房间

只有当儿女从大学回来过圣诞时，父母们才真正感到代沟的存在。

“ 南茜，你从学校回来都三天了，怎么连房间都不打扫？”

“ 老妈啊，我们在学校里从来不打扫的。”

“ 很好，但那是在学校啊，南茜。在家里，我和你爸爸都希望你能把自己的房间打扫干净。”


“在学校和在家有什么不一样呢？那是我的房间。”

“ 我知道，亲爱的，这对妈妈来说并不那么重要，可是你爸爸非常害怕瘟疫。他今天早上说，如果我们国家真有地方爆发瘟疫的话，肯定是从你的房间开始。”

“ 妈，你们这些人该关心的不关心。你们知道那些大公司是怎样在污染我们的环境吗？”


Text ScanningText ScanningStep 2Step 2

“我和你爸爸当然担心了，但现在我们更担心你房间的污染，你回来后还没整理过床铺呢。”

“ 我在学校宿舍里从来不整理床铺。”

“ 我知道你不，而且相信你一定是把省下的时间用来学习了。可我们仍然抱有这样的老观念，就是早上要叠被子，而且摆脱不了。你在家住的时间也不长，为什么不能为了我们把床整理一下呢？”


“妈，我都长大了，你们怎么非得把我当小孩子？”

“ 我们没有再把你当小孩子看待。可是你把衣服都乱扔在地板上，就很难让我们觉得你已经长大了。”

“ 我没有把所有的衣服都扔在地板上，地板上的只是昨天穿过的。”

“ 那原谅妈妈夸大其辞。那你书桌上那些脏盘子、空饮料罐又怎么解释？难道是收集起来做科学实验的？”


“妈，你们不理解我们。你们的父母从小就教育你们要打扫房间，可我们这一代人从来不把这种事当回事。重要的是一个人想些什么事。”

“ 没有人能比我和你爸爸更重视教育的了，即使现在收费那么高我们都没在乎。

可是，我们就不明白，生活在一团糟的环境中又怎么能提升你的思想境界呢？”


“那是因为你们觉得有些东西比其他事情更重要。你们宁可让我整理床铺、收拾衣服，也不愿让我成为一个思想自由、独立自主的人。好吧，如果打扫房间对你们来说这么重要的话，那我就打扫。但我想让你们知道，你们毁了我的美好假期。”
