We often hear people talking about a generation gap (代沟). The name is new, but the idea is old. Young people and their parents don’t understand each other. The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”

There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened.

“When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference.”

“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.”

“Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They’re making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”

1.The wise man mentioned in the text told people to bury him on his face so that when everything is turned upside down he will ________.

A. lie on his stomach　　　　 B. lie on his back

C. stand quietly　　　　　　 D. sit in peace

2.Which generation did NOT want to do anything to make the world a better one?

I read a newspaper article about a new concept. The idea is simple, but revolutionary: combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents (住户) eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting and gardening. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a hug.

Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. It’s a major problem in many societies.

That’s why inter-generation (代际的) programs are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful actions. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another. One successful scheme in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager who wants to study law.

But it isn’t only the individuals concerned who gain from inter-generational activities. The advantages to society are huge too. If older people can understand and accept the youth of today, there will be less conflict in a community. And we can use the strengths of one generation to help another. Then perhaps getting old won’t be so sad after all.

1.Why does the author mention the newspaper article he read?

A. To argue for a new concept. B. To introduce the topic of the text.

C. To show his interest in the topic. D. To draw our attention to a social problem.

2.What is the purpose of the inter-generational programs?

A. To ask the old to care for the young.

B. To teach the young to respect the old.

C. To bring the old and the young together.

D. To provide a good job opportunity for the young.

3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. The examples of inter-generational activities.

B. The inter-generational programs all over the world.

C. The inter-generational programs’ benefits to individuals.

D. The reasons why inter-generational programs enjoy popularity.

4.What may be the best title for the text?

A. Being old is no more sad.

B. Offer a warm home for the young.

C. A new concept in caring for the old is born.

D. Build bridges between the old and the young.

People have strange ideas about food. For example, the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways.
