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.”

A. Unacceptable. B. Awful. C. Funny. D. Common.

Why is it easy for young children to learn language? Part of the answer is that children have so many needs.They have to make their meeds known and they are always watching the effect of what they say and trying new ways of getting what they want.Another part of the answer is that children are not, as older people sometimes are, fixed in their ways of living.When they are taken about from one country to another they change easily from one language to another.older people are more fixed in the ways.They have been hearing and talking one language for a long time.Their ways of hearing and making sounds and of putting words together are like the rails a train goes on.They have been up and down their lines of talk and thought too many times to change them easily.A child is free in his ways.He is more like an airplane or, better, like a bird; he is free to go in any direction he wants.He is free to hear sounds as they are and make them as he hears them.He is free to put new words together in new ways in speaking a new language.
