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 is quite different from that in which their parents grew up. Therefore, they often hold different interests. Young people want to do what they like, while older people often interfere when they think what young people are doing is wrong.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. The openness and consideration will probably result in a much better relationship between parents and their children.ExplanationStudy of words and expressions in Text A(50min)Vocabulary:1. generation n. 一代，一代人2. gap n.间隙；隔阂；差距Phrase： 1) the gap between imports and exports 进出口的差额 2) generation gap 代沟3.mean vt. 意思是；意欲，打算Phrase： 1) mean to do something 打算做某事 2) mean doing something 意味着做某事Meaning n. 意思，含义Meaningful adj. 有意义的，意味深长的4. fear vt. 害怕，担心 n.害怕，恐惧Phrase：be in fear of 为而提心吊胆5. plague n. 瘟疫；天灾6. major adj. 主要的，n.主课，专业 vi. 主修，专攻Majority n. 多数，大多数7. corporation n. 公司Synonym：company8. concerned adj. 关切的，担心的Phrase：be concerned about 关心，操心 be concerned with 有关，涉及9. dorm n. 宿舍10. save vt. 节省；解救Saving n. 节约，节俭Savings n. 储蓄，存款 a savings account 存折11. sake n.缘故，理由Phrase： for the sake of 为了的缘故12. exaggerate vt. 夸大，夸张Exaggerator n. 言过其实的人Exaggeration n. 夸大，夸张13. collect vt. 收集，收缴Collector n. 收集人；收款员Collection n. 收集收款Collective adj. 集合的；集体的Collectivism n. 集体主义14. charge v. 收费 n.费用Phrase： free of charge 免费15. mess n. 混乱 vi.瞎弄Phrase：in a mess 一团糟 Make a mess of 把弄糟Messy adj. 凌乱的，脏乱的16. priority n.优先Prior 优先的17. vacation n. 假期，休假Synonym: holiday n. 假期Vacation n.职业18. clean up 打扫干净，整理19. make (the) bed 铺床20.make (a) difference 有影响，很重要21. for sb.s sake 为了某人的缘故22. care about 关心，对感兴趣23. bring up 养育Language points:1.
