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 didnt 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 didnt seem to make much difference. ” “Our children grew up in a world at war. They didnt know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didnt 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. Theyre making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”59.

What is the writers attitude towards the generation gap? A. Unacceptable. B. Awful. C. Funny. D. Common.D Why is it easy for young children to learn language? Part of the answer is that children have so many needsThey 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 wantAnother part of the answer is that children are not, as older people sometimes are, fixed in their ways of livingWhen they are taken about from one country to another they change easily from one language to anotherolder people are more fixed in the waysThey have been hearing and talking one language for a long timeTheir ways of hearing and making sounds and of putting words together are like the rails a train goes onThey have been up and down their lines of talk and thought too many times to change them easilyA child is free in his waysHe is more like an airplane or, better, like a bird; he is free to go in any direction he wantsHe is free to hear sounds as they are and make them as he hears themHe is free to put new words together in new ways in speaking a new language63Why do the children learn language easily?
