23、 not rebelling means _. (a) We dont rebel at all (b) we do rebel, but not in the way students did in the 1960s (c) it seems that we are rebelling, but in fact we arent ( In the context, students parents rebelled a lot and that generation is nostalgic about this.

Decide whi

27、ch ideas they have in common, and which passage is more critical of todays students. They are both about student life and experience. Both passages mention events of the 1960s or later and say something about revolution or protest. They both include nostalgia for the past (from the writer or from st

28、udents parents) and both find something exciting about being a student (freedom and stimulation or the ideas of postmodernism).Exercises 第22页/共26页 Both the passages have critical points about todays students. In Passage 1, the writer says students do not rebel or feel passion; they see study only as

29、 a means to an end. In Passage 2, the writer points out that students are cool and sleepy, not radical or rebelling. The second passage mitigates the criticism by the softening comment at the end that todays students are writing the revolution in technology, whereas the first passage ends by lamenting that todays students dont feel the excitement of change. On balance, the first passage is more critical. Exercises 第23页/共26页2 Say what you think todays students in China have in
