A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.
In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they
discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.

If you ask some people,”How did you learn English so well?”You may get a surprising answer:“ In my sleep!”
There are people who have taken part in one of recent experiments to test “Learn---While---Sleep”methods, which are now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects, of which English is only one.
Specialists say that this “sleep----study”method speeds language learning greatly. They say that the average person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the period during the day---and this does not affect his rest in any way. A word of warning, however, sleep teaching will only strengthen in your mind what you have studied already while you are awake.
In an experiment, lessons were broadcast over the radio. Each lesson lasted twelve hours—from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the student awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby(催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again into his sleeping ear. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson. The soft songs sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 a.m. his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.
6. Compared with other methods of learning, the Learn---While---You---Sleep method is____c__.
a. slower
b. very tiring
c. quicker
d. very simple
7. By this method, one ___c___.
a. starts to learn a new lesson in sleep
b. learns how to sleep better
c. is made to remember his lessons in sleep
d. can get more knowledge over the radio
8. In the experiment, the first part of the lesson was given___d___.
a. around midnight
b. after lullabies were broadcast
c. all through the twelve hours
d. while the student was awake
9. Before each lesson finishes, the student has to ___d____.
a. get up and take breakfast
b. be wakened by a loud noise
c. listen to the lesson again in sleep
d. review the lesson by himself
10. The “sleep---study”method is being tried in many countries to teach__d__.
a. English
b. grammar and vocabulary
c. languages
d. a number of subjects
二. 介词填空: （按第2册课本第3-4单元课文内容填入适当的介词）
11. _In ___ other words(换句话说)，if you get paid once a month, then you have to budget accordingly so that you won’t run out
of money before the end of the month.
12. If you get paid every two weeks or every week, figure
___out___(计算出，合计出) which of your bills have to be paid on each payday.
13. The bosses should be rather unhappy as many male office workers like to keep an eye on__(密切注视)important NBA games via the Internet.
14. It’s handy to have something in the freezer and less costly __in____ the long run (从长远来看)than making a quick trip to the store after work and picking up only what you need for that night’s meal.
15. A good way to begin the budgeting process is to sort _out__ (挑选出，整理好)all of your legal and financial papers and file them so you can find what you need when you need it.
