The problem of generation gap exists everywhere across the globe. The problem exists even in the developed countries but it is not experienced very intensely. There are many ways to solve the problems but if unsolved can lead to many other problems.
Problem of generation gap The problem of generation gap is universal and everybody across the globe faces the unchangeable problem. But this problem is experienced intensely in countries like India or Gulf countries where the families live united. Although the families continue to live unite they may be in odd terms with each other. The unity
that exists in a family system is a positive indication but it should not lead to negative consequences.
The problem is experienced due to several reasons which should be properly analyzed.
Generation of our parents Most of our parents were born during the phase of independence and post-independence. The period after independence was critical in India and many people faced economic crisis during this period.
Our parents have personally viewed and experienced the pain of starvation and the hardships involved to earn daily bread. They have compromised most of their desires and strived to bring up their families that suffered from economic crises. They were mere listeners to their parents because they consumed a bread for a day only when their parents labored for long hours. After comprising for a long period they killed most of their burning desires and led an austere life. They began to develop interest towards religious activities and spirituality after they began longing for a settled and an economically stable life. Constant struggle in life led them towards interest in spiritual activities.
people of our generation When we were born rapid changes in economy took place in our nation. When we were growing up, the radical policies of economic liberalization led to a lot of progress in the nation.
The Indian markets began expanding and the riches of India were then discovered. We witnessed a lot of economical and cultural changes around us but they still remained only dreams. The rapid change in the economy but moreover affected the richer segment of the society. We also viewed the rich people in our nation often visiting the places of luxury such as clubs, pubs, restaurants and commuting through splendid bikes.
But neither the people of our generation comprised much in terms of economy and education because our nation was rapidly progressing then. We moderately comprised towards our desires perhaps because our desires did not suit the traditions and culture of our religion.
Kids of this generation The kids of the present generation are born when the technology is operated through the foot.
Today our nation has made tremendous progress in the field of technology and science compared to the yesteryears. Due to the emergence of IT industries in India and the concept of outsourcing
most of the parents earn high income and are able to spend lavishly for the kids. The children are customized to a comfortable life since their childhood and are unable to view the hardships of life. They do not understand the pain their grandparents underwent to earn a degree and daily bread. They know how to operate a laptop and a system by using key commands and innovative software but do not know the dedication involved in the developed of such necessary gadgets.
Reasons for generation gap There are several problems that lead to this conflicting problem. The people of all the three mentioned generations have been brought up in an entire different way.Due to the difference in bringing up, their mental framework differ from each other. Physciological and behavorial patterns are formed on the basis of circumstances one undergoes.
When the people of the different generations meet each other they often are induced to difference in opinion, communication gap, conflicts etc. Due to the difference in mental framework the likes and dislikes also differ from each other. In this way both the parties cannot live in peace with each other and they are unable to respect the likes and opinion of each other. The frequency of thoughts flow from
opposite directions in a parallel manner. When the thought process from the two parties is so different, then
love cannot be expressed even if it exists between the two parties. Both of them are unable to find a proper channel to express their feelings also. in this way gap creates between the two relationships.
Effects of generation gap The problem of generation gap creates negative consequences and the two parties already began to drift with each other emotionally. Generation gap occurs between parents and children or between in-laws. It also occurs between teachers and students but the degree of gap is less because they do not spend much time with each other. This problem leads to communication gap and the two parties are unable to understand the channel for communication.Due to emotional incompatibility arguments over silly matters and conflicts began to occur often frequently. The peace in the premises of the house is disturbed.
In the extreme cases the parties even decide to abandon each other. The children decide to leave the house of the parents due to lack of emotional space constantly. The daughter-in-law may provoke her husband to abandon her mother-in-law for disability to cope up unreasonable demands.
Ways to combat the problem There are no technical solutions to resolve this knotty problem. If you want to resolve the problem and be at peace then both the parties must be willing to solve the problem. If the
party is unable to accept the changes then the other party should comprise to a greater extent which may not be possible. Realization and a high level of understanding is one of the optimal solutions to combat the problem. Both the parties should often discuss openly about their childhood and the funny and sad incidents that took place during their childhood days. This activity not only creates bondage but also opens the doors for understanding. The two parties can understand the lifestyle of each other. Knowing the childhood of each other helps the parties understand the physiological patterns formed by each other also. Both the parties should not develop a very high feeling about themselves. They should understand that they both have their limitations since they are human-beings. They should understand that they both depend upon each other at some point or the other. They both should realize the peace that can be built by a means of co-operation. When both the parties are co-operative they can complete the tasks very peacefully. This problem commonly occurs between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The mother-in-law should realize that her daughter-in-law is customized to the atmosphere of education and profession and hence suddenly coping up the domestic activities is not an easy task for her. At the same time the daughter-in-law should also realize that her mother-in-law was not enough lucky to be educated by her parents and hence she cannot be professionally competent and understand the professional world. Both the parties should realize the theory of limitations and both of them cannot be satisfied as per their wants. Nobody in the world is satisfied according to their wants because human wants are only unlimited. They should realize the easiness of expecting and difficulty of implementing. Especially in the initial stage when a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meet each other they cannot live with peace with each other because both of them meet from the different worlds. Everybody should develop the attribute of respecting each other. When one learns to respect each other peace can be established between the two parties. A mother-in-law should realize that the woman of today struggle with pain to earn bread for their family. The daughter-in-law at the same time should realize that her mother-in-law once underwent a lot of pain to bring up her family and she has once undergone many economic and social hardships. To build a close relationship with each the two parties can enjoy with each other periodically such as going out for a cinema, restaurants, shopping and many other fun-filled activities. They can also organize to celebrate the birthday of each other . Both the parties should purposely spend time with each other whenever they are free. This activity creates an emotional bondage very quickly. If both the parties are interested with the topic of spirituality then the formula works wonderfully because both the parties require spirituality in life to create peace.

According to new research，there could be a social hierarchy（等级）attached to where people stand in the lift．More senior men stand at the back，young men in the middle and women of all ages at the front． Most people know that awkward feeling when you shuffle（拖着鞋走）into an elevator with other people and try not to make eye contact．But new research suggests it may be down to a subconscious power struggle being played out as you make your way up or down．A study found that people decide where they stand based on a micro social hierarchy，established within seconds of entering the lift． Rebekah Rousi，a Ph．D．student in cognitive science，conducted all ethnographic study of elevator behaviour in two of the tallest office buildings in Adelaide，Australia． As part of her research，she took a total of 30 lift rides in the two buildings，and discovered there was an established order to where people tended to stand． In a blog for Ethnography Matters，she writes that more senior men seemed to direct themselves towards the back of the elevator cabins． She said，“In front of them were younger men，and in front of them were women of all ages．” She also noticed there was a difference in where people directed their gaze half way through the ride． Men watched the monitors，looked in the side mirrors（in one building）to see themselves，and in the door mirrors（of the other building）to also watch others． Women would watch the monitors and avoid eye contact with other users（unless in conversation）and the mirrors，she writes．The doctorate student concluded it could be that people who are shyer stand toward the front，where they can’t see other passengers，whereas bolder people stand in the back，where they have a view of everyone else．小题1:According to the passage，where do women likes to stand in the lift?A．At the back．B．At the front．C．In the middle．D．On the right．小题2:What causes people to feel uncomfortable when entering the an elevator?A．The manner people went into the lift．B．The limited space in the lift．C．The subconscious power struggle.D．The micro social hierarchy．小题3:Why did Rebekah Rousi take 30 lift rides in buildings in Adelaide，Australia?A．To enjoy the tallest office building．B．To make a study of elevator behavior．C．To go to work there．D．To experience the ride by elevator．小题4:Which of following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A．Women are more attentive than men in the lift．B．Both women and men like to watch the monitors in the lift．C．The shyer you are，the more likely you are to stand at the back in the lift．D．Why where you stand in the lift reflects your social status．

I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law.

It is well known that many of our&&&----everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of&&&&illness ----are caused at least in part by&&&&to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to &&&&our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.

Science Daily (May 1S, 2012) - People who rate themselves as having high emotional&&& intelligence (El) tend to overestimate (高估) their ability to detect deception(欺骗) in others.&&&&& This is the finding of a paper published in the journal Legal and Criminological Psychology on 18 May 2012. Professor Stephen Porter. director of the Centre for the Advancement of Psychological&&&& Science and Law at University of British Columbia Canada along with colleagues Dr. Leanne Brinke and Alysha Baker used a standard questionnaire to measure the EI of 116 participants. These participants were then asked to view 20 videos from around the world of people&&&& pleading （祈求） for the safe return of a missing family member. In half the videos the person&&&& making the plea was responsible for the missing person's disappearance or murder. The participants were asked to judge whether the pleas were honest or deceptive say how much confidence they had in their judgments, report the clues (线索) they had used to make those judgments and rate their emotional response to each plea. Professor Porter found that higher EI was associated with overconfidence in assessing the sincerity of the pleas and sympathetic feelings towards people in the videos who turned out to be responsible for the disappearance. Although EI, in general, was not associated with being better or worse at telling the difference between truths and lies. people with a higher ability to notice and express emotion (a component of EI) were not so good at spotting when people were telling lies. Professor Porter says: "Taken together, these findings suggest findings features of emotional&&&& intelligence and the decision-making processes they lead to may nave the paradoxical (适得其反的) effect of weakening people's ability to detect deception." "These findings are important because El is a well-accepted concept and is used in a variety of fields, including the workplace"小题1:Which of the following is true about the study and its findings?A．EI has something to do with telling truths and 1ies.B．The participants were asked to identify liars on the spot.C．The participants had to tell reasons for their judgments.D．Those confident participants all made wrong judgments.小题2:According to Professor Porter's finding, people with higher EIA．were actually less confidentB．were easy to be cheated for their kindnessC．had sympathy for the missing peopleD．were good at spotting deception小题3:What does the underlined word "they" refer to?A．Features of EIB．People with high EfC．The findingsD．The researchers小题4:Workplace is specially mentioned in the last paragraph to ______.A．indicate that people with high EI are mostly adultsB．indicate that EI is very important in the workplaceC．warn employers not to trust employees with high EID．warn people with high EI of deception in the workplace小题5:What is the best title for the passage?A．How to detect deception in our daily life.B．The disadvantages of high emotional intelligence.C．The relationship between one's El and recognition. D．Emotionally intelligent people are less good at spotting liars.

We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck, or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache and stiff. Your whole body feels tight. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck. That is why we use phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of your self-control after they have settled into their seats…Well, what now…Good God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men’s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck.”Another, well-known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mout he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.Then, there is the main sitting next to you at a lunch counter smoking a smelly cigar. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway car and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he leans over and stretches his neck so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.We also call such a person a “rubberneck”, always putting out his neck to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy invading your privacy. People have a strong dislike for rubbernecks. They hate being spied upon.小题1:Where can you find this passage?A．Medicine dictionaries.B．A travel guide.C．Social science books.D．Students text books.小题2:How do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?A．Disturbed.B．Ignored.C．Bored.D．Relaxed.小题3:A “rubberneck” often &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&.A．says bad words behind peopleB．quarrels face to face with neighborsC．bargains the price with sales womenD．asks about other people’s business小题4:Which of the follow is “a pain in the neck”?A．Someone who helps you find your seat in a movie theatre.B．Someone who smokes in a smoking section on a train.C．Someone who throws trash out of his car window on the highway.D．Someone who goes to the doctor for his severe pain on the neck.

A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his spare time. Hobbyists raise pets, build model ships, weave baskets, watch birds, hunt animals, climb mountains, raise flowers, fish, ski, skate, and swim. Hobbyists also paint pictures, attend concerts and plays, and perform on musical instruments. They collect everything from books to butterflies, and from shells to stamps. People take up hobbies because these activities offer enjoyment, friendship, knowledge, and relaxation. Sometimes they even produce financial profit(利润). Hobbies help people balance between work and play. Hobbies also offer interesting activities for persons who have retired. Anyone, rich or poor, old or young, sick or well, can follow a satisfying hobby, regardless of (不论)his age, position, or income.
Hobbies can help a person’s mental and physical health. Doctors have found that hobbies are valuable in helping patients recover from physical or mental illness. Hobbies give bedridden or wheel-chair patients something to do, and provide interests that keep them from thinking about themselves. Many hospitals treat patients by having them take up interesting hobbies or pastimes. In early times, most people were too engaged in making a living to have many hobbies. But some persons who had leisure(休闲)did enjoy hobbies. The ancient Egyptians played games with balls made of wood or pottery. People today have more time than ever before for hobbies. Machines have reduced the amount of time they must spent on their jobs. Hobbies provide variety for workers who do the same monotonous(单调的) tasks all day long. More people are retiring than ever before, and at an earlier age. Those who have developed hobbies never need to worry about what to do with their newly found leisure hours. Sir William Osier, a famous Canadian doctor, expressed the value of hobbies by saying, “No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.”小题1:It seems that people who&&&&&may spend more time enjoying their hobbies.A．have little moneyB．have much moneyC．have retired from their workD．have left school小题2:The underlined phrase “recover from” in the third paragraph means&&&&&.A．get backB．become healthy againC．become calmD．supply with a new cover小题3:In early times, most people spent less time on their hobbies, because&&&&&.A．they were busy in making a living B．they suffered from illnesses.C．they were brave and hard-workingD．they were not interested in them.小题4:What’s the writer’s opinion about hobbies?A．People all over the world have the same hobby.B．Machines also have their hobbies.C．Hobbies are popular among people in Egypt.D．People should have hobbies in their spare time.

It’s hard not to feel cheated and over-charged when you receive unexpected roaming (漫游) charges while traveling abroad—whether they come from making phone calls or checking e-mails.Jeff Gardner received an $ 11,000 bill from Verizon after spending four days in Jamaica. Before the trip, Mr. Gardner, who runs a fly-fishing business in Grayling, Michigan, said he called Verizon to find out what it would cost to use his cellphone for calls and his wireless card to check e-mails while in Jamaica. He said he was told that calls would be about $ 2 a minute and that there would be no extra charges for data as he was on an unlimited plan. The latter part turned out to be wrong.“I don’t mind paying a fair amount for fair service, but $11,000 for four days is ridiculous,” said Mr. Gardner, who used his phone carefully and economically on the trip. He also tried to check and send e-mails using his wireless card, but quickly gave up after the e-mails didn’t go through. Still, his Verizon bill said more than 500,000 kilobytes (千字节) of data was delivered while he was in Jamaica, an amount Mr. Gardner said is 100 times what he normally uses in a month.As travelers increasingly use smart phones abroad in the same way they do at home—to check e-mails, update Facebook and Twitter and pull up online maps—many are facing costly roaming fees, which providers charge when customers use their phones outside their service area. In fact, roaming charges have gotten so out of hand that the Federal Communications Commission has proposed a plan that would require wireless companies to send their customers a voice or text message when they are approaching their plan’s limit, when they have reached that limit and when they are starting to result in roaming fees.小题1:Why did Jeff Gardner call Verizon before his trip to Jamaica?A．To hand over his business.B．To check his cellphone billC．To find out information about Jamaica.D．To find out information about roaming charges.小题2:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Extra charges were made for Jeff Gardner’s data delivery.B．Jeff Gardner’s calls were charged over $2 per minute.C．Jeff Gardner’s plan turned out to be limited.D．Jeff Gardner had difficulty delivering data abroad.小题3:During the trip, Jeff Gardner______.A．was careless with phone useB．delivered no more data than at homeC．received quite poor e-mail servicesD．frequently used his wireless card to send e-mails小题4:What should wireless companies do according to the Federal Communications Commission?A．Make customers know when they’re outside their service area.B．Get customers informed when they’re near the limit of their plan.C．Stop serving customers when they’ve reached their plan’s limit.D．Limit some services to reduce the amount of roaming charges abroad.
