一、听独白
• Monologue: The following monologue is about some causes of the generation gap（代沟）.
• One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity（机会、时机 ）that young people have to choose their own life-styles.
• that young people have 为定语从句，先行词为opportunity；to choose their own life-styles为不定式短语作定语，修饰opportunity。
• 本句容易错误理解为have to choose their own life-styles
• In traditional societies（传统社会）, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of （赞成，批准）, and often to continue the family occupation（职业）.
• Expect sb to do sth 期盼……做……，to do sth 为不定式做宾语补语，其被结构为：be expected to do.
• to live , to marry ,to continue 为平行结构，都是做expect的宾语补语，其中to marry 的宾语people后面还带了一个定语从句。
• In our society, however, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out （搬出）of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
• 本句中travel，move out ，marry or live，choose为平行结构，当有几个并列成分时，前面几个可以用逗号连接，最后一个用and连接。
• whom their parents have never met为定语从句，先行词为people。
• In our upwardly（上升的） mobile（移动的） 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, however, the ambitions（抱负） that parents have for their children （定从）are another cause of the division（分歧） between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with （与……相同）each other. Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society （定从）is another cause of the generation gap.
• In a traditional culture（文化）, elderly（上了年纪的）people are valued for their wisdom（智慧）, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete（过时的） overnight（一夜之间的，形容很快的）. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated（分开） by different skills and abilities（技能）. No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature（特色） of American life for some time to come.
二、填空练习
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose 1 (they) own life-styles. In traditional societies, when children grow up, they 2 (expect) to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, however, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people 3 their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from 4 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 5 (able) to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the 6 (divide) between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed 7 which changes take place in our society is another cause of the generation gap. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their 8 (wise), but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete(过时的)overnight. The young and the old seem 9 (live) in two very different worlds, 10 (separate) by different skills and abilities.
