Lesson 14 Does the Younger Generation Know Best？ Text The Younger Generation Knows Best Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideals of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is different from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed. The old always assume that they know best far the simple reason that they have lieen around a bit longer. They don't like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are questioning the assumptions of their elders and disturbing their complacency. They take leave to doubt that the older generation has created the best of all possible worlds. What they reject more than anything is conformity. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn't people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility？ And what about clothing？ Who said that all the men in the world should wear drab grey suits and convict haircuts？ If we turn our minds to more serious matters, who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional polities or by violent means？ Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems？ Why are they so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their pexsonal lives, so obsessed with mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more material possessions？ Can anything be right with the ratrace？ Haven't the old lost touch with all that is important in life？ These are not questions the older generation can shrug off lightly. Their record over the past forty years or so hasn' t been exactly spotless. Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old - if they are prepared to admit it-coutd learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not “sinful”。

You disagree directly when you are sure of the fact or when you think your opinion is more reasonable. Otherwise indirect disagreement often sounds more polite. "Are you absolutely sure?" and "I wonder if there's a mistake" are examples of showing disagreement indirectly.Listening StrategyDistinguishing Signal WordsWords like "but", "although" and "however" give a signal that the speaker (or writer) is going to say something different from what has been said. On the other hand, words like "and", "besides" and "also" only add something similar to what has been said. The ability to recognize these signal words while listening is a great help in understanding a text correctly.Listen to the short conversations and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. a.

They cover major school events, notices issued by the school authorities, sports and entertainment news, and articles written by students to air different viewpoints. A special column called "classifieds", or "classified ads", is devoted to advertisements for jobs, accommodation news, sale of used things -- books, furniture, cars, etc.—under such headings as "Help Wanted", "Services", "Furniture for Sale", "Roommates Wanted", "Miscellaneous". To place an ad, one can call the advertising department of the paper to arrange it and pay a small fee. For example, a student-run paper at an American university in New York charges the following advertising rates: 8 dollars for the first 20 words, 25 cents for each individual word and 50 cents for a box.2.

V ery few companies are able to sell a product without advertising. It is possible, but very unlikely. There are many different kinds of advertising. The simplest is called promotion. Promotion is using brochures or pamphlets to advertise. Theses can be handed to people on the street or they can be mailed. If they are mailed, it is called direct mail advertising. After direct mail advertising, there are: newspaper advertising, radio advertising, magazine advertising and television advertising. Newspaper advertising is the cheapest kind, while television is the most expensive.Television ads are generally used by large companies selling a product to a large market segment. Television advertising can be very successful because it reaches such a large audience. Small companies may find television advertising too expensive, so they often use newspapers to advertise. However, large companies also like newspapers because of their wide circulation.Part DTest Your ListeningA Compound DictationListen to the passage three times and supply the missing information.Advertising is an important part of the free enterprise 1) system. This is because different businesses are 2) competing for the same market. For this reason, they buy advertising 3) space in newspapers or magazines and advertising time on radio or TV. They each hope that advertisements will increase 4) demand for their products.In order to do well in the market, advertisers need to decide on a target; in other words, who are possible 5) buyers for their product? For example, what is the age and sex of their target group? How much education do they have? What are their political 6) beliefs and values? How much money do they make? Some companies such as McDonald’s target various groups, so they have many different ads—one for 7) teenagers, one for families and several in different languages.8) After advertisers decide on who, they need to determine where. What is a good place for their advertisement? Sellers of toys often advertise during children’s TV programs on Saturday morning. Sellers of expensive clothing advertise in V ogue and other fashion magazines.9) Advertisers also need to think about people’s motivation—their reasons for buying something. What makes people buy one product but not another? There are many possible reasons: health, profit, love, entertainment, etc. A study of advertising can also be a study of psychology. 10) When we think about the products that people buy, we learn about their needs, wants, fears, and values.。
