For Part 1 Questions and Answers 1. How does the author begin the text?
The author begins the text by putting forth the common phenomenon that people complain about others’ not listening to them.
The term “generation gap” first came into prominence in Western countries during the 1960’s. It was used to describe the cultural differences between the baby boomers (those who were born just after World War II) and their parents. Several examples of generational differences were prominent during the period. Rock music and soul music ( 灵 乐 ), popular among the young, were mostly detested by their elders. Long hair on young males was frequently seen as a shocking act of rebellion against societal norms by their parents. Some traditional mores ( 习 俗 ) were crumbling. And many young people “dropped out” into the hippie ( 嬉 皮 士 ) counterculture. A common catchphrase of the era among young people was “don’t trust anyone over 30.”
