Unit 2
Section A A Busy
Weekday Morning
The radio clicked on. Rock
music blasted forth.
Like a shot, the music
woke Sandy.
She looked at the clock; it was
6:15 A.M.
Sandy sang along with the words
as she lay listening to her favorite radio
station.
,, turn that music off!
Steve
Finch burst into her room.
It's the same
thing over and over.
I'm not sure it is really
music though it does have rhythm.
Hmmm. No, it
isn't really music.
It's weird. It is
definitely horrible stuff.
— Green Waves.
Listen for a minute; I'm sure you'll like it.
It has a really powerful message.
Didn't
you ever listen to music like this when you were a
youngster?
Sandy reached for the radio to turn
it up louder.
The music I listened to had
a message, too, but the words were clear
and
the musicians didn't use such offensive language.
Turn that radio down so your mother and I
can't hear it.
I'm sure that music is hurting
your ears as well as your brain.
Now, would
you please hurry up and turn it off?
Get ready
for school or you'll be late!
the shower.]At
first, the water felt cold.
It helped her wake
up. Then, as the water got hotter,
she
thought,
No one disturbs me in here.
She
grabbed the soap and washed thoroughly, including
her hair.
If she stayed in the shower too
long,
her mom or dad usually banged on the
door to rush her
so she grabbed a towel and
dried off.
After her shower, Sandy brushed her
hair, put on her old, green T-shirt and some jeans
and wrapped her sweater around her shoulders.
Then she put on her makeup, grabbed her books
and went to the kitchen.
She looked at the
clock again; it was late.
As usual, she didn't
know what to have for breakfast,
so she
grabbed a glass of milk and ate a piece of toast
while standing by the sink.
Just then, her
mother, Jane, entered the kitchen.
, why don't
you sit down and eat your breakfast?
It isn't
healthy to eat standing up.
I don't have
time to sit down and eat.
ah .
I'll brush my teeth when
I'm done.
ou should brush your teeth when you
wake up
and then brush them again after
breakfast.
Sandy, why are you wearing that old
T-shirt? It's disgusting.
I know you have some
nice blouses in your closet.
Sandy, are
you wearing eye-liner?
sn't it pretty? It's
called French Lilac Blue. I just love it.
Sandy
pretended not to notice that her mother was a
little annoyed.
Please go upstairs and
wash it off.
Believe me, all the girls at
school wear makeup.
Some have tattoos and
pierced ears, and noses and tongues, too.
Mom, I don't have time to talk about this now —
I'm late.
I've got to go. See you
later.
Sandy kissed her mother quickly on the
cheek,
picked up her books, and bolted out of
the house.
As she ran to catch the school bus,
Sandy thought of her older brother Bill who
was away at college
He phoned her often so
they could talk and share their problems,
but
she hadn't heard from him for a while.
She
missed him. Since Bill had gone to college,
her mother bugged Sandy much more than before,
and she was arguing with her mother a lot more
than usual, too.
收音机“咔嗒”一声,摇滚乐就大声地响开了。音乐像枪声似的将
桑迪吵醒。
她看了一下钟,早上6点一刻。她躺在床上,听着她喜欢的电台广播,嘴里哼着
歌词
。
“桑迪,” 她父亲喊道,“桑迪,把音乐关了!”史蒂夫?芬奇冲进她的卧室。
“你为什么一定要听这么糟糕的音乐?
还听了一遍又一遍。虽然有节奏,可恐怕
不是真正的音乐。”
“我喜欢这种音乐,爸爸。这是我最喜欢的。您听一下吧,您肯定会喜欢的。”
桑迪伸手把音乐开得更响。
“别,别开那么响,我受不了。把收音机音量调低点,这样我和你
妈妈就听
不到了。我敢肯定,那音乐既伤你的耳朵,又伤你的大脑。”
桑迪走进浴室,打开淋浴喷头。然后她抓起香皂,浑身上下洗个遍,连头发
也洗了。
淋浴后,桑迪梳了梳头发,穿上一件旧的绿色圆领衫和一条牛仔裤。接着她
化好妆,走进了厨房。和往常
一样,她不知道早餐该吃什么,便抓了杯牛奶,站
在洗涤槽旁吃烤面包。就在此时,她妈妈简走进了厨房。
“桑迪,你怎么不坐下吃饭?
站着吃饭对身体不好。”
“我知道,妈妈,可我没时间坐着吃。”
“昨天做作业了吧,宝贝?”
“做了。”
“刷过牙了?”
“妈妈,我还没吃完饭呢。吃完了再刷。”
“桑迪,你怎么穿那件旧圆领衫呢?
难看死了。”
“妈妈,请别这样。”
“别怎么样?”
“别这样烦我。”
“桑迪,你怎么描起眼线来了?”
“我是描了,妈妈。我都描了几个月了。难道不漂亮?”
“桑迪?芬奇,你还小,不能化这么浓的妆。”
“妈妈,我都15岁了,到了可以化妆的年龄
了。给您说实话吧,学校的女孩
子都化妆,有些还文身,有的还戴耳环、鼻环、舌环呢。妈妈,我现在没
时间给
您说,我快迟到了,得走了。再见。”
桑迪匆匆吻了一下妈妈的脸颊,拿起书冲
出了屋子。
桑迪离家上学后,简?芬奇平静地坐下来喝咖啡。没过一会儿,她丈夫走了
进来。
“史蒂夫,喝点咖啡吧?”简问道。
“不,谢谢,亲爱的。我胃不舒服,心乱如麻。可能是因
为那讨厌的音乐每
天早上把我吵醒。我想我还不至于老得落伍吧,可没完没了地听那毫无韵律、令
人讨厌的歌曲实在让我生气。”
“你知道,亲爱的,不同年龄的人喜欢不同的音乐,”
简劝说道。“还记得我
们听过的一些音乐吗?”
史蒂夫笑了,“你说得有道理。也许吃点早饭能让我感觉好一点。”
“你注意到了吗,今天早
晨我们15岁的女儿都化了什么样的妆?我真不敢相
信自己以前没有注意到。我想我们应该感到幸运,因
为我们女儿的最大问题还只
是化妆。我看到其他年轻人在镇上游手好闲,还文身,浑身穿了许多洞。”
“令我担心的是,”史蒂夫说,“那种音乐对桑迪可能有负面的影响。我不知
道我们的女儿到底
怎么回事。她在变,我很担心她。化妆品,糟糕的音乐,谁知
道以后还会有什么花样?我们得和她谈谈。
新闻里报道的尽是惹上麻烦的青少
年,可他们的父母却不知道自己的孩子有什么问题。”
“哦,我倒不认为她的音乐如此糟糕。但不管怎么说,你还是说得对,我们
需要和桑迪谈谈,”
简说道。
去上班的路上,简?芬奇一面开着车,一面想着她的桑迪。她知道自己想说
什么,得
对桑迪说什么。她和桑迪之间还可以进行交流,这令她很高兴。她知道
自己得有耐心,得保持自己和桑迪
之间沟通的渠道畅通。她想在桑迪的身边,做
她的保护人,同时又给她寻找自我的自由。
Unit 2 Section B Is There a Generation Gap?
The term gapwas coined in the concept of the
generation gap is that
parents and children
have different values and beliefs .As a result,
many parents fear that peer
opinions will
become more highly valued and that they in turn
will lose influence. Although the
term
continues to be used often, some people are
beginning to ask the question, there a
generation gap in today's society?
One
study compared four
generations,aged18-30,31-48,49-62,and 63 and over.
Several questions
were asked to tap into basic
beliefs and values, such as
and is the very
best place in the world to live inAcross the
generations, there was
great consistency in
the responses.
Many studies on youth also
refute the concept of a generation gap. These
studies show that while
young people tend to
value their peers' evaluations over parents' on
things like music, clothing and
what's ”,they
continue to look to parents for basic values and
guidance in the more important
areas of life,
such as career and lifetime goals.
Of course,
general trends can't always be applied to
individual cases. It is natural to feel like there
is an uncomfortable
though, the problem
does not lie in a difference of opinions or
values, but in the way we relate to
and
communicate with each other. Here are some tips
from an article entitled the
Generation Gap
Show respect. An attitude of respect and
trust can be contagious. Young people tend to see
themselves the way their parents see them. In
turn, they gain self-confidence and respect for
themselves when you show that you respect
their ability to make decisions and learn from
their
mistakes.
Listen more than you
talk. Questioning can sound like interrogation.
Instead, adopt an attitude of
curiosity rather
than control. Ask questions like
surprised?”If
your object is only to
listen, you should be
careful not to be preparing your response while
your teen is still talking.
You'll hear better
that way, and they will be encouraged to talk
more.
Ask whether your child wants to
hear it before sharing your point of view. Only go
on if they say
with a is what makes sense
to me as opposed to is the right way to see
things
Thinkinstead
ofhave chores to do before we leave the house;how
can we take

Admit your own
mistakes and talk about what you are learning from
g
self-acceptance and tolerance for
imperfection is very encouraging to teenagers(as
well as other
people around you)and tends to
make you easier to approach with questions,
regrets and
ize when you think you had done or
said something differently,like losing your
cool or saying something hurtful during an
argument.
Enjoy humor,energy and sense

“代沟
”这一术语出现于20世纪60年代。代沟的概念之一是指父母和孩子
有不同的价值观和信仰。因此,很
多父母害怕孩子赞成伙伴的观点,父母转而失
去影响力。虽然这个术语还是常常被使用,有人却开始问这
个问题:“今天的社
会还有代沟吗?”
有一项研究比较了四代人:18-30岁的人,31-
48岁的人,49-62岁的人,63
岁和63岁以上的人,问了几个问题以了解人们对一些问题的基本
信仰和价值观,
如“努力工作是成功之道”,“美国是世界上最佳的生活地”。四代人给出的答案非
常接近。
许多对年轻人的研究驳斥了代沟这一观念的存在。这些研究显示,较之父母
对音乐、服装和何为
“酷”的评价,年轻人更趋于赞同伙伴的见解,与此同时,在
生活中更重要的方面,如职业生涯、终身目
标等,他们还是继续依赖父母的基本
价值观和指导。
当然,总趋势是不能时时用于个例的。觉
得在我们和我们的十多岁孩子之间
好像存在令人不快的“代沟”,需要弥合它,这是自然的。然而,问题
也许不在于
见解和价值观的不同,而在于我们相互理解和沟通的方式。下面的建议摘自于一
篇题
为“弥合代沟”的文章,也许对弥合代沟有所帮助。
尊重他人。尊重与信任是能感染人的。年轻人往往以父母看待他们的方式看
待自己。反过来,当你表示你尊重他们有能力决策和从错误中学习时,他们会
因
此而获得自信和自尊。
多听少说。询问听起来可能像审问,不要这样。应该抱有好奇的态度
而不是
控制之心。问些这样的问题:“怎么会这样?你现在怎么看?当时吃惊吗?现在
打算怎么
做?你有什么计划?这事你是不是需要帮助?”如果你的目的只是听,
在孩子说话时,你就需小心别在心
里琢磨怎么回答。这样你会听得更好,而孩子
也会受到鼓励说得更多。
先问孩子是否想听,然
后才说你的观点。只有当孩子说“是”时才继续说下去,
而且要简洁。不要说教,不要期待孩子同意你的
观点。说话时,如果你的态度是
“我是这样理解的”,而不是“这样看问题才对”,孩子就可能更愿意听
,而不会有
逆反心理。
用“我们”而不用“你”。“离开家之前我们要做家务,我们怎么料理
必须做的
事呢?”不论你用什么方式,只要能将“这是我们共同的事”这一信息传达给孩子,
就
有助于弥合本可能由冲突带来的鸿沟。
保持冷静。交谈时生气或者太激动,你就可能轻易地毁了自己的
可信度。不
要说“你毁了你的一生!”而要说“我担心如果......会怎么样。在这种情况下,你想
你可能怎么办?”
不要使用双重标准。青少年非常警惕双重标准。别指望他们遵守你自己都不
遵守的规则。无论是打电话报平安,还是叫他们收拾东西,或用奶盒喝牛奶,“照
我说的做”而
不是“照我做的做”是不会改善关系的。
承认自己的错误,说说你从他们身上学到了什么。表现出自我
接受和对不完
美的容忍能很好地鼓励青少年(以及你身边的其他人),也往往能让他们更容易
接
近你,向你提出问题、表达遗憾甚至对你提出挑战。当你认为自己做错了事或
说错了话,比如发了脾气或
争论时说了令人伤心的话,就道歉。
有欣赏之心。青少年常有幽默感,充满活力,看什么事都觉得可能
,这些能
使父母意识到自己身上已被忘记或忽略的好的方面。当十多岁的孩子体验到被人
爱时,
他们通常表现得更可爱。
