Question

7．We often hear people talking about a generation gap （代溝）．The name is new，but the idea is old．Young people and their parents don't understand each other．The world has always kept changing．During the second century after Christ a wise man said，"Bury me on my face becausein a little while everything will be turned upside down．"

"Our children grew up in a world at war．They didn't know when the fighting would stop．They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys．They didn't want to think about the future．They thought nothing could be done about it．"
"Now I have grandchildren，and they have their own ideas．They are trying to make the world better．They are trying to help other people．They're making people listen to them．I am proud of their generation．"
