　　generation gap

　　despite various improvements in all aspects of social life, the generation gap between the grown-up and the young remains unbridged. instead, it grows wider apart.

　　nowadays, the youths do not blindly follow what their elders say. owing to widespread education, the influence of western civilization, to certain extent, gives them a new code of philosophy, which is completely different from that of their elders. an invisible wall thus appears between the two generations.

　　modern youths are trying to be more revolutionary. they have their own interpretation for different matters; they also have their own ideas. their reluctance to learn old teachings and sayings becomes the constant friction between the two generations. they always introduce new changes. however, the old people, wedded to everything of the past, are hostile to changes. thus, the generation gap becomes wider and wider.

　　after all, the young generation, like the old one, is made of flesh and blood. the young also need respect and they also have skills and good ideas. in order to narrow the gap, both groups should respect each other, listen to each other and should discuss their problems patiently.

　　24. 句型: deal with sth； handle sth.

　　route to success

　　in order to be successful in your dealings with people or in handling business, you must use the right approach. you must always be diplomatic so that you do not put people in a defensive position. when people are forced into a defensive position, they close their minds and will not listen to you. whenever possible, it is better to deal with problems calmly and logically, and without hostility.

　　it is rarely helpful to get angry and emotional. people should be more civilized. scolding, accusing, and threatening will only make the person as mad at you as you are at him, and nothing will be solved. in fact, it will probably create even more problems! say things in a way that doesn’t hurt people’s feelings. remain calm and logical on the outside. but inside you must have strength and intensity.

　　in dealing with a problem, be nice and understanding. let the other person know that you want to help solve his problem as well as your own, so that everyone will be satisfied and no one will be angry or hurt. try this way and you will be a successful man.

　　25. 句型: be out of date

　　getting to the world outside the campus

　　faced with a rapidly changing world college students should no longer confine themselves to their campuses ---- the “ivory tower”. they should acquire knowledge not only from books, whose knowledge is often out of date, but also from the society ---- always changing and requiring new talented people.

　　there are many ways for students to keep themselves well informed about the society: listening to the radio, watching tv, reading newspapers and surfing the internet. taking part-time jobs, such as tutoring, working in a restaurant, is probably a better way to get nearer to the society. various social activities organized by school authorities or student organizations may be the better choice for students to make.

　　summer vacation will soon be here. i have already been enrolled as a volunteer to help some high school teachers and students in a village with their teaching and learning. i will receive no pay, but the best reward is that i can learn a lot from those teachers and students.

　　26. 句型: there is a heated discussion these days…

　　on-campus marriage

　　there is a heated discussion these days since chinese on-campus students are legally allowed to get married before they complete their courses. some people applaud this new development while others have expressed their concern.

　　on the one hand, college students will inevitably have less time and energy for their academic life because married students have more realistic problems to deal with than those unmarried ones. on the other hand, a number of students do have a desire for an ideal marriage. they are old enough to take the responsibility and if they handle it well, marriage can bring them happiness and a sense of security.

　　in my opinion, it is unnecessary to forbid on-campus students to get married; however, it shouldn’t be encouraged either. the reason is that, for on-campus students, their main task is to acquire knowledge. if they get married, the family chores might distract them from studying. thus they may not graduate favorably and accordingly may not be capable of future works. i believe almost all on-campus students would deal with the question reasonably.

　　it is true that honesty, as a virtue of mankind, has been challenged in the modern society as we encounter more and more dishonest people and things. however, when asked the question of whether we need to be honest, my answer is “yes”. 

　　i think that it pays to be honest. the reasons can be listed as follows. firstly, honesty is essentially important in establishing trust among people. secondly, to be honest brings benefits to people around you. for example, your classmates may find it easy to communicate with you. thirdly, you yourself will benefit from being honest. you will be blessed with a stable marriage, many friends and more importantly, a peaceful heart.

　　it goes without saying that being honest is of great benefit to both the community and inpiduals. your life will be meaningful and you will be appreciated and remembered as an honest person. in conclusion, it is definitely rewarding to be honest because you will get more than you pay.

　　practice makes perfect

　　it is well-known to everyone that practice makes perfect. this self-evident proverb means that the more we practice, the more likely we are going to do things perfectly.

　　learning a foreign language like english is a good case in point. you must practice listening, speaking, reading and writing so as to acquire the language. otherwise, you will clean forget about it. take my classmate, xiao wang, as an example. he seldom spends time in learning english. as a result, his english is very poor and he begins to hate english now. unlike him, i spend more than five hours each day learning english. so the natural consequence is that i have a good mastery of the language and my interest in it grows.

　　a lesson that we can draw from the above examples is obvious. practice is crucial to our success not only in study but also in our future work. only through repeated practice can one be good at doing things.

　　29. 句型: it is suggested that…； it is advisable to…

　　my opinion on campus love

　　campus love isn’t a newly-born phenomenon. some people are strongly against it while others take it for granted. as far as i’m concerned, i object to the campus love. my reasons are as follows.

　　first of all, undergraduates are neither fully psychologically mature nor able to assume the responsibility, especially freshmen and sophomores. if they indulge in it, the students may not pay close attention to their study, which isn’t rare. additionally, some just take advantage of it to kill time, avoid boredom with much time at their own disposal, etc.. what’s more, some change dating “partners” frequently, holding a paradox opinion that they could show off their charm or accumulate experience. thirdly, the proportion of successful couples is too low. instead, the overwhelming majority reach the same end – parting just before graduation, as a result of the reality.

　　so it is suggested that students should “look before you leap”, and it is advisable to discard campus love and focus on our attention and efforts on our studies.
