A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong？ Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared？ Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is .the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they axe expected to live in the same place as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.
In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people axe valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time.
The first paragraph tells that （）.
A.the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from people
B.it is out of date to talk about the generation gap
C.children and parents are trying to understand each other
D.it is very important for people to talk with each other often

“I have two kids in college, and I want to say “come home,” but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Diana.
The Smith family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the school, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program.They will each graduate with a $20,000 debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to see more families like the Smiths.More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans.College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition (学费)continues to rise.A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%.Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M.Callan, president of the center.“The middle class families have been financing it through debt.They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them.The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.

根据以下材料回答题
Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the loveyou share in your relationships, and I couldn&39;t agree more．But money comes into play inthose relationships．
When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to meand says, "Suze, you are so wrong．Money isn&39;t the key to life--this is!" At which point their wal-let flies open and they show me a photo of their family．
That&39;s when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take thatphoto with your own camera？ It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family va-cation？ Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college？
As their answers are"yes", I ask them how they provide all of that for their．family．That&39;swhen they understand that I had it fight．
I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being；without mean-ingful relationships, there&39;s no chance of ever being truly happy．That&39;s why, every Saturdaynight, I end my CNBC show with the following words:" People first．Then money．Then things．"
How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness．Over the past few decades (十年), the percentage of Americans who say they&39;re happy hasn&39;t changed much, while at thesame time the average income has doubled．So we have more money, but we&39;re not much happieron average．
A paradox(悖论) ？ Far from it．My sense is that while we&39;re making more money, we arent&39;tmaking more of the money we make．We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry a-bout saving for retirement(退休) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did．And as man-y of you know, it&39;s really hard to increase your happiness when you&39;ve got a lot of money worries．
Do you agree, or am I way off base？ I&39;d love to know what do you think about the money/happiness connection．
Why do people often show the author their family photos？ 查看材料
A.They hope to show money is very important．
B.They want to prove they can afford a holiday．
C.They think a good family makes them truly happy．
D.They believe a happy person considers people first．

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap，a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience，while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong？ Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared？ Actually，the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life styles. In more traditional societies，when children grow up，they are expected to live in the same area as their parents，to marry people that their parents know and approve of，and often to continue the family occupation. In our society，young people often travel great distances for their educations，move out of the family home at an early age，marry-or live with-people whom their parents have never met，and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
In our upwardly mobile society，parents often expect their children to do better than they did：to find better jobs，to make more money，and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often，however，the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often，they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally，the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture，elderly people are valued for their wisdom，but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds，separated by different skills and abilities.
No doubt，the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society，and in the rapid pace at which society changes.
The main idea of the first paragraph is that______.
A. the generation gap suddenly appeared
B. the generation gap is a feature of American life
C. how people can reduce the generation gap
D. many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
