One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own lifestyles. In more traditional societies, when children grow up,. they are expected to live in the same area as their parent, 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 education, 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 diversion 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 dated overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.
选项
A、To continue the family profession:
B、To find better jobs.
C、To do whatever they can.
D、To follow father’s steps.
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。短文第二段首句指出“In our upwardly mobile society,parents often expect... to find better jobs,to make more money,…”(在我们经济和社会地位不断上升的社会中,父母通常希望孩子们比他们更出色:找到好工作、多挣钱,做他们没能做到的事情。)由此可知,B项与文意相符。
