Dear Editor,

    I am writing to ask what has happened to the young. They are not as polite, hardworking or clever as my generation(一代人). I'll give you an example.

    Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. it was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers(青少年) sitting on the seats near me. I don't know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They slowly did so but gave me an impolite look. I took off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn't follow me.

    I worried about the future of our country. How could these young people become responsible (有责任心的)workers and parents? They sit around McDonald's after School instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this "lost generation ".

Dear Editor,

I read Mr. Johnson’s letter about the problem of today’s young people with much interest.

He described teenagers on a train not giving seat to a pregnant woman and her daughter. I was the woman. We must have seen things differently. I found the teenagers helpful and kind. Did Mr.

Johnson see the teenagers help me off the train? Did he see them carry me shopping bags to a taxi for me? Did he see them friendly to my daughter? Obviously(明显地) not.

"Older" people often say today's youth isn't as good as their generation. Their parents said that about them. Mr Johnson must accept(接受.) that the world is changing and young people are changing with it. I find today's young people are changing with it. I found today's young people mostly kind and more fun than my generation.

Perhaps Mr. Johnson should really try to get to know some young people before he calls them the "lost generation".

                                                               Linda  Black                                                                                                     1. Mr. Johnson wrote the letter to          .

2. When Mr. Johnson was young, he usually          after school.

3. In the second letter, Mrs. Black         .

     A. discussed the problem with the old

     B. told another story about the young people 

     C. wanted to show her thanks to the young people

     D. wanted the "older" to understand the young

4. Which of the following is the correct order of what happened?

    ①Mrs. Black wrote to the newspaper.

 ②Mrs. Black took a taxi With her daughter.

③Mrs. Black got on the train with her daughter.

    ④Mr. Johnson asked the young to give her seat.

    ⑤Mr. Johnson thought the young might follow him.           

    A. ②③④⑤①    B. ③②④⑤①       C. ③④⑤②①    D. ⑤③①④②

5. From the two letters we can learn that             .

      A. Mrs. Black didn't like the old like Johnson 

      B. people have different ideas about the young 

      C. older people are more helpful than the youth  

      D. people should talk more about the same story
