Passage 6

　　　 Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, ex- port, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same root "port", which comes from the Latin (拉丁文) word, meaning "to carry'or "to movenfrom one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning which we call the prefix (前缀),the meaning changes: "import"means "to carry in", or "to bring into a country"; "export" "exn,means "out of" so this word means "to carry out of a country";"re"means "hack", so the word "report"means "to tell somebody, to bring1 back information to somebody"; "transport", "trans" means "across'and it means "to carry across one place to another" !

Let's look at the following words; supporter, reporter, importer and exporter.　 You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs. Adding a suffix "er'to a verb means a person who does this thing. So supporter means somebody who supports. A reporter is somebody who reports. Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports, and so on.

Passage 5

　 　A few years ago it was popular to speak of a penetration gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained (抱怨) 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 a gap is built into the fabric (结构) of our society.

　　 One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life. 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 agree to, and to continue the family occupation (职业). 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 easily changing 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 strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement 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 out of date 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 (特点) of American life for some time to come 　It’s causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes.
