题目内容
People of older generations often complain about the selfishness and lack of respect they find among the younger generations. It is undeniable that some young people do need to be educated on mutual respect and concern for others, especially senior members of society. But we older people should have some understanding about the young, too.
Today' s society is rather different from what it was when we were young. The social，financial and psychological pressure today' s young people have to face is much higher than what we did back in the 1950s through the 1990s.
They are in the early stage of their career. They have to find proper jobs to support themselves and work diligently to rise. They have to live in smaller houses, because they are unable to afford the soaring housing prices. Considering these facts，we may find it understandable why young people
sometimes appear aloof(冷淡的) and disrespectful.
I don't mean that we should put up with it without reminding them of the need to mend their ways. What I mean is that we should be more patient, understanding and tolerant toward them.
For instance，when we get up on a bus or a subway train，we should not complain about not being offered a seat. A young person does not offer a senior citizen his/her seat probably because he/ she has to travel a long way to work or because the carriage is too crowded for one to move at all.
In fact,young people do offer their seats to the seniors. I seldom take a bus or a subway train, but more than a quarter of the times I have done so,I was offered a seat. That is fair enough, given that I do not look so senile(年老的) .
But on occasions，I have seen old people not showing any sign of gratitude when offered a seat.
China has become an aging society since the end of the last century. According to a recent survey， people older than 60 accounted for 11.4 percent of the nation, s population. And the percentage is expected to rise，given the one-child family planning policy our country has practiced for more than three decades.
In other words，the younger generations will have to shoulder a heavier burden in looking after the parents and grandparents. Theoretically, there will come a day when one couple may have to support four parents and eight grandparents. What a burden it would be！
All this demands that we show more concern and understanding to our younger generations.

8. B主旨大意题。文章第一段最后一句引出了文章的主题"老年人对年轻人应多一分理解"，接下来陈述理由，最后两段再次概述了文章的中心，即鉴于年轻人所面临的压力以及他们肩上所承担的重任，他们理应得到更多的理解。因此B项作标题最恰当。
9. C细节理解题。根据第五、六、七三段，尤其是第五段第二句可知，作者认为年轻人不让座是有某些正当理由的，应当予以理解。
10. B词义猜测题。根据上下文可知画线词所在句意为：我并不是说我们应该对它(年轻人的不良表现) 容忍而不提醒他们有必要停止这一行为。故选B。
11. D推理判断题。可以通过排除法作出选择。文章提及中国的计划生育政策，只是为了说明如今的年轻人面临巨大压力的原因，并不能推断出C项。本文也并没有提到对于年轻人和老年人之间的误解哪一方要承担责任，两者之间需要相互理解。
12. A主旨大意题。本文通过摆事实、讲道理来阐明主题。
