A while ago my family and I went sledding(滑雪橇)and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
Many people are 1 that most of today’s social problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no 2 to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything 3 there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a 4 side. I watched my two oldest children (then five and four) take my youngest (then two years old) by the hand to help her up the slippery slope 5 they went up. They would have been 6 without her, but not once did they try to sneak by her without helping. And when the sled 7 my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to 8 them falling and hurting themselves.
These children sometimes 9 among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can 10 them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to 11 some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children 12 on the sideline (作为旁观者)and know that they will befriend them.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame 13 much of society’s problems – not the youngsters who want everything, 14 the adults who have taught them to selfishly 15 only of themselves.
Most adults have been 16 at some time or another, sadly, many 17 that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can 18 that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with 19 of bumps (撞伤) and bruises (擦伤), but we can all make it to the 20 if we remember to help those who need it.
