Many people of my generation(代,一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that  11   people behave today.

Their first argument(论点) is that when we were young we used to look after the   12   people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t   13   about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no  14   . People had to live with their   15   and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more   16   to live where they want.

  Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect (盼望,期待)to be given jobs -----and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain(抱怨) about   17   . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts(关系). It is really   18  today.

  In conclusion I think there is hope for the  19   . This generation, like generations before them, has new  20   as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.

The holiday’s upon us. After months of study, you have some time to yourself. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, ‘Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and __26   media that offer a lot more __27   (colour) programs. Books are history!” But don’t be fooled. There’s still a lot to be said for reading and reading as widely as possible.

One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection  _28   words and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article _ 29   it is from the TV or the Internet.

But an even more important point is _ 30   books give you something that modern media simply can not. The webpage is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible.

Though “easy” may be welcome, _31   (luck) it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level. For that, there’s still no substitute (替代品) for a book.

But perhaps the best single reason is that simply __32   (choose) what you read and doing it by yourself _ 33   (mean) that it’s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It’s hard work, __34   while you are reading, you’ll find that what once __ 35   (seem) like a duty is now a pleasure.
