Passage 2
　　We often hear people talking about a generation gap.The name is new,but the idea is old.Young people and their parents don’t understand each other.The world keeps changing.It has always kept changing.During the second century after Christ a wise man said:“Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”
　　There has always been a gap between generations,but more people talk
 about it now.Old Mr.Ellis thinks he understands what has happened:
　　“When I was a boy,I thought the world was a beautiful place.My life was” very pleasant.But when I was older.l learned about people who were treated badly,people who didn’t have enough to eat.I wanted to help them,and I married a girl who wanted to help them,too.We went to meetings and talked a lot,but it didn’t seem to make much difference."
　　“Our children grew up in a world at war.They didn’t know when the fighting would stop.They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys.They didn’t want to think about the future.They thought nothing could be done about it.”
　　“Now I have grandchildren,and they have their own ideas.They are trying to make the world better.They are trying to help other people.They’re making people listen to them．I am proud of their generation．”

    My formula for staying young is simple：Concentrate 1 the part of you that’s young and growing－your brain．Keep your mind awake and you’ll stay young all over．These are exciting times.Take an interest 2 the world around you，and make a point 3 learning at least one new thing every day．
    Regardless 4 your age，it’s not too late to make your life more interesting．I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself 5 an outstanding industrial designer;I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid artist．
    6 the notion that you are ever 7 old to go back to school．I know a man who entered medical college at 70．He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician．8 man went to law school at 71 and is now an active lawyer．
    9 years，staying young is easy for those who live In the future．You can do it if you care enough to try．Keep your mind awake and active;that’s the only youth elixir（万灵药）10 to work．
