There is a virtue (美德)in China－Respecting the 36 and care for the young”. About the above two aspects, we will discuss the former one in this passage. Why should we 37 the old? because they are ahead of us in age, in wisdom and in experience. Our elders have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 38 everything to their kindness and love. When we show them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 39 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 40 our own love and gratitude to them. 41 , elders have also been through all the years you are 42 and know a little more about the world than you do. It is 43 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 44 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 45 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 46 . With changing times and 47 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 48 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 49 their voices. If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 50 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 51 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 52 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 53 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 54 disadvantage. When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 55 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness. 小题1: A．grandpas B．friends C．fathers D．old 小题2: A．look forward B．contribute C．loved D．respect 小题3: A．exhibit B．owe C．explain D．point 小题4: A．accepting B．showing C．devoting D．greeting 小题5: A．describing B．expressing C．sending D．suggesting 小题6: A．Though B．Besides C．Therefore D．However 小题7: A．going through B．experiencing with C．suffering from D．worrying out 小题8: A．possibly B．maybe C．likely D．probably 小题9: A．disagreed B．quarreled C．liked D．dealt 小题10: A．society B．company C．community D．school 小题11: A．fact B．experience C．emotion D．information 小题12: A．environmental B．especially C．cultural D．good 小题13: A．indifferently B．quickly C．silently D．quietly 小题14: A．raise B．rise C．rouse D．arise 小题15: A．give in B．get out C．send out D．give up 小题16: A．forced B．expected C．needed D．reminded 小题17: A．question B．doubt C．wonder D．challenge 小题18: A．suffering B．discomfort C．trouble D．upset 小题19: A．slight B．light C．heavy D．serious 小题20: A．wander B．living C．aware D．sensitive
