Background InformationBackground InformationBackBack

The author presents an early morning exchange between a daughter, Sandy, and her parents. The daughter and her parents think about the same things very differently as a result of their lack of mutual understanding. Take music for example. Sandy enjoys Green Waves very much while her father thinks it is horrible stuff. For another example, Sandy likes to take a shower as she can be alone and sing in the bathroom. But if she stays in the shower too long, her mom or dad usually bangs on the door to rush her. It is as if both Sandy and her parents are blind to what is important in each other’s worlds, which puts them in separate worlds and creates the generation gap between the old and the young.

Summary of the TextSummary of the Text

The author presents what Sandy did on a weekday morning through a time order, describing a series of actions according to a sequenced order. To describe something according to the order of time is especially common with narrative writing. From the reading passage we can find that the presentation of details clearly follows the progress of time, as is apparent from the following words or sentences.

Text Structure AnalysisText Structure Analysis

The beginning sentence of the story tells us about the time: The radio clicked on. This is a very strong reminder of the time. From the passage we find that it was 6:15 A.M., time for getting up. After a couple of events, we find that after her shower, the conversation went on and something more happened. Then suddenly she looked at the clock again; it was late, still a strong indication of the time passing. And at last she ran to catch the school bus, which tells us that Sandy left for school. The time marker is expressed through the action of leaving.

A Busy Weekday Morning

1. The radio clicked on. Rock music blasted forth. Like a shot, the music woke Sandy. She looked at the clock; it was 6:15 A.M. Sandy sang along with the words as she lay listening to her favorite radio station.

2. "Sandy," shouted her father. "Sandy, turn that music off!" Steve Finch burst into her room. "Why do you have to listen to such horrible stuff? It's the same thing over and over. I'm not sure it is really music though it does have rhythm. Hmmm. No, it isn't really music. It's weird. It is definitely horrible stuff."

3. "I like that music, Dad; it's my favorite group — Green Waves. Listen for a minute; I'm sure you'll like it. It has a really powerful message. Didn't you ever listen to music like this when you were a youngster?" Sandy reached for the radio to turn it up louder.

4. "No, no, don't do that. I can't stand it. The music I listened to had a message, too, but the words were clear and the musicians didn't use such offensive language. Turn that radio down so your mother and I can't hear it. I'm sure that music is hurting your ears as well as your brain. Now, would you please hurry up and turn it off? Get ready for school or you'll be late!"

5. Sandy walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. At first, the water felt cold. It helped her wake up. Then, as the water got hotter, she thought, "This shower feels great and in here I can be alone and sing. No one disturbs me in here." She grabbed the soap and washed thoroughly, including her hair. If she stayed in the shower too long, her mom or dad usually banged on the door to rush her so she grabbed a towel and dried off.

6. After her shower, Sandy brushed her hair, put on her old, green T-shirt and some jeans and wrapped her sweater around her shoulders. Then she put on her makeup, grabbed her books and went to the kitchen.

7. She looked at the clock again; it was late. As usual, she didn't know what to have for breakfast, so she grabbed a glass of milk and ate a piece of toast while standing by the sink. Just then, her mother, Jane, entered the kitchen.

8. "Sandy, why don't you sit down and eat your breakfast? It isn't healthy to eat standing up."

9. "I know. Mom, but I'm already late for school. I don't have time to sit down and eat.“

10. Did you finish your homework, dear?" 11. "Yes." 12. "Do you have your instrument?" 13. "Uh-huh."

I'll brush my teeth when I'm done." 18. "You should brush your teeth when you wake

up and then brush them again after breakfast. Sandy, why are you wearing that old T-shirt? It's disgusting. I know you have some nice blouses in your closet."

19. "Mom, please stop." 20. "Stop what, dear?21. "Stop bugging me."

22. "Sandy, are you wearing eye-liner?"? 23. "Yes, Mom, I've been wearing eye-liner for

months. Isn't it pretty? It's called French Lilac Blue. I just love it." Sandy pretended not to notice that her mother was a little annoyed.

24. "Sandy Finch, you're too young to wear that much makeup. Please go upstairs and wash it off."

25. "Mom, I'm fifteen. I'm old enough to wear makeup. Believe me, all the girls at school wear makeup. Some have tattoos and pierced ears, and noses and tongues, too. Mom, I don't have time to talk about this now — I'm late. I've got to go. See you later." Sandy kissed her mother quickly on the cheek, picked up her books, and bolted out of the house.

26. As she ran to catch the school bus, Sandy thought of her older brother Bill who was away at college. He phoned her often so they could talk and share their problems, but she hadn't heard from him for a while. She missed him. Since Bill had gone to college, her mother bugged Sandy much more than before, and she was arguing with her mother a lot more than usual, too.

Reference


The first thing is to make sure that you have a 20-dollar bill and have learned how to say “phone card” in English. Then you walk to the post office, repeating the English words silently to yourself. When you reach the post office, you say word to the clerk, smiling hopefully. Then, after you’ve paid for the card, you find a pay phone. (Underlined parts are time markers.)

Views on Generation Gap

When it comes to the problem of generation gap, people’s ideas are not cut from the same cloth. Most of the old argue that young people should be responsible for the problem. They base their argument on the ground that young people either turn a deaf ear to the elders’ experience-based advice or set themselves against what the elders have been proud of.

Recommended passageRecommended passage

Yet the younger generation reacts to the problem the other way around and holds that the opposite is just reasonable. From their angle of view, the older generation is too conservative to accept anything new, as a result of which, their voices are not taken into account, and their efforts are far from the requirements set by the elders. I am of the opinion that both generations should take the responsibility for the problem.

Much evidence proves that the generation gap results just when the two generations miss connecting or understanding with each other. As long as both sides keep their minds open to each other’s outlooks on the world and get ready for adjustment of their own ideas to the social needs, therefore, the gap between them will be narrowed down in time.

一个繁忙的早晨

1. 收音机“嘟”地一声，摇滚乐就“哗啦”地响开了。音乐像枪声似的将桑迪吵醒。她看了一下钟， 6点一刻。她躺在床上，听着她喜欢的电台广播，嘴里哼着歌词。

2. “桑迪，”她父亲叫嚷了起来，“桑迪，把音乐关了！”史蒂夫 ·芬奇冲进她的卧室。 “你为什么一定要听这么糟糕的音乐 ? 还是那个东西，听了一遍又一遍。虽然有节奏，可恐怕不是真正的音乐。哼，根本不是真正的音乐。这音乐怪透了，绝对糟糕透顶。”

3. “ 我喜欢这音乐，爸爸。这是我喜欢的乐队，叫‘绿浪’。您听一下吧，您肯定会喜欢的。它的含义丰富，很有感染力。您年轻时就没听过这样的音乐 ?”桑迪伸手把音乐开得更响。

4. “ 别，别开那么响，我受不了。我那时听的音乐也有丰富的含义，可它的歌词明明白白，作者不用这么令人讨厌的歌词。关掉收音机，这样我和你妈妈就听不到了。我敢肯定，那音乐既伤你的耳朵，也伤你的大脑。好了，请快点，把它关了。准备上学，不然就迟到了。”

5. 桑迪走进浴室，打开淋浴喷头。开始水有点冷，不过这倒可以帮她清醒清醒。过了一会儿，水就越来越热。她想：“淋浴的感觉就是好，我可以一个人在这里唱歌，没人打扰我。”她抓起香皂，浑身上下洗个遍，连头发也洗了。要是她在浴室待得太久，她爸爸或妈妈就会砰砰地敲门催她快点。她赶紧抓了条浴巾，把身子擦干。

6. 淋浴后，桑迪梳了梳头发，穿上一件旧的绿色圆领衫和一条牛仔裤，肩上披了件毛衣。接着她涂脸画眉，然后抓起书本走进厨房。

7. 她又看了看钟，很晚了。和往常一样，她不知道早餐该吃什么，便抓了杯牛奶，站在洗菜池旁吃烤面包。就在此时，她妈妈简走进了厨房。

8. “桑迪，你怎么不坐下吃饭 ?站着吃对身体不好。”

9. “ 我知道，妈妈，可我上学快迟到了，没时间坐着吃。”

10. “昨天做作业了吧，宝贝 ?”11. “ 做了。”12. “带乐器了吧 ?”13. “嗯哼。”

14. “中饭也带了 ?”

15. “带啦。”16. “刷过牙了 ?”

17. “妈，我还没吃完饭呢。吃完了再刷。”18. “ 你起来后就该刷牙，吃完早饭后再刷次牙。桑迪呀，你怎么穿起那件旧圆领衫了 ?恶心死了。我知道你壁柜里还有几件好看的衬衫。”

19. “妈，请别这样。”20. “ 别怎么样 ?”

21. “ 别这样烦我。”

22. “桑迪，你怎么描起眼线来了 ?”23. “ 我是描了，妈妈。我都描了几个月了。难道

不漂亮 ? 这可是法国紫蓝画眉。我就是喜欢它。”她妈妈有点生气，可桑迪装着没看见。

24. “桑迪 ·芬奇，你还太小，还不能化这么浓的妆。上楼去，把它洗掉。”

25. “妈，我都 15岁了，到了可以化妆的年龄了。给您说实话吧，学校的女孩子都化妆，有些还纹身，还在耳朵、鼻子、舌头上穿洞呢。妈，我现在没时间给您说，我快迟到了，得走了。再见。”桑迪匆匆吻了一下她妈妈的脸颊，拿起书冲出了屋子
