17、ple and their elders. Parents 2 that children did not show them proper respect and 3 , while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? 4 , the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many 5 argue
18、that it is built into the fabric of our society. One important cause of the generation gap is the 6 when young people have to choose their own life-styles. In more 7 societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know
19、 and 8 of, and often to continue the family 9 . In our society, young people often travel great distances for their educations, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents. In o
20、ur upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them
21、. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other. Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the 10 . In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime

They breathed a mix of dus
23、t, smoke and chemicals in the ruins of the Twin Towers and a third building that fell. Some went clays without good protection for their 1 . Five years later, many of the thousands who worked at Ground Zero in the early days after the attacks still have health problems. Doctors at Mount Sinai Medica
24、l Center in New York City have 2 the results of the largest study of these workers. The study 3 high rates of breathing problems in members of the building traders, firefighters, police officers and other workers. Almost seventy percent of the workers in the study had a new or worsened breathing pro
25、blem. These problems developed during or after their time working in the mountain of 4 . About sixty percent still had breathing problems at the time of their 5 . The researchers say they decided to study the effects on breathing first because other disorders might be slower to appear. Mount Sinai s
26、ays it tested almost twelve thousand people between two thousand two and two thousand four. Eight out of ten of them agreed to have their results used in the report. The new results added strength to a Mount Sinai study released in two thousand four. That study was based on only about one thousand w
27、orkers. Some lawmakers have 6 criticized city and state officials for letting workers labor at Ground Zero without 7 equipment. Officials have also been 8 for saying the air was relatively safe. State and federal 9 have promised more than fifty million dollars to pay for 10 of the workers. Doctor Ro
28、bin Herbert is one of the directors of the Mount Sinai testing program. She says people are still coming to the hospital for treatment of problems that were caused by the dust at Ground Zero.

Two species of deer have been prevalent in the Puget Sound area
30、 of Washington State in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The black-tailed deer, lowland, west-side cousin of the mule deer of eastern Washington, is now the most common. The other species, the Columbian white-tailed deer, in earlier times was common in the open prairie country, it is now
31、restricted to the low, marshy islands and flood plains along the lower Columbia River. B. Nearly any kind of plant of the forest understory can be part of a deer“s diet. Where the forest inhibits the growth of grass and other meadow plants, the black-tailed deer browses on huckleberry, salal, dogwoo
32、d, and almost any other shrub or herb. But this is fair-weather feeding. What keeps the black-tailed deer alive in the harsher seasons of plant decay and dormancy? One compensation for not hibernating is the built-in urge to migrate. Deer may move from high-elevation browse areas in summer down to t
33、he lowland areas in late fall. Even with snow on the ground, the high bushy understory is exposed; also snow and wind bring down leafy branches of cedar, hemlock, red alder, and other arboreal fodder. C. The numbers of deer have fluctuated markedly since the entry of Europeans into Puget Sound count
34、ry. The early explorers and settlers told of abundant deer in the early 1800s and yet almost in the same breath bemoaned the lack of this succulent game animal. Famous explorers of the north American frontier, Lewis and Clark had experienced great difficulty finding game west of the Rockies and not
35、until the second of December did they kill their first elk. To keep 40 people alive that winter, they consumed approximately 150 elk and 20 deer. And when game moved out of the lowlands in early spring, the expedition decided to return east rather than face possible starvation. Later on in the early
36、 years of the nineteenth century, when Fort Vancouver became the headquarters of the Hudson“s Bay Company, deer populations continued to fluctuate. David Douglas, Scottish botanical explorer of the 1830s found a disturbing change in the animal life around the fort during the period between his first
37、 visit in 1825 and his final contact with the fort in 1832. A recent Douglas biographer states: “The deer which once picturesquely dotted the meadows around the fort were gone (in 1832), hunted to extermination in order to protect the crops.“ D. Reduction in numbers of game should have boded ill for
38、 their survival in later times. A worsening of the plight of deer was to be expected as settlers encroached on the land, logging, burning, and clearing, eventually replacing a wilderness landscape with roads, cities, towns, and factories. No doubt the numbers of deer declined still further. Recall t
39、he fate of the Columbian white-tailed deer, now in a protected status. E. But for the black-tailed deer, human pressure has had just the opposite effect. Wild life zoologist Hulmut Buechner (1953), in reviewing the nature of biotic changes in Washington through recorded time, Says that “since the ea
40、rly 1940s, the state has had more deer than at any other time in its history, the winter population fluctuating around approximately 320,000 deer (mule and black-tailed deer), which will yield about 65,000 of either sex and any age annually for an indefinite period.“ F. The causes of this population
41、 rebound are consequences of other human actions. First, the major predators of deerwolves, cougar, and lynxhave been greatly reduced in numbers. Second, conservation has been insured by limiting times for and types of hunting. But the most profound reason for the restoration of high population numb
42、ers has been the gate of the forests. Great tracts of lowland country deforested by logging, fire, or both have become ideal feeding grounds of deer. G. In addition to finding an increase of suitable browse, like huckleberry and vine maple, Arthur Einarsen, longtime game biologist in the Pacific Nor
43、thwest, found quality of browse in the open areas to be substantially more nutritive. The protein content of shade-grown vegetation, for example, was much lower than that for plants grown in clearings. H. Deer are the ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. Species in the family include white-
44、tailed deer, mule deer such as black-tailed deer, elk, moose, red deer, reindeer (caribou), fallow deer, roe deer and chital. I. Male deer of all species (except the Chinese water deer) and also female reindeer grow and shed new antlers each year. In this they differ from permanently horned animals
45、such as antelope; these are in the same order as deer and may bear a superficial resemblance. The musk deer of Asia and water chevrotain (or mouse deer) of tropical African and Asian forests are not usually regarded as true deer and from their own families, Moschidae and Tragulidae, respectively. J.
46、 Deer are widely distributed, with indigenous representatives in all continents except Antarctica and Australia, though Africa has only one native species, the red deer, confined to the Atlas Mountains in the northwest of the continent. However, fallow deer have been introduced to South Africa. K. D
47、eer live in a variety of biomes ranging from tundra to the tropical rainforest. While often associated with forests, many deer are ecotone species that live in transitional areas between forests and thickets (for cover) and prairie and savanna (open space). L. The majority of large deer species inha
48、bit temperate mixed forest, mountain mixed coniferous forest, tropical seasonal/dry forest, and savanna habitats around the world. Clearing open areas within forests to some extent may actually benefit deer populations by exposing the understory and allowing the types of grasses, weeds, and herbs to
49、 grow that deer like to eat. M. Additionally, access to adjacent croplands may also benefit deer. However, adequate forest or plants must still be provided for populations to grow and thrive. N. Small species of brocket deer and puds of Central and South America, and muntjacs of Asia generally occupy dense forests and are less oft
