7、柔和的音樂的時候， 年輕人會 開大重金屬音樂的音量。當父母 伸手拿雨傘的時候，年輕人已經(jīng) 沖到雨中去了。為什么年輕人要 故意聽令人不快的 音樂，留很奇怪的發(fā)型，畫很濃的妝，吃惡心的東西呢？許多父母會 難以忍受他們的子女的行為。 但是這些家長們忘記了他們自己年輕時也曾經(jīng)做過 一模一樣 的事情，希望能夠 引起年長的一代對他們的注意。 密切關(guān)注年輕人的成長并與他們進行有效地交流是 消除代溝的最有效的途徑。When the parents lay listening to some soft music, the young tend to turn up the heavy metal.

10、了,意見被置之不理 ; 當長輩無法 容忍年輕一代相同或者相似錯誤的時候， 年長的一代人 毀掉的是自己在年輕一代人心中的可信度。這也是為什么孩子們有什么問題更傾向于征求 同伴的意見 ，而不是父母的觀點。 許多家長在發(fā)現(xiàn)自己 失去了對孩子的 影響力，無法接近孩子的時候，往往把責(zé)任歸咎于 不同的價值觀和信仰 。Anattitudeof mutualrespectandtrustisthekey tobridge the generation gap.

18、就是喜歡他那 堅持勁 ”。這份合同可是迄今為之本公司最大的一筆交易，取得如此的 成績也不過因為兩個字： 堅持。而今，身為銷售部經(jīng)理，邁克 意氣風(fēng)發(fā) ，事業(yè)蒸蒸日上 ，現(xiàn)在他真的集諸多6優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)于一身了。Itrequiressomebasicqualitiestobea successful salesperson,ranging fromintelligence tohumor, from attitudetoconsistency .
