Lesson5 Youth
First listen and then answer the following question:
How does the writer like to treat young people?
People are alw-ays talking abo-ut＇the problem of youth＇.
If there is one-which I take leave to doubt-
then it is older people who create it,
not the young them-selves.
Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are
after all human beings-people just like their elders.
There is only one difference between an old man
and a young one: the young man
has a glorious future before him and the old one
has a splendid future behind him:
and maybe that is where the rub is.
When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young
and uncertain-that I was a new boy in a huge school,
and I would have been very pleased to be regarded
as something so interesting as a problem.
For one thing,being a problem gives you a cer-tain identity,
and that is one of the things the young are
busily engaged in seeking.I find young people exciting.
They have an air of freedom,
and they have not a dreary commitment to mean ambitions
or love of comfort.
They are not anxious social climbers,
and they have no devotion to material things.
All this seems to me to link them with life,
and the origins of things. It＇s as if they were,in some sense,
cosmic beings in violent and lov-ely contrast
with us suburban creatures.
All that is in my mind when I meet a young person,
He may be conc-eited, illmann-ered, presumptu-ous or fatuous,
but I do not turn for prot-ection to drea-ry clich és
about respect for elders-
as if mere age were a reason for respect.
I accept that we are equals, and I will argue with him,
as an equal, if I think he is wrong.
