问答题 The generation gap is so great in Hong Kong that the teenagers there rarely turn to their parents or teachers for advice on anything. Whether it be sex, AIDS, school worries or family problems, adults are not considered up to the job.
Until now, no one has asked Hong Kong youth, "What do you think?" Some understanding of the emotions of Hong Kong"s youth, however, has come from the work of Dr. Jeffrey Day—at the University of Hong Kong. His survey of young people does not focus, for example, on how many drugs they take—but tries to answer the question why.
Dr. Day hopes the results, which he plans to explain in full next week, will reveal what troubles—as well as pleases—today"s high-school students. Conclusions will be passed on not only to government departments but back to the schools which took part.
【正确答案】
【答案解析】在香港,代沟的问题很严重,十几岁的孩子很少向父母或老师征询意见。不管是性、艾滋病、学校中遇到的麻烦,还是家庭问题,他们都认为大人们是帮不上任何忙的。
迄今为止,没人问过香港的年轻人:“你在想什么?”然而,香港大学的杰弗里·戴博士所做的研究使我们对香港年轻人的情感有了一些了解。他对年轻人的调查,重点不是问他们服用多少种毒品之类的问题,而是试图找到其中缘由。
戴博士计划在下周全面解释研究的结果。他希望研究能揭示当今高中学生的喜和忧。研究结论不仅将送呈政府部门,也将通报参加这项调查的学校。
