阅读理解People today are still talking about the generation gap(代沟). Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all.
What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared?
One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people on their children are another cause of the generation gap.
Parents often expect their children to do better than they do, to find better jobs, to make more money; the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap.
Finally, the high speed of social changes deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of use overnight(隔夜).
阅读理解If a writer is going to write an article or other writings, he should go through some common stages in the writing process, from the preliminary(初步的) stage of brainstorming ideas all the way to the highly polished final draft, which is the last stage in writing before going to press.
After the initial stage of generating ideas, a rough plan or outline usually follows in the form of a mind map. This can then be transformed into the next stage, which is a more tightly structured written outline. At this point, the writer will now be ready to compose a rough or first draft.
The writer will then arrive at the revision stage of writing, and may ask for guidance or suggestions from other writers. After some deliberation the second draft is written in the subsequent stage. This in turn goes through to the final revision or proof-reading stage. After everything has been checked through carefully, the piece of writing reaches the final stage.

阅读理解According to a survey in the US, age and gender have great influence on the frequency of heart attacks.
Less than 6% of all heart attacks occur in the 29 to 44 age group. The number of women who suffer heart attacks in this group is negligible(微不足道的)——only 3000 per year, compared to 123,000 men.
However the proportion of men and women with heart attacks rises dramatically between 45 and 64, with over half a million per year. Over 420,000 men a year in this age group have heart attacks. The incidence amongst women increases——women have one heart attack for every three men in this age group.
Over the age of 65, the number of men suffering heart attacks only increases slightly. However there is a huge increase in the number of women with heart attacks——they comprise over 40% of all victims.
From the survey, it is clear that men are more likely to be the victims of heart attacks at all ages, but women are increasingly likely over the age of 60.

阅读理解The water level of oceans rises and falls alternatively (交替) twice a day. This movement of water is galled the tide. Tides are caused by the pull of the sun and the moon on the earth''s surface; since the moon is much closer, it affects tides more than the sun. When the moon is directly overhead, it actually pulls on the water that is below it. This causes the water level to rise because the water is pulled away from the earth. As the moon disappears over the horizon, the pull lessens and the water level settles back towards the ocean bottom.
When the water reaches its highest level, we have high tide. And when the water reaches its lowest level, we have low tide. From its lowest point, the water rises gradually for about six hours until it reaches low tide. Then the cycle begins again.

阅读理解Managers cannot always wait for information to arrive in bits and pieces from the marketing intelligence system. They often require formal studies of specific situations. For example, Toshiba wants to know how many and what kinds of people or companies will buy its new superfast laptop computer. Or Barat College in Lake Forest, Illinois, needs to know what percentage of its target market has heard of Barat, how they heard, what they know, and how they feel about Barat. In such situations, the marketing intelligence system will not provide the detailed information needed. Managers will need marketing research.
We define marketing research as the systematic design, collection, analysis, and reporting of data and findings relevant to a specific marketing situation facing an organization. Every marketer needs research. Marketing researchers engage in a wide variety of activities, ranging from market potential and market share studies, to assessments of customer satisfaction and purchase behavior, to studies of pricing, distribution, and promotion activities.
A company can conduct marketing research in its own research department or have some or all of it done outside. Although most large companies have their own marketing research departments, they often use outside firms to do special research tasks or studies. A company with no research department has to buy the services of research firms.
