[交流] NCE4-lesson 5 youth

when i started to reciting NCE lessons. i found my pronunciation and listening abilty were improved. i will continue reciting and i suggest that if you had time, you should start reciting, justing reading is OK.
Lesson 5 youth
People are always talking about ‘the problem of youth’. If there is one—which I take leave to doubt—then it is the older people who create it, not the young themselves. 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: that 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 me a certain 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 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 senses, cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban creatures. All that is in my mind when I meet a young person. They may be conceited, ill-mannered, presumption and fatuous, but I do not turn for protection to dreary clichés about respect of elder—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.
