完形填空（20 分）

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从下列各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Many people of my generation(代，一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that  11   people behave today.

Their first argument（论点） is that when we were young we used to look after the   12   people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t   13   about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no  14   . People had to live with their   15   and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more   16   to live where they want.

  Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect （盼望，期待）to be given jobs -----and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain（抱怨） about   17   . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts（关系）. It is really   18  today.

  In conclusion I think there is hope for the  19   . This generation, like generations before them, has new  20   as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.
