Finally,the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations.In a traditional culture,senior people are valued for their knowledge,but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date.The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds,separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt,the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come. 1.The first paragraph tells us that A.the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from people B.it is out of date to talk about the generation gap C.children and parents are trying to understand each other D.it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other
