Question

We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us — in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our   51   have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us   52   everything to their kindness and love.

When we   53   them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or   54    them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of   55   our own love and gratitude to them.    56  , elders have also been through all the years you are   57   and know a little more about the world than you do.

    It is   58   that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always   59   with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human   60  . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their   61  .

   With changing times and   62   influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should   63  express their views and if there are arguments, they should not   64   their voices.

If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately   65   their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are   66   to give up their places to older people. This is not a   67   of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear   68  , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a   69   disadvantage.

When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become   70   that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.

17.who has more rights这是争论的话题，所以用question。

18.or tolerate unpleasantness和前文内容是同样概念，因此与bear搭配的名词就是discomfort。

19.show consideration to those，根据文章主旨those指的就是弱势群体，所以disadvantage前应该用slight。

20.先要意识到之后才能respond，因此用aware，become aware that …“意识到……”。
