Lesson 5-2 Youth
I find young people exciting. They have an air of freedom, and they have 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 sense, cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban creatures. All that is in my mind when I meet a young person. He may be conceited, ill-mannered, presumptuous or fatuous, but I do not turn for protection to dreary clichés about respect for elders -- 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.

练习感悟:
1 被夸奖啦~我自己也觉得读的不错,不过录音会有什么噪音在里面,会显得声音比较纯。
2 还是有些急躁的,能够读的更好!
3 新四开头的几篇不长,但是单词和句子的难度上来了,不知道感觉的对不对。
