After our hospital visit, my husband and I needed cheering up, so we thought we would treat ourselves to a big breakfast at our favorite restaurant. While we were waiting for our meals, we decided to use all our small change and make our wallets light, so we counted it out as we waited.

I vaguely(含糊地) remember seeing a man sitting nearby. When our meals arrived, we found a note. It read,” Your breakfast has been paid for. Hope you have a lovely day.”

It was a wonderful surprise as nothing like that had ever happened to us. He must have thought we could hardly pay the bill. We looked around to thank him, but he had left. As retirees(退休者)，we were grateful for the help like this, but it was the kindness of a total stranger that meant so much more to us.

Can you remember a world before the Internet? If you answer is “no,” then you are probably a millennial. Millennials are the new generation of young Americans. They were born between 1982 and 1992. There are 33 million of them, and they are just starting to enter the workforce(勞動力). Many experts believe that millennials are different from young Americans of past generations. They also believe that millenials will change the workforce in important ways.

How are millennials different? They are the first generation born in the computer age. The internet has always been a part of their lives. They spend about 16 hours a week on the Internet, and this doesn’t include e-mail. And they spend 72 hours a week using other electronic media(媒體), including mobile phones and video games. They are “nation speakers” of the language of the computer age. People who were born earlier will never be native speakers of that language. Why not? They did not grow up “speaking” it.

How will millennials change the workforce? To answer that question, it is important to understand how millennials use the Internet. They use the Internet to communicate. They visit website such as FaceBook and MySpace every day. They share(分享)ideas, music, information, games, and friendships with people all over the world. When they start working, they will want to share their work and ideas with others.

  It is also important to understand the way millennials grew up. Thair parents and teachers gave them a lot of attention. They taught them that their opinions were valuable(有價值的). As a result, amny millennials are very cinfident. At work, they will expect their co-workers and bosses to listen to their opinions.

Millennials also grew up with a lot of structure in their lives. Many of them went to school from the age of two or three and played on sports teams. At work, they will expect the rules to be clear. They will also expect a strong but fair boss, like a coach on a sports team. They will follow the person in charge (主管) if he or she is fair. But they will not follow an unfair boss. They will also expect their work to be fun and creative, similar to their experience on a sports team.

These are a few of the changes that experts believe millennials will bring to the American workforce. But the world is changing very fast. There will probably be more changes that are difficult to imagine today.

1.According to the first paragraph of the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Millennials belong to a new generation.

B. Millennials were born about ten years ago.

C. Millennials are entering the workforce.

D. Millennials know little about the world before the Internet.

A. Millennials can speak a better native language.

B. Millennials grow up with computers and Internet. 

C. Millennials use mobile phones and e-mails often. D. Millennials spend long hours playing video games.

3.Why do the millennials experct to share their work and ideas with others?

A. Because they know how to use the Internet to make new friends.

B. Because they understand how to communicate with new friends.

C. Because they grow up sharing ideas, music, information, games, and friendships with others by the Internet.

D. Because the Internet can provide all the information they need.
