Background Information. 1)  Rock and Roll （搖滾樂） Rock and Roll, also called Rock, is a form of popular music, usually characterized with vocals (often with vocal harmony backing, electric guitars and saxophones in the early days) and a strong back beat. Rock and Roll emerged（顯現(xiàn)）as a defined musical style in America in the 1950s, though the elements of rock and roll can be traced in rhythm and blues records as far back as in the 1920s. Early rock and roll combined elements of blues, boogie-woogie（一種爵士樂）, jazz and rhythm and blues together, and it was also influenced by traditional folk music, gospel（福音）music, black and white, and country and western music. Going back even further, rock and roll can trace a direct lineage（世系）back to the old Five Points district of mid-1800s New York City, the scene of the first fusion between heavily rhythmic African shuffles and san dances with melody driven European genres, particularly the Irish jig（快步舞）. 2.)  Generation gap （代溝） Generation gap refers to the distance and contradiction between the old and the young. It is a common phenomenon that exists everywhere in the world and influences both the old and the young. Generally speaking, generation gap results in different understanding and appreciation of the great and constant changes of the world, different reactions to new things, and different attitudes to traditional principles and beliefs.   3)  Six Different Generations (in USA) According to some report from abroad, there are five different generations in American history and even one more in the future, and each generation receives a particular name.   ①G.I. Generation(Born 1901 to 1924)   Members of G.I. Generation are high achiever, fearless but not reckless, patriotic, idealistic, and morally conscientious.       General/Government Issue   ② Silent Generation (Born 1925 to 1942)   Members of Silent Generation are considered cautious, unadventurous, unimaginative, withdrawn and silent.   ③ Boomer Generation( Born 1943 to 1960)   The Boom Generation developed under parents’ care dedicated to nurturing their children to success. Boomers seemed to develop personalities that mixed high self-esteem with self-indulgence.  （Beetles）   ④ 13ER Generation ( Born 1961 to 1981)   Generation “X” or the “13ER” appear shocking to others on the outside and unknown on the inside.     ⑤ Millennial Generation( Born 1982 to 2003) This is the generation where the “Class of 2000” is born. This new generation is being treated as precious. This is the generation of hope, hope to correct the errors of their parents.     ⑥ Futuristic Generation  (Born after 2003 )   Fantastic opportunities are sure to be part of the Futuristic Generation’s future, but deciding which one to pursue and which one to bypass will be a difficult choice.     4) tattoo (參考教參P33及本單元聽力教案)   Warm-up Questions / Activities 1.Quotations about Generations：Try to put these quotations into Chinese.   Twenty can’t be expected to tolerate sixty in all things, and sixty gets bored stiff with twenty’s eternal love affairs. — Emily Carr   What one generation sees as a luxury, the next sees as a necessity. — Anthony Crosland   From the earliest times the old have rubbed it into the young that they are wiser than they, and before the young had discovered what nonsense this was they were old too, and it profited them to carry on the imposture. — Maugham, W. Somerset 2. Listen to A Poem: Generation Gap 1)Listen carefully, and try to figure out the differences in the poet’s eyes when he was a boy and later when he is an adult; 2)We may cross out some words and make the practice an compound diction. (Tips for Understanding: At the beginning and in the middle of the poem, you will find the repetition of a place and time: platform and “it’s quarter to eight”, which marks the 2 different periods of the poet’s life: one is when he was a child, the other, when he has grown up.) The Generation Gap   We’re all on the platform it’s quarter-to-eight A handful of schoolboys—our train’s running late But we couldn’t care, oh no, not at all We’re scratching our names on the dusty brown wall.     The scene never changes—it’s always the same The people the posters, the station, the train, The bloke with the hotdogs who walks up and down, And that fat little bloke with the permanent frown.   There’s the woman who stands in her own special place And stares at the rails—not a smile on her face. Some people do crosswords and others read books There are boring old adults wherever we look.   Now the books are all closing, the newspapers rustle The train’s coming in and they’re starting to bustle, Then strangely, each one (every day it’s the same) Walk down the old platform to get on the train.     We like to play “chicken” and “l(fā)ast person in” The train starts to leave, but we all want to win. We mustn’t give in—it’s our unwritten law Then all of us suddenly bolt for a door.     We bundle aboard—what a laugh, what a game! The “stick-in-the-muds” don’t agree and complain. We think they’re so boring, so dull and so thick. At least we like fun: get a thrill, get a kick.   I swear when I’m older that I’ll never be A boring old twit like the adults I see.     I’m down at the station it’s quarter-to-eight I should be at work, but my train’s running late. I’m thinking this grubby old place needs a clean When a handful of schoolboys arrive on the scene.   They spit and they swear and they call us rude names They’re noisy, abusive and play silly games. I find myself thinking, “when I was a lad, I simply had fun—I was never that had.”   But all of a sudden—to my great dismay, I recall that was just what my dad used to say. 七點(diǎn)四十五分，我們都在站臺(tái)上， 我們這群學(xué)童——火車又晚點(diǎn)了。 我們才不介意呢！晚點(diǎn)又有什么關(guān)系呢？ 我們可以將名字劃在積滿灰塵的墻上。   這些的場景永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)改變――天天如此。 同樣的人，同樣的海報(bào)，同樣的車站，同樣的火車。 同樣一個(gè)手拿熱狗，在站臺(tái)走上走下的家伙， 同樣一個(gè)整天眉頭緊鎖的矮胖男人。   有個(gè)女人每天總是固定地站在一個(gè)地方， 茫然地看著鐵軌――臉上沒有半點(diǎn)笑容。 有些人在做填字游戲，有些人在看書， 放眼過去，盡是枯燥無味的成年人。   書和報(bào)紙都被快速地收了起來， 火車來了，人們忙碌了起來。 如此奇怪，為趕著上車，每個(gè)人（天天如此） 又在殘陽的站臺(tái)上走開了。   我們喜歡玩“雞仔跳”和，“看誰最后一個(gè)上車”的游戲， 火車就要開了，可我們都想贏。 我們不能放棄的――這是我們不成文的原則。 突然間，大家急匆匆地往車門奔跑。   我們開心地?cái)D在一起，嚷了起來――多好玩的游戲啊！ 那些守舊的大人們看不慣，斥責(zé)我們。 我們覺得他們又悶又蠢， 至少我們玩得很開心，想怎么玩就怎么玩。   等我長大的時(shí)候，我絕對(duì)不要像 我看見的那些成年人那樣。   七點(diǎn)四十五分，我在車站等車。 我要趕著去上班，可火車又晚點(diǎn)了。 我正想著――這個(gè)邋遢的車站真應(yīng)該好好清洗了， 一群學(xué)童也跑了出來。   他們吐口水，說臟話，還用很難聽的名字稱呼我們， 他們大聲喧嘩，任性妄為，玩的都是無聊的游戲。 我不禁在想：“在我小的時(shí)候， 我也喜歡玩，可我沒那么壞！”   突然之間，連我都覺得不可思議， 我想起這些正是我父親常掛在嘴邊的話。   3.
