Today's workplace is unique in history.Never before have we seen people working together who represent such different backgrounds and experiences.This difference of age,race,gender,and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a pany.
As a result,panies are looking for individuals who can manage a wide range of employees effectively. Increasingly,managers are discovering that age differences among workers are a major cause of concern.
This has been an important realization.The management difficulties and challenges have led some experts to study intergenerational differences for an understanding of problems in the workplace.What they have discovered is interesting and may provide ways of improving working conditions in panies that employ individuals from different generations.
The first thing to realize,they say,is that differences of opinion about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence.That is,it is not an accident that young

D.Paying powerline $50.00 a year.
employees will be different from older employees.In fact,if employers do not pay attention to these differences,it is possible that anger will build up between people and lead to difficulties in the pany.
Resentment（仇恨）between members of different generations,if not attended to（处理）,can lead to extreme anger and unhappiness and even lasting enmity if people are not careful.That individuals from different generations should e to view each other as if they were from different sides of warring countries should not be surprising.
It is natural for individuals from the same generation to form alliances（联盟）,to e together for protection. Different generations represent different experiences in life,and these lead naturally to different opinions about oneself and one's approaches to work.
If you were raised in a time of plenty,when products were readily available and relatively inexpensive,you would believe that prosperity is natural and expectable.If,on the other hand,you were raised in a time of scarcity,you would always be careful not to waste things for fear you would not have enough.You would make angry people who seem to believe that problems will always solve themselves.Such optimism in the face of difficulties would be a source of unhappiness between you and them.It is difficult,in such circumstances,to achieve a happy,agreeable atmosphere in the workplace.

A.Employees work in different styles. B.Employees are in different races. C.Employees are in different generations.
D.Employees are of different backgrounds.

On October 23,2018,David Pologruto,a high school physics teacher,was stabbed（刺）by his smart student Jason Haffizulla.Jason got straight A's and was determined to study medicine at Harvard,yet this was his downfall.His physics teacher gave Jason a B,a mark Jason believed would undermine his entrance to Harvard.After receiving his B,Jason took a butcher knife to school and stabbed his physics teacher.
How can someone as smart as Jason do something so dumb?Studies show there is little or no correlation between IQ and emotional intelligence.
During my early university years,I regarded myself as an intelligent guy.I got good marks in mathematics, physics,and other subjects.I thought such skills would surely give me a bright future.After one year of study with decent marks,I began to see two major classes of students.The first category of students turned up to few lectures, partied every weekend,enjoyed a great social life,and did minimal work to pass courses.The second category of students were intelligent and hard workers who got good grades and were very focused on their studies.Surely would these intelligent and hard-working students find the great jobs before the other lazier class of students?
Not so.Students are often shocked upon graduation that their qualifications are not as important as they once thought.Graduates enter the workforce only to realize that co-workers hate them and less intelligent people are the ones receiving promotions.
Educational skills are useless in some industries when interpersonal skills are absent.You can have great ideas, theories,and solve plex problems,but if you cannot effectively municate in a persuasive and exciting manner by relating to your fellow humans,you will face an uphill battle in whatever challenges you encounter.It's not that people dislike you because of your intelligence;it's that people dislike you because you're rude and not understanding. The intelligent person with poor munication skills is insensitive or unaware of others' emotions. 29.Jason Haffizulla stabbed his physics teacher because_______. A.he was unfairly treated by his teacher downfall
C.he was not smart enough at studies 30.What does the underlined word \A.understand
B.destroy
C.dig
D.found
D.he got a worse mark than usual
B.he was disappointed with his
31.Intelligent people are hated because_______. A.they are not considerate enough they meet
B.they can't settle the challenges
