Generation Y is known as the generation that was born in the 1980s and 1990s, although experts do not agree on when this time started. The people who make up Generation Y are often the children of baby boomers（生育高峰中出生的人）.
The millennium（千禧年）generation, as it is often called, has grown up with new technology and can use it in their jobs much better than the older generation can. 36 They like to communicate via text messaging, Facebook and other online technology. They have high expectations and seek new challenges. 37
Generation Y youths have a different attitude towards work, which is different from that of their parents or grandparents. 38 They do not live to work but they work to live.
39 They want jobs that are flexible, not always having work from 9 a.m.to 5 p.m.. They prefer working from their homes and taking a day or two off to spend with their family when the weather is fine.
While baby boomers worked hard, grew up with a company and stayed there for the rest of their lives, Generation Y workers do not want to do the same thing during their whole life. 40 That means if you don't like what you do then do something else.
A. They want to spend most of their time at home. B. They expect to change jobs at least a few times. C. The new generation can be described as energetic.
D. Besides, they often dare to raise questions when confused. E. The Internet, cell phones, iPads are normal for this generation.
F. Young people expect a different type of workplace than their parents had. G. They don’t want to work as hard as their parents but spend their life in a meaningful way.

Eating organic food will not make you healthier, according to researchers at Stanford University, although it could cut your 61 (expose) to pesticides（杀虫剂）.

Overall, there 63 (be) no difference in the nutritional content, although organic food was 30% less likely 64 (contain) pesticides.
The researchers looked at 17 studies comparing people who ate organic 65
those who did not and 223 studies 66 compared the levels of nutrients, bacteria, and pesticides in various foods. However, none of the human studies ran for longer than two years, 67 (make) conclusions about long-term 68 (outcome) impossible. And all of the available evidence was 69 (relative) weak and highly variable, which the researchers said was unsurprising because of all the different variables.

Square dancing has been more and more popular with the elderly as their living conditions improve. Most people thought it can help people take regularly exercise and improve their fitness. Besides, it provides people more chances to take activities outdoor. However, some people argue that the music is very noisy, that disturbs the surrounding citizens’ normal life. Also, be exposed to such loud noise may do a harm to their health in the long run.
In my opinion, square dancing is a good form of exercise, so dancers should take our neighbors’ needs into consideration. If they choose a right time and turn down the music, it will cause less troubles for others. 第二节 书面表达（百强校英语解析团队专供）（满分25分）
