We had the baby boomers of the 1960s, followed by Gene
18、ration X and then Generation Y, often referred to as millennials, and the new kids on the block are Generation Z - aged between 16 and 22. Its easy to classify these young people as all being the same, sharing the same attitudes towards lifebut is that fair?People from Generation Z, informally calle
19、d Z-ers, may be viewed by others as digital natives, incapable of real-world friendships. But they actually view themselves as hardworking, ambitious and about to change the world for the better. The previous generation, born between the mid-1980s and late 1990s - the millennials were also thought t
20、o have these characteristics. But many people view this new generation as “mini-millennials because Z-ers are different and they have their own set of values and preferences which consumer brands need to cater for.Its true to say that technology is playing an important part in the lives of Generatio
21、n Z, particularly in the area of social media. In fact, they have not known life without it and using it to communicate, share ideas and campaign is second nature. It means they have more of a say on what we eat, drink and buy than any generation before them. These young people certainly need to be
22、listened to by retailers (零售商) and businesses - they are the people with time on their hands and money.But being a Z-er comes with pressure.

26、man and half Irish. Immediately, he said: “Thats quite an odd combination. Its like, this must be done absolutely perfectly tomorrow”.This joke played on stereotypes (刻板印象) of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy. Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions. W
27、e do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy?I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being generally rather casual and more outwardly friendly than many European countries. German business people, on the other hand, a
28、re considered to be very direct and according to the website, they do not need a personal relationship in order to do business. Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.So why do some people disapprove of the kind of st
29、ereotypes as seen in Clarksons joke, but not batting an eyelid when it comes to generalisations.What is the difference between the two?By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. A cultural characteristic, on the ot
30、her hand, is a pattern of behaviour that is typical of a certain group.So what does thisreallymean? Stereotypes are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people. Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claim
31、ed that Swiss people can play the alphorn. This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourists experience.If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic. This is because it is a p
32、attern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings.In this way, some people argue that generalising another culture is not just useful, but important. Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different coun
33、tries. By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures.However, others argue that generalising cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes. They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalising cultures and start treating pe
34、ople as individuals.All this raises important questions: can making generalisations about groups of people be a positive thing? Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions about different groups?1.When he said, “Its like, this must be done absolutely perfectly tomorrow”, Jeremy Clarkson reall
35、y meant _.A.the Germans will do it perfectly tomorrow while the Irish wontB.the combination of half German and half Irish is interestingC.the characteristics of the Germans and the Irish are oppositeD.the stereotypes of the Germans and the Irish are not so good2.Which of the following is TRUE accord
36、ing to the passage?A.The Irish people are considered as lazy, direct and casual.B.The Germans are thought to be efficient, friendly and direct.C.The Swiss can play the alphorn quite well.D.Its typical of the Swiss to be punctual.3.Politicians think it important to generalize another culture because
