　　It is not surprising that generalizations about millennials—or about any generation — largely collapse under scrutiny. It is easy to confuse an observation about people of a given age with observations about a given generation. By virtue of their stage in life, they have particular hopes, worries, challenges and opportunities—all worthy of concern and study. The place to start is the assumption that the millennial generation are much like the people who came before them.
　　(想想你会怎么出题？)
　　The particular traits of the millennials are due to _____
　　(A) the difference of certain age groups
　　(B) the certain social development
　　(C) the particular aims and chances
　　(D) the difference from other generations.
　　解析：
　　这段文字其实比较深刻，要想通过读懂的方式来选择有一定难度。
　　但我们可以快速解题，通过形式逻辑解题。
　　题干原因，我们就找原因:
　　第三句中by virtue of= because of
　　they have particular hopes, worries, challenges and opportunities
　　= The particular traits of the millennials
　　所以：their stage in life=生命中的阶段
　　所以A选项就是正确选项，
　　the difference of certain age groups
　　（一些年龄阶段的不同）
　　其他三个选项定位就不对。
　　(C) the particular aims and chances
　　（特有的目标和机会）
　　这是对结果的替换，不是原因。
　　(B) the certain social development
　　（某种社会的发展）
　　听上去很合理的选项，但是其实文中没有依据。
　　(D) the difference from other generations.
　　（代际的不同）
　　这是文章反驳的，千禧一代的不同不是因为代际的不同，
　　其实就是不同年龄阶段的不同。就是40岁和20 岁的不同。
　　只要能找到和年轻自己的连接，就不会害怕老去。
　　词汇突破：
　　1.generalization概括；泛化 (归纳，找出某类事物的共性)
　　2.millennial千禧一代
　　3.collapse崩塌
　　4.observation观察
　　5.assumption假设
　　6.By virtue of 因为
　　7. scrutiny
