Unit 2 Section a A Busy Weekday morning I Background Information 1. Generation Gap Generation gap refers to the distance and contradiction between the old and young. It is a common phenomenon that exits everywhere in the world and influences both the old and 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 2. Rock and roll 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 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 com bined elements of blues, boogie- woogle(一种爵士乐), jazz and rhythm and blues together, and it was also influenced by traditional folk music, gospel( ta E) music,black and white, and country and western music. Going back even further, rock and roll can trace a direct lineage 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 sand dances with melody driven European genres, particularly the Irish jig(快步舞)。 Ⅱ. Text Analysis The author presents what Sandy did on a weekday morning through a time order, describing a series of actions according to a sequenced order. To describe something according to the order of time is especially common with narrative writing.
