It's a truth universally acknowledged that every generation thinks the one that follows it lacks character,work ethic and respect for its elders. In 350 B.C.,Aristotle lamented that the young“think they know everything ” and “show absence of self-control. They are changeable and fickle in their desires, which are violent while they last, but quickly over.” More recently, baby boomers had similarly unkind words for Gen X, as did Gen X for millennials,and millennials for Gen Z. 知识点：cohort n. /ˈkəʊhɔːt/ （有共同特点的）一群人；同龄人；一代人 • Gen Alpha is the largest cohort in history. 阿尔法一代是历史上规模最大的一代人。 • This cohort of students performs better in math. 这一批学生的数学成绩更好。 获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！   【节目介绍】   《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。   所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。   【适合谁听】   1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 &nbsp…
