Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s
following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut (初次登台).
Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle. 2
Earphones
These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s. They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101
players, giving these young people a plugged-in, cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not
always music to the ears.
Martian language
They have created their own code-like online language. 3 , so perhaps only Martians can understand.
This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers.
Self-Portrait
Saying "cheese" to their own digital cameras is usual for this generation. A little bit of narcissism (自恋)
never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives. 4
Text-messaging
5 . This is a generation that respects efficiency. However, oral communication is important and will
never go out of style.
A. a story
B. a news report
C. a letter
D. an advertisement
