THE time-honored way to speak of young people is with horror. They’re wild, reckless, irresponsible , narcissistic, immoral and hopeless—and always have been.
Now along comes this generation of millennials, and we have a problem. They are raised on " service projects" , apply to Teach for America in torrents and donate to charity at a higher rate than their elders.【C1】______
One of the exemplars of this trend is Barbara Bush, 33. Yes, President George W. Bush’s daughter. Barbara joined her father on a 2003 trip to Africa and was staggered by the human toll of AIDS in Uganda. "That inequity blew my mind," she recalled.
【C2】______ After her return, she and five friends began brainstorming about how to help recruit more people to global health. Her connections opened doors—she’s frank about that—and they ended up starting Global Health Corps. Bush became chief executive at age 26.
Today Global Health Corps is booming.【C3】______
Barbara Bush acknowledges that her last name has opened doors and helped Global Health Corps expand, and she offers no apologies for her name.
"I’m crazy about my family," she said. "I was very much taught to care about the world. "
Her passion for service certainly echoes widely in her generation. Dr. Paul Farmer, the globe-trotting co-founder of Partners in Health, emailed me from Rwanda to say that when he was going into medical school there was little interest in global health. Now young people are passionate about getting involved.
【C4】______
I was initially suspicious of Global Health Corps, wondering how young people, often with no medical training, could be useful. But Bush points to a Global Health Corps logistics expert who worked on a drug supply chain in Tanzania, improving drug access. And architects worked on designing clinics in Rwanda with less air flow, so tuberculosis patients would be less likely to infect others.
" I’m a big fan of the Global Health Corps," said Dr. Peter Piot, who helped discover Ebola and later ran the United Nations program on AIDS.【C5】______
Bush’s family loyalty and health passions converge when Barbra speaks about her father’s program against AIDS, Pepfar—which has saved millions of lives(and is, in my view, his best legacy).
" I’ll probably burst into tears," she said when I asked about it. " I’m extremely proud of him for Pepfar. I’m extremely proud of him—I could talk to you till October about it!" And then she burst into tears.
[A]That was a relief, for it indicated some youthful irresponsibility for us to cluck-cluck at; A daughter and granddaughter of presidents, and she provokes a scandal!
[B]Basically, they’ve stabbed us older generations in the back with their idealism and altruism, robbing us of the opportunity to feel superior.
[C]It receives nearly 6,000 applications a year for fewer than 150 positions as fellows, and the program gets plenty of praise from health professionals.
[D]"They engage nonmedical people in global health"—and that, he said, is a central challenge of health care worldwide.
[E]She has a reputation as the liberal in the family, for she has spoken out in favor of gay rights, and at Global Health Corps has built ties to abortion rights groups like Planned Parenthood Global and Marie Stopes International.
[F]So she returned to Yale and took health classes, and then quietly took a job(while her father was still in the White House)in a South African hospital, often working with children with AIDS.
[G]"Looks from my view point that the ’me generation’(mine)has been replaced by a millennial generation much more focused on others," he wrote.

答案
B
解析
上文说,一直以来,老一辈人对年轻人总是持批评的态度,说他们年少轻狂、鲁莽、不负责任、自恋自负、道德败坏、无药可救,但是新千年一代的年轻人颠覆了这些标签。这些年轻人热衷志愿服务,捐款比他们父母更加积极。所以此处总结:基本上可以说,他们的理想主义和利他主义让老一辈措手不及,使我们没有资本在他们面前感觉高人一等。
