问题     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.
【C4】
选项
答案G
解析 上文保罗说，当年他读医学院时，同学当中几乎没人对全球卫生事业感兴趣，但现在的年轻人对此满腔热情。本段承接上一段，摘录保罗邮件的原话：“在我看来，以‘我’为中心的那代人已被新千年一代取代，这代人更加关心身边的其他人。"故选[G]。
