阅读《老人与海鸥》片段，回答下列问题

    意想不到的事情发生了──一群海鸥突然飞来，围着老人的遗像翻飞盘旋，连声鸣叫，叫声和姿态与平时大不一样，像是发生了什么大事。我们非常惊异，急忙从老人的照片旁退开，为海鸥们让出了一片空地。

    海鸥们急速扇动翅膀，轮流飞到老人遗像前的空中，像是前来瞻仰遗容的亲属。照片上的老人默默地注视着盘旋翻飞的海鸥们，注视着与它相伴了多少个冬天的“儿女”们……过了一会儿，海鸥纷纷落地，竟在老人遗像前后站成了两行。它们肃立不动，像是为老人守灵的白翼天使。

   当我们不得不去收起遗像的时候，海鸥们像炸了营似的朝遗像扑过来。它们大声鸣叫着，翅膀扑得那样近，我们好不容易才从这片飞动的白色漩涡中脱出身来。

    Young people and older people don't always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special programme in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.

    Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.

    There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.

    When people live together, rules are necessary. In this programme the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”

    One of the teenagers has this to say about his experience, “You stop thinking only about yourself, You learn to think about the group.”
