It is a fact universally accepted that Britons dislike immigration. Sure enough, when travel restrictions on Romanians and Bulgarians(imposed when their countries joined the EU)were lifted on January 1st, newspapers and politicians fretted. Two MPs even took it upon themselves to meet a morning flight from Bucharest and quiz its passengers. Yet a report published on January 2nd by Ip-sos MORI, a polling firm, shows attitudes to be more varied.
A widening gap divides those born before 1965 from younger folk. Although immigrants are often said to deprive younger Britons of entry-level jobs and housing, members of Generation Y(born in 1980 or later)and Generation X(born between 1966 and 1979)are ambivalent towards them. By contrast, the baby boomers(born between 1945 and 1965)and the old, who benefit most from cheap carers and cleaners, counterintuitively think immigrants a drag. Age influences opinion more strongly than social class does.
This makes Britain an oddity. Ipsos MORI conducted the same study in Germany, and found the views of the young and the old to be converging. According to Robert Ford of the University of Manchester, the gap between the old and the young is larger in Britain than in America, France or Spain, too.
Different life experiences explain why. When baby boomers were in their politically formative teens and early 20s, Britain was a pretty homogeneous place; before the mid-1970s it was closer to the Commonwealth than to continental Europe. That generation grew up doubtful about diversity. East European immigrants, who began arriving in large numbers in the mid-2000s, doubly offend them. Bobby Duffy of Ipsos MORI, who has conducted focus groups with members of this generation , reports that the prospect of retirement makes people worry about their children’s chances.
For Generation X, mass immigration, European integration and multiculturalism are part of the furniture. They grew up in a more individualistic Britain; which, says Mr Ford, explains their relative distaste for authority, homogeneity and flag-waving. This, like university attendance(more common among this group than their parents), tends to make people more tolerant of different races and nationalities. Thus Generation X’s experiences are closer to those of Generation Y than to the baby boomers—a fact reflected in Ipsos MORI’s findings.
Robert Ford found that______.

A、the views of the young and the old are converging in Germany
B、generation gap is larger in the UK, compared with many others
C、Britain seems to be unique because people have different views

B
解析
根据题干中的Robert Ford定位到第三段第二行的According to Robert Ford一处,故答案来自之后的一句话,即该段最后一句:the gap between the old and the young is larger inBritain than in America,France or Spain,too.根据该句可以判断出选项[B]与之是同义替换关系,其余选项都非该题目所问答案。
