A gravity-incorporated standard model is constructed in a generalized differential geometry (GDG) on R<sub>4</sub>×X<sub>2</sub>. Here, R<sub>4</sub> and X<sub>2</sub> are the four-dimensional Riemann space and two-point discrete space, respectively. A GDG on R<sub>4</sub>×X<sub>2</sub> is constructed by adding the basis χ<sub>n</sub> (n = 1,2) of the differential form on X<sub>2</sub> to the ordinary basis dx<sup>µ</sup> on R<sub>4</sub>, and so it is a direct generalization of the differential geometry on the continuous manifold. A GDG is a version of non-commutative geometry (NCG). We incorporate gravity by simply replacing the derivative <sub>µ</sub> by the covariant derivative <sub>µ</sub> + ω<sub>µ</sub> for a general coordinate transformation in the definition of the generalized gauge field on R<sub>4</sub>×X<sub>2</sub>, keeping other parts unchanged. The Yang-Mills-Higgs Lagrangian for the standard model is obtained by taking the inner product of two generalized field strengths, whereas the Einstein-Hilbert gravitational Lagrangian is created by the inner product of a generalized field strength and a tensor {E<sup>a</sup>}<sub>b</sub> on local Lorentz space.
