A few years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders．Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience(服從), while children complained(抱怨)that their parents did not understand them at all．What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time．Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric(結(jié)構(gòu))of our society．

One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life．In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation(職業(yè))．In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents．

In our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do．Often, however, the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them．Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other．

Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations．In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight．The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities．

No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature(特點(diǎn))of American life for some time to come．Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes．

1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that _______．

A．the generation gap suddenly appeared

B．the generation gap is a feature of modern social life

C．people can reduce the generation gap

D．many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap

2.The word “around” in Paragraph 1 means _______．

A．on all sides

B．near

C．in every direction

D．in existence（存在）

3.Which cause of the generation gap is not mentioned in the passage?

A．Young people like to choose their own life styles．

B．American society is changing very fast．

C．Parents place high hopes on their children．

D．Modern education makes them think differently．

4.In American society, young people often _______．

A．depend on their parents to make a life

B．stay with their parents in order to get a chance for higher education

C．seek the best advice from their parents

D．have very little in common with their parents

5.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A．Parents should be strict with their children．

B．The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom．

C．The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation．

D．The generation gap does not exist in American society．

[1]All people have dreams and they obey the rule that if you can dream it, you can achieve it! Here are four goals for people to reach a perfect life in their future.

[2]The first goal common to all of us in health and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the incredible advances in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan, is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits. Remember that health is not everything, but without health everything is nothing!

[3]The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships – intimate, personal or social – with the people we like and respect, and who                         is turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they     , have more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor.

The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted (晉升) faster. You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do.

The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have any financial worries. You want to be completely free of them. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without referring to the price listing to determine what you want to eat.

1.What does this passage chiefly talk about? (no more than 12 words)

2.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 6 words)

3.Complete the following sentence with proper words according to the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4? (no more than 6 words)

Everybody wants to make                         no matter what job he is engaged in.

4.Why does the author put health ahead of other goals? (no more than 20 words)

5.What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)

For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They’re children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.

Lynette Long was once the headmaster of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts. There were so many keys, it never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned they were house keys.

She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the impact(影響) working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in each three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scared. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.

The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed in a closet. The second is TV. They’ll often play it at high volume. It’s hard to get statistics on latchkey children, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

1.The main idea about “l(fā)atchkey children” is that they _______.

A．a(chǎn)re growing in numbers

B．a(chǎn)re also found in middle-class neighborhoods

C．watch too much television during the day

D．suffer problems from being left alone

2.Which sentence in the second paragraph is the topic sentence?

A．We had a school rule against wearing jewelry.

B．A lot of kids had chains around their necks.

C．I was constantly telling them to put inside their shirts.

D．They were house keys.

3.The main feeling these children have when they are at home by themselves is _______.

A．tiredness

B．freedom

C．loneliness

D．fear

4.We may draw a conclusion that _______.

A．latchkey children enjoy having such a large amount of time alone

B．latchkey children try to hide their feeling

C．latchkey children often watch TV with their parents

D．it’s difficult to find out how many latchkey children there are
