Children today would rather toy with new technologies. The role of children has changed as well as that of teens. The world has truly evolved (進化）throughout the years.
Today，a typical day in the life of a five year old is entirely different from what it once was. A few decades ago children used to work. They did the kind of work parents do today. Today there are shows on which children are putting pounds of makeup on and have flashing things all over their bodies. This makes a child want to paper over all of their imperfections. They think they have to look perfect all the time.
Teens have changed as well. My grandma got married when she was thirteen. Girls who had an arranged marriage had no time to play because they were expected to cook, clean，take care of the kids, and do housework every single day. Today，we go to school every morning, maybe participate in some after-school activities, and possibly go to work for extra cash. Then we go home and do homework, and eat. After all of this we have to find the time to socialize by texting, talking on the phone, or logging on to social networking sites. We enjoy ourselves a lot.
The generation before us complains about how they did not have the things we have now. They say we are not appreciative and do not value life or just do not care about our futures anymore. Let's make a change! The youth have the power to work on whatever they believe in and make a difference in the world. Take advantage of your resources. It is never too late to make a positive change in our world.
小題1:The role of children and teens has changed mainly because _____.
A．new technologies are developing and widely used
B．they don't have to work hard as their parents did
C．their world has truly evolved
D．they look perfect all the time
小題2:The underlined phrase (in the 2nd Para. ) probably means to _____.
A．put up with B．make up for C．put aside D．cover up
小題3:We can learn from the text that nowadays teenagers _____.
A．do housework as their parents did
B．are having a social life in richer ways
C．are seldom satisfied with what they have
D．don't appreciate and value life
小題4:The author's attitude towards changes of teen’s life is _____.
A．critical B．neutral C．optimistic D．complaining

小題1:A
小題2:D
小題3:B
小題4:C

試題分析：本文講述了現在的孩子們的生活隨著科技的發(fā)展，發(fā)生了很重大的變化。作者對這種變化是抱著樂觀的態(tài)度的，他認為年輕人應該去用自己的方式去改變這個世界，對世界要有積極的態(tài)度。
小題1:推斷題。從第一自然段及第三自然段可知，現在的孩子們和青少年與十年前的不一樣了，科學技術的發(fā)展及其廣泛的運用是主要原因。故選A。
小題2:推斷題。Today there are shows on which children are putting pounds of makeup on and have flashing things all over their bodies. This makes a child want to paper over all of their imperfections.從這兩句可知，現在的孩子們花重金化妝，打扮，是為了掩蓋他們的缺陷。故選D。
小題3:推斷題。從第三自然段After all of this we have to find the time to socialize by texting, talking on the phone, or logging on to social networking sites. We enjoy ourselves a lot.可知，現在的青少年社交的方式更多了，通過短信、電話、網絡等等。故選B。
小題4:推斷題。從最后一段Let's make a change! The youth have the power to work on whatever they believe in and make a difference in the world. Take advantage of your resources. It is never too late to make a positive change in our world.可知作者認為年輕人有權力來做他們想做的事情，來改變這個世界。所以作者對年輕人生活的改變態(tài)度是樂觀積極的。故選C。
點評：文章重在理解作者的感情基調，從全文來看，本文大部分在講現在孩子的生活與以往的不一致，講到了對這種現象人們的一些看法。最后作者話鋒一轉，表達出了自己截然相反的意見，由此可見對于議論文的文章重在把握作者的感情色彩，答題時不斷提醒自己作者在講什么，作者的是在褒義還是在貶斥，這一點非常重要。

As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange   36 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that  37 me so much. There was never total  38 , but a streetlight or passing car lights 39   clothes hung over a chair take on the   40  of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my 41  , I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no  42 . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My   43 would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would   44 very still so that the "enemy" would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, 45  on the way home from school. Every morning I get on the school bus right near my home--that was no  46 . After school,   47  , when all the buses were  48  up along the street, I was afraid that I'd get on the wrong one, and be taken to some  49 neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or museum, I wouldn't  50 the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears  51 all I had as a child was that of not being liked or   52 by others. Being popular was so important to me  53 , and the fear of not being liked was a 54  one.
One of the processes of growing up is being able to  55 and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

Humans aren't the only species on the planet with a penchant for electronic gadgets(小配件）.Zookeepers across the US and Canada are discovering that apes also get excited about Apps.
As part of a program called"Apps for Apes",12 zoos across the two countries have been introducing iPads into the entertainment time for orangutans,the giant furry red primates native to Indonesia and Malaysia.
"We are finding that,similar to people,they like touching the tablet,watching short videos of David Attenborough for instance,and looking at other animals and orangutans," said Richard Zimmerman,founding director of Orangutan Outreach,the non-profit that runs the program.
Twice weekly,orangutans are provided with access to the tablets.The animals spend from 15 minutes to half an hour using different Apps depending on their attention span.Apps designed for children that stimulate activities such as painting,music and memory games are among the most popular Apps with the apes.
"It is a lot like when we're showing children pop-up books,"said Zimmerman,adding that the orangutans are among the most intelligent primates,with the intelligence level of a young child.
The program,which relies on donated iPads, will soon be expanding to zoos across Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Europe.

“The more you learn, the more you earn,” said the pop singer Cyndi Lauper as she accepted her high school diploma(證書) , at the age of 35 ! Although Cyndi made it without a high school degree, most people don't. In the USA today, about 75% of jobs need some education or technical training further than high school. The lowest wage earners in the USA are those without high school degrees; college graduates(畢業(yè)生) outearn those without a college education. People with master's degrees（碩士學位）outearn those with only a bachelor (學士學位); and the highest incomes of all are earned by people with advanced professional or academic degrees. These generalizations explain why most of young Americans go to college. However, despite the averages, more diplomas don't always mean more money. Many skilled blue-collar workers, salespeople, business executives, and entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家)outearn college professors and scientific researchers.

Paula Radcliffe, chasing (角逐) a third London marathon title (馬拉松冠軍), says she has become a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.
Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism.”
“In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”
She didn’t care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.
“Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn’t spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me, I'm sure she would have contacted me.”
Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.
“In New York I wasn’t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.”      Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday’s race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.
However, Radcliffe has not ruled out (排除) in the future chasing her "final" world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.
“I don't think that—although I can't put a number on it,” said Radcliffe. “That changes from person to person.”
Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.
Radcliffe clocked a time of 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometer race three years ago.
Afterwards she set a "mixed course" mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event.
小題1:Radcliffe’s failure in Athens made her       .
A．develop respect for Liz.B．love people around her more.
C．rest for five months.D．face criticism calmly.
小題2:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Radcliffe broke the world record in the New York City marathon.
B．Radcliffe didn't fully recover before the New York City marathon.
C．Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathon.
D．Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon.
小題3:By saying “I can't put a number on it,” Radcliffe means she’s not sure        .
A．if she has the ability to set a new world record.
B．if she can win another race though she has won many times.
C．how many times a marathon runner can set the world record.
D．if she has the ability to produce four or five world-class times.
小題4:What can we learn from Radcliffe's story?
A．Practice makes perfect.B．Well begun is half done.
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.D．Where there is a will there is a way.

Dear Daughter,
As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write to tell you all that is on my mind. First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament (證明) of what a great well-rounded student you are. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.
Your college years will be the most important of your life. It is in college that you will discover what learning is about. This will be the period when you go from teacher taught to master inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn is of no practical use in real life, the learning skills you get will be something you will value forever.
Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy, don't be bothered by what others think or say, but make up your own mind. Most importantly, make true friends and be happy. Don't worry about their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities.
Start planning early what you'd like to do. Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? I think your plan to study fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get onto the right courses. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver's seat-this is your life, and you need to be in control. Being in control feels great. Try it, and you'll love it!
So please treasure your college years - make the best use of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, and learn through your successes and challenges.
May your years at Columbia be the happiest of your life, and may you grow into just what you dream to be.

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a   36 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it  37  from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles,   38 everywhere. I tried to use a broom, 39 with each sweep they just rolled across the kitchen．
For the next week, every time I was in the   40 , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept   41  . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and  42  12 frozen peas hidden underneath．
At the time I found those few remaining  43 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful  44  I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded  45  those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my   46  had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered. My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble   47  his new surroundings and the 48  of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered．
When life gets you   49  , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never  50  , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be  51  , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas   52 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them   53  you’ll start to feel whole again．
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to   54 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,  55  will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?
