19．About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table．I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation．At one point the woman asked："So，how have you been？"And the boy，who could not have been more than seven or eight years old，replied，"To tell the truth，I've been feeling a little depressed （压抑） lately．"
His words stuck in my mind because it confirmed （证实） my growing belief that children are changing．As far as I can remember，my friends and I didn't find out we were"depressed"until we were in high school．
Children don't seem childlike anymore．Children speak more like adults，dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to．Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say，but it certainly is different．Childhood as it once was no longer exists．Why？
Human development is based not only on natural biological states，but also on ways of getting social knowledge．Movement from one social role to another usually needs to learn the secrets of the new social role．Children have always been taught adult secrets，but slowly and in stages：traditionally，we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders．
In the last 30years，however，television has passed information to all viewers．Unable to resist （抵制） the temptation （诱惑），many children turn their attention from printed texts to more interesting moving pictures．
Communication through print，in fact，allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children can get．Reading and writing need symbols that must be memorized and practiced．Children must read simple books before they can read difficult materials．

62．According to the author，feeling depressed isC．
A．a sign of a psychology （心理） problem in a child
B．an important period of children's development
C．something hardly to be expected in a young child
D．a state present in all humans，including children
63．According to the writer，the children seem adultlike because ofC．A．the rising of living standards
B．the simple books
C．influence of television
D．the fast development of humans'intelligence
64．Why does the author like communication through print for children？A
A．It can contraol what children are to learn at a proper age．
B．It develops children's interest in reading and writing．
C．It helps children to remember and practice more knowledge．
D．It helps childern to gain more social information．
65．What does the author think of the change in today's children？A
A．He thinks this phenomenon is worth noticing．
B．He feels funny by their behaviors and thoughts
C．He considers it a positive and good development
D．He seems to be angry about these strange behaviors．

16．In the animal kingdom，weakness can bring about aggression in other animal．This sometimes happens with humans also．But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people．I see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour cream into my coffee，or help me to put on my coat．And I have discovered that it makes them happy．
From my wheelchair experience，I see the best in people，but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily．They don't get to see this soft side of others often； we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretending．But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them．
Last month，when I was driving home on a busy highway，I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual．People behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me，horning （按喇叭） or even shouting at me．At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving．I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．
No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights，I was saying to other drivers，"I have a problem here．I am weak and doing the best I can．"And everyone understood．Several times，I saw drivers who wanted to pass．They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic．But instead of getting impatient and angry，they waited，knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way．But those are few and far between．More often，it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared．

He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat．Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas．
As we came back to the convenience store，she said，"This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive．I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn't know I could do this．"I told her about some of the other things I do （ski，travel the world by myself，etc．）．As her father was taking her off my bike，she turned to him and said，"Oh Daddy，I'm going to be OK．Mr．Bryant does all kinds of things，and I will too．"Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek．He hugged me and said，"I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her．She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children．God answered my prayer just now．Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today．"I believed what he said．Being kind and thoughtful to others，we can be an answer to prayer．

18．Nick Hancock hopes to set a new record by living alone for 60days on a small island in the Atlantic．
Tom McClean，an SAS soldier who holds the solo record for occupying（占领） Rockall for 40days in 1985，told Hancock that being alone for two months was the greatest challenge Hancock would have to face．
"I'm fully expecting it to be tough，"Nick Hancock said．"I'm hoping that by doing my daily tasks fairly slowly，I'm going to be able to keep most of my time busy．I think the worst times will come if I'm boxed up for several days by bad weather．"
Hancock hopes to land on Rockall in early June and will carry out the last tests of his boat next week．He has a small wind turbine（风电机） and a solar panel for power，more than two months'food，a satellite phone and a laptop loaded with e-books to keep him going．Hancock will update an adventure blog，texting messages out on Twitter and emailing his wife Pam and friends every day．
Rockall has been occupied before，most famously by McClean but also by three Greenpeace campaigners，who set the long-stay record of 42days in 1997by occupying the rock in protest at oil and gas exploration in the area．
The last human inhabitants Hancock knows of are a small group of Belgian amateur radio enthusiasts，who are interested in broadcasting from distant islands； they were on Rockall overnight in late 2010．
Hancock has no large support team behind him．Except for the coastguard（海岸警卫队），his only lifeline will be the Orca III，the passenger boat which will take him to Rockall．
