       In eighteen thirty, only a few miles away from what is now the great city of Cincinnan,  Ohio, lay a   36  and almost endless forest.

       The area had a few settlements   37   by people of the frontier. Many of them had already left the area for settlements further   39   the west. But among those   40   was a man who had been one of the first people to arrive there.

       He lived alone in a house of logs surrounded   41  all sides by the great forest. He seemed a part of the darkness and   42   of the forest, for no one had   43   known him to smile or speak an unnecessary word. His simple needs were   44  by selling or trading the skins of wild animals in the town.

       His little log house had a single door. Directly   45   was a window. The window was boarded up(堵住). No one could remember a(n)  46   when it was not. And no one knew why it had been   47  .  I imagine there are few people living today who ever knew the   48   of that window. But I am one, as you shall   49  .

Once upon a time there were two brothers who lived near each other. One day, they had a ___36___ because of some small things. And neither was willing to ___37___ each other.
One morning, there was a knock at door of the elder brother. He  38 _ it and found a man standing beside the door. “I’m a carpenter(木匠). I’m  39__ a few days’ work. Perhaps you would have a few small jobs I could help with.”  
“Yes,” said the elder brother. “I do have a job for you. ___40___ at that farm across the small river. It is my younger brother’s. We had a quarrel, so I won’t like to see his place or his __41___ any more. I want you to build me a 8-foot ___42___.” 
The man said, “I think I understand the situation. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to do a job that makes you __43__.” So the elder brother was very glad and left for the town nearby.
In the evening, the carpenter had just ___44___ his job when the elder brother returned. But he was __45___ to find, instead of a fence, before him, stood a __46____, which went from one side of the river ___47__ the other! On the other __48____ of bridge, was his younger brother.
“Do you know the name of the bridge?” The carpenter asked.
“No,” the elder brother was __49___. 
“OK, I can tell you. Its name is understanding and __50___,” the carpenter smiled.
Suddenly they began to understand ___51___. Surely, between two brothers there should be a bridge rather than a _52____. Standing on the bridge, they _53___ each other’s hands with ____54__ in their eyes. 
“Could you stay another few days? I’ve a lot of other work for you,” said the elder brother. “I’d love to ___55___ on,” the carpenter said. “But I have many more bridges to build.”

“There is an out – of – date idea that children grow up and leave home when they’re 18,and the truth is far from that,” says Mr.Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin.Today unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents.“There is a great change in the middle class,” declares Allan Schnaiberg of Northwestern University, whose son, 19, moved back in after an absence of eight months.

    Scientists show a number of reasons for this return to the nest.The marriage age is rising, a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people.A high divorce (离婚) rate and a low remarriage rate make some differences.For some, the expense of an away - from - home college education has become so great that many students now attend local schools.Even after graduation, young people find their wings tied by terrible housing costs.

    Living at home, says Knighton, a school teacher, continues to give security (安全保卫) and moral(道义的) support.Her mother agreed.“Its strange for the kids to pay all that money for rent.It makes sense for kids to stay at home.” But sharing the family home requires changes for all.There are the hassles over bathrooms, telephones and privacy.Some families, however, manage the careful balancing act.But for others, it proves too difficult.Michelle Del Turco, 24, has been home three times and left three times.“What I considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol (酒精) problem,” she explains.“He never liked anyone I dated, so I either had to hide away or meet them at friends' houses.”

    Just how long should adult children live with their parents before moving on? Most scientists feel lengthy homecomings are a mistake.Children, can end up with a sense of defeat and failure.And aging parents, who should be enjoying some freedom, find themselves stuck with too many things.Many agree that brief visits, however, can work well.

1.According to the author, there was once a trend in the U.S.________.

    A.for young adults to leave their parents and live separately

    B.for middle class young adults to stay with their parents

    C.for married young adults to move back home after a lengthy absence

    D.for young adults to get jobs nearby in order to live with their parents

2.Which of the following does not lead to young adults returning to the nest?

    A.Young adults find housing costs too high.

    B.Young adults are not old enough.

    C.Young adults look for parental comfort and support.

    D.Quite a number of young adults attend local schools.

3.The underlined word “hassles” in the passage probably means _________.

    A.agreements                           B.worries

    C.disadvantages                        D.quarrels

4.According to the passage what is the best for both parents and children?

    A.They should share the family expenses.

    B.Children should leave their parents when they are grown up.

    C.Adult children should live away from their parents and visit their parents from time to time.

    D.Parents should support their adult children when they are in trouble.

5..One of the disadvantages of young adults returning to slay with their parents is that ______.

    A.there will certainly be inconveniences in even-day life

    B.most parents find it difficult to keep a bigger family going

    C.the young adults try to be overprotected by their parents

    D.public opinion is against young adults staying with their parents
