I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too. I wasn’t   36  watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went   37  our way after saying goodbye.
But at     38   , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I    39   the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I    40   knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart    41  . I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.
That night, when I lay    42   in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While    43   with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are quick to excite. Go to look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the    44   . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She    45    them herself — pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the    46    in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her    47   . “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I    48      them in a napkin（纸巾）, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the     49   .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today. And I    50   have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way. ”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you     51   .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I love the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the    52   you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave    53  will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our    54   than into our families--- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.
Remember that   55 =" (F)ATHER" + (A)ND + (M)OTHER + (I ) + (L)OVE + (Y)OU.

I ran into a stranger as he passed by, and I at once apologized to him. We were both very 71       , the stranger and I. Then we went       72 our way after saying good-bye.
But at home a 73 story is told. Later that day, when I 74 supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very       75    . When I turned back, I 76 knocked her down. “Don’t be in my   37    !” I shouted angrily. She walked away with her little heart       78 . On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.
That night, while I lay 79 in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While 80 with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily 81 . Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you. She       82 them herself, pink, yellow and your favorite blue. She stood quietly in order to give you a 83 , and you never saw the       84   in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt very 85 and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪下) by her   86 , “Wake up, little girl, wake up,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “Yes, because I knew you’d like them, especially the 87 .” I said, “Daughter, I’m sorry for the way I acted today; I 88 have shouted at you that way.”
She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you 89 .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”
Through this   90 , I realize what FAMILY means:

A few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.

It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.

So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.

My friends and I – “Generation Y” – still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.

This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cellphones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.

Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.

Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.

1.When the author walked through her parents’ house, she _______.

A．was frightened that she had no idea what she wanted from life

B．started to think about her own life

B．Their ways of making their way to the top.

C．Their attitude towards responsibility.

D．Their ways of gaining experience.

3.Which of the following might the author agree with?

A．It’s all right to try more before settling down.

B．It’s better to take adult responsibility earlier.

C．It involves too much effort to rise vertically.

D．It’s ridiculous to call her generation “arrogant”.

4.What can we conclude from the article?

A．The author is envious of her parents enjoying a big house at her age.

B．Growing up in a hi-tech world makes “Generation Y” feel insecure about relationships.

C．“Generation Y” people don’t want to grow up and love to be taken care of by their parents.

D．The author wrote this article so that others would be able to understand her generation better.

5.What is the main theme of the article?

A．The sudden realization of growing up.

B．A comparison between lifestyles of generations.

C．Criticisms of the young generation.

D．The factors that have changed the young generation.

Generation next is usually a powerful unknown. Sometimes called Generation Y, sometimes called the Millennials (千禧代), this group of 16-to-25-year-olds live in a world of high-tech advances, increasing racial diversity and economic growth. And it is a generation expected to affect major social change.

"This is us," said Katie Stroud,16 from South Carolina, US. "This is how we are. Take it or leave it."

The problem is, they're proving hard to define.

"This group is unique," said Ken Shin, a sociology professor at the University of South Carolina. "They have different values. They're more informed. They're more tolerant."

Generation Y is expected to do great things -- to move beyond thought to action.

"As a generation, they are the strongest and most intelligent," said Joyce Fields, a professor at Columbia College in South Carolina.

Generation Y has grown up in a digital, instant-messaging age. DVDs, iPods and cell phones are just part of everyday life for this Interact-surfing generation.

"I feel that we're very smart," said Shawn Rumph,18, of Columbia, S.C. "Look at all the technology we have to help us learn."

Since they have grown up in good times, for Generation Y, success and wealth are almost certain. Their attitude, therefore, shows that they're optimistic and materialistic, Fields said.

Richard Perry, an 18-year-old University of South Carolina student, agrees that Generation Y is materialistic. "Everybody is into new stuff," he said.

To marketers selling soda, music, clothes and computers, members of Generation Y look like human dollar signs.

With a "buy now, pay later" mentality, this group is assaulted with Web ads and TV commercials aimed at getting them to part with their and their parents' money.

Despite the insistence on having modem-day conveniences, in many ways Generation Y is traditional, experts say. Getting an education and having a family are important.

Besides, some Generation Y members say they are comfortable with racial diversity and expect discrimination to disappear.

Elizabeth Pope,16, of South Carolina, said Generation Y probably will elect the first female or minority-race president.

In any ease, Fields is confident in Generation Y. "I think we're in good hands."

1. In this passage, how many such optimistic young people are mentioned?

A. Four B. Five C. Six D. Two

2. Which of the following characteristics of Generation Y is NOT mentioned by Joyce Fields?

A. the strongest B. more tolerant

C. the most intelligent D. optimistic and materialistic

3. What does it mean by "Everybody is into new stuff."?

A. Generation Y is in the direction of wealth.

B. Generation Y has different social values.

C. Generation Y is during a period of being lost.

D. Generation Y is interested in new things.

4. According to the passage, what's the attitude of the experts towards Generation Y?

A. suspicious B. sympathetic C. optimistic D. pessimistic

5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. People of Generation Y are more informed and more tolerant.

B. DVDs, iPods and cell phones are all of everyday life for Generation Y.

C. Success and wealth are almost certain for Generation Y.

D. In many ways people of Generation Y are traditional, though.

In later years, people reported ____ a monster swimming across the lake.
