Childhood curiosity can last a lifetime and I learned this from my son, Bill. When he was very young, I often took him to the . He loved to read and often needed to the books he’d read in order to borrow more books. One unintended of his nonstop reading habits was that he even at the dinner table. His mother, Mary, and I did our best to him that, on certain social , reading while dining with others was not a good thing.

Every summer the teachers at his school give the students a reading list, and there was a contest to see who could read the most books. He was so , and he always wanted to win. And he often . But the main reason why he read so obsessively (着迷地) was that he was so . He didn’t just want to learn about things. He wanted to learn about everything.

We helped his curiosity in every way. an unfamiliar word came up in conversation, we’d turn to the , looking up the word, and reading the definition aloud. Thus my son came to realize that if you have a question, the exists somewhere. All you have to do is it.

Bill remains as much of a today as when he was a child, and he seems to everything he reads. He’s often to share what he’s learned with the next person he meets. He reads at the dinner table, though — which is a good thing because the books he’s attracted to now are increasingly unappetizing (引不起食欲的): The Eradication of Infectious Diseases, Mosquitoes, Malaria & Man, and Rats, Lice, and History.

“If you have not played video games, your childhood should be called 'incomplete'.” That's from Zhan Zaozao, 29, the screenwriter(编剧)of Play to Grow Up, a 40-minute short movie.

It tells the story of two men growing up fans of video games and how they find happiness in games. While people think playing games makes one lazy and is a waste of time, Zhan tries to prove that one can make a living out of it. In the movie, the two heroes, Dunzi and Yanjing, who are in middle school, visit a video games room on the street each day after school.

But why make a short movie about video games, since there are lots to write about childhood, such as puppy love, sports and study? “Playing games is so important to everyone's childhood from little kids to teenagers, though it's a bittersweet experience,” said Zhan. According to him, his teachers and parents didn't allow video games, but they played games “under their noses ” anyway.

In the movie, the two playmates follow different paths after school. Dunzi opens a small store selling gaming products. Yanjing works as a manager in his father's company, After years of working and facing various problems in life, they get together again, build a video game machine and play on the street. Free, simple and happy. They rediscover the carefree childhood, which they have lost in the adult world.

Many consider playing games as a bad influence, but it isn't all true, according to Zhan. “It can change your attitude toward life,” said Zhan. “On the other hand, the movie also tells you that, although the world of video games is fun, you must face real life at the end of the day. ”

1. What is the purpose of Zhan writing the short movie?

A. To memorize his past.

B. To offer an exciting movie.

C. To prove that people can make life better with playing video games.

2. What's the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A. The plot((情节)of the movie.

B. The end of playing video games.

D. The gathering of the two men.

3. What can we infer from the text?

B. People can learn something from the movie.

C. Playing games is longed by the two heroes.

D. People in their childhood couldn't afford the games.

The host poured the tea into the cup and placed it on the small table in front of his guests, who were a father and daughter, and the cover on the cup. Apparently thinking of something, he hurried into the inner room, leaving the thermos(热水瓶) on the table. His two guests heard a cupboard opening.

They remained sitting in the sitting room, the ten-year-old daughter looking at the flowers outside the window, the father just about to take his cup, when the crash came, right there in the sitting room. Something was hopelessly broken.

It was the thermos, which had fallen to the floor. The girl looked over her shoulder, shocked, staring. It was mysterious. Neither of them touched it, not even a bit. True, it hadn’t stood steadily when their host placed in on the table, but it hadn’t fallen then.

The explosion caused the host to rush back. Gawking at the steaming floor, the host said, “It doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter!”

The father started to say something. Then he said softly, “Sorry, I touched it and it fell.”

“It doesn’t matter,” said the host.

When they left the house, the daughter said, “Daddy, did you touch it?”

“No, but it stood so close to me.”

“But you did not touch it. I saw your reflection in the window glass.”

The father laughed. “What would you give as the cause of its fall?”

“The thermos fell by itself. The floor is not smooth. Daddy, why did you say that you…”

“That won’t do, girl. It sounds more acceptable when I say I knocked it down. There are things which people accept less the more you defend. The truer the story you tell, the less true it sounds.”

The daughter was lost in silence for a while. Then she said, “Can you explain it only in this way?”

“Only in this way,” her father said.

A. People should take the blame for what they didn’t do.

Until late in the 20th century most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now middle-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.
That's because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13-year-olds in schools and sport activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why?
We live far away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it`s got hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.
Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young.
A reporter moved her family into a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have never been lonely, "the reporter said.
The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home (养老院)when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was immediately surrounded. People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end." Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.

  1. 1.

    Now in an American family, people can find that___________.

    1. A.
      children never live with their parents                            
    2. B.
      not all working people live with their parents
    3. C.
      aged people are supported by their grandchildren    
    4. D.
      grandchildren are supported by their grandparents
  2. 2.

    1. A.
      they had never seen a baby before                       
    2. B.
      the baby was clever and beautiful                   
    3. C.
      the baby brought them the image of life             
    4. D.
      the baby's mother would take care of them           
  3. 3.

    Why are some children quieter, calmer and more trusting ?

    1. A.
      Because they have relationships with their grandparents.                 
    2. B.
      Because their worried parents ask them to act like that.
      C . Because they have nothing to worry about.                                 
      D. Because their teachers ask them to act like that.
  4. 4.

    Which of the following can show the fact that the old often save the young?

    1. A.
      The old can become friends of the children and the children may not feel lonely.
    2. B.
      The old get excited when they see a baby.
    3. C.
      The old can cure the young when they are sick.
    4. D.
      Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
