11．The pace of today's working life blurs （使模糊） the line between personal time and work time，and it increasingly mixes one's personal lifestyle and work style．And as companies are trying hard to attract and keep young people for their technical skills and enthusiasm for change，office culture is becoming an extension of youth culture．This may be no bad thing．For most of human history the middle-aged have ruled，but in the future，they will have to share power with fresh-faced youths．
There have been a number of reasons for this change and the most dramatic of these is technology．Children have always been more expert than their parents at something，but usually a game or a fashion，not the century's most important business tool．The Internet has started the first industrial revolution in history to be led by the young．Though there have been youth revolutions before，none of them made a big change the way the Internet has．Throughout the 20th century，if a young person wanted to enter an American company，they needed to leave their youth behind．They got a haircut，and probably a suit or at least a tie．Now the same hair，same clothes，even nearly the same hours apply to office and home．
Had it not been for the Internet，this change could not have happened．However，it did not happen because of the Internet only； the corporate restructurings （公司重组） of the 1980s and 1990s broke down traditional hierarchies （等级制度）．In many companies，seniority-based （基于资历的） hierarchies have been replaced by hierarchies based on performance．The abilities to please your superiors are no longer the most valued skills．Today's employees stay with companies only as long as they feel challenged and rewarded； moving from job to job is now a sign of ambition．
The rise of the young is a good thing，because it gives them more opportunity to put their ideas and energy into practice at their most creative stage in life．Nowadays youth and youth qualities seem to dominate，but the experience and maturity of older employees should be put to good use，too．

My granddad was a fairly well-known musician．For most of my childhood，he tried to teach me play the guitar．But I resisted，prefer to read books and play the basketball．Guitar was hard and bored．I'd learn late．I told myself．When I was ten，my granddad passes away suddenly．I missed my chance．In high school，my friends who played the guitar were fascinating by my granddad's career．They couldn't believe I'd turned down lessons from so a famous musician．I regret my lost opportunity．I can still learn to play，and the chance to sit close to my granddad，learning from him，singing and accepting the gift that he offered，are long gone．

8．Thousands of years ago，people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food．Over time，people began to catch the animals and raise them．（36）B
（37）A For example，people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily．People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep stronger animals．Characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals'genes．（38）D Each new generation of horses would show more of these chosen characteristics．
Modern day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes．This variety didn't exist in the horse population before domestication（驯养）．The Shetland horse is one of the smallest breeds-typically reaching only one meter tall．（39）F Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 300hundred years ago．People bred these heavy，tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads．
（40）C For example，horses were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture．Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently．Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time．

A．As people began to tame and ride horses，they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable
characteristics．
B．This was the first step in domestication．
C．The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies．
D．So as the domesticated horses reproduced，they passed the characteristics on to their young．
E．We know that all over the world there are so many horses．
F．With short，strong legs，the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts（矿井）with low ceilings．
G．What do you order your horse to do？

7．The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city，where most of the houses were wooden and close together．One hundred thousand people became homeless，but only a few lost their lives．
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker in Pudding Lane．The baker，with his wife and family，was able to get out through a window in the roof．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door．Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning．
By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames．Tuesday was the worst day．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings，old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them．
Samuel Pepys，the famous writer，wrote about the fire．People threw their things into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．Birds fell out of the air because of the heat．
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn，the fire became weak and finally died out．
After the fire，Christopher Wren，the architect，wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone．In fact，the streets are still narrow，but he did build more than fifty churches，among them new St Paul's．
The fire caused great pain and loss，but after it London was a better place：a city for the future and not just of the past．

6．"We are good mothers，"I said to my friend，as we sat on our comfortable beach chairs under our beach umbrella and watched our children playing in the waves．
Out of nowhere，the children took off running．About fifty yards from us，a man-maybe in his fifties-was fishing．The children stood next to him and watched with their little mouths hanging open as he cast the fishing lines．He smiled at them．They ran back to us-all except my three-year-old daughter，Drew．
My heart beat fast with horror．"Drew!Come here!Play with your friends!"I shouted，very aware that my speeches about not talking to strangers weren't working．It seemed that many parents heard of horrible stories about children being taken away by strangers．Responsible mothers should teach their children that the world is a dangerous place．So I felt relieved when Drew ran towards me and took hold of a shovel（铲子）．Then she looked me in the eye："I want to be with the person．"
Again，she approached the middle-aged man，and started digging next to him．
Several seconds later，she returned，waving something shiny．
"Look，Mommy!A toy fish!"
It was，indeed，a toy fish-yellow and rubber．This must have been what he was using to attract the fish．And he'd given it to Drew．The three other children were deeply impressed，and they didn't try to hide how jealous（妒忌的）they were-clearly，they all wanted the fish．
"My friend gave me that fish!"Drew shouted loudly．The sand in front of the umbrella turned into a preschool cage match with a yellow rubber fish flying through the air．I felt like I might cry myself．
Unexpectedly，there he was：the man，standing right next to us with three more rubber fish in hand．He handed them to each of the children．By their faces，you would have thought he was actually the really kind big brother．
"Thank you，"I said，realizing that there is good and kindness in strangers．

4．People do have different ideas about what （61）to wear（wear）．While young people tend to consider more about fashion，personality and how they look when （62）choosing（choose） clothes，elderly people pay（63）greater（great） attention to whether they appear right，they feel comfortable as well as whether the material is worth （64）the price．
How people get dressed also changes over time．Take China （65）asan example．In the 1960's and 1970's，there were practically only two or three colors people wore-blue，green and gray．The styles of the clothes （66）were（be） also very dull．In the 1980's young people would only wear （67）what was in fashion．（68）Recently（recent），we have come to understand that the way you dress（69）yourself（you） is a reflection of your occupation，your background and your personality，（70）sowe see different people wear different clothes according to occasions，their likes and feelings．

2．Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world，but there have only been few players who were truly great．How did these players get that way-was it through training and practice，or are great players"born，not made"？First，these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate．In the history of soccer，only six countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from western Europe．There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia．Second，these players have all had years of practice in the game．Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player，as was Pele．Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four．
Finally，many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood-a poor，crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor，lawyer，or businessman，but to become a rich，famous athlete or entertainer．For example，Liverpool，which produced the Beetles，had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years．Pele practiced in street with a"ball"made of rags．And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast．
All great players have a lot in common，but that doesn't explain why they are great．Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets，but only one became Pele．The greatest players are born with some unique that sets them apart from all the others．

25．According to the author，which of the following statements is true？B
A．Great soccer players are born，not made．
