5．A few years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap，a disagreement between young people and their elders．Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience （服从），while children complained （抱怨） that their parents did not understand them at all．What had gone wrong？Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared？Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time．Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric （结构） of our society．
One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life．In more traditional societies，when children grow up，they are expected to live in the same area as their parents，to marry people that their parents know and agree to，and to continue the family occupation （职业）．In our society，young people often travel great distances for their education，move out of the family home at an early age，marry or live with people whom their parents have never met，and choose occupations different from those of their parents．
In our easily changing society，parents often expect their children to do better than they did：to find better jobs，to make more money，and to do all the things that they were unable to do．Often，however，the strong desire that parents have for their children are another cause of the disagreement between them．Often，they discover that they have very little in common with each other．
Finally，the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations．In a traditional culture，elderly people are valued for their wisdom，but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight．The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds，separated by different skills and abilities．
No doubt，the generation gap will continue to be a feature （特点） of American life for some time to come．Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society，and in the rapid speed at which society changes．

5．The main idea of the first paragraph is thatB．
A．the generation gap suddenly appeared
B．the generation gap is a feature of modern social life
C．people can reduce the generation gap
D．many critics argue over the nature of the generation gap
6．The word"around"in Paragraph 1meansB．
A．on all sides B．in existence C．in every direction D．near
7．In American society，young people oftenD．
A．depend on their parents to make a life
B．stay with their parents in order to get a chance for higher education
C．seek the best advice from their parents
D．have very little in common with their parents
8．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？C
A．Parents should be strict with their children．
B．The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom．
C．The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation．
D．The generation gap does not exist in American society．

2．My daughter Kelly is a cautious person．She needs to warm up to situations，and is hesitant to try new things．When with close friends，she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants，"Girls rule，boys drool．"But when that comfort zone is not around her，she is shy and nervous．
This has been challenging for me at times．"Shy"is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me．But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence．This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team．This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels．And this year she completed her first kids'triathlon （三项全能）．
On Saturday，with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son's birthday party later in the day，we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon．We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her，we got all the equipment she′d need，and we kept talking about the race．But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn，she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times．She was nervous but trying to keep it together．
And then it was her turn．From the second she jumped into the water，my heart soared．My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen．She dominated that swim，crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face．
I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life．It wasn′t because she did a sport or anything like that．It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn′t seen before．
All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling．She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day．I won the chance to see my girl shine．
Shine on，sweet baby．

7．Child raising is probably one of the most difficult jobs for people to do all over the world．Since babies do not come with child raising manuals（指南），couples，especially future mothers，have to learn from their mothers，aunts，mothers-in-law，or any other relative who is close to them．
As children grow up，parents have to find reasonable ways in order to help their children，advise them，punish them，lead them to achievements，and teach them．Sometimes children under ten may behave inappropriately．For example，they learn to say offensive words and they show no respect to their relatives．I think parents in these cases should punish their children in a reasonable way．Children must know those kinds of attitudes are not good at all．
There are many aspects which influence parents in this hard job，for example，the culture in which they live，the economic situation in their society，and the religious environment．
One group consists of people who don't have economical resources or education．In this group，people get married when they are teenagers．Their Children are taken to their grandparents'homes，so the job of child raising is done by grandparents instead of the real parents．If the grandparents are on the sidewalks selling newspapers，cigarettes，or magazines，the children will be like them，too．Some of them even end u being wallet thieves，gang members and drug users．
Other groups of people are hard workers or well-educated．The children grow up in their parents'homes and are disciplined and punished differently．They learn to respect other people，and they are led to achieve in school，sports and communityservice．When they grow up，they often become political leaders，community leaders，and professionals in their fields．

17．One morning，I was waiting at the bus stop，worried about （78）being （be） late for school．There were many people waiting at the bus stop，（79）and some of them looked very anxious and （80）disappointed （disappoint）．When the bus finally came，we all hurried on board．I got a place next（81）to the window，so I had a good view of the sidewalk．A boy on a bike （82）caught （catch） my attention．He was riding beside the bus and waving his arms．I heard a passenger behind me shouting to the driver，but he refused （83）to stop （stop） until we reached the next stop．Still，the boy kept （84）riding （ride）．He was carrying something over his shoulder and shouting．Finally，when we came to the next stop，the boy ran up to the door of the bus．I heard an excited conversation．Then the driver stood up and asked，"（85）Did anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop？"A woman on the bus shouted，"Oh dear!It's （86）me/mine （I）．"She pushed her way to the driver and took the suitcase thankfully．Everyone on the bus began talking about what the boy had done，and the crowd of strangers （87）suddenly （sudden） became friendly to one another．

1．Scientists in Colombia have trained a team of rats to help remove land mines from the countryside．Land mines are small bombs （炸弹） hidden in the ground and designed to explode when someone steps on them．
When trained，the rats can smell special metals in the mines and then signal to their human team．Then why use rats for such an important job？
In the past，dogs have been used to find bombs．Rats have a good sense of smell and can respond to orders，just like dogs do．But rats are much lighter than dogs．They stand less of a chance of setting off the mines，which explode under a certain amount of weight．What's more，the best rats are cheaper to keep than dogs．It costs about the same amount of money to take care of one dog as it does 70rats．
The rats have already been used in Tanzania，an African country with many land mines．Luisa Fernanda Méndez and her team in Colombia are training the even lighter Wistar rats．These are the white rats with red eyes that scientists often use in laboratory experiments．"They even train their babies to perform their jobs，which saves us a lot of time，"Méndez said．
Colombia has the second-highest rate （比率） of deaths from land mine accidents in the world．Last year，land mines killed 695people-56of whom were children．A criminal （犯罪的） group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia，or FARC，as well as other organizations，have placed the mines．FARC are strongly against Colombia's government．The group has placed mines all around its own bases and in many places in the countryside．
In the past，the Colombian government hired peasants and poor farmers to find mines．Many of them died trying to find the well-hidden bombs．
Colombian police official Erick Guzmán hopes the team of rats can come to the rescue．"These rats will be a great help，"he said．

A．People in Tanzania are suffering from land mines．
B．Specially-trained rats help clear land mines．
C．Dogs are no longer used to find land mines．
D．Land mines have become a great danger to Colombians．

2．When most people talk of a classroom，they think of older people teaching younger ones．But when it comes to learning about high-technology devices，the opposite can often be true．That is what is happening through a program in the eastern American city of Columbia，Maryland．The 50Plus Center provides free technology classes for adults aged 50ad older．The teachers are often teenagers and even younger children．
Myra Stafford is 73years old．She signed up for the workshop to learn how to use her iPad．Ms．Staffor says she is learning quickly about the device and that she enjoys learning from younger people．
Eleven-year-old Zhion Perkins teaches Ms．Stafford．He says，"You have to be really，really patient because some of them might not accept the knowledge as smoothly as others．"Meridy McCague，director of the 50Plus Center，says，"As people are aging，their worlds get a little smaller．Some of them can no longer drive； some of them don't get out to mak long trips to visit thei relatives．The program brings them back into Facebook and Skype．Now，they can do everything from ordering things from Amazon to ordering groceries or meals．Teaching senior citizens about technology can prove helpful for the economy．As seniors get more excited about using the technology，they're going into the market place and buying some products．So that's a boom in economy right there．"
Madison Lam is a 17-year-old teacher of the technology workshop．She says she also learns a lot from helping seniors．
Safire Windley is head of the Youth and Teen Center that operates the program．She says young people gain social skill from teaching older residents．This is something they need．
