Parents have to do much less for their children than they used to do, and home has become

much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can be done at the laundry; food can be bought cooked, canned; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meal can be had at the restaurant, the work's canteen, and the school dining room.

It's unusual now for father to pursue(追求)his trade of other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father's business, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon gains a feeling Of economic independence (经济上的独立). In textile areas it has been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now not an unusual factor in a child's home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty- five years. With mother earning and older children drawing wages, father is seldom the most important figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother's employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.

The words "work's canteen" is______.

A.a food shop

B.a cafe

C.a restaurant

D.a cafeteria(自助餐厅)

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them
for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modem ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems; and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.

I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.

Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainments and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainments or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style. and taste.

Sometimes you are resistant and proud, because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can't win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.

If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the ways you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

The author is primarily addressing ______.

A.parents of teenagers

B.newspapers readers

C.those who give advice to teenagers

D.teenagers

A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and thei
r elders.Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said 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 it is built into every part of our society.

One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life.In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs.In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.

In our 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, that is another cause of the gap 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 the third cause of the gap between the generations.In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date.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 in American life for some time to come.

1.The first paragraph tells us that ______.

A、the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from people

B、it is out of date to talk about the generation gap

C、children and parents are trying to understand each other

D、it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other

D、do not live together with their children

3.In American society young people________.

A、do not need to find jobs

B、leave home at an early age

C、have better education than their parents

D、marry people younger than them

4.Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap______.

A、Young people like to depend more on themselves.

B、Parents do not love their children dearly.

C、American society changes rapidly.

D、Parents expect too much of their children.

I do not believe in encouraging war toys, but I don't see any【67】in forbidding them when I think of the【68】of my friend Henry.

Henry is the【69】of strict parents who were totally opposed to war. He was never allowed toy soldiers【70】a boy, never allowed guns.

Henry grew up and went into the army, becoming a first-class soldier and【71】all sorts of military honors in a rather fierce unit.

Parents in all conscience have to【77】their children what they believe to be right. Perhaps the【78】way to teach one's child gentleness is【79】forbid toy guns, but to be gentle in one's【80】everyday life.

A person's home is as much a reflection of his personality as the clothes he wears, the fo
od he eats and the friends with whom he spends his time. Depending on personality, most have in mind a(n) "【B1】 home". But in general, and especially for the student or new wage earners, there are practical 【B2】 of cash and location on achieving that idea.

Cash 【B3】 , in fact, often means that the only way of 【B4】 when you leave school is to stay at home for a while until things 【B5】 financially. There are obvious 【B6】 of living at home -- personal laundry is usually 【B7】 done along with the family wash; meals are provided and there will be a well-established circle of friends to 【B8】 .And there is 【B9】 the responsibility for paying bills, rates, etc.

On the other hand, 【B10】 depends on how a family gets on. Do your parents like your friends? You may love your family - 【B11】 do you like them? Are you prepared to be 【B12】 when your parents ask where you are going in the evening and what time you expect to be back? If you find that you cannot manage a(n) 【B13】 , and that you finally have the money to leave, how do you 【B14】 finding somewhere else to live?

If you plan to stay in your home area, the possibilities are 【B15】 well-known to you already. Friends and the local paper are always 【B16】 .If you are going to work in a 【B17】 area, again there are the papers - and the accommodation agencies, 【B18】 these should be approached with 【B19】 .Agencies are allowed to charge a fee, usually the 【B20】 of the first week's rent, if you take accommodation they have found for you.

根据以下内容回答题:Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of m

根据以下内容回答题:

Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy.Psychologists have been study-ing the factors that contribute to happiness.It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy.The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feel-ings. A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness.Though both may contribute,they are only chief factors if the person is seriously under-educated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs. The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes.People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not gra-duate from high school,and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportuni-ty to control their lives.Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education. Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely debilitated or those in pain.Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness.Those with a good sex lifeare happier in general,but those who have a loving affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone.Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factor. It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have,and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time. Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods but are not nece—ssarily happier adults. The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration,to have a personal involvement and commitment,and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.

According to the article,happiness is greatly dependent upon() .

A.happy childhood

B.great wealth

C.a feeling that conditions are improving over what they were

D.a college degree
