| Every culture has a recognized point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed. In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grownup world. "Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school, " said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She brought the pressure back to memory, especially for kids from wealthier families. "It's like you're not cool if you don't have a car, " she said. According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19yearolds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get parttime jobs to help pay. Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers don't want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car. But police say 16yearolds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19yearolds. This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive. Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner's permit. Chad said he has accepted his parents' decision, although it has caused some teasing from his friends. "They say that I am unlucky, " he said, "But I'd rather be alive than driving, and I_don't_really_trust_my _friends_on_the_road,_either." In China as more families get cars, more 18yearolds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult? 1. Which may serve as the best title of the article? A. Cars Helping You to GrowUp B. Driving into the GrownUp World C. Teenagers' Driving in America D. Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult 2. 16yearold drivers have more accidents possibly because________. A. they want to show themselves off B. they are never experienced drivers C. older people always drive better D. they never drive carefully on the road 3. Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car? A. How well off the family is. B. Whether the kid is old enough. C. What traffic condition there is around. D. Whether it's practically needed. 4. When Chad said "I don't really trust my friends…, he meant that________. A. he might run into his friends if he drove B. he didn't agree with his friends C. he might not be safe if his friends drove D. he was afraid that his friends might well lie to him 5. The passage mainly gives information about ________. A. an American culture B. a cultural difference between America and China C. a change in the Chinese culture D. the relationship between driving and a person's development |

| I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago. Why are America's kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place. Considering that we_can't_turn_the_clock_back,_adults can still do plenty to help the next generation. At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress. To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for facetoface relationships, and they will get more sleep. Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news. Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale. Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life. 1. According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago ________. A. probably suffered less from anxiety B. were considered less individualistic C. were less isolated physically D. were probably less selfcentered 2. What does the author mean by saying "we can't turn the clock back" in the third paragraph? A. It's impossible to forget the past. B. The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten. C. It's impossible to slow down the pace of change. D. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten. 3. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are ________. A. illogical B. confusing C. surprising D. questionable 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. To children, anxiety is completely avoidable. B. TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world. C. Exercise does not help to lessen children's anxiety. D. Sometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little. 5. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is________. A. to lower their expectations for them B. to set a good model for them to follow C. to get them more involved socially D. to improve them with a safer environment |
