| People of older generations often complain about the selfishness and lack of respect they find among the younger generations.It is undeniable that some young people do need to be educated on mutual respect and concern for others, especially senior members of society.But we older people should have some understanding about the young, too. Today"s society is rather different from what it was when we were young.The social, financial and psychological pressure today"s young people have to face is much higher than what we did back in the 1950s through the 1990s. They are in the early stage of their career.They have to find proper jobs to support themselves and work diligently to rise.They have to live in smaller houses, because they are unable to afford the soaring housing prices.Considering these facts, we may find it understandable why young people sometimes appear aloof and disrespectful. I don"t mean that we should put up with it without reminding them of the need to mend_their_ways. What I mean is that we should be more patient, understanding and tolerant toward them. For instance, when we get up on a bus or a subway train, we should not complain about not being offered a seat.A young person does not offer a senior citizen his/her seat probably because he/she has to travel a long way to work or because the carriage is too crowded for one to move at all. In fact, young people do offer their seats to the seniors.I seldom take a bus or a subway train, but more than a quarter of the times I have done so, I was offered a seat.That is fair enough, given that I do not look so senile. But on occasions, I have seen old people not showing any sign of gratitude when offered a seat. China has become an aging society since the end of the last century.According to a recent survey, people older than 60 accounted for 11.4 percent of the nation"s population.And the percentage is expected to rise, given the onechild family planning policy our country has practiced for more than three decades. In other words, the younger generations will have to shoulder a heavier burden in looking after the parents and grandparents.Theoretically, there will come a day when one couple may have to support four parents and eight grandparents.What a burden it would be! All this demands that we show more concern and understanding to our younger generations. 1. What can be the best title for the text? A. Should the young show respect for the old? B. Young people deserve more understanding C. Who should be blamed, the young or the old? D. A debate between the young and the old 2. The author"s attitude towards young people not giving up seats to the old is________. A. unreasonable B. unacceptable C. understandable D. unusual 3. According to the passage, the underlined phrase "mend their ways" is closest in meaning to "______". A. give way to the old B. stop behaving badly C. respect the old D. take on more responsibilities 4. Which of the following will the author agree with? A. It is the old rather than the young who are to blame for their misunderstanding. B. It is time that the society lightened the burden on the shoulder of the young. C. It is time to change China"s onechild family planning policy. D. The old and the young need mutual understanding. 5. How is the passage mainly developed? A. By reasoning. B. By comparing. C. By listing examples. D. By following the natural time order. | |||

| It might have been a really bad stressful day,feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us.My husband was the first to shift his consciousness.He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman. At first he stood alone,piling massive amounts of snow.Soon after a neighbor joined my husband to embrace the opportunity the winter presented.Maintaining less than desirable attitudes,we reluctantly put on our snow gear (用具) and headed outside.It wasn"t long before we were smiling and enjoying the abundance of snow that Mother Nature had provided.Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman. In the end we all stood back and marveled at what we had created.He was eleven feet high,twentyfive feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families.There he stood,our glorious,gigantic (巨人般的) snowman. People drove by and smiled.Some even stopped to enjoy his existence.The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures allowed. With the passing of time,the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably.In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer,somebody stopped by and changed the snowman"s remains to look like a rabbit. As I prepared for the start of another week,I decided to check my email before going to bed.I found a curious message that contained the subject line:enjoy the snowman.I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it.The words it contained melted my heart. The email said:...your neighbor looks on in disbelief!I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells,along with sights of spring.The energy displayed in Mr Snowman or Ms,is filled with vigor and joyous energy.You and your family keep it up,as this is what the world needs now.Love sweet love. More power to you and your loved ones,keep sharing with the world around. Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day.I"d like to agree that it was.The message seems clear.Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them.The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours. 1.
