What do you think the future(未來) will be like? Here are some answers from some students.

I am Mary. In my opinion, if we do not take care of the earth now, our children and grandchildren will be born into a world with much pollution(污染). There will be fewer trees and more buildings, because there will be more people.

I’m Jack. I agree with Mary. Things will be worse. The weather in the future will be much hotter. People won’t be able to live on the earth. We will have to look for another planet to live on.

I’m Linda. I think the life in the future will be better. Most people in the world will use “green cars” by 2020, so there will be less pollution and people will live to be 200 years old. As for space travel, I would say, we will visit Mars(火星) in about fifty years.

Since last year, Where Are We Going, Dad? has become one of the most popular TV shows. On the show, the five fathers and their children traveled around China, riding camels through the western desserts(沙漠)， fishing on the east coast, and selling vegetables for their bus fare(費(fèi)用 )home in southwestern Yunnan Province.

One dad doesn’t know how to do his daughter’s hair, so some people try to help him. Another one must survive(生存) with his son for three days in the desert. Because the father can’t cook, they only eat instant noodles(方便面).

Why is Where Are We Going, Dad? so popular? Because it is about how Chinese parents look after their kids. The show makes modern parents think about what they should do with their kids. “In traditional(傳統(tǒng)的) Chinese culture, the father is strict and the mother is kind. But on the show, we see fathers who are much kinder on their kids and more involved(參與) in their upbringing(成長).”said Li Minyi, a professor of early childhood education.

In the past, children were taught to follow their parents’ wishes and look after them in their old age. But today Chinese parents start to realize(意識(shí)到) that respecting(尊重) their children’s choices may be a better way to be ready for modern society. As they raise(養(yǎng)育) their children, parents are growing up（成長） at the same time.

1.According to the passage, what didn’t the fathers and their children do on the show?

A. Rode camels B. Sold vegetables

C. Climbed the mountains D. Fished on the east coast

2. One father and his son only eat instant noodles because_________.

A. there aren’t any vegetables in the desert

B. the father can’t cook

C. they think instant noodles are delicious

D. they have no money to buy something to eat

3.In the fourth paragraph, the underlined word “them” refers to(指的是)______.

A. modern parents

B. the five fathers in the past

C. the parents in the past

D. the children in the old days

4. Why is Where Are We Going, Dad? so popular?

A. Because it is about how Chinese parents look after their children.

B. Because there are many famous stars on the show.

C. Because it is about how to help the poor.

D. Because it is about how to sell vegetables.

5. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Fathers are much kinder on their kids on the show

B. Children were told to follow their parents’ wishes in the past

C. Parents can also learn something when they raise their children.

D. In traditional culture, parents are both strict with their children.
