11.The pace of today's working life blurs (使模糊) the line between personal time and work time,and it increasingly mixes one's personal lifestyle and work style.And as companies are trying hard to attract and keep young people for their technical skills and enthusiasm for change,office culture is becoming an extension of youth culture.This may be no bad thing.For most of human history the middle-aged have ruled,but in the future,they will have to share power with fresh-faced youths.
There have been a number of reasons for this change and the most dramatic of these is technology.Children have always been more expert than their parents at something,but usually a game or a fashion,not the century's most important business tool.The Internet has started the first industrial revolution in history to be led by the young.Though there have been youth revolutions before,none of them made a big change the way the Internet has.Throughout the 20th century,if a young person wanted to enter an American company,they needed to leave their youth behind.They got a haircut,and probably a suit or at least a tie.Now the same hair,same clothes,even nearly the same hours apply to office and home.
Had it not been for the Internet,this change could not have happened.However,it did not happen because of the Internet only; the corporate restructurings (公司重組) of the 1980s and 1990s broke down traditional hierarchies (等級制度).In many companies,seniority-based (基于資歷的) hierarchies have been replaced by hierarchies based on performance.The abilities to please your superiors are no longer the most valued skills.Today's employees stay with companies only as long as they feel challenged and rewarded; moving from job to job is now a sign of ambition.
The rise of the young is a good thing,because it gives them more opportunity to put their ideas and energy into practice at their most creative stage in life.Nowadays youth and youth qualities seem to dominate,but the experience and maturity of older employees should be put to good use,too.

32.A company tries to attract young people for theirD.
A.office culture 
B.modern lifestyle
C.changing attitude 
D.technical abilities
33.In the 20th century,to enter an American company,a young person needed toC.
A.work in the office and at home 
B.have an eye-catching hairstyle
C.dress in the business style 
D.leave the business tool behind
34.Why is the rise of the young a good thing?C
A.They become more energetic in life.
B.They have taken over the companies.
C.Their creativity can be put to good use.
D.Their ideas appeal to a great many people.
35.What can be inferred from the passage?B
A.Young people will lead in fashion.
B.Young people will have more power.
C.Older people will step off the historical stage.
D.Older people will continue to be the main force.

19.Nail-biting(咬指甲) is one of the most common annoying habits in children.(36)A But you needn't worry too much and as soon as you realize what's causing nail-biting,you can help your child overcome and stop it.So,here's what you can do about it.
(37)B    In some cases,children won't even realize they are biting their nails,let alone know why they are doing it.So make sure you have a conversation with your child (if he/she is old enough)and make him/her realize he/she is doing it and try to figure out why it's happening.

6."We are good mothers,"I said to my friend,as we sat on our comfortable beach chairs under our beach umbrella and watched our children playing in the waves.
Out of nowhere,the children took off running.About fifty yards from us,a man-maybe in his fifties-was fishing.The children stood next to him and watched with their little mouths hanging open as he cast the fishing lines.He smiled at them.They ran back to us-all except my three-year-old daughter,Drew.
My heart beat fast with horror."Drew!Come here!Play with your friends!"I shouted,very aware that my speeches about not talking to strangers weren't working.It seemed that many parents heard of horrible stories about children being taken away by strangers.Responsible mothers should teach their children that the world is a dangerous place.So I felt relieved when Drew ran towards me and took hold of a shovel(鏟子).Then she looked me in the eye:"I want to be with the person."
Again,she approached the middle-aged man,and started digging next to him.
Several seconds later,she returned,waving something shiny.
"Look,Mommy!A toy fish!"
It was,indeed,a toy fish-yellow and rubber.This must have been what he was using to attract the fish.And he'd given it to Drew.The three other children were deeply impressed,and they didn't try to hide how jealous(妒忌的)they were-clearly,they all wanted the fish.
"My friend gave me that fish!"Drew shouted loudly.The sand in front of the umbrella turned into a preschool cage match with a yellow rubber fish flying through the air.I felt like I might cry myself.
Unexpectedly,there he was:the man,standing right next to us with three more rubber fish in hand.He handed them to each of the children.By their faces,you would have thought he was actually the really kind big brother.
"Thank you,"I said,realizing that there is good and kindness in strangers.

24.How did the author feel when Drew stood beside the man?C
A.Relieved
B.Angry
C.Concerned
D.Calm
25.The author thinks good mothers shouldB.
A.be around their kids
B.warn their kids of danger
C.teach their kids to behave well
D.devote themselves to helping their kids
26.The author was at a loss whenB.
A.Drew handed her the toy fish
B.the kids fought for the toy fish
C.the toy fish was covered with sand
D.the stranger appeared from nowhere
27.What would be the best title for the text?A
A.Give a kid a fish
B.We are good mothers
C.The world is dangerous
D.Teach kids to be kind.
