閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從下列各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
Many people of my generation(代，一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that 11  people behave today.
Their first argument（論點） is that when we were young we used to look after the  12  people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t  13  about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no 14  . People had to live with their  15  and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more  16   to live where they want.
Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect （盼望，期待）to be given jobs -----and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain（抱怨） about  17   . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts（關系）. It is really   18 today.
In conclusion I think there is hope for the  19  . This generation, like generations before them, has new  20  as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.

Read the passage carefully．Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Most people look forward to retirement as a time when they can finally take up activities that they never had the time or energy to pursue before．But some recent studies on people in their golden years are disturbing: they suggest that retirees are more likely to suffer from depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure．That’s why a new study of French workers is welcome news.
Led by Hugo Westland, a professor of psychology at Stockholm University, the study of more than 14,000 workers found lower rates of depression and fatigue (疲勞) in people after they got tired while they were still employed.
The scientists followed the employees of the French national gas and electric company for 14 years．They found in the year immediately after retirement, the volunteers reported 40% fewer depressive symptoms than they had in the year before their retirement．The researchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mental and physical fatigue over the same time period.
Clearly, said Westerlund, much of these decrease in physical and mental fatigue can be traced back to relief from the stresses of work．The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having a positive mental effect, too, which may have a lot to do with the generous pensions (養(yǎng)老金) that French workers enjoy．Most retirees in that country still benefit from about 80% of their yearly salaries.
“The economic or financial situation in retirement is very important,” Westerlund says．“We don’t know if the decrease in fatigue and depressive symptoms is because of the removal of something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement．But no matter the reason, if life in retirement is not comfortable, then we won’t see the improvements we did.”
However, in European nations like France, governments are considering changes to pension plans, which may affect retirees’ health after they leave their jobs－with less of a financial safety net, workers may no longer seem so mentally and physically happy to be out of work．   
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)
小題1:According to some recent studies, retired people may have depression and higher rates of other diseases like __________.
小題2:Westerlund’s group found that in the year just after the retirement most retired French workers felt much less tired both __________.
小題3:What does the word “improvements” in paragraph 5 refer to?
小題4:Retirement may make people happier with __________.

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

A．yourselfB．your friendsC．your schoolD．your parents.

There is much more to growing up in a bilingual(雙語的) family than learning two languages, and the cultural influences from both cultures are just as important.
In July we had a curious incident that shows the slight differences between cultures. My son has already changed a few of his baby teeth and since we lived in Italy we decided to go with the Italian version(版本) of the Tooth Fairy, which is not a fairy(仙女) but a little mouse. So last year when he lost his first tooth we had a visit from the little mouse who took the tooth away and left a rather good amount of coins --- when he lost the second tooth a few days later, however, the amount was significantly less! That in itself caused quite a few questions, but the real questions started when in July during a visit to the UK another tooth left my son’s mouth in Tooth Fairy land! The grandparents made a real problem out of it --- it was their first grandson’s tooth they got to say Goodbye to, so it was Tooth Fairy and rather generous, too!
The Qs & As
Son: Mum, how is the little mouse going to smell my tooth all this way? (as the story goes the little mouse smells a milk tooth and comes to collect it)
Me: No dear, it won’t! We are in England now so the Tooth Fairy will come.
Son: Oh, is she stronger than the little mouse? (I knew where this was going)
Me: She is very strong, and she is magic.
Son: What does the Tooth Fairy bring? (straight to the point)
Me: I am not sure. We’ll find out maybe a nice message.
Son: So is the little mouse coming too?
Me: No, it won’t make it all the way from Italy.
Son: But why don’t they have little mice in England?
Me: Because here the Tooth Fairy collects all baby teeth and she’s too fast, so the little mouse would always get there late.
Son: Oh!?
小題1:Italian kids are supposed to believe ________ will come and collect the milk teeth.
A．a(chǎn) little mouse
B．Tooth Fairy
C．their parents
D．the grandparents
小題2:The author thought Tooth Fairy would be rather generous because ________.
A．Italian parents often give much money for their kids’ lost baby teeth[
B．she knew Tooth Fairy was more generous than the little mouse
C．she knew the grandparents would give her son a big gift
D．English people are usually more generous than Italians
小題3:Hearing “Oh, is she stronger than the little mouse?”, the author knew her son was actually worried about ________.
A．the tooth fairy’s health
B．the little mouse’s coming
C．the amount of coins he could get
D．the story his grandparents know
小題4:By telling this story, the author intends to say it’s important to _________ in a bilingual family.
A．make kids know the folk stories
B．help kids choose one of the cultures
C．teach kids two languages
D．keep the balance of both cultures

Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own。We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies Beyond our everyday lives.
This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists（幻想）literature or movies like the lord of the rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other，to the world around us ,and to the world of make-believe.but have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?
Human beings，as biologists have suggested，possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms，However, people，especially in big eities，often lead rather isolated lives，In a study of  British schoolchildren，it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than common wildlife.without modem technology，a small Pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants，insects，birds，and animals 。when we lack meaning（交互）with the world around us,and somethings even with our families and friends，we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。
The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad,but when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet（出路）for our sense of wonder，then we are really missing something，we are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful wonderful worlds exist all around us.but even more interesting is that if we look closely enough，we can see that these worlds,in a broad sense,are really part of our own.
小題1:The popularity of the lord of the rings.proves       
A．the close connection between man and the fantasy world
B．the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature
C．the fine taste of moviegoers around the world
D．the general existence of the sense of curiosity
小題2:What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A．people are far less familiar witn the world of fantasy
B．the world around us could serve as a source of wonder
C．the world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.
D．Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder
小題3:If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe,we will       
A．fail to appreciate the joy in our lives
B．be confused by the world of make-believe
C．miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world
D．be trapped by other worlds existing all around us
小題4:What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To show us the hidden beauty in our world.
B．to warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.
C．To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.
D．To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe.
