Boomeran

10、g Kids can be a mixed blessing for parents, both emotionally and financially.Especially during hard economic times, adult children head for home. According to a survey, about 40 percent of 2017 graduates still live with their parents. Moreover, 42 percent of the 2015 graduates surveyed said they are

11、 still living at home.The reasons are many, the first being economics. While the recession(衰退) has touched Americans of all ages, it has been very hard for young adults. This has sent many kids back home. Plus, there is the matter of debt, especially college loans. For many recent graduates, it make

12、s smart economic sense to move back in with their parents where life is comfortable and rent is either low or nonexistent. Then, of course, some return for personal reasons, such as recovering from a divorce or an illness.Parents are often glad to help out, both emotionally and financially. As a 4re

13、sult, the arrangement often works to everyones satisfaction. However, there are risks, especially for the parents. These include not only family tension and misunderstandings, but also money. The return to the family can become a financial burden that can affect the parents plans and their financial

14、 future, especially their retirement, as they try to do too much for their children.21.

Most graduates choose to live with their parents.BHave you ever looked out of the window of a passenger plane from 30,000 feet at the vast expanses of empty ocean and uninhabited land, and wondered how people can have any ma

17、jor effect on the Earth? I have. It is now becoming pretty clear that we are causing a great deal of damage to the natural environment. And the planes which rush us in comfort to destinations around the globe, contribute to one of the biggest environmental problems that we face today global warming.

18、 As usual, people in the developing world are having to deal with problems created mainly by those of us in developed countries. Beatrice Schell, a 5spokeswoman for the European Federation for Transport and Environment says that, “One person flying in an airplane for one hour is responsible for the

19、same greenhouse gas emissions（排放） as a typical Bangladeshi in a whole year.” And every year jet aircraft produce almost as much carbon dioxide as the entire African continent does. There is a way of offsetting(抵消) the carbon dioxide we produce when we travel by plane. A company called Future Forests

20、 offers a service which can relieve the guilty consciences of air travelers. The Future Forest website calculates the amount of CO2 you are responsible for producing on your flight, and for a small fee will plant a number of trees which will absorb this CO2. Yesterday I returned to Japan from Englan

21、d, and was happy to pay Future Forests 25 pounds to plant the 3 trees which balance my share of the CO2 produced by my return flight. Now the only thing making me lose sleep is jet lag. 24.

24、orests. C. Persuading people to stop taking planes when they travel.D. Arousing peoples awareness of the harm caused by flights.C6Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to E

25、ngland, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.

26、 So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their childrens skills

27、 vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that todays children lack self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not te

28、aching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience an

29、d time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.Some old machines, such as a b

30、roken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think

31、, to use his mind. And that is more important. 27Parents in China, according to this passage, _.7A. are too strict with their children B. are too rich to educate their childrenC. have some problems in educating their children correctlyD. are too poor to educate their children28The writer of the pass
