For three years, no matter 38 the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 am. On

15、 39 days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime 40 out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. 41 , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I 42 all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how 43 I expected to see

16、 her each morning. You might say I 44 her. “Did she have an accident Something 45 ” I thought to myself about her 46 . Now that she was gone, I felt I had 47 her. I began to realize that part of our 48 life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar 49 : the milkman you see at dawn, the wo

17、man who 50 walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are 51 markers in our lives. They add weight to our 52 of place and belonging.

22、 Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on childs play. Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, eve

23、n if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蚕食） ”

24、asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（认知的） s

25、kills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parentsan d they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培养） leadership by the smartest, not by the tou

26、ghest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not to blame. They are over-pr

27、otected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite （仪式） of passage. Everyone from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of expl

28、oring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement（增强） love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause. 【小题 1】 The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that _. A kids are missing the sense of wo

29、nder outdoors B parks are in danger of being gradually encroached C Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the Woods D children are expected to develop into protectors of nature 【小题 2】 According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will _. A keep a high sense of wonder B be over

30、-protected by their parents C be less healthy both physically and mentally D change wild places and creatures for the better 【小题 3】 According to the author, childrens breaking an arm is _. A the fault on the part of their parents B the natural experience in their growing up C the result of their own

31、 carelessness in play D the effect of their repetitive stress from computers 【小题 4】 In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to _. A blame children for getting lost in computer games B encourage children to protect parks from encroachment C show his concern about childrens lack of experien

32、ce in nature D inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 C While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geogr

33、aphical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”（空巢综合症） . In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will ret

34、urn home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as t

35、ightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in t

36、ime for their aged parents living by themselves. The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “

37、Empty Nest Syndrome”. 【小 题 1】 According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _. A their earlier experience of feeling lonely B the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries C the common worry about their income D the geographical distance between parents a

38、nd children 【小题 2】 Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _.

A they

39、 do not hold to the value of duty at all B they can give some help to their parents back home C they cannot do what they should for their parents D they believe what they actually do is right 【小题 4】 From the last paragraph, we can infer that _. A the situations in the developed and developing countr

40、ies are different B “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our society C children will become independent as soon as they go abroad D the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome” 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 B As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at t

41、he dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that

42、parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the pare

43、nts do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.” The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings. Lewis found that in families with three or four

44、children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are its the middle child

45、.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.” 【小题 1】 The writers purpose in writing the text is to _. A show the relationship between parents and children B teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table C report on the findings of a study D give information about family problems 【小题 2】 Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _
