Every kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child — pretending(假装) to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.
But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become “kidults”. Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with such as Hello Kitty, Garfield.
Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales. For example, the British publisher (出版商)Bloomsbury even released an edition of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book.
“Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Child-like emotion(情感) may be needed in such a hard society,” said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap(代沟) between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, cartoon shows and movies to enjoy together.
Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They stick to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city make them scared. Kidults would like to forget their age and openl y show their fear of society and adulthood. “So, they can keep away from busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said.
64. Why does a kid wish to be an adult?
A. Because he wants to be independent like an adult
B. Because he doesn’t want to be controlled by adults.
C. Because he really wants to experience the real world.
D. Because he thinks there will be more exciting life when he grows up.
65. What can we infer（推断）from the passage?
A. All kid refuse to grow up.
B. Kidults think childhood is a good time of their life.
C. Some kidults in Britain like being doctors or teachers..
D. All kidults want to keep away from the busy and stressful life.
66. What is one of the advantages of the kidult culture？
A. It can make adults face the real social life.
B. It can make our society young and full of life.
C. It can increase the sales of children’s books.
D. It helps build good relationship between adults and kids.
67. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Kidult Culture
B. Happy Childhood
C. Fearful Adulthood
D. Kids or Grown-ups
【分析】本文主要讲述的是有关于kidults的事情．这是一种忘不了自己童年乐趣的人，他们看漫画、收集童年物品．
【解答】64．D，细节理解题，根据
At that time， anything seemed more exciting than being young可知孩子假扮成年人会觉得很刺激、很兴奋，故选D．
65．B，细节理解题，根据
some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind． They become "kidults"可知所谓的kidults是指那些无法忘记自己童年乐趣的人，故选B．
66．D，细节理解题，根据He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap（代
沟） between adults and kids可知kidults可以填补成人和孩子之间的代沟，故选D．67．A，主旨归纳题，文章第二段提到
But now as grown-ups， some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind． They become "kidults"有些成年人忘不了自己的童年记忆，这种人被称为kidults，下文也主要介绍的是kidult文化，故选A．
【点评】对于阅读表达题，一定要记得首先通读全文，了解文章关于kidults的介绍，然后再根据文章关键词，关键句，掌握细节问题，并进行推理判断，再去回答具体的问题．
C
When you are away from home，eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full．Sharing a meal with others is a kind of communication．
When you are in a foreign country，saying yes to the food on your plate is important．It means that you accept the host and the country．That's why most experienced travelers try to eat everything everywhere, even though the dish looks strange．
We often feel uncomfortable with food that we are unfamiliar（不熟悉的) with．However，food that seems strange in one culture may be a favorite food in another．South China，for example，there are many restaurants that make dishes from snakes．Sheep's eyeballs may be unfamiliar in some parts of the world，but in Saudi Arabia，they are a choice food．In parts of Colombia，roasted ants are．Can you refuse such food politely？Most experienced travelers say no．You should at least try a bit of it．Cut things into very thin pieces．This way，you won't notice what it looks like or remember where it came from．Or，"swallow（咽下）it quickly，"as one traveler advises．"I still can't tell you what roasted ants taste like．"
Another useful piece of advice is this：It's better if you don't know what you are eating．Don't ask what's for dinner．Avoid looking at the kitchen or looking at restaurant menus．Your host will be very happy because you are eating the food that he or she offers．
68. Why is it important to say yes to the food on your plate in a foreign country?
A. Because it shows the importance of tasting foreign food.
B. Because it shows you are a very polite traveler.
C. Because it means you accept the food culture in this country.
D. Because it means you are interested in the foreign country.
69. Where has the traveler in Paragraph 4 most probably been to?
A. the United States.
B. China .
C. Saudi Arabia.
D. Colombia.
70. According to the text，what should you do when served strange food in a foreign country?
A. Learn where it came from.
B. See how it was cooked.
