Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They’re children who look after themselves whi le their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.Lynette Long was once the headmistress of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys fastened. I was constantly telling them to put them inside their shirts. There were so many keys. It never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned they were house keys.She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the impact(影响) working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in each three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scared. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed, or in a closet. The second is TV. They’ll often play it at high volume. It’s hard to get statistics(统计资料) on latchkey children, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.21. A feature(特征) shared by all “latchkey” children is that they.A. take keys to school around their necksB. suffer problems from being left aloneC. watch too much television during the dayD. are also found in middle-class neighborhoods22. The main feeling these children have when they are at home by themselves is.A. tirednessB. freedomC. lonelinessD. fear23. We may draw a conclusion that .A. it’s difficult to find out how many latchkey children there areB. latchkey children try to hide their feelingsC. latchkey children often watch TV with their parentsD. latchkey children enjoy having such a large amount of time aloneBIt is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand.It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend(倾向) to forget how they themselves felt when young..For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Old people worry more easily. Most of them plan things in advance, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have n ot yet been accepted. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents don’t like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control.If you prefer to control your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.24. According to the text, young people prefer to ______.A. ask for advice before they really start to do anythingB. do things without thinking carefully aheadC. be very strict with themselvesD. think in the same way as their parents do25. Young people like to have clothes, entertainment and music in their way, because______.A. they want to make their parents happyB. they try to get their parents to believe themC. they want to try on something new and look different from the olderD. they want to test whether they are cleverer than old people26. According to the text, young people want to make a new culture of their own, because_______.A. they don’t feel they belong to the world of the old peopleB. they do not want to get into troubleC. they feel they are as clever as old peopleD. they want to show they have grown up27. If a young man intends to control his own life, it’s better for him to _______.A. do everything according to his own wishB. do everything the way his parents doC. do everything beyond his parents’ controlD. hold himself responsible for everything he doesCIn 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a great bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible achievement and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical.Roebling thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to make his son Washington, a bright engineer, believe that the bridge could in fact be built.The project started well, but an accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk, talk or even move."We told them so.""Crazy men and their crazy dreams. ""It's foolish to hunt wild visions."Everyone felt that the project should be deserted since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever. He tried to inspire and pass on his eagerness to some of his friends.It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving his finger, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife.He touched his wife's arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish, but the project was under way again.For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the Grand Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as an honor to his determination not to be defeated by conditions.Even the most distant dream can be realized with determination.28. We can infer from the passage that the most important factor in completing thebridge was ______.A. technologyB. love of lifeC. determinationD. experience29. What was other bridge experts' attitude towards the idea of building the bridge?A. CuriousB. SurprisedC. SupportiveD. Discouraging30. Of all the people around him, who understood Washington best?A. His friendsB. His wifeC. The engineersD. His father31. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Damage to his brain made him only move one finger.B. His friends only trusted Washington's wife.C. Washington shared his father's determination immediately his father talked with him.D. The bridge was built as an honour to the father and his son.DHunting for a job is a painful experience, which nearly everyone must endure at least once in a lifetime. Books are published and magazine articles are written on the subject, all trying to tell job seekers what they should do or avoid doing in order to win the game. They can't calm the nervous applicant but they do offer some advice.To begin with, it is not a good idea to be late. Job interviewers don't think very highly of the candidate (应聘者) who arrives twenty minutes after the appointed time. The wise job seeker explores the place the day before. Next day he arrives early for the appointment.What makes a good impression? Being on time does, then, appearance. It is essential for the candidate to be dressed properly and to look alive. It is also very important to look at the interviewer in the eye because this "eye contact" gives a strong impression of sincerity and openness.Many candidates waste a good part of the interview explaining why they want the job; the man or woman on the other side of the desk is waiting to hear why the would-be employee would be good for the position and for the company.It is a very difficult task to display oneself to a possible employer: one must not be too humble, since it is essential to show one's good points and experiences. However, bragging doesn’t make a very good impression. One thing is certain: interview time is a time for honesty. The interviewer is trying to discover not only the professional worth but also the character of the man or the woman he is meeting.Therefore, he must rely on his observation of the applicant, her manners, what she says and how she says it.While this examination is going on the job seeker should remember that she too has a right to be curious. It is recommended that the applicant ask some serious questions about the job, the company, and its future. If the questions are intelligent, they will impress the interviewer favourably.32. The writer's purpose in writing the passage is to .A. offer tips on job seekingB. warn applicants not to be nervousC. analyze the thinking of interviewersD. stress the difficulty of job seeking33. Which of the following shows whether an applicant could benefit the company?A. How early he / she is.B. What he / she is wearing.C. His / Her explanation for the job.D. His / Her manners.34. The underlined word "bragging" probably means .A. humorousB. immodestC. honestD. talkative35. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?A. Job seekers should be as early as possible.B. Job seekers should be dressed as well as possible.C. Interviewers pay a lot of attention to applicants' behavior.D. Interviewers encourage applicants to ask questions.III. 阅读判断。
