AJan Fields, our web editor, has always loved two things—writing and teaching, so she’s done both throughout her professional career. After graduating from college with a BA in Journalism, she quickly found that writing for newspapers didn’t fulfill her dreams. So she switched to magazines and soon began teaching magazine writing. Still, something didn’t feel quite right. She wanted more challenges and creativity.In the 1980s, Jan answered a call to rewrite a year’s children’s church lessons. She quickly found that writing stories and activities for children offered all she desired. She dove in and has never looked back. Her work has appeared in Ladybug, Shining Star and many others.As Jan continued building credit in children’s magazines, educational magazines, and parenting magazines, she looked for opportunities to pass along what she had learned to otherwriters. Soon, teaching small community college clas ses wasn’t enough—she wanted to help other writers to find success in creating material for children.In 2001, she discovered the Institute of Children’s Literature and she’s been happily instructing students here ever since. To best meet her students’ needs, she’s constantly searching out new information. As a web editor, Jan looks after the needs of all the visitors to this site. She moderates the Scheduled Events discussion groups and the Writer’s Retreat forum, writes for the Writer’s Support Room, and edits the Writer’s Support Room and Writing Tips articles.Jan is always open to suggestions for new ways to meet the needs of the writing communities. Feel free to email her. She’s eager to hear from you.21. Jan Fields finds ________ is what she really wants most.A. writing for newspapersB. teaching magazine writingC. writing stories and activities for childrenD. teaching small community college classes22. Jan Fields gave up her first two jobs mainly because ________.A. she was badly paid as a journalistB. she was not good at writing at collegeC. the jobs didn’t seem challenging or creativeD. she likes teaching better than writing23. It can be inferred that the Institute of Children’s Literature is ________.A. where Jan Fields graduatedB. where writing material is on saleC. where Jan Fields cooperates with other writersD. where children are taught writing by Jan FieldsBA few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.It seemed ridiculous. On a pra ctical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one pla ce.So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.My friends and I –“Generation Y” –still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cell phones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的) – starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessari ly a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.By Ariel Lewiton 24. What is the main “generation gap” between the author and her friends and their paren ts according to the article?A. Their attitude toward high technology.B. Their ways of making their way to the top.C. Their attitude towards responsibility.D. Their ways of gaining experience.25. Which of the following might the author agree with?A. It’s all right to try more before settling down.B. It’s better to ta ke adult responsibility earlier.C. It involves too much effort to rise vertically.D. It’s ridiculous to call her generation “arrogant”.26. What is the main theme of the article?A. The sudden realization of growing up.B. A comparison between lifestyles of generations.C. Criticisms of the young generation.D. The factors that have changed the young generation.CA hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub(妖怪枢纽站) was found in the A&E department. Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go ‘gym’ – where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards because walking around is healthy. But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E. It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major annoyance it would ask Nintendo – which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according using GPS – to have it removed from the premises(道馆).Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse, said, “Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer. We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital. I’m also aware of various reports in the media of uns afe areas that the game has been played in.”“Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.” Michelle Harris, the Trust’s manager, said the game could still be played by those already in hospital. “We recognize that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise, which is something that the Trust is equally keen to promote,” she said.There are a number of “walking routes” established throughout the Trust that can be used tocombine walking and playing the game. “Wal king just 30 minutes, five times a week, can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.”There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release. Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100ft underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters. The four boys, aged 16 and 17, ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help. Eventually, they contacted Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team, who took them to safety. Damien Bence, of the fire and rescue team, said: “Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations.”27. It seems that Pokemon Go is a game______.A. designed to help patients in hospital recover soonerB. helping cure such diseases as obesity, diabetes and heart diseaseC. encouraging players to walk and exercise instead of staying indoorsD. warning teenagers of the places easy to get lost or attacked28. The A&E department is unbelievably busy because________.A. more patients’ arrival increases the workload of the A&E departmentB. doctors’ playing the game makes the A&E department less efficientC. players’ injury increases the workload of the A&E departmentD. pl ayers’ arrival disturbs the work of the A&E department29. The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means_______.A. hurtB. disturbedC. trappedD. threatened30. The passage is mainly about________.A. the negative effects of Pokemon Go since its UK releaseB. the applications of Pokemon Go in hospitals since its UK releaseC. the popularity of Pokemon Go since its UK releaseD. the establishment of Pokemon Go virtual gyms since its UK release第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
