B
The Young Can"t Wait
By Severn Cullies Suzuki
When you are little, it"s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my enthusiasm when, at the age of 12, I addressed the delegates at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ending poverty（贫困） and finding environmental answers, what a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us, but I challenge you, please, to make your actions reflect（反省） your words.”
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation. Some of the delegates even cried. I thought that maybe I had reached some of them, that my speech might actually spur（刺激） action. Now, a decade（十年） from Rio, after I"ve sat through many more conferences, I"m not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual"s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I"m learning that as we have to make choices—education, career, lifestyle—life gets more and more complicated. We are beginning to feel pressure to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is progress, but we aren"t taught how to pursue a happy, healthy or sustainable way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was idealistic and naive.
Today I"m no longer a child, but I"m worried about what kind of environment my children will grow up in. I know change is possible, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, but if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the positive tide of change.
60．The purpose of what the writer said at the age of 12 was to _______.
A．end poverty and make school beautiful
B．find environmental answers and keep the words that they always told themselves
C．end poverty and solve the problems about environment
D．find a wonderful place and clean it up
61．What does the underlined word “ovation” in the second paragraph refer to _____.
A．a long period of laughing B．a warm welcome
C．an expression used for greeting D．a long period of clapping and applause
62．It becomes clear that the writer is possibly _________ now.
A．in his teens B．in his twenties C．in his thirties D．in his forties

As school fl,tats again，there’s SO much mole for an American parent to nag(唠叨)about，like
homework，bedtime and lost hours on the Intemet．But in the age of digital childhood，Jacky Long-well，45，of McLean，Virginia，often text—messages(发短信)what she OnCe told her children bymouth_"Be nice to your brother；walk the dog；remember your reading．
This is the world of the modem family，in which even reminding children to do something has
become electronic．
There are changes in how parents nag and in what they nag about and in the frequency of their
nagging．
With technology，“you nag more，and you are a little bit more：precise with your nagging．’’said
Reginald Black，46，of Woodbridge，Virginia．
For many young people，electronic nagging is part of the experience of growing up．Charles Flowers，17，131．$enior at St．John“College High School in Washington．says his mothel-reminds him about everything from laundry，being Oil time to baseball practice and mowing the lawn by text．
When she uses capitals he knows she is serious：GET HOME!
Some say technology has made nagging less annoying．
Jaeky Longwell thinks texts ale less emotional than spoken messages and less likely to be resisted by teenagers．
It’s not as painful for them to hear it by text．It becomes grouped with the friendly communication，”she said．“They can’t hear the nagging．”
She thinks a good way to do it is to mix friendliness with nagging．A parent Call always start by
saying hello．
Not all parents like the new electronic r,agging．Joyce Bouehard，51，a mother of four in Fairfax，Virginia，texts her 14一year—old son but says that for many things — chores，homework— the
old—fashioned way works better．Nagging by text has risks，she notes：I always think，if you are texting them something and they are with their friends，they ale getting a big laugh out of it．’’
