almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.
By contrast, only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years
ago, research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows. It also found that grown-up sons are
twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents in their late 20s. With nearly a quarter of
men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims of a "generation of
mummy"s boys".
Rising property prices, mounting student debts and the effects of recession on the job market have
forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally
be moving out. Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been nicknamed the "boomerang
generation" because of the trend toward returning to the family home having firstly left to study. Recent
research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice as likely to chose to live with their parents
in their late 20s than their counterparts(对手们) elsewhere in Europe. But commentators warned that the
phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing "dire" prospects(景象) than simply a desire
to save money. While the proportion of those of university or college age moving out from the family
home has continued to rise in the last 20 years, among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has been
reversed(颠倒).
Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents, including more
than 760,000 in their late 20s, the ONS figures suggest. In 1988 22. 7 per cent of men aged 25 to 29
were still living with their parents but last year the proportion was 24. 5 per cent, according to the ONS.
B. Grown-up sons who are still be living with their parents are twice as likely as their sisters.
C. Young people who live with parents now in Britain are less than elsewhere in Europe.
D. More and more elder people trend to live independently.
B. that they want to take care of their old parents
C. that their parents are badly sick
D. that they face miserable phenomenon
B. now live with their parents
C. leave for college
D. go to work
B. these prospects have nothing to do with the financial crisis
C. more and more young people will live with their parents in the future in Britain
D. the government should be responsible for this
B. Boomerang Generation
C. Living with Their Parents
D. Going back
Do you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take
with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you
can still find your way.
It"s never a good idea to imagine that the family member
who was entrusted (委托) with the job of map-reading actually
knows where the family is. You can tell by the slightly
confused load on their faces that nothing on the ground seems
to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and it"s still
morning.If you don"t know the exact time, you can still find
out where south is, but you"ll need to be patient.
①Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place
where you can mark its shadow.
②Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can.
You can check this by making a simple plumb line (铅锤线)
with a piece of string and weight. You haven"t got any string?
OK, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the
end to act as a weight.
③Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick.
④Wait approximately half an hour and mark the end of
the shadow again.
⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks.
⑥The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest
shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in
the sky and pointing to the exact south.
⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the
shortest shadow and the stick.
⑧That point is south of where you are.
⑨Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and
find which way you should be travelling.
B. it is not easy to position the stick
C. it takes hours to make the marks
D. it takes about half an hour to make the marks
B. those who get lost
C. those who make compasses
D. those who do experiments
B. describing an activity in a lively way
C. testing an idea by reasoning
D. introducing a practical method

Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time, some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called _____ .
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person"s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain release the same hormones. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. in general the person feels excited and ready to act.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
may feel as though your personality is dull and uninspiring. 1
Listen to what others have to say. Most people enjoy talking about their lives and themselves, so
become more interested and you will seem more interesting. 2 Look them directly in the eyes and ask
them questions or comment on what they have just told you, instead of just waiting for your turn to talk
about yourself.
3 Watch the news, read books, and pay attention. If you don"t know about a particular topic,
research it and form an opinion on it. People like to be around others who can carry on conversations
about lots of things.
Look for the humor in every situation. A sense of humor can work wonders for a dull personality, so
laugh as often as you can and you"ll be a more naturally attractive person. Laughter can also get rid of your stress to a degree. 4
Accept and love yourself and others. When you dislike yourself and your personality, other people pick up on this, and they may assume they shouldn"t like you, either. 5
Judge other people less as well; gossip and speaking poorly of others can seem like good short-term
entertainment, but in the long run it can make you seem dull and untrustworthy.
B. Make everyone you speak to feel important.
C. Your brain will see these situations as reality.
D. Search for the best in yourself and everyone else.
E. When you feel better, you"re more fun to be around.
F. You"d better make a few simple changes to your outlook.
G. But it"s relatively easy to develop those personalities that you find so interesting.
one"s time and services is very much a part of the American way of life. Most charitable activities are
organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government. The
helping hand is extended to the poor, the homeless and the disabled. Some people work to teach
youngsters how to read. others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless. Volunteers also take care
of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages (孤儿院) to help
children without parents.
High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities
center around volunteer services. Students may work with disabled children during a summer program,
or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shut-ins. With their
sense of idealism (理想主义) students are often eager to donate their spare time. They see such
activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult-world. Social action for them
becomes as important as their academic studies.
In a like manner, throughout the year, fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and
community groups to raise money for a worthy cause. They may respond to a recent earthquake in a
foreign country, a flood somewhere within their own, or another natural disaster which has left people
destitute and homeless. They may organize drives to collect food, clothing and medicines to serve an
immediate need. Today even the Halloween custom of "trick or treat" has become an occasion to collect
money for a charitable cause.
This call to help those less fortunate than themselves arises from the humble origins of the American
nation. Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden (受压迫的) became dependent on the
kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves.
American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. They volunteer by
serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad, which no doubt enriches both his life and
those whom he serves.
B. Some students bring meals to old people who can"t go out easily.
C. Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake.
D. Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas.
B. Because they want to go to better universities.
C. Because they can get higher scores at school.
D. Because they can realize their dream sooner.
B. penniless
C. useless
D. valueless
B. Americans are mostly kind
C. poor immigrants needed help badly
D. poor Americans couldn"t live on without help
B. Voluntary Work in the US
C. Ways to help the Poor
D. American Volunteers Around the World
