Now, what have kids done? ___________B____________. Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust (大屠***), Ruby Bridges helped end segregation(隔离) in the United States, and, most recently, Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike. So, as you can see evidenced by such examples, age has absolutely nothing to do with it. We are called childish so often by adults that we should abolish this age-discrimination when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.
Then again, who"s to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren"t exactly what the world needs? Maybe you"ve had grand plans before, but stopped yourself, thinking: That"s impossible or that costs too much or that won"t benefit me. For better or worse, we kids aren"t hampered as much when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things. ___________C____________. Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking, like my wish that no one went hungry or that everything were free kind of utopia(乌托邦). How many of you still dream like that and believe in the possibilities? Sometimes a knowledge of history and the past failures of utopian ideals can be a burden. On the other hand, we kids still dream about perfection. ___________D____________. And that"s a good thing because in order to make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first.
Now, our inborn wisdom doesn"t have to be insiders" knowledge. Kids already do a lot of learning from adults, and we have a lot to share. I think that adults should start learning from kids. Now, I do most of my speaking in front of an education crowd, teachers and students, and I like this analogy. It shouldn"t just be a teacher at the head of the classroom telling students to do this, do that. The students should teach their teachers. Learning between grown ups and kids should be reciprocal. The reality, unfortunately, is a little different, and it has a lot to do with trust, or a lack of it. Now, if you don"t trust someone, you place restrictions on them, right. If I doubt my older sister"s ability to pay back the 10 percent interest I established on her last loan, I"m going to withhold her ability to get more money from me until she pays it back.
True story, by the way. Now, adults seem to have a prevalently restrictive attitude towards kids from every "don"t do that," "don"t do this" in the school handbook, to restrictions on school internet use. Kids have no, or very little, say in making the rules, when really the attitude should be reciprocal(相互的), meaning that the adult population should learn and take into account the wishes of the younger population.
Adults, you need to listen and learn from kids. The world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas. Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed. Are you ready to make the match?

解析
试题分析：当大人们指责孩子“childish”的时候，似乎认为“adults”就不会有不负责任和不合理的想法，而事实是，很多小孩子比成年人表现得更有责任感。有时成年人应该倾听孩子的话，向孩子学习。
小题1:填词题：从下文的：After all, take a look at these events: imperialism（帝国主义）and colonization（殖民主义）, world wars, George W. Bush. Ask yourself: Who"s responsible? Adults.可知作者认为被称为是孩子气是令人心烦的，选A。
小题2:细节题：从文章第二段的句子：We are called childish so often by adults that we should abolish this age-discrimination when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.
可知作者认为成年人称孩子幼稚是因为成年人被针对儿童的年龄歧视驱使着，选D
小题3:细节题：从文章倒数第二段的句子：Now, adults seem to have a prevalently restrictive attitude towards kids from every "don"t do that," "don"t do this" in the school handbook, to restrictions on school internet use. Kids have no, or very little, say in making the rules, when really the attitude should be reciprocal(相互的), meaning that the adult population should learn and take into account the wishes of the younger population.可知根据作者所说Excess restrictions.最不能解释孩子比成年人有优势。选D。
小题4:标题确定题：从全篇文章和最后一段的句子：Adults, you need to listen and learn from kids. 可知这篇文章是主张不能总是认为孩子是幼稚的，有时成年人应该倾听孩子的话，向孩子学习，选B

Recently I understood the true meaning of love. That would have been, Kane, a boy. Kane was the two-year-old son of Joline, my new neighbor, who moved here from California.
Kane was born with hard sticks for . And on that morning I the effect that Kane’s physical had on his family. But I also witnessed so much that.
I saw an extraordinary family that embraced this special child, a family that wouldn"t allow Kane to know he was . Joline had constructed a small cart just a few inches the floor for his son to get around. Using his hands to move about, the cart Kane to “go to” any place just as else was able to do. Kane was more than just a member of the family, he was the .
Much later in my life, I came to that God had sent this child to help some of us who just weren’t getting what was all about. Even with my limited capacity for understanding at that time I knew that Kane was a developed spirit with great wisdom.
Kane demanded attention, not because of his mobility challenges or other apparent shortcomings. In his mind, he had no or shortcomings. The truth is that he received because he was alive and real and had so much to offer.
Kane was and is lots of warm and powerful energy to us all so we might learn that ： Love surpasses all things. If you met this kid, you’d want him for a friend he was with so much to .

It seemed ridiculous．On a practical 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 place．
So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents．When our parents were our age，they’d got 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”(自大的), “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 necessarily 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.
小题1:When the author walked through her parents’ house，she _______.
| A．had no idea what she wanted from life |
| B．realized I should buy a house |
| C．started to think about her own life |
| D．wondered why her parents had settled down early |
| A．Their attitude toward responsibility． |
| B．Their ways of making their way to the top． |
| C．Their ways of gaining experience． |
| D．Their attitude towards high technology． |
| A．It’s better to take adult responsibility earlier． |
| B． It’s all right to try more before settling down． |
| C．It involves too much effort to rise vertically． |
| D．It’s ridiculous to call her generation “arrogant”. |
| A．The sudden realization of growing up. |
| B．Criticisms of the young generation. |
| C．A comparison between lifestyles of generations. |
| D．The factors that have changed the young generation. |
But since the baby"s arrival, the sisters have become distant. Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister "acts as if no one ever had a baby before."
Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister--and Sally doesn"t like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition don"t fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life.
In a study of the University of Cincinnati, 65 men and women between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives.
Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive--yet still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister can"t wait to tell me when I"ve put on weight. However, she"s a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she comes to dinner. Happily, despite these small failings, we have been an important resource for each other.
In between the very competitive and the generally supportive children lie those who say that no friendship should survive. Some brothers and sisters stay at arm"s length, but never give up competition completely. Why do these puzzling, unproductive, often painful relationships continue to exist?
小题1:When Joan"s son was born, Sally .
| A．felt very happy | B．felt not delighted | C．moved away | D．admired her a lot |
| A．It sometimes will disappear when they grow up. |
| B．It will never disappear throughout life. |
| C．It will improve their relationships when they grow up. |
| D．It will never harm their relationships when they grow up. |
| A．Because she wants the author to go on a diet. |
| B．Because she wants the author to stop calling her a bad cook. |
| C．Because she wants to make fun of the author"s weight. |
| D．Because she wants to be honest with the author. |
| A．live near each other, they still have competitions |
| B．live away from each other, they stop their competitions |
| C．live together, they often think of ending their competitions |
| D．live within a big family, they often try to end their competitions |
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a true friendship to . However, there can be disagreement in the need for each of us to think carefully about what kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, are considered very important, but we need to make it clear in our minds what kind of friendship we want. Are they to be close or at arm’s length? Do we want to ourselves or do we want to walk on surface(表面)? For some people, many friendships on the surface are enough and that’s all right. But at some point we need to make sure that our are the same as our friends’ expectations. The sharing of experiences including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to friendships. But it must be done slowly and only if there are signs of interest and action .
What are some of the of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships time. Another “main difficulty” is the selfishness to think one “ ” the other, including his time and attention. , friendships require actions in return. In other words, you must give as as you take. Finally, there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die .
