21、“I wish I didn’t have to go to school, Grandpa." complained Alex, throwing his bag on the ground and sitting m the bench beside him. "It's such a waste of time. I’d much prefer to be out working. I could be earning money already If started working now at a restaurant like Big Chicken, I’d be earing good wages as well as good tips and I’d be able to travel and see the world like you did!"
Grandpa smiled across at Alex and looked at him a moment. “It reminds me of a story I once heard-an old tale from China.”
"Long ago in China, there was a kite. Although it rose higher than all the other kites, it longed to go higher. It saw the clouds and the birds way above and hated not being able to go up there. In fact it scolded the string for holding it back. The string was not happy with this situation and thought it was unfair."
"One day, the wind was particularly strong. The kite went up rapidly as the string was let out quickly. “Aw, not again, string!" yelled the kite to the string. 'Stop holding me back! Let me go higher this time! Let go of me!" The string let go and dropped towards the earth, no longer pulled up by the kite. Without the tension of the string holding it, the kite dropped quite quickly down. The kite was badly injured. Do you see the lesson in this for your situation?"
”YES! Thanks Grandpa! I understand now." exclaimed Alex. "What the story is actually saying is that sometimes you need constraint in order to reach your potential. Sometimes it's the things you think are holding you back that are actually mostly responsible for your growth. The string is to finish school and the kite is my future potential being realized. And the wind is my education lifting me higher and higher."
Grandpa smiled back. "Exactly, Alex. Well done. I am proud of you, young man.

24、Generation gap, a story that defines every parent and child!
Nowadays we all talk of generation gap; the older generation is often heard criticizing the present generation, and the younger generation hardly bothers to give ears to what’s been taught. And all they blame at the end is “generation gap”. But what causes the gap on earth?
Difference in thinking: Whether it is about eating out, planning a holiday, choosing an entertainment source or for that matter selecting one’s clothing type, there is a huge difference that exists in the thinking of parents and kids. While parents still stick to the age old belief, the kids on the other hand swear by the latest technology.
The lifestyle: Parents support the deeply rooted traditional culture, while kids leave no chance of rebelling against the age old traditions and customs. They want to live life on their own terms and the slightest of interference from parents will make them feel insecure about their freedom. Society, morals and ethics often appear to them as threat to their free life.
Parental expectation: This is something where only the parents are responsible. Often we find parents trying to live their unfulfilled dreams through their kids, which apparently makes life a burden, hard enough for the kids to handle. Too much of expectations from parents often lead the kids to rebel when they fail to live up to them.
Lack of communication: Last but not the least, lack of proper communication is the main reason of generation gap. Communication is not just talking or asking about your child’s daily routine or the demanding of something from you. Communication is more about sharing your thoughts, ideas and at the same time trying to acknowledge and listening what others say.
【1】What will happen to the kids if their parents stick to the age old belief?
A．Trusting modern technology.
B．Rebelling against their belief.
C．Giving ears to what’s been taught.
D．Communicating with them patiently.
【2】What makes the kids feel unsafe about their freedom according to the text?
A．Parents’ habits.
B．Parents’ interference
C．Parents’ choices.
D．Parents’ support.
【3】What mainly causes the generation gap?
A．Difference in thinking.
B．The lifestyle.
C．Parental expectation.
D．Lack of communication.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My dad, George, only had an eighth grade education. A quiet man, he didn’t understand my world of school activities. From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.
I didn’t really understand his world either: He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I would surpass (超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced my trombone (长号).
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb’s-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn’t sure how much it would amount to.
At home, my dad said, “A job’s a big step to growing up. I’m glad you will be contributing to the household.” My dad’s words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn’t interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.
