26、 Teens are now less likely to do part time jobs,drink alcohol or go out without their parents than their counterpart 10 or 20 years ago.This generation of teens is delaying the responsibilities and pleasures of adulthood.Some people think that today's teens are more virtuous(品行端正的） and responsible.Others have suggested that today's teens aren't working because they are simply lazy.
To figure out what's really going on,we should look at these trends with"life history theory" taken into consideration.A"fast life method"was the more common parenting approach in the mid-20th century,when fewer labor-saving devices were available and the average woman had four children.The parents needed to focus on day to day survival.As a result,kids needed to care for themselves sooner.A"slow life method"on the other hand is more common in times and places where families have fewer children and spend more time on each child's growth and development.When the average family has two children,preparing for college can begin as early as primary schools.The two methods are adaptations to a particular cultural background,so each isn't naturally"good"or"bad".
Delaying exposure to alcohol,then,could make young adults less prepared to deal with drinking in college.One study found teens who rapidly increased there binge-drinking(酗酒） were more at risk of alcohol dependence than those who learned to drink over a longer period of time.The same might be true of teens who don't work,drive or go out much in high school. College administrators describe students who can't do anything without calling their parents. Employers worry that more young employees lack the ability to work independently.
However,the"slow-life method"is also likely beneficial as teens are spending more time developing socially and emotionally before they drive,drink alcohol and work for pay.The key is to make sure that teens eventually get the opportunity to develop the skills they will need as adults: independence,along with social and decision making skills.For parents,this might mean pushing their teenagers out of the house more.
【1】According to the text,teens in the past were more____.
A.reliable B.outgoing
C.intelligent D.independent
【2】What plays a vital role in the trend of teens growing up more slowly?
A.Social standard
B.Cultural changes
C.Educational development.
D.Methods of education
【3】What does the author advise parents to do?
A.Spend less time in accompanying their children.
B..Force their children to leave home at an early age.
C.Encourage their children to take part in social activities.
D.Help their children to get to adulthood as soon as possible.
【4】Which of the following can be the best tile for the text?
A.How teens develop skills they need in future
B.Teens take no responsibility for what they do
C.Why today's teens aren't in any hurry to grow up
D.Nowadays teens can't make decisions by themselves
27、 Managing a popular tourist attraction can be kind of like throwing a party — everyone wants to come and have fun, but nobody wants to help clean up when it's over. But the Faroe Islands have come up with a creative way to take care of their home and welcome visitors at the same time.
An official notice on the islands' national tourism website reads "closed for maintenance (维护), open for voluntourism.”Following a successful plan this year, the country has made the decision to "close” its major tourism sights and attractions during the weekend of April 16-17, 2020. Hotels will be open, and flights will continue. That weekend, people all over the Faroe Islands will be working on environmental protection projects.
However, people who are just dying to visit the Faroe Islands during that weekend can sign on to help with the housekeeping. The islands are looking for 100 volunteers to come to the country to help with the caretaking efforts. There were thousands of applications for the 2019 plan, so would-be islanders better apply fast.
"For us, tourism is not all about numbers, " Director at Visit Faroe Islands told CNN Travel earlier this year." We welcome visitors to the islands each year, but we also have a responsibility to our community and to our beautiful environment, and our aim is to protect the islands, ensuring responsible growth." The first group of voluntourists included travelers from Mexico, Israel, Australia, China and the United States. The director said that because of the surprising popularity of the volunteering weekend in 2019, the Faroes will host the event yearly. According to the Faroes' tourism authority, visits to the country have increased by 10% over the past few years.
【1】Who can visit the Faroe Islands on April 16-17, 2020?

【2】Why do the Faroes host the yearly event?

B.The Faroe Islands are likely to hold a party yearly.
C.The plan has made some difference in recent years.
D.Some tourism sights and attractions are closed for all.

28、 When you’ve finished your studies at school and college, do you feel like a well-earned rest? If you’re about to take up a course at university, you’ll want to recharge your batteries and have some fun. But how long should you do that for? 【1】
A year off—also called a gap year—is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university. 【2】 But there’s now a focus on making the most of this break from academic life. Long gone are the days of just hanging out on a beach or traveling abroad. 【3】 Doing something productive is exactly what students are being encouraged to do because doing more purposeful things helps them acquire skills to use when competing for a place at university.
【4】 A student, Tom, told the BBC “it would have been too expensive and it’s not something that I would have been able to rely on my parents or family members for.” But some experts say that it needn’t burn a hole in your pocket. You don’t need to travel far and you can even earn money by doing paid work.
For those who do have the funds, a combination of working, volunteering and travelling is undoubtedly an amazing opportunity. 【5】 It also gives you time to think whether university is right for you.
A.It’s not a new idea.
B.It is important to have fun.
C.Now the idea of taking a year off seems to be the thing to do.
D.There’s a common thought that gap years are only for rich students
E.A gap year is now more about gaining skills that will help you in later life.
F.It increases confidence and independence and gives you a chance to learn new skills.
G.While the benefits of taking a gap year are clear, some students worry they can’t afford it.
29、 In 1945, there was a young boy of 14 in a concentration camp (集中营). He was tall, thin but had a bright smile. Every day, a young girl came by on the other side of the fence. She noticed the boy and asked him if he spoke Polish, and he said yes. She said he’d looked hungry, and he said he was. She then reached in her pocket and gave him her apple. He thanked her and she went on her way. The next day, she came by again, bringing with her another apple which she gave him. Each day, she walked by the outside of the fence, hoping to see him, and when she did, she happily handed him an apple in exchange for conversation.
One day, he told her not to come by anymore. He told her he was being shipped to another concentration camp. As he walked away with tears streaming down his face, he wondered if he’d ever see her again. She was the only kind soul he’d seen acro ss the fence.
He made it out of the concentration camp, and immigrated to America. In 1957, his friends had fixed him up on a blind date . He had no idea who the woman was. He picked her up, and during dinner began talking of Poland and the concentration camp. She said she was in Poland at that tim e. She said she used to talk to a boy and gave him apples daily. He asked if this boy was tall, skinny and if he had told her that she shouldn’t come back because he was leaving. She said yes.
It was her, the young girl who came by every day to give him apples. After 12 years, after the war and in another country, they had met again. What are the odds? He proposed to her on that very night and told her he’d never again let her go. They are still happily married today.
