23、 Have you heard of the term “tweenager”? It’s a slang word (個语) used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old.
Nowadays, more and more companies are beginning to create products and services for tweenagers. The Disney company sells music and film to tweenagers and their parents. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. It’s all about sales, which suggests that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’re ever had before.
Most kids in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Parents have more money to give their kids than previously, since parents are having fewer children. In addition, the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to, so many parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. It’s a bad habit for both parents and kids to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children.
UK kids today are very media-and-computer literate (受过教育的). A lot of kids have a TV, if not a computer, in their bedrooms. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well, since 24% of UK kids live in single parent families, so people now say that “kids are getting older younger”. With such maturity (成熟) at such a young age, it’s no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents and have more freedom than previous generations.
UK tweenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes. That’s changed. Now, they are much more fashion aware and concerned about their image. Many tweenagers outgrow the bright colours and fashions of their tweenage years and go for something darker and more rebellious (反抗的).
Surely none of the above is a good thing. The UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from definitely marketing their products and services at children.
【1】Why are more products and services created for tweenagers?
A.Because children education is becoming more important.
B.Because they are more affordable to tweenagers.
C.Because it is better to study music from an early age.
D.Because more companies are creating products and services.
【2】What does the underlined word “compensate” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Keep company. B.Reward. C.Make up. D.Motivate.
【3】How do UK tweenagers today differ from previous generations?
A.They have less effect on their parents.
B.They are more worried about their careers.
C.They have fewer life experiences.
D.They know more about the world.
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To teach a new word “tweenager”.
B.To introduce a new phenomenon (现象).
C.To urge parents to care about their kids.
D.To blame today’s young people.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Charlie was a rich boy who had more toys than you could imagine. His family had a lot of money, and whenever he liked something, they would buy it for him. In reality, then, he had no idea what things cost, and wouldn’t bother to take care of what he had. Nor did he realize how difficult it was for other children to get toys like the ones he had.
A time came, though, when he was so used to all his toys that he began to want something different. One of his uncles found a fine horse and he gave it to Charlie, as something unusual. Charlie was very excited at having a horse. He learned to ride, and was constantly on his horse, going here and there. However, he treated the horse just as badly as he treated all his other toys, and it soon started looking sick. For the first time in his life Charlie became truly worried. He loved the horse, and the fact that his family had offered to buy him a new one meant nothing to him.
One day, while in the countryside, he saw a little girl with a horse. The girl looked very poor, but the horse seemed happy and looked great. Wondering how she had managed this, Charlie secretly followed them, watching everything they did. First he followed them through the forest, where he saw that she never used the stick and never hit the horse. This was the opposite of what Charlie had done to his horse. Then they came to the stable (马厩), and as soon as they arrived the girl fed and watered the horse. Then she carefully cleaned it. Charlie was surprised. He’d never done any of those things for his horse. He saw that the girl spent a lot of time giving care and attention to her horse, and that she did it all on her own. This had never entered Charlie’s mind; he had always been too busy playing and having fun to look after the horse.
Paragraph 1:
Charlie wanted to change and become like the girl.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
As a result, Charlie gave up constantly asking for new toys.
