21、 When old people live with children and other relatives the relationship is not always a happy one. Even old parents and adult children who live separately can have difficulties. Here the generation gap becomes most visible as the needs and interests of the middle-aged and old diverge. Some middle-aged children are so annoyed by the demands of their parents that they make such comments as “Why don’t the old fools die?”
Although such ugly comments exist, a survey conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons reflects a positive attitude by American population towards the old. That survey showed that 69% adult children have weekly contact with their mothers and 20% have daily contact with their mothers. Other surveys have shown that 40% of adults have face-to face contact with their parents once a week.
The 2014 National Survey of Family and Household (NSFH) showed that 78% of adults view their relationship with their mother and father as excellent. Only 0.03% of those surveyed viewed that relationship as “bad”. The remainders were ambivalent in their perception of their parents. This finding is confirmed by much older studies of the same phenomenon also conducted by the National Survey of Families and Households.
Of those surveyed, 66% contacted their parents once a week or more and only 10% did not contact their parents at all. In part, this is a product of the distance at which adult children live from their parents. The 2014 survey showed that 67% of adult children live within 100 miles of their parents and that 38% live within ten miles of their parents. However, a full 20% of those surveyed live 1,000 miles or more away from their parents.
【1】According to the passage, the relationship between most American old people and their adult children is
______.
A. terrible and distant B. annoying and difficult
C. great and close D. neither good nor bad
【2】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “diverge” in paragraph 1?
A. differ B. meet C. exist D. transfer
【3】From the passage, we learn that ______.
A. generation gap becomes invisible if old parents and adult children live separately
B. relationship between parents and children has become much better than before
C. some old parents would rather die because their children are annoyed at them
D. living far away may lead to people’s less or no contact with their parents
22、 The world's first hydrogen-powered superyacht (超级游艇)could be taken to the waters in the not too distant future. Dutch yacht-design company Sinot has launched a model for a wonderful concept that seems to develop the superyacht industry in a more eco-friendly direction.
Created in cooperation with Lateral Naval Architects, Aqua measures 112 meters and will be powered entirely by liquid hydrogen and fuel-cell technology, which essentially means water will be its only emission. The superyacht, which has state-of-the-art facilities, is to operate at a top speed of 17 knots (节), with a range of 3, 750 nautical miles.
"For the development of Aqua, we combine inspiration from the lifestyle of a forward- looking owner and cutting-edge technology in the 112-meter superyacht, "Designer Sander Si-not said in a statement shortly before a detailed model of Aqua was revealed at the Monaco Yacht Show in September. He added, "Our challenge is to use fully operational liquid hydrogen and fuel cells in a true superyacht that is not only groundbreaking in technology, but also in aesthetics (美感)｡"
Aqua's technology system will rely on two 28-ton vacuum isolated tanks. The energy will then be submitted to the switchboard and distributed, in order to provide power for travelling and hotel services.
The outside and inside design for Aqua, which took developers five months to design, was almost as impressive as its technology system. Aqua will have a yoga space, a swimming platform and a beach deck close to the waterline.
While it's just a design concept at the moment and there are no exact plans to roll Aqua out, according to Sinot, the pioneering design clearly prefigures the superyachts of tomorrow. Earlier this year Latvia's Latitude Yachts announced plans for the Valkyrie Project, a massive superyacht that would span 229 meters, making it the largest in the world｡
【1】What is Aqua special about?
A.Its steaming distance.
B.Its hotel services.
C.Its energy materials.
D.Its modern facilities.
【2】What's the biggest difficulty of constructing Aqua?
A.Poor financial support from the government.
B.The technological problems of dealing with power.
C.The difficulty of designing its whole aesthetics.
D.Lack of resources to produce the components.
【3】What can be inferred about Aqua?
A.It will look like a real hotel.
B.It will be created in Dutch.
C.It will open a new era of superyacht.
D.It will be the largest in the world.
【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To advertise a superyacht.
B.To show a new technology.
C.To tell us a green travel style.
D.To introduce a superyacht model.

24、How to Prepare Houseplants for Fall
It would be easy to think that since houseplants live inside, they don't really experience seasons as their outdoor plants do.【1】However, it doesn't mean they don't know what's going on. They do. With that in mind, here is how to keep your plants happy when autumn comes.
【2】Check to be sure that they are not bringing any insects along with them. Examine both sides of leaves for insects, as well as the soil. Also, clear the top of the soil of dead leaves before taking them in.
Remove any dead or dying leaves. Find any yellowing or brown leaves.【3】For brown or yellowing leaves, you can just cut off the unhealthy part. To make a plant healthier, you can also trim（修剪）healthy leaves. Also, don't forget to save larger pieces to plant!
Be mindful of extreme temperatures. Hot or cold extremes can stress（使……紧张）plants out.【4】Make sure they are not by heaters. Similarly, make sure they are far from windows or doors that open to the outside.
Repot（移植）if needed. Spring is the best time to repot houseplants because that's when they begin to grow rapidly. But if any of your babies have had an active summer and are too small for their pot, now is a good time as well. Lift the plant out of the pot and check how the roots look.【5】
Be careful with watering. Over-watering is one of the most common houseplant mistakes. Unless you have especially thirsty species or a very dry home, wait at least a few days in between watering.
A．The plants under stress will die soon.
B．If they seem crowded, it is time to repot.
C．So be careful about where your plants are living.
D．Bring them in if they've been vacationing outside.
E．Pay attention to whether there are harmful insects.
