24、① Many people believe that toys are mainly made for kids. When we grow up, we should put away such childish things.

②But now many grown-ups are getting them out again.

③ According to data from the market research firm NPD Group, toys bought by people over the age of 12 account for 23 percent of the European market. Among them, adults are still the main force. In 2019, Beijing’s Toy Show attracted tens of thousands of visitors, including many grown-ups.

④But why are adults interested in these seemingly “childish” things?

⑤Toys can “bring back happy childhood memories”, noted website SWNS Digital. Many adults are under a lot of pressure at home and at work. Items that they were familiar with in childhood can remind them of easier times.

⑥Rob Willner, 25, is one such person who finds solace in items from the past. At his home in London, he keeps two boxes of loose childhood Lego tucked away under a bed, as well as various large “sentimental” models on shelves in his house.

⑦When he comes home after a hard day, he often plays with the toys. “It reminds me of the playful side of life, but also helps me to keep perspective. Lego isn’t great, but it’s fun, and helps you to think about what’s really important,” he told The Telegraph.

⑧ There is another reason for the rise in popularity of toys among adults. This pastime offers pressure-free creativity. Even hobbies such as baking and painting can be shadowed by the worry that the results will fail to please other people. Dressing up a doll or playing with a model train set doesn’t come with a lot of pressure to please others.

⑨ It seems that adults are no longer taking their childhood freedom for granted. After all, just as UK artist David Hockney said, “Play is serious.”

【1】Why are toys popular among adults according to website SWNS Digital?

A．They don’t want to grow up at all.

B．Playing helps develop and improve social sill.

C．They want to get along well with their kids.

D．Toys can bring back positive memories.

【2】How does Rob Willner benefit from playing with toys after work?

A．It makes him more creative at work.

B．It helps him realize important things in life.

C．It makes him think more about the past.

D．It helps him connect with other people.

【3】What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about?

A．The rising pressure to please others that adults face.

B．How playing with toys can increase creativity at work.

C．Another reason why adults love to play with toys.

D．The reason why young people don’t cook nowadays.

【4】The best title for the passage may be ________.

A．Remaining a Kid at Heart

B．Let’s Put Away Childish Toys

C．How to Go Back to Childhood

D．Adults Are Under Lots of Pressure
