21、 Senior citizens are permitted to travel cheaply on a bus if they have a special card. Women may cards when they are sixty.
Mrs. Matthews lives in the country but she went into town once a week to buy food and other things for the house, and she usually went by bus. She always had to pay the full price for her ride.
Then she reached the age of sixty and got her senior citizen’s card, but when she used it for the first time on the bus, it made her feel very old.
The bus driver had often seen her traveling on the bus before, and he notices that she was feeling unhappy, so after she had paid her money, he winked (眨眼) at her and whispered, “Don’t forget to give your mother’s card back to her when you see her again.”
Mrs. Matthews was very happy when she heard this.

22、I’m usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation—brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community—and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
Considering that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation.
At the top of the list is nurturing a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games, movies and mobile phones; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn’t have to ruin your life.
【1】According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago________.
A.were probably less self-centered

【2】What does the author mean when he says, “we can’t turn the clock back” (Line 1 Para. 3)?

D.The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.
【3】The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is________.
A.to get them more involved in society
B.to set a good model for them to follow
C.to lower their expectations for the future
D.to provide them with a safer environment
【4】What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A.Children’s anxiety is not so serious as it seems.
B.Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.
C.Children’s anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.

Have a heater.
