21、 Andrea Yoch loves her adult sons, but would also love to not live with them. This is especially true in the 2, 200-square-foot rental in St. Paul, where she and her husband moved after the boys left their childhood home (a 5,000-square-foot property with a pool). But now Ben, 20, and Ryan, 23 are crammed with their parents in a house where a movie playing in one room can be heard in almost any other.
After her sons showed up due to the lockdown after the Coronavirus crisis struck- Ben from Boston, where he is a college student, and Ryan from New York, where he was starting out as an assistant advertising account executive- Ms. Yoch rushed to set up temporary offices in a bedroom and a basement that now also functions as a super crowded gym. "I would give anything for them to restart their lives, "she said.
As the pandemic （流 行 病） continues, Wall Street bankers, Uber drivers, academics, artists and many other adults have given up their independent lives and migrated home. Some fled heavily populated cities for the rural suburban houses where they grew up and the promise of home-cooked meals and free laundry. Others ended up in downsized spaces designed for empty nesters or in apartments already shared with other family members, such as grandparents or teenage siblings.
Parents caught by the increase of layoffs and canceled contracts found themselves feeding grown children who were in the same position. Mothers who had grown accustomed to freedom were suddenly expected to go back to cooking and cleaning.
“Some parents see this as a welcome surprise, but it can also add a lot of financial stress," said Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at the investment bank Stifel. You can't assume that parents are necessarily in a better-off position than their adult children: a lot of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and don’t have enough savings to accommodate extra people living in their households.”
【1】Which word best describes Ms. Yoch's life with her two sons?
A.Exciting B.Inconvenient
C.Satisfying D.Disappointing
【2】What does the underlined phrase "empty nesters" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.People without jobs.
B.Children staying abroad.
C.Grown-ups with no houses.
D.Parents with no children around.
【3】Why do some parents unwillingly welcome their children back home?
A.Because they want their kids to be independent.
B.Because they don’t like to do all the laundry.
C.Because they are in no better financial situation.
D.Because they have sold or rented out their houses
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.The generation gap between parents and their children.
B.The life young people used to live before going to college.
C.The parents' life being affected by children in the lockdown
D.The economic crisis brought about by the deadly coronavirus.

23、 Abdul, 54-year-old man, has been working as a living statue for over three decades, standing perfectly still for six hours a day and resisting people’s attempts to make him move or smile, anything that proves he is a living person.
Known as “India’s Statue Man,” he has been performing his daily routine ever since 1985, soon after getting a job as a security guard. His boss had recently traveled to the UK, where he was so impressed by the statue-like members of the Royal Guard outside Buckingham Palace that he felt like doing something similar back home. So he had his guards receive three months of training, where they would sit perfectly motionless for around four hours. They weren’t allowed to talk or smile, eat, drink, or even shoo away a fly if it sat on their faces. In the end, Abdul proved the best of the group, so he got the strange job.
Abdul isn’t the only person in the world acting as a living statue but what makes him special is the fact that he can do it for as long as six hours without even blinking his eyes. Once, a $155 prize was put up for anyone who can make him move a muscle. But try as they might, no one has ever succeeded. Actually, Abdul tries to move about as much as he can in his spare time, and only eats healthy home-cooked food, to keep his body in shape. In the 32 years, Abdul has become a celebrity in India and other Asian countries. Many Bollywood celebrities have come to witness this living statue and try to finally make him move, but none has succeeded.
Abdul earns about 10,000 rupees ($156) a month, which is enough to support his family, but definitely not enough to encourage his children to follow in his footsteps. It’s just too stressful and taxing on the body. “Despite all the hardships and health problems, I love my job and I am thankful to people for the love and respect they have showered on me.” he says. “When the time comes, I want to die playing a statue.”
【1】What is Abdul’s daily routine?
A．Performing as a living statue.
B．Proving to be a living person.
C．Smiling at his customers.
D．Keeping his body in shape.
【2】Why could Abdul get the strange job given by his boss?
A．He had his special ambition.
B．He was most familiar with the job.
C．He stood out among the group.
D．He knew the boss more than others.
【3】How does Abdul feel about his job according to the text?
A．It’s overpaid.
B．It’s satisfying.
C．It’s encouraging.
D．It’s instructive.
