【解析】这篇短文介绍青少年引领时尚的趋势，每次出现新东西，青少年的关注坚持一段时间就会成为一种时尚。
【1】考查反身代词。句意：他们想要找到一些能让他们自我感觉良好的东西。句中feel good about ___1___(them)是宾补，因此feel的逻辑主语是句子宾语them，该空是about的宾语，和逻辑主语一致，就应该用反身代词作宾语。故填themselves.
【2】考查形容词。句意：如果它能在较长时间内坚持下去，它就会成为一种趋势。该句是和前半句的for a little while进行对比，所以此处用比较级。故填longer.
【3】考查形容词。句意：许多时尚是无害的。此处做句子的表语，根据句意可知应该用形容词作表语，表示“无害的”。故填harmless.
【4】考查动词。句意：回到我的时代，人们把袖子和领子剪下来，然后把它们穿在外面。根据时间状语“Back in my day”可知该句应该用一般过去时，该空需要句子的谓语，wear的过去式为wore。故填wore.
【5】考查冠词。句意：今天，每个人都拥有一个iPad，并在手机上给朋友发短信。该句中iPad是句子宾语，是单数可数名词，此处是泛指，前面应该用不定冠词，读音是以元音开头，应该用an.故填an.
【6】考查连词。句意：这些潮流要么会随着新技术的发展而消失，要么会成为一种潮流，并在一段时间内保持流行。either…or…是固定短语，译为“或者…或者…”。故填or.
【7】考查副词。句意：虽然对青少年时尚的关注有时会让家长们感到疲惫，尤其是对于那些刚刚起步的青少年家长来说，这是一项值得付出的努力。根据句意可知，此处用副词especially表示“尤其”。故填especially.
【8】考查动词。句意：虽然对青少年时尚的关注有时会让家长们感到疲惫，尤其是对于那些刚刚起步的青少年家长来说，这是一项值得付出的努力。get started表示状态，表示“刚刚起步的”。故填started.
【9】考查连词。句意：虽然你不能选择和选择你的青少年会选择的流行趋势或趋势，但这并不意味着你不能增加你的观点，并将时尚作为一个可教的时刻。根据句意可知，上下句之间转折关系，后半句没有but，前半句用表示“虽然”的although/though/while.故填Although/Though/While.
【10】考查介词。句意：虽然你不能选择和选择你的青少年会选择的流行趋势或趋势，但这并不意味着你不能增加你的观点，并将时尚作为一个可教的时刻。根据句意可知，此处用as表示“作为”之意，后跟名词。故填as.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I'd hitch a ride (搭便车).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn't give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the kindness I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven't changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn't remember where I'd met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

【题目】It used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan—a character from James Matthew Barrie's 1911 book—said:“All children,except one,grow up.”【1】
According to the NPD Group,a US market research company,sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016,three times the pace of the children's toy market itself.These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets（乐高积木）to vehicle models and action figures.And more than half of the sales came from millennials—people born between the 1980s and 2000s.“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,”commented website Koreaboo.【2】According to Frederique Tutt,all analyst at NPD,the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today's fast-paced world.【3】“It reminds me of the playful side of life,”Rob Willner,a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK,told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego,which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment.
【4】To Frank Furendi,a professor at the University of Kent in The UK,the fact that so many adults are pursuing "the thrills of youth" is the evidence that "adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore",he told The New York Times."That's actually quite sad."
【5】According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane,collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality."It's just pop culture stuff.It's stuff that says,I like a little of this and I like a little of that,"he told ABC,News."It's no big deal."So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan,perhaps it's time to introduce a new "fact",as stated in the tagline of the UK fashion brand KIDULT:"Growing old is mandatory（强制性的）,but growing up is optional."
A.But scientists are probably just worrying too much.
B.Why do these kidults turn to toys for pleasure and comfort?
C.This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as "kidults".
D.They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by,say, getting a promotion,which is far less easy to achieve.
E.The scientists are concerned that those kidults show roo much individuality.
F.But this "fact" doesn't seem to apply to today's world anymore.
G.Despite this,some social scientists see the trend as disturbing.
