American cities are similar to other cities around the world — American cities are changing, just as American society is changing. After World War Two, the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population in many Sun Belt cities increase. Los Angeles and Houston are cities where population shifts (转移) to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, city residents became wealthier. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs.
Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. Many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest. Many young professionals are moving back into the city. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there, or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.
This population shifting is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: many dying cities are alive again.
What does the author think of cities all over the world?
A. They are alive. B. They are hopeless. C. They are similar. D. They are different.
Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War Two? Because ______.
A. older American cities were disappearing B. they got richer and needed more space.
C. cities only provided them with apartments D. they could hardly afford to live in the city.
According to the 3rd paragraph, a great many poor people in American cities .
A. are faced with housing problems B. are forced to move to the suburbs
C. want to sell their buildings D. need more money for daily expenses
We can conclude from the text that .
A. American cities are changing for the worse
B. people have different views on American cities
C. many people are now moving from American cities
D. the population is decreasing in older American cities

While the factors driving the modern family are many and complex－from the explosion of technology to the influx(涌入) of mothers into the workforce－parental fear may be at the heart of today's rushed(匆忙的) approach to child－rearing(养育孩子), some experts say.
Parents fear everything from media exposure to violence to peer pressure, says Alan Mirabelli, executive director of Ottawa think tank. Perhaps most of all, there's the fear that their kids won't be equipped to compete in the future.
Some might argue that today's parents are micromanagers because, unlike those who raised families during the Depression and World War Ⅱ， they don't have enough real worries. But Mirabelli says it comes down to a different context and a different set of challenges.
He notes that while parents 25 or 30 years ago had the modest goals of providing their offspring with more than they had, the current driving force is the desperation to equip kids for a dog－eat－dog world.
They demand tougher schools, a heftier(容量更大的) curriculum and standardized testing to measure performance. Outside the school system, they fill in the gaps with tutoring, music lessons, art classes, gymnastics and hockey. For those who can't afford it,_there's the additional stress and fear that their kids don't stand a chance.
David Elkind, a renowned child psychologist and author of The Hurried Child, says hyper－parenting is a reaction to a world changing so fast and we have no idea how to prepare kids for it. Parents can't envision the society their kids will inhabit as adults, so they try to cover all the possibilities, cramming in as much as possible and operating on the principle that earlier is better. “This works against the notion of let children be children，”said David Elkind.
6. The biggest fear of parents is that their children________.
A. will change for the worse because of media influence
B. will get involved in violence
C. will fall behind in future competition
D. will compare themselves with peers

A. parents should equip their kids for a changing world
B. parents shouldn't worry too much about their children
C. parents shouldn't destroy the childhood of their children
D. it's better for parents to foresee the future society
8. We can conclude from the text that________.
A. children today can't enjoy a real childhood
B. children today are better equipped for the future
C. parents today actually have no real worries
D. parents today face more challenges actually
9. What would be the BEST title for the text?
A. Modern family is becoming complex
B. The harm of rushed approach to child－rearing
C. How to equip children for the future
D. The parents are worried, so the children are hurried
10. The underlined word “it” in the fifth paragraph probably refers to________.
A. the tough education
B. a good environment
C. a colourful after－school activity
D. a rich and happy life
