         Parents should stop blaming themselves because there's not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager
    problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and
    helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
         I've seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right
    from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman.
    I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no
    attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick
    glance at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don't know what to do with him these days," she said.
         "He's forgotten all the manners we taught him." He hasn't forgotten them. He's just decided that he's not
    going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from
    the sofa onto the floor.
         Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare
    at me and say, "I don't like your dress; it's ugly." One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school.
    The other has left home.
         "Where did we go wrong?" their parents are now very sad. Probably no one is to blame on this issue.
    1. This text is most probably written by _____.
    [     ]
    A. a specialist in teenager studies
    B. a headmaster of a middle school
    C. a parent with teenage children
    D. a doctor for mental health problems
    2. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to _____.
    [     ]
    A. the change from good to bad that's seen in a child
    B. the way that parents often blame themselves
    C. the opinion that a child has of his parents
    D. the advice that parents want their children to follow
    3. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters _____.
    [     ]
    A. pay no attention to them
    B. are too busy to look after them
    C. have come to hate them
    D. feel helpless to do much about them
    4. What is the writer's opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?
    [     ]
    A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
    B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change.
    C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.
    D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.

    　　Modcm inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly．Motor-cars cover a bundred miles in little more than an hour．Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed．Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending．Every ycar motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts(吹嘘)of saving preeious seconds in handling tasks．

    　　All this saves timc, but at a prick．When we lose or gain half a day in speeding aeross the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so．We get the uncomfoerable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel tlru they have been left bebind in anot ar nine zoors Again pending too long at compulers resul's in painti ninrts and fingers．Mobile phones also to dange according to some seientists; too much uss may thesmit h bul radiation into our brains, a we do not like to think about．

    　　Howave, what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not or so it seems．We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time．Pcrhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imavination take us into another world．

    　　There was a time when some people's lives were devotcd simply to the cultivation of the land or the eare of eattle．No multi-tasking there; their lives wenl on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern．There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this．Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed;：they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone．Modem machinery has freed peope fre that primitive existcnee．

    Years of storms had taken their toll on the old windmill（风车）. Its wheel, rusted and fallen, lay silent in the lush bluegrass.
    　　I hadn‘t walked across our old farm in fifteen years. Fifteen years ago，rain or shine, I used to walk this path each day to see Greta. She always made me smile, even after my sister and I had just had a big quarrel. I would help Greta with her chores. Then we would enjoy her delicious homemade chocolate cookies and ice cream. Being confined to a wheel chair didn‘t stop Greta from being a great cook.
    　　Greta gave me two of the greatest gifts I‘ve ever received. First, she taught me how to read. She also taught me that when I forgave Sister for our quarrels, it meant I wouldn‘t keep feeling like a victim(受害者). Instead, I would feel sunny.
    　　Mr. Dinking, the local banker, tried to foreclose on Greta‘s house and land after her husband passed away. Thanks to Pa and Uncle Johan, Greta got to keep everything. Pa said that it was the least he could do for someone talented enough to teach me to read!
    　　Soon folks were coming from miles around to buy Greta‘s homemade cakes, pies, breads, cookies, cider, and ice cream. Greta even had me take a big apple pie to Mr. Dinking who became one of her best customers and friends. That‘s just what Greta was.  She could turn anyone into a friend!
    　　Greta always said, "Dear, keep walking in sunshine!" No matter how terrible my day started, I always felt sunny walking home from Greta‘s house---even beneath the winter starlight.
    　　I arrived at Greta‘s house today just after sunset. An ambulance had stopped a few feet from her door, its red lights flashing. When I ran into the old house, Greta recognized me right away.
    　　She smiled at me with her unforgettable twinkling blue eyes. She was almost out of breath when she reached out and softly touched my arm. Her last words to me were "Dear, keep walking in sunshine!"
