Every summer, no matter how urgent work schedule is, I take off one day exclusively for my
son. We call it dad-son day. This year our third stop was the amusement panic, where we discovered
that he was tall enough to ride one of the fastest roller coasters (过山车)in the world. We experienced through face-stretching turns and circles for ninety seconds. Then, as we stepped off the ride, in a calm voice, he remarked that it was not as exciting as other rides he’d been on. As I listened, I began to sense something seriously out of balance.
Throughout the season, I noticed similar events all around me. Parents found it hard to find new stimulations for cold kids. Surrounded by ever-greater stimulation, their young feces were looking disappointed and bored
Facing their children’s complaints of "nothing to do", parents were spending large numbers of dollars for various forms of entertainment In many cases the money seemed to do little more than buy relief from the terrible complaint of their bored children. This set me thinking the obvious question: "How can it be so hard for kids to find something to do when there’s been such a range of stimulating entertainment available to them?"
What really worries me is the strength of the stimulation. I watch my little daughter’s &ce as she absorbs bloody special effects in movies.
Why do children facing such excitement seem starved for more? Thai was, I realized, the point I discovered during my own adolescence that what creates excitement is not going fast, but going faster. Excitement has less to do with speed than changes in speed.
I am concerned about the increasing effect of years at these levels of feverish activity. It is no mystery to me why many teenagers appear uninterested and burned out, with a "been there, done that" air of indifference toward much of life. As increasing numbers of friends’ children are advised to take medicine to deal with inattentiveness at school or anti-depressants (抗抑郁药)to help with the loss of interest and joy in their lives—I question the role of kids’ boredom in some of the diagnoses (处方).
My own work is focused on the chemical imbalances and biological factors related to behavioral and emotional disorders. These are complex problems. Yet I’ve been reflecting more and more on how lie pace of life and the strength of stimulation may be contributing to the rising rates of psychological problems among children and adolescents in our society.
【小题1】The reason why the author felt surprised in the amusement park was that ________.

A.his son was not as excited by the roller coasters ride as expected

D.his son could keep his balance so well on the fast moving roller coasters

科目:高中英语 来源:广东省同步题 题型:阅读理解

阅读理解
请阅读下列应用文和相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。
以下是旅游景点的信息:
     A. Agra Fort
     Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands the important 16thcentury Mughal monument known as
the Red Fort of Agra. This powerful fortress of red sandstone encompasses, within its 2.5 kmlong
enclosure walls, the imperial city of the Mughal rulers. It comprises many fairy tale palaces, such as the
Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal, built by Shah Jahan; audience halls, such as the DiwaniKhas; and
two very beautiful mosques.
     B. Taj Mahal
     Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some western historians have
noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed. The Taj is the most beautiful monument
built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. It was
constructed over a period of twentytwo years, employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed
in 1648 CE at a cost of 32 million Rupees.
     C. Keoladeo National Park
     This former duckhunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the major wintering areas for large
numbers of aquatic birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China and Siberia. Some 364 species of
birds, including the rare Siberian crane, have been recorded in the park.
     D. Humayun's Tomb, Delhi
     This tomb, built in 1570, is of particular cultural significance as it was the first gardentomb on the
Indian subcontinent. It inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating in the construction
of the Taj Mahal. The gardens also contain the redandwhite sandstone and blackandyellow marble tomb
of Humayun's wife and the tomb of Humayun's barber.
     E. Grand Canyon National Park
     The Grand Canyon is perhaps the most awesome sight in the United States-and one of the wonders
of the world. Much of the park's beauty is related to its geology and ecology. The Skywalk at Grand
Canyon West is really exciting.
     F. Sundarbans National Park
     The Sundarbans covers 10,000 sq. km of land and water (more than half of it in India, the rest in
Bangladesh) in the Ganges delta. It contains the world's largest area of mangrove forests. A number of
rare or endangered species live in the park, including tigers, aquatic mammals, birds and reptiles.
请阅读以下旅游者的信息,然后匹配旅游者和他/她拟旅游的景点。
1. Carina is fond of art and likes traveling very much. In order to take part in the following exhibition,
she wants to take some photos of birds from all over the world, especially the rare Siberian crane. In
the meanwhile, she doesn't want to spend too much money.
2. Daisy's major is biology. She is interested in studies of tigers in India. Before graduation, she needs
to write an essay on the tiger. She hears that it is one of the largest tiger populations of any of India's
parks. And so she wants to go there to do some research.
3. Alexander is a college student of Physics. He learns that this canyon is a gift from past generations
that goes beyond what we experience. He is looking forward to going there and experiencing the
Skywalk in the park.
4. Sammy majors in history. He will visit it again this summer. He says it's built entirely of white Marble
and is one of the eight wonders of the world. Its beauty is beyond description, particularly at dawn and
sunset. It seems to glow in the light of the full moon. On a foggy morning, the visitors experience it as if
suspended when viewed from across the Jamuna River.
5. Nancy comes from the history department. Last summer she visited the ancient markets of Agra and
this year she wants to visit it again. Not long ago she said, “Arriving at the Delhi airport, we
representatives were warmly received. Our tiredness flew in seconds by the traditional welcome that
we got at the hotel's reception.” The next day they visited the famous tomb.
