Ⅴ. 阅读理解

I’m usually fairl y skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years
ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientificall y. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
Considering that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation.
At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face- to-face relationshi ps, and they will get more sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news. Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it
d oesn’t hav
e to ruin your life.
1. According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago .
A. probably suffered less from anxiety
B. were considered less individualistic
C. were less isolated physically
D. were probably less self-centered
2. What does the author mean by saying “we can’t turn the clock back” in the third paragraph?
A. It’s impossible to forget the past.
B. The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten.
C. It’s impossibl e to slow down the pace of change.
D. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
3. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people s state of mind are .
A. illogical
B. confusing
C. surprising
D. questionable
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. To children, anxiety is completely avoidable.
B. TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world.
C. Exercise does not help to lesson children’s anxiety.
D. Sometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little.
5. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is .
A. to lower their expectations for them
B. to set a good model for them to follow
C. to get them more involved socially
D. to improve them with a safer environment

One possible version:
Dear Li Hua,
Every student in our school as well as in your school will be faced with the question when he passes the College Entrance Examinations. What should he choose first? A good major or a good university? Some students prefer to choose majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them to take their favorite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believe that good universities have better teachers and better conditions. The graduates from leading universities are more likely to find a good job. In my opinion, the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best. Doing whatever we are fond of will benefit us. It will lead to our great achievements.
Yours truly,
Liu Wei
