Text comprehension

I. Decide which of the following best states the author’s purpose of writing.

C

From the last sentence of the second paragraph and second sentence in the last paragraph, we can see that it is not the writer’s purpose to deny the virtues of being young. She hopes to point out some of the “distinct advantages” and “a great deal of happiness to be found” in the process of aging. So A is not correct. B only touches part of the text，namely the first two paragraphs.

II. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.

1. F. Refer to Paragraph 3. They were much concerned with their appearances, both the shape of

their bodies and the fashion of their clothes.

2.The writer mentions three aspects to show distinct advantages of growing older，i.e.1ess

concern of one’s appearance(Para. 3), less uncertainty about the unknowns in the future(Para.

4)and self-identity(Para. 5).

3.The writer says, “when you are young，major decisions await you at every turn.” This

suggests that they feel uncertain about what would happen to them and what they would do in the future. ( Para. 4)

4.The writer presents the distinct difference between the adolescents and the forty-year-olds by

repeated use of “Being young means...”or “It means (i)

contrast with “I…now…” or “I no longer…”. ( Para. 5)

5.The writer learns th e significance from her parents’ contentment that the newer (younger) is

not necessarily better, and she can be happier than before as she grows older. ( Para. 6)

大学体验英语综合教程2第二版课后答案unit2大学体验英语综合教程2第二版课后答案unit2(Passage A) Bathtub Battleships from Ivorydale American mothers have long believed that when it comes to washing out the mouths of naughty children, nothing beats Ivory Soap (a registered trademark of the Proctor Gamble Company). This is because its reputation for being safe, mild, and pure is as solid and spotless as the marble of the Lincoln Memorial. It doesnt even taste all that bad. And should you drop it into a tubful of cloudy, child-colored water, not to worry - it floats. Ivory Soap is an American institution, about as widely recognized as the Washington Monument and far more well respected than Congress. It had already attained this noble status when Theodore Roosevelt was still a rough-riding cowboy in North Dakota. Introduced in 1879 as an inexpensive white soap intended to rival the quality of imported soaps, it was mass marketed by means of one of the first nationwide advertising campaigns. People were told that Ivory was "so pure that it floats," and the notion took hold. As a result, at least half a dozen generations of Americans have gotten themselves clean with Ivory. So many hands, faces, and baby bottoms have been washed with Ivory that their numbers beat the imagination. Not even Proctor Gamble knows how many billions of bars of Ivory have been sold. The company keeps a precise count, however, of the billions of dollars it earns. Annual sales of Ivory Soap, Ivory Snow, Crest toothpaste, Folgers coffee, and the
