10、is that theyre lazy. They expect work to be fun, and if it s not fun, they refuse to do it. Its true that emerging adults have high hopes for work. Ian, a 22-year-old, chose to go into journalism, even though he knew that: “If Im a journalist making $20,000 a year, my dad (a wealthy physician) makes
11、 vastly more than that. ”More important than the money was finding a job that he could enjoy. The great majority of rising adults spend most of their twenties in a series of dull and low-paying jobs as they search for something better. Its unfair to consider the many hard-working emerging adults wit
12、h a stereotype (刻板模式) that is true for only a small percentage of them. Another widespread slur against emerging adults is that they are selfish. Its probably true that most emerging adults today grow up with a higher level of self-respect than in previous generations. Their Baby Boomer parents keep
13、 telling them: Youre special! You can be whatever you want to be. Popular culture has communicated similar messages in movies, television shows and songs. But that doesnt mean theyre selfish. It simply means that they are highly confident in their abilities to make a good life for themselves. Oddly,
14、 these stereotypes continue even though there is persuasive evidence to the contrary. Rates of violent crime committed by young men have dropped. Not only have bad things gone down, but good things about this generation have gone up. Nearly 90 percent of American college freshmen reported doing volu
15、nteer work in the past year, the highest level ever. Furthermore, applications to post-college volunteer programs have reached record levels. Young Americans are also more tolerant and accepting of differences than older generations. The origins of the many prejudices against todays emerging adults
16、are complex(复杂的), but maybe one key reason is that many of their elders still use old yardsticks to measure their progress. The pace of social, economic and technological change over the past half-century has been quick, and what is normal among young people has changed so fast that the rest of soci
17、ety has not yet caught up. 21.Ian chose to be a journalist because _. A. he loved the job very much B. he followed his fathers advice C. journalists make big money D. its an interesting job 22. What does the underlined word “ slur ” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. A false conclusion. B. An unfair criticism.
18、 C. A wrong prediction. D. An unconfirmed statement. 23. We can infer from the last paragraph that elder people should _. A. stop using old views to judge young people B. think in a more complicated way C. recognize theyre behind the times D. believe that young people are normalBIt was the week befo
19、re Christmas, and the line at the post office snaked twice around the hall. It seemed that no one was moving. The office looked like an exhibit in the Postal Wax Museum. I came to the self-service machine where the line was much shorter. I dont like self-service. I tell people its because I dont app
20、rove of taking jobs away from people, but the real problem is that Im no good at it. The machine always asks me something I don t know the answer to. I hate this. I am a retired letter carrier, and we moved mail the old-fashioned way: hand to hand, human to human. We were fast, friendly, and frequen
21、tly accurate(精确的). The woman in the front of the line was clicking away at the screen. And the clicks were surprisingly loud. Any signs of hesitation on her part were telegraphed to the whole lobby. I felt sorry for her: The machine could smell fear. The next person took a long time, too. I breathed
22、 deeply. By the time it was my turn, I had the heart rate of a yogi (瑜伽修行者). Under the weight of concern from the people in line behind me, I felt a growing duty to minimize the seconds between clicks. Finally it was time to slide in a credit card. The machine didn t take it. “Try putting it in the
23、other way,” the gentleman behind me suggested. No good. “Ive got a different card,” I said, and fished around for that one, beginning to sweat. The machine wanted a PIN, but not the one I suggested.“Start over,” I clicked, intending to try the first card again. Oh no. I had to start all over again.
24、“Im sorry,” I said, looking back, sheepish. “I guess I dont know what Im doing. You all go ahead.” “Dont give up, ”said the nice man behind me. “Try it again. Were all friends here, right?” Smiles were blooming (绽放) all down the line. I tried again, clicked with deliberation and sincerity, and intro
25、duced my credit card as though I were presenting it to the queen. Finally, I made it! I couldnt have been happier. Everyone burst into applause. Comfort and joy! 24.What do we know about the post office? A. It was pretty large. B. Something went wrong there. C. It was very busy at Christmas. D. Effi

27、 27.What did the man behind the author do? A. He rushed the author. B. He laughed at the author. C. He mailed for the author. D. He encouraged the author. C A UK college has started teaching students the Danish concept of hygge said to make homes nicer and people happier. But what exactly is it? Sit
28、ting by the fire on a cold night, while petting a dog probably surrounded by candles. That s definitely “hygge”. Eating home-made cakes. Watching TV under a warm quilt. Tea served in a china set. Family get-togethers at Christmas. Theyre all hygge too. The Danish word, pronounced “hoo-ga”, is usuall
29、y translated into English as “cosiness”. But its much more than that it is an entire attitude to life that makes Denmark one of the worlds happiest countries. Morley College, in central London, is teaching students how to achieve hygge as part of its Danish language course. “We have long, cold winte
30、rs in Denmark,” says lecturer Susanne Nilsson. “That influences things. Hygge doesnt have to be a winter-only thing, but it isnt that fine for much of the year.” With up to 17 hours of darkness per day in winter, and average temperatures staying around 0, people spend more time indoors as a result,
31、says Nilsson, meaning theres greater focus on home entertaining. The idea is to feel as at-home as possible, forgetting lifes worries. “Hygge works best when theres not too large an empty space around the person or people,” Nilsson adds. The recent growth in Scandinavian-themed restaurants, cafes an
32、d bars in the UK is helping to export hygge, Nilsson says. Most customers wont have heard of the term, but they might get a sense of it. Similarly, in the US, the wallpaper and fabric firm Hygge & West aims to channel the concept through its cheery designs, as does a Los Angeles bakery, called Hygge
33、, which sells traditional Danish cakes and treats. Hygge is a deep-rooted tradition in Danes life. Helen Russell, author of The Year of Living Danishly: Uncovering the Secrets of the World s Happiest Country, says, “Hygge is so important for those who live Danishly that the other day, I saw a camper
34、 car parked by the roadside with lit candles in the windows.” 28.Which can be used to explain the concept of hygge? A. It means success. B. It is a way to relax. C. It requires a large room. D.

To introduce a traditional Danish lifestyle. DIts not surprising that movie theaters forbid outside food: Theaters mus
37、t share their income from ticket sales with film distributors and studios, while snacks and sodas have a high profit. Snacks and sodas werent always part of the viewing experience. In the early days of cinema, theater owners discouraged snack intake, feeling it didnt match the elegant(优雅的) atmospher
38、e they were trying to create.“ They had beautiful carpeting and didnt want anything like candy that could get stuck to it, ”explains Ross Melnick, cofounder of Cinema Treasures, a nonprofit devoted to saving the remaining movie palaces. Movie theaters began selling snacks to boost profits during the
39、 Depression, says Melnick. After the Second World War, when many moviegoers switched to TV instead, snacks became an even more important source of profit. As Richard McKenzie, an economics professor explains, different movie starting times ensure theres always a line for popcorn. Most people suffer
40、the high prices of food at the movies in silence, but after learning that outside food was forbidden and being denied entry to the sci-fi movie Cloverfield because of it, Adam Glennon, a postman in Stockport, England, last year staged a protest (抗议) in the street outside the theater, pressing free c
41、andy and pieces of price-comparison paper on passersby. Randy Cohen, a writer, argues that when a businesss rule is extremely unfair, its fine to disobey it, and that the high price of movie popcorn justifies bringing in your own picnic. I agree.

42、he sticker shock wouldnt be so bad. But the truth is, its often not fresh.
