A while ago my family and I went sledding. As I watched my children climbing up the slope, I started  36 .

    Many people are  37  that most of today’s social problems are because of the “me ” generation; youngsters are just out for  38  and pay no attention to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything  39  there is something in it for them.

    Yet, while sledding, I saw a  40  side to youngsters. I watched my two oldest children  41  my youngest by the hand to help her up the slippery slope each time they  42 . They would have been faster  43  her, but not once did they try to  44  her without helping.

    Don’t get me wrong; these children  45  fight among themselves and, on occasion,  46  horribly. But I can take them  47  and know that they won’t ask for anything; I can talk to them about hurricane victims and know that they will  48  to donate some of their own money.

    Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to  49  for many social problems ― not the youngsters who want everything, but the  50  in their lives who have taught them to selfishly think only of themselves. Most adults have been  51  at sometime or another. In this case, they are really cold towards others.  52 , many pass it down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!

Most young children want to help. We can  53  that feeling to continue into adulthood by teaching the  54  my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with  55  of bruises（受傷）, but we can all make it to the top if we remember to help those who need it.

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年黑龍江哈爾濱第六中學(xué)高二下期中考試英語卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

One day, Mr. Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads; they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead, they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.
He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily available. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:
“And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?”
Mr. Arnold didn’t know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?
“We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, “The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. It’s the same with everyone: when there’s no more forest left the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out the fishermen move on. That’s what the nomads did, isn’t it ?
The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.
The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said “I am not a nomad!”
And , from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.
And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.
【小題1】From Paragraph 2, we can know that______ .

A．people got tired of living in the same place
B．people gradually got used to living in cities
C．people tended to settle down after learning farming
D．people spent a long time in learning to keep animals
【小題2】In the teacher’s opinion, Lucy’s argument was______
A．shockingB．ridiculousC．puzzlingD．reasonable
【小題3】Which of the following agrees with the message “I am not a nomad” (Paragraph 7)?
A．People eat young fish for its delicious taste.
B．Foresters leave the place where wood is not available.
C．Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.
D．People use recycled materials as much as possible.
【小題4】The writer tries to make us believe that ______.
A．mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling about
B．it’s unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled way
C．it’s quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankind
D．in the beginning men were nomads.
