Forever Young

　　It's Girls Night Out: Mom Edition, and I'm a player in a whole new game. It occurs to me that I really don't know these　1　women. We've been circling　2　for about three years, ever since our kids started　3　.We'd bump into each other in the parking　4　,at Valentine's Day parties, and later as one or the other shyly　5　we all sign our kids up for softball, gymnastics or dance. Who knows　6　the five of us clumped together more than　7　of us clumped with other mothers. I suppose it happens　8　,friendship circles spiraling in and around and about and anew.

This is the　9　time we've gathered without the kids, and I am having a　10　time saying “Janice”, as opposed to “Zoe's mom” or “Susan”,　11　 “Kaitlin's mom”, and so I have decided, for tonight, not to　12　any names at all.

The　13　has already taken our drink order. I can't believe nobody　14　beer. Nope, this is a Diet Coke and iced tea crowd.  In the back of my mind I'm　15　if I'm going to be the naughty　16　who corrupts this group.

There is so much　17　to take care of when you are just getting to　18　people as people. One of the things we are doing is　19　dates, the years that each of us　20　from this or that. I see where this is going.

What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技術(shù)). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today’s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.

In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(細胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs ( The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.)

It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.

1.According to the passage, human death IS now mainly caused by____.

A. diseases and aging       B. accidents and war

C. accidents and aging      D. heart disease and war

2.In the author’s opinion, today’s most important advance in technology lies in____.

A. medicine    B. the Internet    C. brain cells      D. human organ

3.Humans may live longer in the future because_____.

A. heart disease will be far away from us

B. human brains can decide the final death

C. the basic materials of cells will last forever

D. human organs can be repaired by new medicine

4.We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. human life will not last more than 120 years in the future

B. humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells now

C. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life

D. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells

5.What will people in 2113 mainly die of /from?

A. Aging   B. Accidents  C. Cancer  D. Heart disease

A

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. 

In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the dilemma. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

1.Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?

A．Both can continue for generations.

B．Both are about where to draw the line.

C．Neither has any clear winner.

D．Neither can be put to an end.

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.

B．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.

C．The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.

D．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.

3.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.

A．give orders to the other                  B．know more than the other

C．gain respect from the other               D．get the other to behave properly

4.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A．Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.

B．Examples of the parent-teen war.

C．Solutions for the parent-teen problems.

D．Future of the parent-teen relationship.

5.Where do you think this passage can be found?

A．In a report.                            B．In a letter.

C．In a novel.                             D．In a textbook.
