29、ers. Read the passage and then answer the questions. It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that

30、 they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much certain problems – and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also

31、forget how they themselves felt when young. Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and so

32、ciety of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste. Sometimes you are resis

33、tant, and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But un that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking

34、 at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were complete under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself. If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, espec

35、ially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do. 1. The author is primarily addressing ___. A. parents of teenagers B. newspaper rea

36、ders C. those who give advice to teenagers D. teenagers 2. The first paragraph is mainly about ___. A. the teenagers’ criticism of their parents B. misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents C. the dominance of the parents over their children D. the teenagers’ ability to deal wit

37、h crises 3. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they ___. A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste C. have no other pay to enjoy themselves better D. want to irritate their parents 4. T

38、eenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they ___. A. have already been accepted into the adult world B. feel that they are superior in a small way to the adult C. are not likely to win over the adults D. have a desire to be independent 5. To improve parent-chi

39、ld relationships, teenagers are advised to be ___. A. obedient B. responsible C. co-operative D. independent Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, bu

40、t in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either Man will abolish war. Or war will abolish Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater th

41、reat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contest of force, in which the victory goes to the side whi

42、ch is most skilful in killing people, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted. There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a

43、big error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements which are, at best doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are will to go to war in support of them. The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely

44、 such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide

45、whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between Man and the atom bomb. 6. What change does
