How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child--- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
小题1:What is the happiest person according to the passage?
A.A child who can do whatever he likes.
B.An old person who lives in a comfortable life.
C.A grown-up who no longer expects other to pay for him.
D.A person who never wastes his time in his whole life.
小题2:What pains does a child have?
A.He has few responsibilities to make life difficult.
B.He doesn’t have to do anything in return.
C.He is not so free to do what he wishes to do.
D.He has to work if he wants to live comfortably.
小题3:Which of the following is true, according to the second paragraph?
A.Life for a child is fairly easy.
B.A child is always loved whatever he does.
C.If much is given to a child, he must do something in return.
D.Only children are interested in life.
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Life is not enjoyable since each age had some pains.
B.Young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard.
C.Childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life.
D.One is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.
小题5:What will the fourth paragraph most probably discuss following this passage?
A.Examples of successful young men.
B.How to build up one’s position in society.
C.Joys and pains of old people.
D.What to do when one has problems in life.

You either have it, or you don’t-a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to(与……有联系) the way you are facing.
If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree-something easy to recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
Simplify(简化) the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as towerblocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
Now you will never get lost again!
小题1:Children have the ability to find the way around when they are ______ years old.
A.5B.6 C.7D.8
小题2:Which of the following things cannot be used as landmarks?
A.Tower blocks.B.Hills.C.Wells.D.Bikes.
小题3:What does the underlined word “emphasize” mean in the passage?
A.To give special importance to something.
B.To express thanks for somebody.
C.To understand or become aware of a fact.
D.To admire somebody.
小题4:Scientists believe that __________.
A.some babies are born with a sense of direction
B.people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C.people never lose their sense of direction
D.everybody has a sense of direction from birth
小题5:What may be the best title of the passage?
A.A research on direction.
B.A sense of direction.
C.People’s ability of finding the way.
D.Scientists’ research on skills.
