Are you married or not now ? D. Why are you putting on weight? B Every kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child — pretending(假装) to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become “kidults”. Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory. Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales. For example, the British publisher Bloomsbury even released an edition of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book.
“Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who love their childhood most and hold on to pure, child-like emotion(情感) may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.
He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap(代沟) between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.
“So, they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said. 54. Why does a kid wish to be an adult? A. Because he wants to be independent.
B. Because he doesn’t want to be controlled by adults. C. Because he wants to experience the real world.
D. Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead. 55. What can we infer from the passage? A. Some kidults refuse to grow up.
B. Some kidults in Britain like reading on the subway. C. Some kidults think childhood is the best time of their life. D. Some kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life 56. One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that ______. A. it can make adults face the real social life B. it can make our society young and full of life C. it can increase the sales of children’s books D. it can lead to harmonious(和谐的) relationship between adults and kids 57. Which of the following is the best title for the article? A. Kids or Grown-ups
B. Happy Childhood C. Fearful Adulthood D.Kidult Culture

As the father of a student, I have experienced first hand what a great teacher is. My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green. I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.
My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力缺损症) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he got straight As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their textbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to any phone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly. When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, she smiled, and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only pray that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years. 58. With the teacher’s help, the writer’s son ______.
A. became the best student in his class B. was interested in singing songs C. quickly finished his 4th grade lessons D. improved his grades greatly 59. Which of the following is NOT true about Miss Green? A. She regarded the students as members of a family. B. She had special ways to help students study. C. She was good at teaching football and music. D. She usually made a quick reply to parents’ emails. 60. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. Miss Green didn’t teach the writer’s son in the 5th grade B. Miss Green was the best teacher at the school C. all the students in the school liked Miss Green D. the writer’s son had many teachers like Miss Green 61. In the passage, the writer mainly tells us ______.
A. what his son studied at school B. his son once had a good teacher C. how to be a good and popular teacher D. a teacher who liked playing with students

Many years ago, when I was out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful. Years later, , I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership--a shop selling cars--was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom. \and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.

Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination(决心). A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In myopinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
[来源:]One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will hardly achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed（失望的） and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of reaching our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.
