A
Many times things may sound joking. Every kid wishes to be an adult and to be mature(成熟的). Do you remember playing houses as a child pretending 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” (kid + adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyl e 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(靠垫) on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory (饰物). Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, even an edition of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover came out in Britain. 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 value their childhood and hold on to pure, childlike emotion may be needed in such a rough(辛苦) and dry society,” said a professor in a Korean Univ ersity. He added that kidult culture might fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.
Tim Greenhalgh, a professor in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They cling to (舍不得放弃) childhood because 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 look for an escape from increasingl y complex(复杂的) and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said.
( ) 36. We can learn from the passage that kidults are ________.
A. children who can't wait to grow up
B. grown-ups who hold on to childlike emotion
C. people who enjoy playing games
D. young people who pretended to be adults when young
( ) 37. According to the passage, kidults would like to do the following but
________.
A. buy Hello Kitty mobile phone accessories
B. read a children's book on the subway
C. form a gap between themselves and their children
D. collect toys they once played with
( ) 38. In the opinion of the professor in a Korean University, kidults are ________.
A. immature and weak
B. necessary to our society
C. looked down upon
D. becoming more and more experienced
( )39. The main cause of the kidult culture lies in the fact that ________ according to Tim Greenhalgh.
A. some companies are taking advantage of it
B. modern life is stressful and hard
C. some people like to stay young and energetic
D. some people wish to bridge the generation gap
B
Matt Mason has seen the future-and it's fun. Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning. He shows a hard floor cleaning system that's built into the wall: it will blow dirt to a part of the room where it will be collected by a vacuum (吸尘器). Then the system will drop some cleaner on the floor and an arm will mop (用拖把擦) it up. "This may trouble you," says Kara, an expert in Mason's company. "But you can program it to come on at 3 a. m., and it will just wet-mop the floor for you."
When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce Beihoff, another expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax. "More than just fun, future kitchens will be environmentally friendly," he says. "A new system will be built in the house which can recycle energy lost from your kitchen to make the whole home warm."
"The fridge will be the center of the home," says Daniel Lee, a market expert. The fridge will have a touch screen where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your e-mail, keep a shopping list and order vegetables. "Your fridge is the first place you go in the morning and the last place at night," says Lee.
Ever wonder why a 1.9-meter man and a 1.6-meter woman have to cook meals on counters (工作台) of the same height. "The height was decided over 50 years ago, according to the height of ordinary women," says Jane Langmuir, an expert of cooking machines. "But times have changed. We have made a new counter where you press a button and it moves to whatever height you want." At the same time, Ted Selker at MIT's Counter lab has made the Dishmaker which lets you make dishes and bowls out of plastics at home. After each meal, the dishes are changed straight back into plastics.

The Internet has got into all the fields of our life. We can study and work on it. We can find a job on it. We can communicate on it. We can treat friends on it. We can buy and sell on it. We can do almost everything on the Internet, and almost anywhere at any time.
However, although the Internet provides services for us, it is silently getting our privacy(隐私) to some degree. The services on most websites require our personal information. If we want to enjoy these services, we have to provide much of our information, including our names, sex, addresses, telephone numbers and sometimes bank accounts. Because weak network sometimes is unsafe, our information might be open, stolen or sold. Even sometimes it will be used freely by others.

First, when you need Internet service, you should always look through those big legal websites. Second, if the service requires important personal information, you should think twice before you type it in. Third, store your own important card key(密钥卡) and don’t tell others easily.

You may have seen a talking parrot on a TV show, in a movie, or even in someone’s home. The parrot has learned to copy sounds that people make. Birds are not the only animals that can copy the noises they hear. Dolphins, bats, and some apes also copy sounds. Now we can add elephants to this list of copycats.
Dr. Joyce Poole is a zoologist. She studies the sounds of elephants. While she was in Kenya, she would hear strange noises made by Mlaika after sunset. Mlaika was a 10-year-old African elephant.
Mlaika lived near a highway. Dr. Po ole says, “I could not tell the difference between Mlaika’s call and the distant truck noise.” She and other scientists studied Mlaika’s sounds. It turned out that Mlaika was copying the sounds of the trucks driving by. Why would Mlaika copy trucks that she heard going by on the highway? Animals that are able to copy sounds may enjoy practicing new sounds. When they are kept outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds. That may be why an elephant would copy the sound of a truck.
“Mlaika was not the only copycat elephant,” Dr. Poole says. Calimero is a 23-year-old male African elephant. He spent 18 years with two female Asian elephants. Asian elephants make chirping sounds (sounds made by birds) to talk with one another. African elephants usually do not make chirping sounds. But Calimero now does. He is copying his Asian elephant friends. Dr. Poole says that elephants need to form bonds with their family and friends. She says, “They make sounds to communicate with each other. When they a re separated, they use sounds to keep in contact.”
Parrots, dolphins, humans, and elephants show that being a copycat is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.
( ) 48. According to the passage, what does Mlaika copy?
A. The sound of people.
B. The sound of trucks.
C. The sound of Calimero.
D. The sound of birds.
( ) 49. Why is Calimero mentioned in the passage?
A. To clarify the meaning of copycat elephants.
B. To show the cleverness of African elephants.
C. To add another example of copycat elephants.
D. To introduce a special life skill of Asian elephants.
( ) 50. From paragraph 4, we can know ________.
A. how long it takes for an elephant to learn a new sound
B. why the African elephant can make chirping sounds
C. why the Asian elephants make noises after sunset
D. how Asian and African elephants are alike
( ) 51. According to the passage, why do some animals like to be copycats?
A. To keep in touch with nature.
B. To please people and other animals.
C. To make new friends and keep old ones.
