Bri tain’s David Emerson, co-author of the book, The Only Child, says that such a person bears terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. Emerson knows from experience: After his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable(易受攻击的) to house breakers, to a new one with more security. “The move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that I pushed her into it, ” he says. “After all, I am left with that responsibility. ”In the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. With working mothers increasing, many families are finding they simply don’t have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. As only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the charge made against them is unjust. 【文章大意】本文主要讲述了独生子女在社会生活中所遇到的种种困难和各种挑战, 他们要面对社会对独生子女的诸多偏见。

Every major scientific discovery began with someone __6__ (imagine) the world differently from the way others saw it. And this is __7__ creativity is all about. And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imagination, we all have the potential to imagine the world in __8__ absolutely new way. In fact, you are born __9__ it.

创造力是天生的才华,还是后天也可以获得?本文就这一话题展开了讨论。
1.to feel 考查非谓语动词。
我们感觉似乎某些人天生具有创造力。
seem to do sth.“似乎要做某事”。
2.it 考查代词。
创造力是天生的才华,还是后天也可以习得的?这里用it指代creativity。
3.be acquired 考查被动语态。
先行词something和acquire之间是被动关系,又因为情态动词can后要用动词原形,故此空填be acquired。
4.carefully 考查词性转换。
也许如果我们仔细分析创造的过程,我们就会洞察到什么是创造力,它是如何在我们的生活中起作用的。
这里用副词修饰动词analyze。
