13、s home, up from almost 50 percent since 1983. Once kept there by the love for their mamas home-cooked food, the economic crisis(经济危机) has seen a rise in adults left unable to hold down a steady job or afford a home of their own. Last year, an Italian government minister said that his mother washed h

14、is clothes and made the bed for him until he was 30. He demanded a law forcing young Italians to leave their parents home at 18 to stop them becoming hopelessly dependent on their parents.In the UK，the government has made the term NEETS not in employment(就业), education or training for these children

15、. In England alone the percent of NEETS aged 19-24 surged to 18.8 percent of the age group in the last quarter of 2010, up 1.4 percent on the same period a year before.

20、ican adult children are causing trouble for their parents.D. It is a tradition for adult children to live with their parents in America.C One day after more than a month of classes, I read aloud a paragraph from my book, recognizing all of the characters except for one. I sat back and started to reg

21、ister the achievement: I was actually reading Chinese. The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed, Teacher Liao said, Budui! It meant, literally, Not correct. You could also translate it as no, wrong, nope, uh-uh. Clearly incorrect. There were many

22、Chinese words that I didnt know, but I knew that one well. A voice in my head whined: All of the rest of them were right; isnt that worth(值得) something? But for Teacher Liao it didnt work like that. If one character was wrong it was simply budui. Whats this word? I asked, pointing at the character I

23、 had missed. Zhe the zhe in Zhejiang. Third tone? Fourth tone. I breathed deeply and read again, and this time I did it perfectly. That was a victory I turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least I imagined them saying): How do you like me now? There seemed to be something cheerful in her e

24、yes, but she simply said, Read the next one. It was her way of teaching. Success was expected and failure criticized and immediately corrected. You were right or you were budui; there was no middle ground. I grew to hate budui. The bu was a rising tone and the dui dropped, like building my confidenc

25、e and then breaking down all at once. And it troubled me all the more because I knew that Teacher Liao was only telling the truth: everything I did with the language was budui. I was an adult, and as an adult I should be able to accept criticism where it was needed. But that wasnt the American way;

26、I wanted to be praised for my effort; I didnt mind criticism as long as it was candy-coated. In China, the single B on the report card matters much more than all the As that surround it. Keep working; you havent achieved anything yet. And so I studied. I was disappointed but I was also stubborn; I w

27、as determined to show Teacher Liao that I was dui.18. Which of the following can best replace whined in Paragraph 3?A. swept away. B. gave in. C. returned. D. complained.19. What did the writer expect from Teacher Liao after he tried again?A. Immediate correction. B. A new challenge.C. An encouragin

28、g response. D. A strict comment.20. How did the writer feel about the Chinese way of teaching?A. Candy-coated. B. Weakness-focused.C. Interest-driven. D. Criticism-absent.21. What can we infer from the text?A. The writer was struggling with Liaos teaching.B. The American way of teaching is better fo

29、r adults.C. The writer was not gifted in language learning.D. Teacher Liao was not friendly with her students.DThe widespread use of Internet technology has made our lives easier but causes a big challenge to senior citizens (长者), who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.

30、 Only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the advantages that new technologies offer. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 60 and above was 253.88 million in 2019, about 18.1% of Chinas population. But only 23% of the senior citizens were able to use the Inte

31、rnet. That means more than three-fourths of the elderly are deprived (被剥夺) of the digital benefits. Many senior citizens who cant use smartphones are facing difficulties during this pandemic (流行病)Even with a smartphone in hand and Internet available, many of them still feel helpless. They dont know

32、how to call a taxi through the apps. There have been reports of many shops turning away elders who dont know how to pay using smartphones, instead of letting them pay with cash. Worse still, as they dont know how to get the Internet-based health code (健康码), they are refused to enter many public places. Presenting individual
