The world keeps changing and it has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ, a wise man said,

11、 “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”There has always been a gap between generations, though more people talk about it now. The following shows what Old Mr. Ellis thinks generation gap means: young people and their parents dont understand each other.“

12、When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didnt have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a

13、lot, but it didnt seem to make much difference.“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didnt know when the war would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys.

18、e years ago, when he was sixty-eight, he retired. But a lot of people still come to ask him to look them over. Hes very busy in the daytime and he wants to have a good rest at night.Half a year ago a young man moved into the room upstairs. At first he was quiet. The old man was satisfied with him. B

19、ut now he has several friends. They often come to see him in the evening. They talk loudly, sing and dance. Mr. Anders is unhappy, but he seldom says anything about it.It was the young mans birthday yesterday. All his friends came at seven in the evening. They drank too much and made a lot of noise.

20、 The old man couldnt fall asleep the whole night. In the morning, as soon as he got up, he went upstairs and knocked at the door.

24、rs.Passage ThreeFor anyone who come to Hawaii, the people and the land always offer an endless gift of love and kindness.What are the beauties of Hawaii? Lets start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, naturally, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of

25、 miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. Most of them are covered with fine white sand. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing you would notice? They are volcanoes, of course. These volcanoes are not just a p

26、art of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the worlds most active volcano. Because Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest (but not the tallest) mountain in the w

27、orld.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldnt be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruit and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane and pineapples are Hawaiis biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a t

28、housand years and now Hawaii produces over one million tons of sugar a year. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other place in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who li

29、ve there. From its earliest days, Hawaii has had a peaceful history. The Polynesians who came to the islands about a thousand years ago believed that a stranger should be welcomed. They offered strangers food and comfort, and thought of them as brothers. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is

30、 because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the isl

31、ands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of _.A. one islandB. twenty islands.C. sixty-four islands.D. hundreds of islands.27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands?A. They erupt often.B.
