at the next table. i couldnt help overhearing parts of their conversation. at one point the woman asked, “so, how have you been?” and the boy - who could not have been more than seven or eight years old -replied, “frankly, ive been feeling a little depressed lately.” this incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. as far as i can remember, my friends and i didnt find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school. the evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. children dont seem childlike anymore. children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. children as they once were on longer exists. why? human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. in the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine has been installed in 98 percent of american homes. it is called television. television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures. communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. children must read simple books before they can read complex materials. 56. according to the author, feeling depressed is _. a. a sure sign of a psychological problem in childrens mental development b. something rarely expected in childrens mental development c. an inevitable thing in childrens mental development d. something usually experienced in childrens mental development 57. what does the underlined word innate in paragraph 4 mean ? a. something a person is born with b. something a person is tired of c. something a person is expected ofd. something a person is dreaming of 58. what of the following statement is not true according to the last paragraph? a. communication through print helps children develop their reading skills.b. communication through print helps children access more social information. c. communication through print helps children command a complex code of symbols.d. communication through print helps children read different materials at random. 59. what is the attitude of the author about todays children? a. he feels shocked by their premature behavior.b. he thinks it is a phenomenon unworthy of note. c. he considers it a positive social development.d. he seems to be concerned about the tendency.bmy old digital camera broke down, so i wanted to buy a new onebeing the cautious type, i fancied a reliable brandso i went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera storethere in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my listand it was on special offeroh joyi pointed at it and asked an assistant, can i have one of those? he looked perturbed（ 不安）do you want to try it first? he saidit didn t quite sound like a questiondo i need to? i replied, theres nothing wrong with it this made him look a bit offended and i started to feel badno, nobut you should try it, he said encouragingly, compare it with the othersi looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. with so many models to choose from, it seemed that i would have to spend hours weighing x against y, always trying to take z and possibly h into account at the same time. but when i had finished, i would still have only the same two certainties that i had entered the store with: first, soon after i carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what i paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new modelbut something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choicein the end, i agreed to try the model i had chosenthe assistant seemed a sincere manso i let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppersand when he started to introduce the special features, i interrupted to ask whether i needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as wellwhy do we think that new options still offer us anything new? perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine60the shop assistant insisted that the writer should _atrust him and stop asking questionsbtry the camera to see if there was anything wrong with itcget more information about different companies.d. compare the camera he had chosen with the others61what does the writer mean by it would be worth half what i paid for it（ paragraph 2）?ahe should get a 50% discountbthe price of the camera would soon fallc. the quality of the camera was not good.dthe price of the camera was unreasonably high62the writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he _aknew very little about itbwanted to make sure the one he chose would be the bestcdidn t trust the shop assistantdhad a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers63it can be inferred from the passage that in the writers opinion, _awe waste too much money on camerasbcameras have become an important part of our daily lifecwe don t actually need so many choices when buying a product dfamous companies care more about profit than qualitycwhile success is surely sweeter than failure, it seems failure is a far better teacher, and organizations that fail miserably often flourish (繁荣) more in the long run, according to a new study by vinit desai, assistant professor of management at the university of colorado denver business school. researchers have found that people missing their goals perform much better in the long run. that is because they gain more knowledge from their failures than their successes and the lessons are more likely to stay longer in their minds. “we found that the knowledge gained from success was often fleeting while knowledge from failure stuck around for years,” said professor desai, who led the study. “but companies often ignore failure. managers may fire people or turn over the whole workforce while they should treat the failure as a learning opportunity.” prof desai compared the flights of the space shuttle atlantis and the challenger. during the atlantis flight last year, a piece of insulation (绝缘体) broke off and damaged the left solid rocket booster (助推火箭) but didnt influence the program. there was little investigation. the challenger was launched next and another piece of insulation broke off. this time the shuttle and its sevenperson crew were destroyed. the disaster led to a major investigation resulting in 29 changes to prevent future disasters. the difference in response in the two cases came down to this: atlantis was considered a success and the challenger a failure. “despite crowded skies, airlines are extremely reliable,” he said. “the number of failures is extremely small. and past researches have shown that older airlines, those with more experience in failure, have a lower number of accidents.”prof desai doesnt recommend finding out failure in order to learn. instead, he advises organizations to analyze small failures to collect useful information rather than wait for major failures.64. why did experts pay little attention to the problem of atlantis?a. because it worked perfectly. b. because the right booster was still ok.c. because nothing serious happened then. d. because fewer people died in the flight. 65. fewer accidents happen to older airlines in that _.a. their planes couldnt fly high in the sky b. they gained much from experience in failure c. their planes were often checked
