seems always to return to the day when I met CarlThe city bus stopped at a corner to pick up the daily commuters(someone who travels regulady to and from work)，a group in which I was includedBoarding the bus，I looked for a place to sitAt last，I found a place near the back The occupant of the seat next to the one I was going for was an older man in a grey suit，well- worn dress shoes，and a black hat like I always pictured reporters wearing，but without the little press cardSeated myself，I began to read the book I had been carrying，which was Jack Kerouacs On the RoadThe man in the seat next to me introduced himself by asking if I had read any other book like the one I was holdingWhen I told him I had，seemed to become interested，and so did IHe introduced himself as Carl and asked if I liked jazz，and I told him that I didnt really listen to it，and that I liked rock and rollWaiting for Carl to tell me that I should listen to real music，I was shocked when he just smiled and noddedHe said，“You remind me of myself when I was your ageI remember how my parents hated jazz，how they couldnt see how I could listen to that awful noiseI bet your parents say the saine thing，dont they?”Now it was my turn to smile，amused with how fight he was As the bus ferried us from one side of the city to the other，Carl and I talked about a lot of different thingsThe more we talkedthe more amazed I became at how much the two of us really had in common，despite the age differenceI havent seen him since we parted，but the thought of our connection that day rarely leaves my mind Carl really made me think about how much we can learn from each other if we just break through the blocks between us weve gotI mean，I would have never thought before that day that I could have anything in common with someone so much older than I，just because of ageBut Carl taught me that no matter what，we are all just people，and that we should make all extra effort to try and get to know our neighbors and people we see every day，regardless of age，mce， religion，sex，or anything elseIf we all take the time to attempt to understand each other，I think that the world would be a much better place that we could share together，as humans60From the first paragraph we know that the author_ Adid not mind whether there was a seat or not Bhoped to have a seat when getting on the bus Cthought the bus was overcrowded Dlooked for a seat but failed61The author usually imagined a reporter as one who_ Aliked jazz music Benjoyed talking with others Cliked reading Jack Kerouacs works Dusually wore a black hat and press card62After talking with Carl，the author realized that_ Aolder people were nice to talk to Bhe should have known Carl earlier Chis parents were so different from Carl in listening to music Dage was not necessarily a problem in heart-to-heart communication63It can be inferred from the passage that_ Athe author hasht seen the old man since then Bjazz music used to be more popular than rock and roll Cthe author was not satisfied with human relationships in the world DCarl made the author realize how much people could learn from each otherC In Canada and the United States，there is a new group of children called“satellite kids”， who live in one place but whose parents live in another place Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever beforeMost Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the WestIn Asia，especially in China，Japan，and Korea，it is difficult to go to universitySudents must first pass the strict national examinationHowever，in Canada and the United States,it is easy to go to university，and anyone who wants to go can goAs a result，Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university The problem is that when Asians arrive，they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the EastAlso，they find that they are very lonely, and thatthey miss their homesBecause of these two reasons,most Asian parents decide to go back to work whiie their children study in the WestTherefore，these children become“satellite kids”and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a“satellite kid” Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the“satelite kid”problemBecause these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of themthey are often absent from schoolTo be a“satellite kid”means to grow up in a country here you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English wellAlso，it meallS to grow up lonely，because your parents are elsewhereWhat these“satellite kids”will probably say to their parents is that its better to have parents around than to have a urfiversity education.64Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because_ Athey hope their children may easily find a job there Bthe kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries CatI foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries Dthe kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends65“Satellite kids”refer to Aoian kids_ Awithout parentsBliving abroad alone Cwith university educationDspeaking no English66Some Asian immigrant children become“satellite kids”because their parents_ Awant to leave their own countryBwant them to go to university Creturn to their country to workDwant them to be independent67What is the main idea of the passage? AParents want better education for their kids BParents feel lonely and miss their families CCanadians and Americans begin to notice the“satellite kids”problem DKids in fore
