When we were leaving, I even felt a little 4because I thought about all the places I was going to seethe strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The first four years in America taught me the 5of optimism (乐观), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost. I had to study in three schools and spent most of my time learning the English language. I hardly had any time for 6.

Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask people the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.Now I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often get helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If someone asks me the way somewhere, I will say, Sorry, I am new here.Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didnt want to keep him waiting.When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions.

Do you remember playing houses as a child and pretending to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become kidults (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is usual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory (饰物). Other kidults still enjoy childrens stories and fairy tales. For example, even an edition of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover came out in Britain. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a childrens book!Kidults Can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, childlike emotion (情感) may be needed in such a rough and dry society, said a professor in a Korean university. He added that kidult culture might fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.Tim Greenhalgh, a professor in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They cling to (舍不得放弃) childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.So, they look for an escape (逃离) from the increasingly complex and stressful lives that are hard to deal with, Greenhalgh said.（1）We can learn from the passage that kidults are _. A . children who cant wait to grow upB . grown-ups who hold on to childlike emotionC . people who enjoy playing sportsD . children who like collecting toys（2）According to the passage, kidults would like to do the following EXCEPT _.

A . immature (不成熟的) and weakB . necessary to our societyC . looked down uponD . becoming more experienced（4）What does the underlined word complex in the last paragraph mean in Chinese?
