I couldnt help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked: “So, how have you been?” And the boywho could not have been more than seven or eight years oldreplied, “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”, that is, in low sprits, until we were in high school.Undoubtedly 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 certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development is based not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role 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（揭示）machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are 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.56According to the author, feeling depressed is _ Aa sure sign of a mental problem in a child Ba mental state present in all humans, including children Csomething that cannot be avoided in childrens mental development Dsomething hardly to be expected in a young child 57Traditionally, a child is supposed to leam about the adult world . Athrough connection with society Bgradually and under guidance Cnaturally without being taught Dthrough watching television58According to the author, that todays children seem adultlike results from _. Athe widespread influence of television Bthe poor arrangement of teaching content Cthe fast pace of human scientific development Dthe rising standard of living 59What does the author think of communication through print for children? AIt enables children to gain, more social information BIt develops childrens interest in reading and writing CIt helps children to read and write well DIt can control what children are to learn60What does the author think of the change in todays children? AHe feels their adultlike behavior is so funny BHe thinks the change worthy of note CHe considers it a rapid development DHe seems to be upset about itBBobby Moresco grew up in New Yorks Hells Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattans West SideBut Hells Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teenBeing stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partnersFearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminalNot an actor Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks eastHe studied acting, turned out for all the cattle callsand during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000I wasnt a good actor, but r had a driving need to do something different with my life he saysHe moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartenderMy father said, Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and a daughter But Moresco kept working at his chosen craftThen in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killingMoresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony （遗产） of Hells KitchenHalf-Deserted Streets, based on his brothers killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplayHis reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to HollywoodBy 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended himHaggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it downThey kept pitching （竭力推销） it Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in moden AmericaMoresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money and sold his houseHe and Haggis kept pushingAt last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too littleMoresco delayed his salaryCrash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical successIt was nominated for six Academy Awards and won threeBest Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing （Original Screenplay） by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hells KitchenAt age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight successIf you have something you want to do in life, dont think about the problems, he says, think about other ways to get it done61Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order: aHis work Half-Deserted Streets drew attention as it opened at a small Off-Broadway theater bUnexpectedly Crash became both a hit and a huge success cHe moved to Hollywood to be a taxi driver and a waiter dHe started to learn acting in spite of hardness with the belief of doing something different eHis younger brother Thomas was killed in conflict among bullies Ad;c;e;a;b Bd;e;c;b;a Cc;d;e;a;b Dc;e;d;b;a62Why Bobby Moresco did not tell anyone that he started taking lessons at age 17?

AThe Road to Success BTry It a Different Way CA Talented manMoresco DMorescos PerseveranceCImagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotiona world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hateTry to imagine the consequences of such a transformationPeople might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficialThey could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishmentsSociety would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and supportHuman relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection （喜爱） among companions, or bonds （关系） among members of groupsSocietys economic underpinnings （支柱） would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive（刺激，动机） to workIn fact, there would be no incentives of any kind, for as we will see, incentives imply a capacity （能力） to enjoy themIn such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptationEmotions structure the world for us in important waysAs individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotionsTrue, we consider the length, shape, size or texture, but an objects physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to ushurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyfulWe also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall societyOut of our emotional experience with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are good and others are bad, and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social lifefrom what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep p
