Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. Whats more, life is always giving new things to the child- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.30 .

What is the main idea of the passage?ALife is not enjoyable since each age had some pains.BYoung men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard.CChildhood is the most enjoyable time in ones life.DOne is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.34 .

This process can become easier if you set goals (目标). However, if your goals are too dfficult, you will probably become upset.Many English learners set unreasonable goals, such as sounding like a native speaker (母语使用者), or losing their accents (口音 ). The goal of sounding like a native speaker is not easy for many people.When English learners begin studying English after a certain age, they are not able to sound exactly like a native speaker. Thats the opinion of Eli Hinkel, a professor at Seattle Pacific University. She says that people who have not reached puberty (青春期) still have enough muscle (肌肉) and brain plasticity (可塑性)to allow their brain to control their mouth muscles. After your physical growth has stopped, the brain loses some of its ability to change the way it controls the muscles of the mouth. This is what results in an accent, according to Hinkel.Having an accent does not mean that your language skills are poor or you should give up improving your pronunciation. Hinkel suggests English learners should not be too upset about their accents.Another teacher says sounding like a native speaker is not necessary. Marla Yoshida is a teacher at the University of California, Irvine. She says that improving your pronunciation is surely possibleif you choose a reasonable goal. Marla Yoshida says that when you decide to diet, you may succeed if you set reasonable goals. She suggests working on certain areas of pronunciation that you can improve, instead of trying to sound like a native speaker.35 . What does the underlined part“unreasonable goals”probably refer to？AGoals that are meaningless.BGoals that are too small.CGoals that are interestingDGoals that are impossible to reach.36 . Why are English learners unable to sound like a native speaker?AThey have no native speakers to talk to.BThey dont have enough time to practice.CTheir brain cant control their mouth muscles.DTheir mother language stops them from doing so.37 . Which of the following statements would Eli Hinkel probably agree with?AHaving an accent is acceptableBImproving pronunciation isnt that important.CSounding like a native speaker is impossible.DPoor pronunciation means poor language skills.38 . What does the passage mainly want to show?ALearning English well isnt as easy as we think.BWe should try our best to sound like a native speakerCEveryone can learn English well if he/she tries hard.DWe can improve our pronunciation by setting reasonable goals.四、语法填空Basketball is a popular sport with teens because its not39 . .You only need a basketball and a net.
