9、四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂 黑。ASeventy-three-year-old Gary selected his food in Value Mart more carefully thanNASA chose its candidates for the space shuttle. Skim milk was $2.99, on sale from $3.49; white bread, 89 cents with a discount; table salt, 99 cents, 20 cents off the regular price. Leaving the

10、 cashier （收专艮员），he estimated that he had saved 80 centstoday. He was pleased that he had got good value for his money again.At the exit, the cold wind reminded him of his gloves."Now where are they?"Not in the coat pockets. Not in the grocery bag either. The worried manmade a thorough sear

11、ch of all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. Nowhe was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.Old Gary had bought the black gloves at a 25% discount ten years ago. His quick decision to buy the expensive gloves turned out to be a good one, which even promoted his soci

12、al status on the bus, as poorer passengers stared at him enviously. Losing this favorite possession was almost like losing a child to him.Gary re-entered the store with long steps. He followed the same route he had walked before. There were all open passages and it did not take long to be convinced

13、that the gloves were not in sight.“ Society has changed, people have changed ” , he murmured to himself.“Yearsago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Not anymore!”On his way out, he went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves. She asked him what co

14、lor they were, and when he said“ black ” , there camea disappointing answer. He took his time now, finally walking out of the store.Back home, Gary was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do without a pair of gloves. He was very upset that people no longer returned things they found on the road.

15、After a month, Gary decided to buy another leather pair. Before boarding the subway, he stepped into Value Mart again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office.“ What color are they? ” the woman in the office askedagain. “ Black, ” he gave the same answer.

There are various ways in which children play, but one of the most important is role-pla

19、ying. This involves a child engaging in an activity during which he or she pretends to be another person.Experts on child development believe that role-playing can increase the connections in children s brains that help them learn. Language skills are some of the most important aspects of learning.

20、When children role-play, they must work out steps that need to be taken to complete a task, and create plans to act out a story.These activities enable children to develop their oral language skills. They become able to organize others and to give directions.Children s social skills can also be deve

21、loped. Whenengaged in group activities, children have different roles. Someare leaders while others are followers. At times, the children will disagree, so they must learn to negotiate and compromise with one another, and they must learn to apologize when they have strong arguments or disagreements

22、as well. Children further learn about cooperation and sharing and, hopefully, begin to understand things from another person s point of view.Besides helping children learn some kinds of skills, role-playing fosters children s imaginations and can therefore assume a numberof forms. For example,boys m

23、ay pretend to shave like their fathers or perform various tasks around their homes. Girls, meanwhile, often pretend to be mothers to do some daily tasks, particularly if it involves caring for young babies. Sometimes children may imagine belonging to a group of superheroes or imitate（ 模仿 ）real-life

24、situations. They might dress up and assume different roles. Another example is the performing of stories they read in books, which is also very common when they role-play.Another beneficial aspect of role-playing is that it can help children deal with certain actions that may cause them emotional（情感

25、的 ） pain, such as the fear theyface when going to school for the first time or making a visit to the doctor. If children role-play situations like these beforehand, the first that they experience when doing these actions in reality frequently lessons. For this reason, experts encourageparents to all

26、ow their children to role-play and even to take part in these activities to help their children master their fears.Role-playing can benefit children in many ways. There is no activity for whichyoung children are better prepared than fantasy play. Nothing is more dependable and risk-free, and the dan

27、gers are only pretend.24. From the author ' s des cription in Paragraph 4, we learn that children oftenA. act out the activities that their parents doB. perform daily tasks instead of their parentsC. involve daily-life activities in groupsD. change real-life situation when role-playing25. The au

29、s.A. ignore B. confirm C. overcome D. predictCAttitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driver

30、less cars, there doesn ' t seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they ' d like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.The fact that attitudes toward s

31、elf-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now and no one can get one yet but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.Actually, this isn t surprising. Where

32、as older gener ations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.This is especiall

33、y interesting whenyou consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeablebased on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interes

34、ted in driverless cars compared with those who have less education, 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.Where a person lives matters, too. More people who live in cities and suburbs said the

35、y wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.While there s reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going upacross the board, a person s age will have little to do with how self-driving carscan become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for s

36、ale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.27. What happens when a new technology appears?A. It often leads to great inventions in other related fields.B. It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole.C. It further widens the gap between the old and the young

37、.D. It usually draws different reactions from different age groups.28. What does the author say about the driverless car?A. It does not seem to create a generational divide.B. It will not necessarily reduce road accidents.C. It has given rise to unrealistic expectations.D. It may start a revolution

42、 before they become problems.Address problems when they're little. Is your roommate always forgetting her things for the shower, and taking yours? 33 Addressing things that annoy you while they're still little can help your roommate be aware of something she may not otherwise know. And addre

43、ssing little things is much easier than addressing them after they've become big.34Thismay seem simple, but it's probably one of the biggest reasons whyroommates experience conflict. Don't think he'll mind if you borrow his shoes for a quick soccer game? For all you know, you just st
