六、阅读理解

My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watched it at night. She doesn't remember watching it in the morning or afternoon. When I was young we had only about 3 or 4 different channels. My brothers, my sisters and I would sometimes fight about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows.
Nowadays we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can't believe it! There are channels with old movies, cooking, fishing and so on. It's amazing! There is a channel for everything. I wonder how much my brothers, my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set. These days I notice families with 2 or 3 or more television sets in their homes. I guess it stops people from arguing over which channel to choose from.

Long long ago, there was a kingdom. It was ruled by a king who loved riddles. Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.
There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest bread. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine bread from one end of the kingdom to the other.
One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. "I will give a prize to the person who can solve my riddle," the king said. "Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest horses." He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard, "Make this line shorter without erasing(清除) any part of it," the king challenged.
People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and squinted at it. They even put their noses to the ground and scratched their heads.
"How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it " the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt (泥土) over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these efforts worked, and the people went home disappointed. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.
A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour (面粉).
"Your Majesty," the baker said to the king, "I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it." Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king's line. The line the baker made was longer than the king's line.
"Now, good king," the baker smiled, "your line is shorter."
The people were amazed. The king laughed and clapped his hands. "You have won the prize, I will give you a horse of your choice."
The baker was excited. Now he could sell his bread from one end of the kingdom to the other.
( )1.What was the baker's problem at the beginning of the story
A. He couldn't make fine bread.
B. He needed money to open more stores.
C. He didn't have enough flour to make more bread.
D. He had difficulty selling bread all over the kingdom.

C. kicked dirt over the line D. put their noses to the ground

(C)
Zhang Ming, a college graduate from Shandong, created a 9-page "WeChat guide(微信指南)" to parents. With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. "My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use technology" Zhang said.
Zhang's experience is common nowadays. In the world, 40% of parents learn about new technology, including computers, mobile Internet and social media (社交媒体), from their children, according to a survey from the International Communication Association. Parents teach their kids almost everything when they are young. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students and the students become the teachers.
The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, according to Zhou Xiaohong, a professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children more ways to get information. So, it's possible that children know more than their parents do these days.
According to the China Internet Network Information Centre, in China, 56.7% of Internet users and 67.2% of social media users are under the age of 30. Young people usually act as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves.
In Zhang Ming's eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him closer to his parents. "People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out " said Zhang.
( )1.From the first paragraph we learn that "WeChat guide" _______.
A. is created by Zhang Ming's parents
B. has 19 pages
C. explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls
D. has only pictures in it
( )2.What does the underlined word "they" refer to
A. Parents. B. Kids. C. Teachers. D. Students.
( )3.According to the passage, ________ of social media users are under the age of 30.
A. 40% B.56.7% C.67.2% D. 80%
( )4.Which of the following is True
A. Few young people in China nowadays help their parents learn about new technology.
B. Parents always know more than their children.
C. Parents cannot connect to the new word on their own.
D. "WeChat guide" makes it easier for older people to learn to use new technology.
( )5.From the passage we can infer(推断) that ______.
A. most parents learn about new technology all over the world
B. young people can be their parents' teachers in the age of new technology
C. Zhang Ming created "WeChat guide" in order to become famous
D. old people needn't learn new technology
