People who listen to indie bands are miserable shaggy-haired layabouts(懒惰的人)while fans of rap music are brave and full of self-confidence.
____41____ mere narrow-minded opinions, these are the results of an extensive psychological survey of more than 36,000 music lovers, which confirms, once and for all, that our musical tastes really do____42____ our personality. But the study’s most remarkable discovery is that lovers of classical music share a high number of personality traits (特征) with those who prefer rocking out to a heavy metal.
The research asked people worldwide to describe their personality and then to list their favourite styles of music. The results show a distinct ____43____ between people’s personality traits and the style of music they enjoy.
Fans of indie music, for instance, were found to have low self-respect and little____44____ but described themselves as creative. Rap enthusiasts, ____45____, tend to feel good about themselves and are extremely outgoing. Those who love dance music are____46____ outgoing but are more likely to be unfriendly and slightly self-centred.
Professor Adrian North, who led the study, suggested that the results explain why so many people bond over music and also why some of us are very____47____ about the music we listen to, since it is likely to be closely linked to the person we are.
According to Professor North, both heavy metal and classical fans are____48____ by a shared “love of the grandiose”, which means that a Metallica fan is far more likely to listen to Mahler than an indie kid is to give reggae a try.
“Aside from their age difference, they’re____49____ the same kind of person,” he said. “Lots of heavy metal fans will tell you that they also_____50_____ Wagner, because it’s big and loud.

Section B(2*11)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
“I’ve changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to Father Christmas written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched every heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors(挑衅者)and to lay down my life for those in my care How many people would want me back for Christmas It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword(剑),and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.
56. According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph_________.
A. puts forward the subject of the text
B. shows the author’s pity on the kid

A. to leave behind a precious memory to the people related
B. to have a high sense of duty to the whole society
C. to care what others will remember and treasure

(B)

Whether you're a citizen, consumer or investor, it is fast becoming a key life skill to make out greenwashing, a word meaning a company claims that its products are environmentally friendly but actually not green at all. Misleading or not proved claims about benefits to climate can make it harder for people to make informed decisions. They can also weaken real efforts by companies to clean up their act and deal with the climate crisis.
The basic problem is a lack of clarity. Indeed, when it comes to spotting greenwashing, it can actually be more helpful to focus on the color grey—because it is the many grey areas that have helped make greenwashing appear in particular places. These grey areas might be around measurements, definitions, best practice, standards or regulations. Even the language we use is very imprecise, leaving lots of room for vagueness, confusion or complete cheating. For instance, what do words such as “green”, “sustainable” and “eco” even mean You have no standards, measurements or definitions to judge by.
These problems are increasingly important when it comes to the greenwashing of investment products, such as pensions and investment funds. In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in consumer demand for funds that invest according to environmental, social and governance criteria, often referred to as ESG funds. According to the financial data provider Morningstar, the value of assets(资产) held in UK funds grew from 29bn at the beginning of 2017 to 71bn by the end of 2020.
With that much money at risk for high profits, misleading claims can effectively hamper the flow of money and resources into really green new plans and businesses, preventing global efforts from dealing with the climate emergency. “I describe it as the 'teenage years' of responsible investing, with a lot of experimentation, and a lot of people trying out new things.” says Ashley Hamilton Claxton.
63. Which of the following can be called greenwashing
A. A product that is claimed to benefit the climate.
B. A product that can been washed in a green way.
C. A product that is absolutely environmentally friendly.
D. A product that is claimed to be green while not the case.
64. What's the major cause of the problem of greenwashing
A. The product's description is not clear.
B. The language isn't grammatically right.
C. There are no such words as “sustainable”.
D. The company doesn't say it's “green” and “eco”.
65. What does the underlined word “hamper” probably mean
A. put B. clarify C. stop D. divide
66. What can you infer from the last paragraph
A. Much money enables high profits
B. Responsible investing is still at its early stage.
C. More money is invested in real green businesses.
D. A lot of people are unwilling to try out new things.
Section C(2*4)
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A new study has found the amount of antibiotics(抗生素) given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to rising demand for meat, milk and eggs. The researchers warn the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotics-resistant infections. _____67_____ Experts say when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better. _____68_____Increasing prosperity in Asia has meant people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and dairy products as they did 50 years ago. To meet that demand, farms have put many animals into smaller spaces.
Gail Hansen is a veterinarian-a doctor who treats animals-with the Pew Charitable Trusts, a research and advocacy group. “As the animals are crowded together, often times the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics. ”
Dr. Hansen says antibiotics help the animals stay healthy in crowded environments and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs, and that now-resistant bacteria can spread to people.
Doctors find that antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer do. ___69___Doctors say the heavy use of antibiotics in animals is one of several reasons for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year. At least 23,000 die from an infection.
___70___ “The developing world doesn’t have to make all the same mistakes that we made as being the United States and Europe." She notes that Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And she adds the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.
A. The bacteria have learned ways to fight the medicine.
B. The use of antibiotics in farm animals is harmful to us.
C. For most people, that means eating more meat.
D. Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.
E. Dr. Hansen says the whole world may have to be that way.
F. But Dr. Hansen says it does not have to be that way.
IV. Summary Writing(10’)
71. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Being keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12 inch plate instead of a 10 inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
V. Translation(3+3+4+5)
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
72. 我习惯睡前听点轻音乐。(accustomed)

【原文】I was born to a model mom and a suit maker dad, so I’ve had fashion running in my blood since Day One. When I was little, I always had this strong desire to dress in a certain way and to stand out from the crowd.
I made my own toys and sewed my first skirt at just 10 years old. In high school I started making my own clothes, mostly changing other things because I never seemed to like anything the way it was when I bought it. During the last two years of high school, I worked part-time for a small business that made hand-painted silk clothing and bags. Its owner became the teacher who got me into design in the first place. Another useful bit of work experience then came when I worked at a showroom during fashion week and found it very exciting. After that, I worked at a top clothing store while I got my own business started. Every morning I jumped out of bed, went to my studio and worked on my projects. I felt incredibly enthusiastic about my work. I even dreamed of new designs in my sleep!
Fashion design is functional art. In other words, it’s something close to you, and something you can touch and feel, and actually interact with. My advice to any young person who wants to be a fashion designer is to acquire the basic skills early on, such as sewing and pattern-making. Even if you end up specializing, it’s really important to understand all aspects of design in order to make high-quality clothes. I wholeheartedly believe that the right clothing can make people feel better and give them more confidence.
Questions:
11. What did the speaker do in high school
12. What advice does the speaker give to those who want to be fashion designers
13. According to the speaker, what will well-designed clothes bring about

【原文】Researchers continue to show the power of our sense of smell. Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smells of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.
A review of the studies by Conrad King explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to King, “the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings more than any other senses. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.”
Smell dictates the unbelievable complexity of food tastes. It has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by around 1,000 genes, which make up an amazing 3% of all our genes. In 2004, researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded the Nobel Prize for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000 genes connected with the sense of smell and to explain how the whole system works.
According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these smells can all make drivers feel hungry — and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites.
Questions:
14. Why is smell unique, according to the speaker
15. How many distinct smells can our noses detect
16. How do the smells of fresh pizza make drivers impatient

【原文】M: Thanks for joining us tonight, Gigi. Your project The School in the Cloud has been gaining some serious steam. Could you tell our audience something about the project
W: Sure. I’m so excited about this opportunity to introduce my project to a wider audience. It is a project that I created in 2017. You see, there are many retired teachers out there. Once a teacher, always a teacher. I wanted to find a way to make all these teachers available online to spread knowledge to children around the world.
M: I noticed that many students in India took great interest in your project, right
W: Yes, that’s right. Many Indian children are mentored in self-organized learning classrooms.
M: So is self-organized learning central to this project How does the School in the Cloud work
W: I believe you could say that. How the project works is actually quite simple. Students are given a big question or are challenged to think of their own. They choose their own groups and can change groups anytime. Groups are expected to present what they have learned at the end of each session.
M: Have you come across any challenges running this project
W: Quite often, in fact. We’ve had problems with sound or vision, or even both. And we have to try communication by text. There is also no guarantee that the internet will always work. In some areas there are shortages of proper equipment, and accidents happen. Once, the internet cable to a school was attacked by monkeys. It took a while for it to be repaired.
M: You don’t hear that a lot. Now Gigi, some of our viewers wanted to find out more about the project. They posted questions for you on our website. It seems quite a few of them are looking to join your project.
W: Really Well, I’d like to say “welcome aboard” to them all. The only thing they need to keep in mind is the key idea behind this project, which is that the student needs to be allowed to take charge of their own learning and the teacher acts in a supporting role. I look forward to seeing your applications.
M: Right, let’s all keep that in mind. Thank you for sharing with us your opinions, Gigi.
W: Thanks for having me. It’s a great honor.
Questions:
17. Why did Gigi initiate the program
18. Which of the following statements is not true
19. What should people know before applying to join the project

Section B(2*11)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
“I’ve changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to Father Christmas written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched every heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors(挑衅者)and to lay down my life for those in my care How many people would want me back for Christmas It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword(剑),and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

Whether you're a citizen, consumer or investor, it is fast becoming a key life skill to make out greenwashing, a word meaning a company claims that its products are environmentally friendly but actually not green at all. Misleading or not proved claims about benefits to climate can make it harder for people to make informed decisions. They can also weaken real efforts by companies to clean up their act and deal with the climate crisis.
The basic problem is a lack of clarity. Indeed, when it comes to spotting greenwashing, it can actually be more helpful to focus on the color grey—because it is the many grey areas that have helped make greenwashing appear in particular places. These grey areas might be around measurements, definitions, best practice, standards or regulations. Even the language we use is very imprecise, leaving lots of room for vagueness, confusion or complete cheating. For instance, what do words such as “green”, “sustainable” and “eco” even mean You have no standards, measurements or definitions to judge by.
These problems are increasingly important when it comes to the greenwashing of investment products, such as pensions and investment funds. In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in consumer demand for funds that invest according to environmental, social and governance criteria, often referred to as ESG funds. According to the financial data provider Morningstar, the value of assets(资产) held in UK funds grew from 29bn at the beginning of 2017 to 71bn by the end of 2020.
With that much money at risk for high profits, misleading claims can effectively hamper the flow of money and resources into really green new plans and businesses, preventing global efforts from dealing with the climate emergency. “I describe it as the 'teenage years' of responsible investing, with a lot of experimentation, and a lot of people trying out new things.” says Ashley Hamilton Claxton.
63. Which of the following can be called greenwashing
A. A product that is claimed to benefit the climate.
B. A product that can been washed in a green way.
C. A product that is absolutely environmentally friendly.
D. A product that is claimed to be green while not the case.
64. What's the major cause of the problem of greenwashing
A. The product's description is not clear.
B. The language isn't grammatically right.
C. There are no such words as “sustainable”.
D. The company doesn't say it's “green” and “eco”.
65. What does the underlined word “hamper” probably mean
A. put B. clarify C. stop D. divide
66. What can you infer from the last paragraph
A. Much money enables high profits
B. Responsible investing is still at its early stage.
C. More money is invested in real green businesses.
D. A lot of people are unwilling to try out new things.
【答案】63. D 64. A 65. C 66. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了由于对漂绿的描述不清晰，导致了许多投资不能流入真正的绿色行业，阻碍了全球协作去处理气候紧急情况这一社会现象。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Whether you're a citizen, consumer or investor, it is fast becoming a key life skill to make out greenwashing, a word meaning a company claims that its products are environmentally friendly but actually not green at all.”(无论你是市民，消费者还是投资者，理解漂绿正在快速成为一种关键的生活技巧，漂绿意思是一个公司声称他的产品是环境友好的，但实际上根本不是绿色的。)可知，漂绿声称是绿色的，然而事实情况不是这样的。故选D。
【64题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The basic problem is a lack of clarity. Indeed, when it comes to spotting greenwashing, it can actually be more helpful to focus on the color grey—because it is the many grey areas that have helped make greenwashing appear in particular places.”(根本问题是不清晰。实际上，当谈到漂绿的时候，关注灰色会更有帮助——因为是许多灰色地带帮助让漂绿出现在特定的地方。)可知，导致漂绿问题的主要原因是对其的阐述不清晰，存在许多灰色地带。故选A。
【65题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“preventing global efforts from dealing with the climate emergency.”(阻止全球协作处理气候紧急情况。)可以推测出，错误的声明实际上阻碍钱和资源流入真正绿色的新计划和业务中，才会阻止全球协作处理气候紧急情况。A. put放；B. clarify阐明；C. stop停止，阻拦；D. divide分开。所以hamper应与选项C. stop同义，意为阻止，阻碍。故选C。
【66题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I describe it as the 'teenage years' of responsible investing, …”(我认为负责任的投资处于‘青少年时期’)可知，负责任的投资还处于早期阶段。故选B。
Section C(2*4)
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A new study has found the amount of antibiotics(抗生素) given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to rising demand for meat, milk and eggs. The researchers warn the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotics-resistant infections. _____67_____ Experts say when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better. _____68_____Increasing prosperity in Asia has meant people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and dairy products as they did 50 years ago. To meet that demand, farms have put many animals into smaller spaces.
Gail Hansen is a veterinarian-a doctor who treats animals-with the Pew Charitable Trusts, a research and advocacy group. “As the animals are crowded together, often times the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics. ”
Dr. Hansen says antibiotics help the animals stay healthy in crowded environments and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs, and that now-resistant bacteria can spread to people.
Doctors find that antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer do. ___69___Doctors say the heavy use of antibiotics in animals is one of several reasons for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year. At least 23,000 die from an infection.
___70___ “The developing world doesn’t have to make all the same mistakes that we made as being the United States and Europe." She notes that Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And she adds the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.
A. The bacteria have learned ways to fight the medicine.
B. The use of antibiotics in farm animals is harmful to us.
C. For most people, that means eating more meat.
D. Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.
E. Dr. Hansen says the whole world may have to be that way.
F. But Dr. Hansen says it does not have to be that way.
【答案】67. D 68. C 69. A 70. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究成果：在未来15年里，给农场动物使用抗生素的数量预计将增加三分之二，在引起美国民众强烈关注的同时也引发一系列的后果。
【67题详解】
根据空前“The researchers warn the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotics-resistant infections.(研究人员警告说，这些药物可能会加速耐抗生素感染的发展。)”可知，此处强调的是耐抗生素感染是在不断加速发展的，后文应该强调该发展带来的结果。D选项“Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.(这种感染在美国已经是一个主要的公共卫生问题。)”中的Such infections指代前文的antibiotics-resistant infections，形成呼应。故选D。
【68题详解】
根据前文“Experts say when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better. (专家表示，当人们不再生活在贫困中，他们想做的第一件事就是吃得更好。)”可知，此处强调当人们生活变好的时候，人们想的第一件事情就是吃得更好。后文指出具体的表现。C选项“For most people, that means eating more meat.(对大多数人来说，这意味着要吃更多的肉。)”可知，人们吃更多的肉是生活变好的体现。故选C。
【69题详解】
根据空前的“Doctors find that antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer do.(医生们发现，曾经对感染有效的抗生素不再有效。)”可知，此处强调曾经对感染有效的抗生素不再有效。后文应该解释其原因。A选项“The bacteria have learned ways to fight the medicine.(细菌已经学会了对抗药物的方法。)”呼应前文。故选A。
【70题详解】
根据前文的“ At least 23,000 die from an infection.(至少2.3万人死于感染。)”以及后文“The developing world doesn’t have to make all the same mistakes (发展中国家不必犯同样的错误。)”可知，发展中国家是可以不必犯发达国家所犯的同样的错误。即F选项“But Dr. Hansen says it does not have to be that way.(但汉森博士表示，情况并不一定是这样。)”中的that way指代的是前文的“至少2.3万人死于感染”情况以及后文中“发达国家所犯的同样的错误”形成呼应，符合句意。故选F。
IV. Summary Writing(10’)
71. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Being keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12 inch plate instead of a 10 inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
【答案】How to design your home affects your figure. Below are tips to design home to help diet. (要点1) Firstly, make the house brighter, because dark environments lead to eating more. (要点2) Besides, paint the room with cold colors such as blue to reduce food intake. (要点3) In addition, use the clock to record the dinner time. Since eating slowly helps take in fewer calories, lengthen it to 30 minutes or longer. (要点4) Finally, use smaller dining tools. (要点5)

【答案】Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you that I quite agree with the writer of the article. Firstly, I think it is a common phenomenon in our society nowadays.With the improvement of people’s living conditions, young people are getting more and more from their parents, which makes them just want to have a comfortable life. As a result, most young people are used to taking rather than giving. In addition, most of the young generation are the only child in their families, so they get much more care and love from their parents than families with several children. So they are often the persons who are cared for by others, not the persons who care about others. Take myself as an example, I am the only child in my family. My parents take good care of me and let me live a carefree life. I don’t usually have to care about other members of my family initiatively. For this reason, most of the young generation seldom consider the needs and feelings of others.
These are the reasons why I agree with the author of the article.
Yours, Li hua
