If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the 00s. What do you think of your generation (一代) Young, creative, connected, smart or maybe good-looking But what do other people think about your generation
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoiled by their parents and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter (直升机) parents”. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities. So today’s young people seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people volunteer to serve their communities than ever. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the 00s, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation.
( )26. How did the writer lead the readers to the passage
A. By asking questions. B. By showing his ideas.

A. Because they are always busy with homework with their heads down.
B. Because they don’t know how to work with the people around them.
C. Because they show great interest in the phone and use it too much.
D. Because they are not confident and feel shamed with themselves.
( )28. What does the underlined word “spoiled” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Beaten and punished. B. Watched and pushed.
C. Given too much love and care. D. Offered too little attention and support.

The king of Chu was unhappy about 40 Yan Zi did. “Why did Qi send you Don’t they have anyone better ” the king tried to laugh at him 41 another way.

Yan Zi replied, “The orange trees south of Huai River produce big and delicious fruit, 42 the orange trees north of Huai River produce small and sour fruit. The environment makes the fruit grow 43 . In Qi, people are honest, but here, 44 people steal.” Finally, the king looked at Yan Zi and 45 , “I was wrong about you and your state!”
