• 2．Almost all children expect their parents to give them more pocket money.But most of the time，their parents just give them a certain amount（數(shù)量）.And the amount of money that children get from their parents is different from family to family.The frequency（頻率）of getting money is different，too.Some children get pocket money every month.Do you know why？
     First of all，parents expect children to choose between the spending and the saving.Then children should understand what their parents expect them to buy with their pocket money.Usually，some children spend all of the money soon after they get it.Experts usually advise parents not to offer more money until it is the right time.By doing this，children will learn to spend money well.
     In order to encourage children to do the housework，some parents pay children for doing that.However，some experts don't agree because helping at home is a normal part of family life.
     Pocket money can give children a chance to experience three things.They can spend it by giving it to a good course.They can spend by buying things they want.They can save it for future use.Saving money helps children understand that money never comes easily.Saving money can also open the door to a better future for children.

     But not here.Before we left，I had told my 10-year-old son the rule-no emails，no social media，no video games，and no iPhone.We came here to get away from them all.Here we were on our first day and already，he couldn't stand it.

     The next few days passed in peace.
     On Day 6，my son was lying beside me on the beach，watching the sun going down.He was playing with the sjye.ai.And there was something shining in his eyes.I realized how time slowed down for both of us.It was exactly what I wanted.Finally，we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens，phone calls and e-mail.

• 4．Parents may be surprised at how fast their kids grow up，but a study finds that U.S teenagers are developing more slowly than those in the past.
     Scientists at San Diego State University have worked on a study of over 8 million U.S kids aged 13-19 for 40 years.The findings show that today's teenagers are less responsible（負(fù)責(zé)任的） and that most of them don't have a part-time job. "The whole development has slowed down.Today's 18-year-olds are more like 15-year-olds in the past，" said Professor Jean Twenge. "Teenagers are taking fewer risk than those in the past."
     Scientists have also found that more teenagers spend longer time living with their parents instead of renting（租） their own room or apartment.So is that slower development "good" or "bad"？It may depend on how you look at it，the scientists said."The upside of slower development is that teenagers aren't growing up before they are ready，"said Professor Twenge."But the downside is that they go to college and into the workplace without as much experience with independence." Today's students may be smart and creative，but they often have trouble with planning，time management （管理） and problem-solving，added Professor Twenge.
     One of the reasons for these changes is that today's teenagers would like to spend much time online.They keep on watching videos or playing games on the Internet instead of spending more time with their family and friends in person.Another one is that parents have become much more child-centric.In fact，parents had better let their children do everything by themselves.They should try their best to make their children become independent as soon as possible.
  
  （1）What can we know from the first two paragraphs？

  
  A．The study lasted for about 20 years.
  B．Teenagers now are more hard-working
  C．Teenagers in the past took more risks.
  D．Today's teenagers don't like slow life.
  （2）Why do today's teenagers grow up slowly？

  
  a.Their parents do too many things for them.
  b.It's difficult for them to get a part-time job.
  c.They dislike living in the real world.
  d.They spend too much time online
  A．a(chǎn)b
  B．bc
  C．bd
  D．a(chǎn)d
  （3）Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage？

  
  A． ①； ②； ③④
  B． ①②； ③④
  C． ①； ②③； ④
  D． ①②； ③； ④
  （4）Which is the best title for the passage？

  
  A．Study on Teenagers in the Past.
  B．Slow Development of U.S Teenagers.
  C．U.S.Teenagers' Personal Development.
  D．Different ideas about Today's Teenagers.
