项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
According to a new survey, more than half of the parents in the United States are helping, or
have helped or supported their adult children who have been hit by high unemployment and poor
wages. It showed that present economic conditions are discouraging young adults from leaving
home and forcing those who have already gone, so called boomerang kids, to return.
"Parents are continuing their financial involvement longer than we expected," said Ted
Beck, president of National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE).
About 60 percent of parents questioned in the survey said they are helping their adult
children who are no longer in school financially. Half are providing housing and nearly half are
helping with living expenses.
For an increasing number of adult children, the situation is bad. Two-thirds of adult children,
aged 18 to 39, who are not in school said they faced tougher financial pressure than previous
generations, according to the survey. And nearly one-third of the parents agreed that it was easier
for them to find their financial feet than for their children.
Parents are helping their children out of genuine（真诚的）concern because they don't want
to see them struggle. But Beck said that parents who make sacrifices to help their adult children
should be careful about their own finances.
"If you are taking on extra debt or delaying retirement to help your adult children, you
could be making a mistake and putting your own financial future in danger," Beck warned.
Boomerang children can also cause other problems for their parents. Thirty percent of
parents said they have given up privacy since their adult children moved back home, while more
than a quarter have taken on added debt, and seven percent have delayed retirement. But the
survey also showed that 42 percent of adult children living at home are helping with the cooking
and cleaning.
56. According to the passage, boomerang kids here refer to　　　
A. married adult children
B. grown－ups living with parents
C. adult children independent and successful in life
D. adult children depending on parents for financial support
57. Which of the following matches the result of the survey?
A. About 30% of parents offer their adult children housing.
B. One-third of adult children earn money more easily than their parents.
C. Two-thirds of adult children are faced with financial problems in school.
D. About 50% of parents give money to their adult children to cover the daily cost.
58. What is Ted Beck's suggestion to the parents?
A. Asking their children to help with the housework.
B. Being cautious in helping their children.
C. Leaving their children to struggle to live.
D. Putting off their time of retirement.
59. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Adult children are less independent B. Parents help support adult children
C. Bad conditions affect children a lot D. Spoiled generation in the United States
B
It is almost like a reflex（条件反射）whenever we have a runny nose or a cough we reach
for the antibiotics（抗生素）．But maybe you should think twice before you start taking those pills next time you have a bit of a cold. Many doctors warn that we are overusing and sometimes misusing antibiotics to treat common diseases. This could have bad results.
Across the world, the problem of antibiotic resistance is growing, and the situation is
especially bad in China. The average amount of antibiotics each Chinese person takes every year is almost three times the international level and ten times the level in the United States, Xiao Yonghong, a professor in Peking University, told the Guangming Daily on October 19.
It is a common wrong idea that antibiotics work for all diseases right down to everyday
coughs and colds. In fact, antibiotics only work against bacteria, and not viruses. Most forms of
the common cold and flu are caused by viruses, so antibiotics are useless against them.
The process of curing a disease is like a war. Antibiotics kill many kinds of bacteria which
make you sick, but sometimes they also get "confused" and kill antibodies（抗体）in your body
that should be helping to kill viruses.
Sometimes the enemy bacteria may change themselves in order to fight back. When
antibiotics are used wrongly or too often, the bacteria can develop faster. This worsens the
infection and makes it harder to treat. Because of resistance to antibiotics, once treatable diseases are becoming fatal（致命的）again.
In recent years, different kinds of "superbugs" have been showing themselves in many parts of the world. They can avoid any antibiotics we have and have caused many deaths.
Since penicillin（青霉素）was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1929, it has saved many lives worldwide. Before this discovery was made, even infections in small cuts could kill.
However, overuse or misuse of this "life-saving" medicine could mean antibiotics turn against us in the war against disease.
60. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To inform readers that antibiotics are useful in treating diseases.
B. To warn readers of the dangers of antibiotics used improperly.
C. To explain the serious situation of antibiotics misuse in China.
D. To report on the invention of new antibiotics in the world.
61．In the war of curing a disease ＿
A. antibiotics defeat antibodies B. antibiotics kill bacteria
C. antibodies help viruses D. bacteria change themselves
62. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Antibiotics work against all kinds of everyday coughs and colds.
B. Large amounts of antibiotics are needed to kill "superbugs".
C. Penicillin is considered to be the best ever antibiotic in history.
D. Bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics and develop faster
