二、完形填空( 10 )
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Let’s be honest(诚实的): no matter how old we are, most of us feel happy when our parents do things for us. It makes our life easier, and we have 26 to worry about.
Some parents are used to doing almost 27 for their children. They see their older children (and sometimes even adults) 28 babies! It can be a very common problem in China, where parents only have one child. Some parents care so much about the safety(安全) of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by 29 . As a result, their children fail to learn necessary skills, and come to 30 more on the parents!
In fact, no children really enjoy being 31 by their parents all the time. On the other hand, 32 parents would be happy knowing that their children don’t know much about the world as a result of too much care! Children need their own time to develop into adults and to learn 33 to deal with problems. Too much care spoils(破坏) their fun while they are growing up. And when suddenly they can’t depend on their parents, these “children” will be 34 big trouble!
It is nice that parents 35 their care and attention to their children. It is nice that children know that their parents’ care and attention is the result of love. And it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need, and how much love is too much.
( )26. A. much B. less C. few D. most
( )27. A. nothing B. something C. everything D. anything
( )28. A. as B. for C. with D. to
( )29. A. himself B. themselves C. herself D. yourself
( )30. A. look B. face C. depend D. turn
( )31. A. taken care B. looked for C. worried about D. looked after
( )32. A. all B. any C. no D. some
( )33. A. what B. where C. why D. how
( )34. A. to B. with C. on D. in
( )35. A. get B. show C. bring D. make

A lady has a problem with her daughter.“My nine-year-old daughter is in Grade Four. Every evening we get into an argument about her homework. Three afternoons a week, she has activities (netball触网球, singing) after school and when we get home, homework is the last thing she feels like doing. The other two days, she got home early and we argued about whether she should do her homework right after school, or whether she should have some time to rest and play first. When Maria at last sat down to do her homework, she seemed to want me to be there all the time. But I had something else to do.

My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
“Families aren’t the ones the way they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks anymore; more and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on schooldays, even in winter. But now we don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide(加减乘除) using our heads. But now kids don’t use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators(计算器).
Most families have computers now. In the past we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don’t often eat home-cooked food.
And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think ...
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t anymore.”

A. He thinks the life now is very good. B. He thinks the life now is worse than it used to be.
