28、some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road.

29、e men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it.They reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour!

36、go. This generation of teens is delaying the responsibilities and pleasures of adulthood. Some people think that todays teens are more virtuous (有道德的) and responsible. Others have suggested that todays teens arent working because they are simply lazy.To figure out whats really going on, we should lo

37、ok at these trends with “life history theory taken into consideration. A “fast-life method” was the more common parenting approach in the mid-20th century, when fewer labor-saving devices were available and the average woman had four children. The parents needed to focus on day-to-day survival. As a

38、 result, kids needed to care for themselves sooner. A slow-life method, on the other hand, is more common in times and places where families have fewer children and spend more time on each childs growth and development. When the average family has two children, preparing for college can begin as ear

39、ly as primary schools. The two methods are adaptations to a particular cultural background, so each isnt naturally “good or “bad. Delaying exposure to alcohol, then, could make young adults less prepared to deal with drinking in college. One study found teens who rapidly increased there binge-drinki

40、ng(酗酒)were more at risk of alcohol dependence than those who learned to drink over a longer period of time. The same might be true of teens who dont work, drive or go out much in high school. College administrators describe students who cant do anything without calling their parents. Employers worry

41、 that more young employees lack the ability to work independently.However, the “slow-life method” is also likely beneficial as teens are spending more time developing socially and emotionally before they drive, drink alcohol and work for pay. The key is to make sure that teens eventually get the opp

According to the text, teens in the past were more .A. reliable B. innocent C. intelligent D. independen

43、t33What plays a vital role in the trend of teens growing up more slowly?A. Cultural changes. B. Social standard. C. Educational development. D. Methods of education.34.
