Every kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing houses as a child pretending to be a gown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than young.
But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become “kidults”(kid + adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory(饰物). Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales. For example, even an edition of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover came out in Britain. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book!
“kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, childlike emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said a professor in a Korean University. He added that kidult culture might fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together..
Tim Greenhalgh, a professor in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They cling to(舍不得放弃) childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.
“So, they look for an escape from increasingly complex and stressful life that are hard to deal with ,”Greenhalgh said.
60．We can learn from the passage that kidults are .
A．children who can’t wait to grow up
B．grown-ups who hold on to childlike emotion
C．people who enjoy playing sports
D．young people who pretended to be grown-ups when young
61．According to the passage, kidults would like to do the following except .
A．buy Hello Kitty mobile phone accessories[来源:21世纪教育网]
B．read a children’s book on the subway
C．work in a busy and stressful city
D．collect toys they once played with
62．In the opinion of the Professor in a Korean University, kidults are .
A．immature(不成熟) and weak B．necessary to our society
C．looked down upon D．getting more and more
63．The main reason of the kidult culture lies in that .
A．some companies are taking advantage of it
B．modern life is stressful and hard
C．some people like to stay young and energetic
D．some people wish to bridge the generation gap

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台) ,I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple who I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I get out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly ford dealership ―a shop selling cars ― was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment; so when I got home; I wrote them a note to say thanks, I received a letter back from one of the salesmen, No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

Both art and architecture have a history of ages. All forms and ways of expressing beauty have been explored. In the case of architecture, many buildings that were designed in the past have proven to be beautiful and served their purposes. We could save millions of dollars by copying designs of architecture of buildings from the past. Besides, some people find modern architecture ugly. So why should we pay a lot for designing new buildings? The same goes for modern art, both paintings and statues. Many art objects created in the past are now covered by dust in storerooms. They are enough to decorate all public places. There is no need to create more art, and as with modern architecture, many people find new art difficult to understand or appreciate.
Considering these facts, why are architects and artists asked to create new art works? And why are we interested in creating new ones, instead of using or copying what was made in the past? The answers to these questions have to do with the fun_ction of art in society today.
First of all, the fun_ction of art is to decorate. By placing art works in parks and hanging paintings or drawings on the walls, we make our living environment more beautiful. When our eyes move across an empty wall, they will for a few moments rest on a painting or drawing hung there. It makes us feel good. Sometimes, Paintings are not beautiful at first glance. But watching and thinking about them for a while or repeated viewing will help us learn to appreciate them.
Another fun_ction of art is enriching real life, as art is part of everyday life. Art helps us learn to think creatively. In art, things are not always what they seem to be. Art objects in a park are sometimes funny. Very often we can hardly tell what they are. We need such creative moments. It helps us to balance our minds. With art like that all around us, our life is more interesting.
Finally, art is often seen as a way to instruct the audience. Statues of heroes from the past remind us of our history. Paintings and other art objects can also help us to realize which goals we should set for ourselves and inspire us in our everyday work.
Because ideas about society change and every period of time has its own taste, there is always a need for new art. We can still appreciate art works made in the past for their beauty, but they are often too valuable to be placed in public places. Besides, they also often need special protection.
72．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．The fun_ction of art B．The beauty of art and architecture
C．The design of art D．The history of art and architecture
73．The writer’s attitude toward modern art is very .
A．supportive B．doubtful C．critical D.neutral
74．We can’t decorate public places with old art, because .
A．some people find old architecture, paintings and statues ugly
B．public places are so precious that they need special protection
C．we need new art, for beauty vary from period to period
D．a great number of old art works are covered with dust in storerooms
75．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
(①stands for paragraph l , ②stands for paragraph2, etc.)
A． B． C． D．
