第5题：
How often one hears children wishing they were grown up，and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains，and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents，he is well fed，looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition，life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their，interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain，or in the snow. His first，visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains：he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are；he is continually being told what to do and what not to do. Therefore，a child is not happy as he wishes to be.
When the young man starts to earn his own living，he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents；but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food，his clothes，or his room，he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child，he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents，he may get himself into trouble. If，however，he works hard，goes by the law and has good health，he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.
Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be；but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life；they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them；and，perhaps best of all，they can，if their life has been a useful one，feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest，leaving everything to others.
The happiest people should be those who______.
A．face up to difficulties in life
B．hope to be young again
C．enjoy life in different ages
D．wish to be grown up

第10题：
We Need Green Space
Decades ago,any open field,any vacant lot,any group of trees were the places where children played.As families left family farms,small towns,and the countryside,and moved into cities,the places for their children to play in became rarer.(46)_________
In fact,all people's lives change a lot when they move to the city. In cities,homes are built on top of one another in enormous apartment buildings.The feeling of private space and ownership no longer exists in houses literally piled one on the other.
Psychologists have been studying the changes people experience when they leave rural areas and move into urban environments.(47)________Children can play on paved playgrounds.That's true.(48)_________Without grass and trees and bushes and,yes,dirt and mud to get dirty in, children miss an important part of childhood.The human soul,it seems,needs to stay close to its roots.
Adults can plant lots of things like bulbs in window boxes and large containers.(49)_________ The lack of green space is now recognized and understood as a problem.
City planners一the people who design neighborhoods一have begun to work on a solution.They want to build more parks,but land in cities is quite costly.So they look for land that no one else wants.Along rivers,under power lines,near ditches and highways—(50)________Why not use these unused spaces for green areas?Neighborhood groups have coordinated their efforts to clean up the trash or garbage.Soil from new building projects in the city has been trucked by lorries into these areas.This soil has been dumped along the sides of rivers,and strong walls have been erected to hold it there.Trees and bushes have been planted;the roots of these plants will hold the soil, too,and the green leaves make the area beautiful.
A:However,they just don't have as much fun as children in small towns.
B:Children in the cities had few options,fewer choices of places to play.
C:Why is there no place children in cities to play?
D:One clear finding from their studies is that people need green spaces for better mental health.
E:However,tending window boxes isn't the same as being an amateur gardener and growing peas,tomatoes and salad greens in a backyard garden.
F:these are the spaces that no one uses and they are everywhere.
前一句讲的是“心理学家们一直研究人们在离开乡村搬到城市环境后所经历的变化”，而选项D中的核心词one clear finding与该句联系最紧，该选项的意思是：“他们的研究得出的一个清晰的结果是：为了更健康的心理，人们需要绿色的空间”。
空格后讲的是“没有了青草、没有了树木、没有了灌木，还有，没有了弄脏他们手脚和衣服的污物泥土，孩子们就失去了童年生活中的一个重要组成部分”，因为与本段前几句的意思是转接关系，需要一个转折句，而选项A“然而，他们并不能像生活在小城镇里的孩子们那样玩得开心”最符合要求。
文章前一句讲“大人们可以在窗台前花坛和大的容器里种上各种球茎状的植物”，与该句关系最近的是选项E“但是在窗前花坛里种植些植物与做一个业余园丁、在后花园里种豌豆、西红柿和做色拉用的绿叶蔬菜可大不一样”。
文章前面讲的是城市规划人员寻找没人要的土地，与之相关的仅有选项F“这些地方没人用，而且到处都有”。
