Teenage Life—Better Now, Or in the Past?
Does this situation sound familiar (熟悉的)?
You are complaining (抱怨) to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isn’t powerful enough to play the latest games. (1)C Then you hear...
“When I was your age, there weren’t any computers or video games. And I didn’t get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was secondhand. (2)A”
So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays. (3)B So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children.
(4)E Forty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers and amazing smartphones. And now these things are necessary we can’t imagine living without them!
However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it’s just us, with our computer or television. Teenagers don’t do enough exercise. (5)D And, although young people still get on well with their friends, some people think teenagers today don’t have so many social activities as they did in the past.
What do you think? Is teenage life better these days?
A. And it was too big for me.
B. A typical family is smaller now.
C. Or your friends’ bikes are better than yours!
D. So they aren’t as healthy as teenagers in the past.
E. Technology is probably the greatest change in our life.

答案： 1. C 【解析】本段意：你会向你的父母抱怨一些事情。或许你会抱怨你的电脑不能玩最新的游戏……C项(或者你朋友们的自行车比你的好)也属于抱怨的内容之一。
2. A 【解析】由上文“And I didn't get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was second-hand.”可知，上文是父母对孩子说的话，他们年轻时拥有的自行车是二手的，选项A也是父母对那个年代自行车的描述，因此A项符合语境。
3. B 【解析】由空格后的“So parents have got more money to spend on each child.”可知，父母在每个孩子身上花的钱更多了。由此可推断，现在每个家庭的孩子少了，也就是家庭的规模越来越小了，故选B项。
4. E 【解析】本段是对过去和现在在科技方面的对比，因此E项(科技可能是我们生活中最大的改变)符合文意。
5. D 【解析】由空格前的“Teenagers don't do enough exercise.”以及空格后的内容可知，本段主要讲了现在的青少年远不如过去的青少年健康，故D项符合文意。
