Why are they suddenly referred to in this way?Tweenagers now have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than theyve ever had before. More and more companies are creating products and services for tweenagers. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing-its all about sales.Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. It is because parents are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition, the divorce rate in the UK is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to. So, many parents try to compensate(补偿) by buying presents for them.And do tweenagers have more freedom? Well, UK children today are very familiar with media and computer. Many have a television, if not a computer, in their bedrooms. They have access to much more information about the world.They may have experienced a lot in life as well, since 24% of UK kids live in single-parent families. People now say that Kids are getting older younger. With such sophistication (世故) at such a young age, they are much more fashion conscious and concerned about their image.In a world of TV programs that promise overnight success and fame at a young age, some people think its extremely important to look fashionable. Surely none of the above is a good thing, is it? Can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at such a young age? Are we stealing childhoods in return for profit?The UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from marketing their products and services at children. So, is there a happy ending to this story?Companies have just worked out that the older tweenage audience is now looking for something darker and more rebellious(叛逆的). As a result, films such as Twilight are being produced for this older tweenage audience.24. More and more companies pay attention to the tweenagers because_.A. every kid has a computer or a TV in their bedroomB. kids receive less pocket money now but have more freedomC. parents are more likely to spend money for their kids than beforeD. tweenagers have a growing interest in lunchboxes and mobile phones25. What does paragraph 2 suggest?A. Kids have a great influence on the market.B. The products for the kids are of better quality.C. Kids like to buy magazines and clothing most.D. Kids are more fashionable than other earlier generations.26. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 mean?A. Children exercise too little to physically healthy.B. Children look older than they actually should be.C. Children know more than earlier generations of youngsters knew.D. Children have more freedom and appear more mature than previous generations.27. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. The market is changing to meet the demand of kids.B. The companies make use of tweenagers to make money.C. Young tweenagers are having a positive influence on adult.D. Darker and more rebellious movies are popular with kids.CUnlike most other holidays, the history of April Fools Day, sometimes called All Fools Day, is not totally clear. The only point in time that can be agreed on as the beginning of this tradition was 1582, in France. Before that year, the New Year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25th. The celebration reached the highest point on April 1st. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX，the Gregorian calendar(公历，阳历) was introduced, and New Years Day was moved to January 1st.However, because in those days communications were not as developed as they are today, many people did not receive the news for several years. Some people refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1st. These backward people were considered “fools” by other people. They were often sent on “fools” errands(徒劳无益的工作) or were made the targets of jokes.This developed, over time, into a tradition of playing a trick on someone on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the Britain and France. April Fools Day thus developed into an international fun feast, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own kind of humor at the expense of their friends and families.28.

To reduce traffic jams and air pollution, many cities have offered bike-sharing. But sometimes, dreams can be destroyed.As shared bikes become more popular, problems keep showing up. According to news reports, shared bikes are badly treated by users. When people are using the bike, some of them just throw it onto streets. Some bikes are stolen. Recently, a man in Shanghai was fined 1,000 yuan for stealing a shared bike.Besides, the damage to the QR codes on the bikes has brought huge losses to bike-sharing companies, like Mobike. If the QR code is damaged, the bike cannot be used any more. It can take several hundred yuan for the company workers to find a lost bike and get it repaired.Mobike has 100 credit (信用) scores for each user. Once the score drops to below 80, bike rental will go up to five yuan per 30 minutes.However, punishment may not be the best way to stop shared bikes from being stolen or damaged. Bike-sharing services will work well only if people follow the rules and show respect for the bikes and other users.32. Why do many cities have offered bike-sharing?A. To provide convenience to travelers.B. To encourage more people to exercise by riding.C. To make money for the company by renting.D. To reduce traffic jams and air pollution.33.
