27、en he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories. And the peak of his school career came not when he topped the class but when he was selected for the nationwide competition.

28、木) and making something out of them. Nigel spent two months building his robot.

Getting the thousand-dollar

29、prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to make friends with Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped her to put the finishing touches(收尾工作) to her robot. He was glad with the way things had

30、progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia's and it was able to play a ball with its arm, something Alicia had failed to do. On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia. Everything became clear the minute she saw him among the competitors. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then ang

34、的)C. Doubtful D. Sympathetic BAmerican cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts

35、of a society: violent crime, racial(種族) conflict and poverty. American cities are changing just as American society is changing. After World War II city residents became wealthier.

37、ike their parents want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers and executives(主管人員) are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel s

38、hortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers. This population shift(轉(zhuǎn)變) is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of f

39、or rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.

They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years,

52、according to the report from the University of Chicagos National Opinion Research Center. The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found that people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the fo

53、llowing ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child.“There is a large degree of agreement across socia

54、l groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably

55、shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values.
