How often one hears child wishing they were grown-ups， and 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 to make life difficult. If a child has good parents， he is fed， looked after and loved， whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more， life is always giving new things to the child—things that have lost their interests for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains： he is not so free to do what he wishes to do； he is repeatedly told not to do something， or being punished for what he has done.
When a young man starts to make his own living， he can no longer expect others to pay for his food， his clothes and his room， but 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 go to prison. If， however， he works hard， keeps out of troubles and has good health， he can have the happiest of building up for himself his own position in society.

A. life for a child is fairly easy
B. a child is always loved whatever he does

A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard

The whole family uses the bathroom─most often without taking care. How safe is your bathroom？ If any of the following is true of yours， do something about it as soon as possible before tragedy（悲剧） strikes.
Very hot water.
The water in your tap should not be hotter than 55-60 degrees Centigrade. If it is， it can easily burn those who inadvertently land under it in the shower， having forgotten to open the cold tap as well. In any case， it’s expensive to keep the boiler close to boiling point all the time.
Gas leaks(漏洞)
Gas leaks are dangerous─whether in bathrooms or kitchens. If you smell gas， switch off everything and get out of the house as soon as possible─even if you only have a towel around your body.
Slippery floor
Imagine being in plaster of Paris for six weeks after breaking a leg slipping on a wet bathroom floor. Invest（购买价格高的有用之物） in a wooden or rubber bathroom mat or a non-slip bathroom floor. It is also an idea， especially if you have elderly relatives living with you， to have a non-slip rubber mat in the bath.
Dirty towels
Towels need to be washed regularly， as they are wonderful breeding（繁殖） grounds for bacteria（细菌）. Infections（感染） can be passed on from one family member to another， if they use the same towel.
Any electrical connections
There should be no electrical connections or extension wires in the bathroom. Any contact between a live electrical connection and water can result in death. This is the reason why electric shavers have special connections. Be careful of electrical extension cords linked to washing machines or dryers.
1. Plaster of Paris may be _____.
A. used to treat the broken bones
B. a kind of medicine to treat diseases
C. hidden in the broken legs or arms

A. turn on the electric fan to blow the gas out
B. find out the leaking point and get it fixed

A. old people may easily slip on a wet floor
B. rubber can clean wet bathrooms floor easily
C. a towel may protect you from breathing in gas

A. equip electric wires

We know that a little white lie is a false statement or lie that seems harmless. It is called white because the colour white is connected with innocence and purity（单纯和纯洁）. A white lie can be forgiven because it is usually told to keep someone’s feelings from being hurt. For example， you may think your friend’s new haircut looks terrible， but when he or she asks you if you like it， you tell a little white lie. You say “I like it. It surely makes you look different.” That kind of lie， a little white lie， does two things. One is that it keeps your friend’s feelings from being hurt and the other is that it keeps him or her as a friend. But little white lies usually introduce darker ones.
1. According to this passage， a little white lie is______ .
A. a false statement which is as pure as gold
B. a lie which is as innocent as a little child
C. a lie whose colour is as white as a piece of paper
D. a lie which does no harm to others
2. You tell your friend a little white lie when_______ .
A. your friend’s new haircut looks terrible and funny
B. you want to do no harm to friendship between you and your friend
C. your friend does not want to keep the friendship with you
D. you want to play a joke on him or her or to make a fool of him or her
3. From this passage we know that ______.
A. the colour of a little white lie is always white
B. a white lie will do harm to the friendship between you and your friend
C. we should always tell a little white lie
D. a little white lie can often lead to a worse one
4. If there is no little white lie in our life，we________ .
A. can keep a lot of friends around
B. can not make any friend in the world
C. all shall tell the truth instead of lies
D. shall all be as innocent as little children
