fe Forms D. Linnaeus?s Classification System Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. Many say collecting toys creates a sense of acplishment. B. This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as “kidults”. C. But scientists are probably just worrying too much. D. But this “fact” doesn?t seem to apply to today?s world anymore. E. At one point in our life, we all had and loved our own toys. F. Despite this, some social scientists see the trend as disturbing. Staying young forever It used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan — a character from James Matthew Barrie?s 1911 book — said: “All children, except one, grow up.”( 67) ________ According to the NPD Group, a US market research pany, sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2021, three times the pace of the children?s toy market itself. These toys ranged fi om puzzles and Lego building sets to vehicle models and action figures. And more than half of the sales came from millennials — people born between the 1980s and 2021s. “Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,” mented website Koreaboo. (68) ________ According to Frederique Tutt, ail analyst at NPD, the motivation of these grownups is to escape the stress of today?s fastpaced world. They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by, say, getting a promotion, which is far less easy to achieve. “It reminds me of the playful side of life,” Rob Willner, a 25yearold PhD student in the UK, told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego, which he said brings him both fort and entertainment. (69) _________ To Frank Furendi, a professor at the University of Kent in the UK, the fact that so many adults are pursuing “the thrills of youth” is the evidence that “adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore”, he told The New York Times. “That?s actually quite sad.” (70) ________ According to Canadian ic book artist Todd McFarlane, collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality. “It?s just pop culture stuff. It?s stuff that says, ?I like a little of this and I like a little of that?,” he told ABC News. “It?s no big deal.” So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan, perhaps it?s time to introduce a new “fact”, as stated in the tagline of the UK fashion brand KIDULT: “Growing old is mandatory(強(qiáng)制的 ), but glowing up is optional.” Ⅳ . Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. We see it everywhere. A tired parent, at the end of a stressful day, loses it — and a child suffers. We?d like to help if we could, but we hesitate. Is it our business to intervene (干涉 )? And if we do, will we embarrass and offend the parent, making him or her even more angry with the child? Isn?t it wiser to walk past without ment? After all, none of us is a perfect parent. There seems to be a mon assumption in our society that intervening on behalf of a child in a public place is necessarily hurtful and critical. It needs to be neither. There is a world of difference between hurtful criticism (“How dare you treat your child like that?”) and helpful intervention done in a caring way (“It can be really hard to meet their needs when you?re so busy. Is there anything I can do to help?”) There is nothing essential in intervention that requires one to be offensive. My friends and I have witnessed some really harmful acts: hitting, severe verbal abuse, hurtful parisons to brothers and sisters, and so on. These children accept this treatment because they are too helpless and inexperienced to stand up for themselves. That emotional abuse (虐待 ) leaves no outward scars should not excuse us from helping these children. Those of us who can recognize damaging treatment have an obligation to step in. There is one more reason for intervening that is nearly always overlooked in these discussions, but which I consider to be the most significant: the lifelong effect it can have on the child. Many adults in counseling sessions still recall with gratitude the one time that a stranger stepped in on their behalf, and how much it meant: that someone cared, and that the child?s feelings of anger and frustration were recognized and accepted. These adults have stated to me that this one intervention changed their lives and gave them hope. Are we to bypass the opportunity to make such a big difference in the life of a child? V.
