If you are reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life - or “IRL”, as you would say?
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”, who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-class activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them,
today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
With these taken into account, does the face-down generation need a warning? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be enthusiastic and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there are reasons to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud.
24. All of the following words EXCEPT can be used to describe the oh-ohs.
A. creative
B. caring
C. independent
D. smart
25. What does the underlined phrase “helicopter parents” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Parents who are rich and travel by helicopter. B. Parents who always watch over their children. C. Parents who have a very busy schedule. D. Parents who only turn up when necessary. 26. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The writer is a member of the face-down generation. B. The writer is positive about the future of the oh-ohs. C. The oh-ohs are better-looking than their parents. D. The oh-ohs care about nothing other than their phones.

My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症) last summer. Suddenly, it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now reversed-my mother became my child, and I became her mother. I became impatient, argued with her, once I even yelled at her. Gradually, I was used to this kind of life. Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better. I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.
My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings. That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients. When I visit her, feeling busy and tense, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous
