II. 完形填空(共20小题,每小题1分,满分20分)
A while ago my family and I went sledding(滑雪橇) and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
Many people are convinced that most of today’s 26 problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no 27 to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything 28there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a 29side. I watched my two oldest children (then five and four) take my youngest(then two years old)by the hand to help her up the slippery slope30 they went up. They would have been 31without her, but not once did they try to sneak (溜掉)by her without helping. And when the sled 32 my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to 33 them from falling and hurting themselves.
These children sometimes 34among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can 35 them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to 36 some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children 37 on the sideline(作为旁观者) and know that they will befriend(照顾)them.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame38 much of society’s problems—not the youngsters who want everything, 39 the adults who have taught themselves.
Most adults have been 41at some time or another, sadly, many 42that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can 43 that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with 44 of bumps(撞伤) and bruises(擦伤), but we can all make it to the 45 if we remember to help those who need it.
