Have you ever thought about what determines the way we are as we grow up Remember the TV program "Seven Up" It started following the lives of a group of children in 1963. We first meet them as wide-eyed seven-year-olds and then catch up with them at seven-year intervals: nervous 14-year-olds, serious 21 -year-olds, then grown-ups.
Some of the stories are inspiring, others sad, but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the way in which the children’s early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives. For example, at seven, Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver. When he grows up, he goes on to do both. How about Nicki She says," I’d like to find out about the moon." And she goes on to become a space scientist. As a child, soft-spoken Bruce says he wants to help "poor children" and ends up teaching in India.
But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern
A. New ways to make a TV program interesting.
B. The importance of television programs to children.
C. Different ways to make childhood dreams come true.
D. The influence of childhood experience on future lives.

[单项选择]Have you ever considered what an important part work plays in our general lifestyle For most of us, our jobs are the main things that motivate and direct us, and around which we organize our lives. Perhaps this stress on work began with our puritan forebears, who believed that the best way to serve God was through honest hard work, or perhaps our fundamental belief in work stems from a time when this country was young and we needed people who believed in hard work to carry out the arduous business of pioneering. Whatever the reason, it is undeniable that work is important to us. Think about the situation that arises when you meet someone and try to learn more about him or her. An early question is very frequently something such as, "what do you do" or "Where do you work" This kind of question usually follows "What’s your name" and is now so common with us that we do not stop to wonder why we ask it.
But, you know, it is very possible that in the future the question will disappear,
A. They were divided according to the games they played.
B. They were known primarily by the work they did.
C. They had strong belief in honest hard work.
D. They had a great deal more free time than we do now.
