Question

"Hey, Dad," one of my kids asked the other day, "what was your favourite fast food when you were growing up?"

"We didn't have fast food when I was growing up," I informed him．"All the food was slow．" "Where did you eat?" "It was a place called 'at home'．" I explained．"Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dining table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I liked it．"

Some parents never owned their own houses, set foot on a golf course, travelled out of the country or had a credit card．

My parents have never driven me to soccer practice．This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer．I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed．We didn't have a television in our house until I was 11．I was 13 when I tasted my first pizza; it was called "pizza pie"．When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered（粘貼）itself against my chin and burned that, too．It's still the best pizza I ever had．

I delivered newspapers, six days a week ．The paper cost 7 cents, of which I got to keep 2 cents．I had to get up at 4:00 a．m．every morning．On Saturday, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers．My favourite customers were the ones who gave me 50 cents and told me to keep the change．

If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren．

Answer 1

【答案】

1.A

2.D

3.B

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述的是現在的生活和以前生活的不同之處，生活一直都在發生著變化。

1.A 細節題。根據本句"We didn't have fast food when I was growing up," I informed him．"All the food was slow．"說明這里的"All the food was slow．"與前面的"We didn't have fast food when I was growing up,"語義是一致的，故A項正確。

2.D 推理題。根據第二段第四行if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I liked it．說明如果不喜歡就要一直坐下去，就是逼著孩子把這種食物吃下去。故D項正確。

3.B 推理題。通讀全文尤其是文章最后一段Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?說明作者想要告訴我們的是生活一直都在改變，故B正確。
