Hughes is a 24-year-old man from the UK. He often wears the same clothes for many days because he doesn’t know how to use a washing machine.

This is not a joke. Hughes is not the only one who doesn’t have basic（基本的）life skills. A study shows that today’s young people in the UK are less able than people before when it comes to basic life skills.

For example, about 35% don’t know how to sew (缝) and 11% don’t understand how to iron (熨烫) clothes.

This problem is shared by young people in the United States as well. Many young men in the US are losing the skill of cooking, and they like to order take-out food .

Technology（科技）may be the main reason for this. Born and raised in a digital age (数字化时代), young people often use phones and computers. For example, with GPS always at hand, young people have no need to learn how to read maps.

However, this does not mean that young men can not do basic everyday tasks. As their lives have changed, the main life skills have changed as well.

The study results show that although only 45% know how to pay their water bills（账单）after leaving home, 72% could help set up a WiFi network in a new house.

(    )7. Why does Hughes often wear the same clothes for many days?

A. Because he has been used to that.

B. Because he doesn’t know how to wash them.

C. Because he likes to play jokes on others.

D. Because he doesn’t have other clothes to change for.

(    )8. According to the text, young people today _______.

A. don’t need to learn basic life skills      B. can’t finish basic everyday tasks

C. are forming new basic life skills        D. are good at setting up WiFi networks

(    )9. What could be the main reason for this problem?

A. Parents’ love for their children. B. Too much homework every day.

C. Technology in the digital age. D. The popular use of GPS.

I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier（收银员）give the money back to a little boy, saying, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll (玩偶).” I walked toward the boy and asked him, “who do you want to give this doll?”

“It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas,” he said.

I said that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her after all, and told him not to worry. He told me sadly: “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her now. I have to give the doll to my mom so that she can give it to my sister when she meets her.”u

His eyes were so sad while saying this: “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mom is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.”

My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy: “Check again, maybe you do have enough money, right?”v

“Okay,” he said. “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without him seeing, and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare(多余的) money left over. “Thank you, God, for giving me enough money!” said the little boy.

I left the store, feeling that my life had been changed forever.

(    )10. Whom did the boy want to give the doll to?

A. His mother.  B. His friend. C. His sister. D. The writer.
