三、完形填空(1*10)

While we are still children, most of us live at home with our parents, more or less peacefully. But 16 we become teenagers, things change, and we begin to grow apart from our parents. This means we are almost ready to leave the house where we grow up and make a new home 17 our own.

All humans must do this, but they don’t all do it in the same way. If, for instance, you belonged to a primitive tribe(原始部落),

then as you grew up, you would learn the 18 you needed as an adult — how to catch fish, how to keep house and look after children. You would be ready to marry in your early teens and you would build a house and 19 near your family in the village.

This seems a very old way of life, but it is what humans have been 20 to through hundreds of years. And it is what we are still used to in the 21st century, for man hasn’t changed in the short time. But could you leave home and 21 yourself during the teen years? Most people would not do very well. Why? Because although man hasn’t changed very much, the society he lives in has changed greatly, which means that we have to learn more and more 22 we are ready to leave our parents’ shelter and live alone .

However, sometimes it is a little unpleasant to live at parents’ home. Parents can be very upset about late nights, criticizing(挑剔) friends and always 23 that we are noisy and dirty. But we still need our emotional(情感的) shelter till we finish our studies, and that is 24 we usually stay in our parents’ home until we feel grown up enough to deal with 25 alone. ( )16.

Hi, Helen, I think you should do what your parents ask. They’re much older than you and you should take their advice. It’s their house you live in and their money you spend.
