“Oh，you must have been a spoiled (寵壞的) kid.You must be really bossy.I wonder what you’re going to be like to deal with?” That’s often the response Angela Hult gets when people find out she’s an only child，she told ABC News.Despite such negative (消極的) remarks，Hult has decided to have only one child herself.And she’s not alone.

　　According to the US’ Office for National Statistics，women approaching the end of their childbearing years had an average of 1.9 children in 2004，compared with 3.1 for their counterparts in 1976.The percentage of one­child families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 to 26 percent in 2007.

　　But even though only children are becoming increasingly common，the traditional view that they’re selfish，spoiled and lack social skills holds strong.Even parents of only children，like Hult，are made to feel guilty about having only one child.Worried that they’re being selfish and endangering their child’s future，they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice.Soon，however，they ask themselves：is this social prejudice really reasonable?

　　“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers (同齡人)，” Susan Newman，a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US，told ABC News.

　　This raises another question：why are only children still viewed with such suspicion?

　　“There is a belief that’s been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous，both for you and for the continuation of your race，” Toni Falbo，a professor of educational psychology，told the Guardian.“In the past a lot of children died.You’d have had to be crazy to only have one.”

　　Times，of course，have changed and infant mortality (嬰兒死亡率) has largely reduced.So what do only children themselves say?

　　Kayley Kravitz，a blogger for The Huffington Post，grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience.“Being an only child taught me the most valuable skill of all：the ability to be alone，” she said.

　　1.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

　　A.Are only children lonely?

　　B.Are only children common?

　　C.Are only children dangerous?

　　D.Are only children different?

　　2.What does Susan Newman mean?

　　A.Only children are as good as their peers.

　　B.Only children are more selfish and spoiled.

　　C.Parents feel guilty about having only one child.

　　D.Parents will endanger their only child’s future.

　　3.What is the common belief since human existed?

　　A.The infant death rate always stays high.

　　B.People are crazy to have only one child.

　　C.It’s easy for only children to earn their living.

　　D.It’s hard to continue the family line with only one child.

　　4.An only child like Kayley________.

　　A.must be difficult to persuade

　　B.can possibly learn to be alone

　　C.should value special skills

　　D.need ignore bad experience

　　5.What’s the author’s attitude towards having only one child?

　　A.Neutral.　 B.Negative.

　　C.Positive.　 D.Doubtful.

　　三、閱讀表達

　　[1]Every year，many people offer to find remains of lost societies and communities.These efforts take place across the world.For example，F(xiàn)orest Service experts and volunteers are working in the San Gabriel Mountains of southern California.They are looking for information about prehistoric and historic settlements of native Californians.

　　[2]This kind of work interests theological (神學(xué)的) researcher Steven Ortiz of the Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth，Texas.Every other year，he leads an archeological dig in Israel.The dig is at Tel Gezer，halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.Professor Ortiz directs the activities at Tel Gezer with Samuel Wolff，an Israeli archeologist.

　　[3]The experts，students and volunteers are hoping to learn more about the ancient city of Gezer.The city is linked to King Solomon，who appears in the holy writings of Judaism，Christianity and Islam.Volunteers must pay for their transportation and children may take part if they are with a parent.

　　[4]Volunteers will face______________.The work takes time，patience and often，muscle strength.The ground may be hard and the sun may be hot.

　　[5]For some，Steven Ortiz said the dig is a religious pilgrimage (朝圣之旅).But there are a number of other reasons.Some just value ancient history，and they want to be a part of uncovering it.Ortiz said，“I think we attract people who think they want a cross­cultural experience.They want to do something meaningful.They want to get their hands dirty.And they want to have a fun experience touring a foreign country.”

　　[6]Volunteering for the archeological dig provides all those things，and more.“You are helping science.You are helping history.But on the weekends，you get to have fun，and you get to travel the country and see sights you do not normally see.”
