The face-down generation（一代）

If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. The 21stcentury. That would make you young, creative, connected, world-wide, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?

Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the "face-down generation" because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.

Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt (溺愛) and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents". They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.

Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.

So if you're one of the oh-ohs, there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.

【解析】

【分析】

本文是一篇議論文。文章講述了“00後”面對智能世界，使他們成為了“臉朝下的一代”。儘管這一代人受到“直升機父母”的百般呵護和溺愛，但這一代人無疑受到了更好的教育和創新意識的培養。他們更願意成為新時代的領導者，對社會甘願奉獻，他們更有機會做偉大的事和笑對未來。

69．根據第一句話“If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs.”提示可知2004年屬於這一範圍。故*為Yes, she is。

70．根據第二段第二句“They think of you as the "face-down generation" because you use your phone so much.” 他們認為你是“臉朝下的一代”，因為你經常使用手機。故*為Because they use their phones so much。

71．根據第三段中的句子“Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by "helicopter parents". They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports.”可知為孩子包辦一切的父母被成為“直升機父母”。故*為Helicopter parents。

72．短文的第四段是從一代人的共*到Malala Yousafzai這個獲得諾貝爾和平獎的個體敍述的。故*選C（從一般到特殊）。

73．根據第四段中的句子“The fact that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. ”（事實是，今天的許多青少年都比上一代受過更好的教育，更有創造力。他們似乎願意成為領導者。比以往更多的年輕人自願幫助他們的社羣。）故*為To become leaders./ To volunteer to help their communities.
