[填空题]Most children at the tender age of six or so are full of the most impractical schemes for becoming policemen, firemen or train drivers when they grow up. When I was that age, however, I could not be bothered with such mundane ambitions, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
I was going to have my own zoo. At the time, this did not seem to me, and still does not seem, a very unreasonable idea. My friends and relatives, who had long found me strange because I showed little interest in anything that did not have fur or feathers, accepted this as just another manifestation of my strangeness. They felt that, if they ignored my often-repeated remarks about owning my own zoo. I would eventually grow out of it.
As the years passed, however, to the bewilderment of my friends and relatives, my resolve to have my own zoo grew increasingly stronger, and eventually, after going on a number of expeditions to bring back animals for other zoos, I felt the time was ripe to acquire my own.
[填空题]People 18 to 29 are the most mobile age group, ______ (他们过去的迁移模式决定了许多地区的未来发展).
[单项选择]One of the most significant elements of age stratification in all cultures is the pattern of experiences connected to marriage and parenting--a pattern that sociologists call the family life cycle. In North America, about 90 percent of adults marry, and the great majority of them have children and thus a family life cycle related to family experiences. When the family’s first child is born, the parents embark on a sequence of experiences linked to the child’s development--from infancy and toddlerhood, through school age and adolescence, and eventually, to departure from the nest. Each of these periods in the child’s life makes a different set of demands on the parents.
It can be inferred from the passage that the family life cycle
A. takes place whether or not people have children
B. does not occur in cultures outside of North America
C. must be redefined from one generation to the next
D. shapes several years in the lives of most adults
