Every September, as summer ends and the first day of school approaches, I spend a lot of time thinking about darkness.

Perhaps other teachers would say the same, jokingly. But I teach a high school course on trauma (创伤) literature, and my students belong to a generation described as the most spoiled (宠坏的), stressed and easily hurt in history. So the question of darkness is often on my mind.

In 2016, Collins Dictionary included “snowflake generation” among its Words of the Year, describing young adults of the 2010s as a group “less resilient (适应的) and more likely to feel upset than previous generations.”

But after twelve years of teaching this course, which covers some of the most emotionally difficult texts in contemporary literature — narratives (讲述) of war, slavery and so on — I’m pretty sure the comment on my young students is wrong. In particular, I don’t buy the narrative that this generation lacks the resilience necessary for difficult literature. For years, I’ve watched my students circle tirelessly around some difficult questions that puzzle us. Instead of hiding from that world, they try to change it in a way that will allow them to control it successfully.

This is why every September, I ask my students to read the most difficult books I can find. I don’t do this to hurt them. Literature is practice. And I want my students, through these difficult books, to practice living. I want them to practice recognizing historical gaps and to bridge them.

“But this too is true: stories can save us,” writes Tim O’Brien in The Things They Carried. I believe and stick to that idea, year after year, on the first day of school. Not because these stories  will save my students. But because I’m hoping my students will grow up and save the rest of us.

24. What are the young adults of the 2010s like according to the Collins Dictionary?

A. Unsocial and anxious. B. Stressed but strong-willed.

C. Sensitive and greedy. D. Enthusiastic but self-centered.

25. What does the underlined word “buy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Pay. B. Believe. C. Obtain. D. Suspect.

26. Why does the author disagree with what the young adults are called?

A. The author has no knowledge of the young adults.

B. What the author wants is to help the young adults hide.

C. The author doesn’t know the meaning of “snowflake generation”.

D. The author knows a lot about the young adults from teaching them.

27. What is the purpose of this text?

A. To comment on the new generation again.   B. To recommend some trauma literature.

C. To introduce some teaching experiences.    D. To seek some advice from the public.

 

C

Starting in the late 1980s, the plastics industry spent tens of millions of dollars encouraging recycling through ads and recycling projects, telling people plastics could be recycled, but their own internal records showed that industry officials long knew that plastic recycling on a large scale comes with high costs but poor results.

A report sent to top industry directors in 1973 said that plastic recycling was not as easy as people thought and sorting plastic was impractical. Another document a year later showed that there was serious doubt that plastic recycling can get profits on an economic basis.

Despite this, three former top officials said the industry supports recycling as a way to beat back a growing trend of stopping using plastics in the 1980s. “The plastics industry is under fire, but we want to continue to make plastic products,” Thomas, an official from a company making plastics says.“ If the public think the recycling is working, then they’re not going to be so worried about the environment.”

“The public gradually doubt the idea that the plastics industry could do a satisfying job in dealing with plastics and protecting the environment. But now we have already funded new technologies to change this situation. We don’t want to see the pollution of the environment either and are willing to solve the problem,” says Jim Becker, vice president of Chevron Phillips Plastics Company.

However, the more plastics are recycled, the less money the industry will make. And the industry now produces many more different kinds of plastics that are more costly to sort and in many cases can’t be recycled at all. Efforts to reduce the use of plastics are increasing worldwide, but any plan to slow the growth of plastics will cause the whole industry to lose billions of dollars in the future.

28. What problem is mentioned in the first paragraph?

A. Too expensive plastics recycling.
