42．Acting the Part After school，Rose rushed off the bus and raced to the Old People's House，glancing back several times to make
sure no one saw her.She loved spending her afternoons with her great uncle and the other seniors，but she didn't think her friends would（1）.
Mr.Matthews，the assistant in the Old People's House，greeted her at the door and joked if she kept coming here to act for the old people，they would pay jye.air.He then laughed at his joke and held the door open for her.
For Rose，acting was just as much fun for her as it was for the old people here.She walked to the dressing room and opened her backpack.Her purple dress was inside，getting wrinkled.But how else could she get her costumes here to perform for the old people here？She then smiled and held up the dress.The show she was（2）on for them was called Rapuncel.
Rose tensed up at the sound of her best friend Tyler's voice.Even though they'd grown up together and were next-door neighbors，Rose had managed to keep her performances at the Old People's House a（3）.
"What are you doing here？" Rose asked.
"I was just going to ask you the same thing.I followed you from the bus."
"I didn't see you on the bus.I thought you had a baseball match." Rose said，not sure if she was ready to tell Tyler what she'd been doing.No one knew she wanted to be an actress when she grew up.
"It has been put off because the coach is sick."
"Oh.Well，I am just here visiting Uncle Albert."
Uncle Albert cocked his head， "I thought you were performing Rapuncel for us."
"Rapuncel？Are you putting on shows for the old people here？" Tyler asked.
Rose put the dress back in her bag. "1—"
Tyler was into sports.He would never understand Rose's love for（4）.

43．Lie down，but don't be beaten down. "Tang ping"，or "lie down"，has become a buzzword among young Chinese people recently.It is used to describe youngsters who give up all ambitions of achieving worldly success in life，and instead do the least to get by.Such people prefer to lie down，lower their desire for buying new things，and keep themselves far away from competition for fame and money.
Many say such people don't want to work hard for a better life.Others say those who "lie down" decide to avoid the unreasonable fierce competition at school and work，looking for new ways of developing their career and leading a meaningful life.
It's no good criticizing the young generation for "lying down" before finding out why they choose to do so.
The fierce competition for a good college，the tiring 996 work schedule（working from 9 am to 9 pm，six days a week），and the skyrocketing house prices frustrate（使挫?。﹎any young people.Some even believe no matter how hard they try，they will fail.In this case，why not lie down in the first place？
Instead of taking part in "involution"（內卷），which gives people a burned-out feeling and makes individual efforts less worthwhile in involuntary （不自愿的）competitions，these young people would rather live a different life，focusing more on their personal development than success.
This trend of "lying down" requires attention but there is no need to panic.On the one hand，it serves as a warning to prevent the country from sliding into a low-desire society，as happened in Japan，where an aging population and a large number of young people who have lost their passion are destroying the ecjye.aiomy.On the other hand，the phrase serves more as self-mockery（自嘲），and thus serious criticism is not necessary.Young people also like to call themselves "corporate slaves"（社畜）though they mean no harm to the company.These fun terms help them find people alike and feel better.
Luckily，the government and more companies are seeking solutions to case the pressure of the young.For instance，Bye-Dance Technology made new rules last November to discourage staff from working overtime.The company told its employees not to work beyond 7 pm.In recent years，the government is also putting growing efforts into lowering housing prices and providing public rental housing.
Success shouldn't be measured by fame and money only.People from all walks of life deserve equal respect.For young people，what they really desire is being seen.Actually，Chinese young people are fulfilling their duties well.The average age of more than 67，000 scientists and engineers who devote themselves to China's aerospace cause is only 36 years old.And many excel in ordinary jobs.They live on their own，support their families，and contribute to the society with their work.They may lie down for a while when they are tired，but they will never be beaten down.
（1）The underlined word "burned-out" in Paragraph 5 probably means "".
A．exhausted
B．scared
C．worried
D．shocked
（2）What can we learn about the trend of "lying down" from the passage？
A．It prevents the country from sliding into a low-desire society.
B．It started in Japan，where "involution" destroyed the economy.
C．It happens in big cities because work hours are long and house prices are high.
D．It requires little serious criticism as young people use it to make fun of themselves.
（3）What is Paragraph 7 mainly about？
A．What society has done to help young people.
B．How Chinese young people case their pressure.
C．How companies stop young people from "lying down".
D．What responsibilities the society has for young people.
（4）The writer would probably agree that.
A．it is necessary to respect people who refuse to "lie down"
B．some young people "lie down" to get ready for future life
C．the people who excel in ordinary jobs should be better paid
D．it is fine for some people to lie down as long as they succeed組卷：6引用：1難度：0.5
