一、阅读理解（共 30 分）
I’m 16. On a recent night, while I was busy thinking about important social issues, like
what to do over the weekend and who to do it with, I overheard my parents talking about my
future. My dad was upset — not the usual stuff that he and Mom and, I guess, a lot of parents
worry about like which college I’m going to, how far away it is from home and how much it’s
going to cost. Instead, he was upset about the world his generation is turning over to mine, a
world he fears has a dark and difficult future — if it has a future at all.
He sounded like this: “There will be a pandemic that kills millions, a devastating energy
crisis, a horrible worldwide depression and a nuclear explosion set off in anger.”
As I lay on the living room couch, eavesdropping on their conversation, starting to worry
about the future my father was describing, I found myself looking at some old family photos.
There was a picture of my grandfather in his Citadel uniform. He was a member of the
class of 1942, the war class. Next to his picture were photos of my great-grandparents, Ellis
Island immigrants. Seeing those pictures made me feel a lot better. I believe the world my
generation grows into is going to get better, not worse. Those pictures helped me understand
why.
I considered some of the awful things my grandparents and great-grandparents had seen
in their life times: two worlds wars, killer flu, a nuclear bomb. But they saw other things, too,
better things: the end of two world wars, the polio vaccine, passage of the civil rights laws.
They even saw the Red Sox win the World Series—twice.
I believe that my generation will see better things, too — that we will witness the time
when AIDS is cured and cancer is defeated; when the Middle East will find peace and Africa
grain, and the Cubs win the World Series — probably, only once. I will see things as
inconceivable to me today as a moon shot was to my grandfather when he was 16, or the
Internet to my father when he was 16. Ever since I was a little kid, whenever I’ve had an
awful day, my dad would put his arm around me and promise me that “tomorrow will be a
better day.” I challenged my father once, “How do you know that?” He said, “I just do.” I
believe him. My great-grandparents believed that, and my grandparents, and so do I.
