The stock market, also called a stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or a company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or a company.Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not rich, who buy stocks and try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money. Of course, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or the company may do badly.

This was true for Howard Hughes. He was one of the richest and most powerful men of his time. He had everything: good looks, success, power, and a lot of money. But he didn't have love or friendship because he couldn，t buy them. All his life he used his money to control everything and everyone around him. In the end, he lost control of everything, even himself.Howard Hughes was born in 1905 in Houston, Texas. His father started the Hughes Tool Company. He was a workaholic (工作狂) and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted. He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them. From his father, Howard learned to be a successful but merciless businessman. Hughes' s mother, Alene also had a big influence on his life. Howard was her only child. She protected him and gave him everything. Unfortunately, Alene had mental problems. She was afraid of germs and diseases. She was obsessedwithHoward's health, and he became obsessed with it too.Alene died when Howard was 16 years old. Two years later his father died. Hughes inherited the Hughes Tool Company. Then he married Ella Rice. He and Ella moved to Los Angeles, California. It was there that Howard Hughes began to become a legend. Hughes began to invest his money in movies.

At one point the woman asked, So, how have you been? And the boy一who could not have been more than seven or eight years old replied, Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately.This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn't find out we were depressed, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don't seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why? Human development depends not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑), many children turn their attention from printed text to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materialsAccording to the author, feeling depressed is ()A. a sure sign of a mental problem in a childB. a mental state present in all humans, including childrenC. something that cannot be avoided in children's mental developmentD. something hardly expected in a young child17、 Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world ()A. through contact with societyB. gradually and under guidanceC. naturally and by biological instinctD. through exposure to social information18、 According to the author, that today's children seem adult-like results from ()A. the widespread influence of televisionB. the poor arrangement of teaching contentC. the fast pace of human intellectual developmentD. the constantly rising standard of living19> What can we know about communication through print for children ()A.
