Now midaged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. Thats because we group people by age. We put our three year olds together in day care center, our 13yearolds in school and sports activities, and our 80 year olds in senior citizen homes. Why? That We live away from the old gets many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes its so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most. Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young. A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. “My children have never been less lonely,” the reporter said. The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby. She was immediately surrounded. People who hadnt gotten out of bed in a week suddenly rang for wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child. Babies have astonishing power to comfort and cure. Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it, “my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.” Grandchildren speak of attention they dont get from worried parents. “My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down,” one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting.56. Now in an American family, people can find that _. A. children never live with their parents B. not all working people live with their parents C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents57. The reason why old people are left alone may be that _. A. the old dont like to live in a big family B. the young cant get enough money to support the old C. different generations have different lifestyles D. the old are too weak to live with the young58. The fact that the reporter told us shows that _. A. old people in America lead a hard lifeB. old people in America enjoy banana bread C. she had no time to take are of her children D. old people are easy to get along with59. Seeing a baby, the old people get excited because _. A. they had never seen a baby before B. the baby was clever and beautiful C. the baby brought them the hope for life D. the baby s mother would take care of them60. Why do children not get attention from their parents? A. Because they often make trouble and make their parents disappointed. B. Because their parents are too busy to take care of them. C. Because their parents have to take care of their grandparents. D. Because their parents have been out of work for a long timeBA few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C. I saw many of our nations treasures, and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks in the streets.Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand reached out in front of me. In a natural reaction, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my small money and placed it in her hand. I didnt even look at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I dont want your money. I just need help finding the post office.” Immediately, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice(偏见)I judged another person simply for what I thought she was.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, cashier, mechanic and driver among many other jobs, and finally I became a network engineer. In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at age 17 I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school, he would end up like me.But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the street of Washington D.C. cured me of my blindness. She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open.61. When the author came to America at first _. A. he usually did some work with a little payment. B. he used to beg for some money on the street. C. he lived a comfortable life as a network engineer. D. he was respected by others all the time.62. According to the passage, what did the author regret? A. That he gave all his change to the blind woman. B. The way he treated the blind woman. C. That he came to Washington D.C. for a visit. D. That he didnt tell the woman the way to the post office.63. The father mentioned in the passage wanted _. A. to encourage his son to make a living by himself B. his son to become a busboy in the future C. his son to work harder at school D. to remind his son to depend on himself at school64. We can infer all of the following statements from the passage EXCEPT _. A. He disliked being bothered by beggars. B. He was delighted to give away his money to beggars. C. He once suffered a lot. D. The blind woman didnt beg for money at that time.65. What does the author want to tell us through this story?A. Dont dream up ways to get what you want. B. Money is the root of all evils. C. An easy life makes a person forgetful. D. Be good to others all the time. C Priscilla- Ouchidas “energy efficient” house turned out to be a horrible dream. When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $ 100,000, three-bedroom home in California. Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks, the house was equipped with small double paned(双层玻璃) windows and several other energy-saving features. Problems began as soon as the couple moved in, however. Priscillas eyes burned .Her throat was constantly dry. She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep. It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.Experts finally traced the cause of her illness. The level of formaldehyde(甲醛) gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers. The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall-to-wall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nations drive to save energy. The problem itself isnt new. “The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along，”says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland. “Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones. Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didnt worry much about unsealed cracks. Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour. As a result, the polluted air gathered in most households seldom built up to dangerous levels.66. It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas house_.A. is well worth the money spent on its constructionB. is almost perfect from the point of energy conservationC. failed to meet energy conservation standardsD. was designed and constructed in a scientific way67. What makes the Ouchidas new house a horrible dream?A. Lack of fresh air. B. Poor quality of building materials.C. Gas leakage in the kitchen. D. The newly painted walls.68. The word “accentuate”(Para.3) most probably means“_”.A. relieve B. accelerate C. worsen D. improve69.Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?A. Because indoor cleanliness was not emphasized.B. Because energy used to be inexpensive.C. Because environmental protection was given top priority.D. Because they were technically unavoidable.70. This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled _A. Energy conservation B. House Building Crisis C. Air Pollution Indoors D. Traps in Building Construction DThe Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Wilson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture. Charles Wilson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The worlds first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as disp
