28、her newspaper column. She had been the director of a school and a camp before she retired, but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay.

29、esses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problemsmostly problems with communication. Mrs.Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through

30、the years, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject: old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called “Sixty Plus”which focused on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problem

31、s with being misunderstood. Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people,too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visi

32、t. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young peoples music and to watch the most popular television shows. “Its important to know something about your grandchildrens world,” says Mrs. Douglas. “That means questioning an

33、d listeningand listening is not what old people do best,”she continues,“Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters, teenagers, or young adults. Never tell them that they are wrong. Dont give them your opinion. They have been taught that they sh

34、ould have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well.”56.

Old people have a lot to learn from the young.C. Old people shouldnt question the young when listening to

38、them.D. Old people should be respected by the young.BOn the whole, it's not something we parents shout about, but one in four of us does it. Hiring private tutors for our children is now widespread.“It's expensive, but worth it,” says Ashan Sabri, whose daughter Zarreen,18,is having tuition

39、in biology and chemistry in preparation for A-levels this summer. “My husband and I tried to tutor her at home, but we found all our knowledge was out of date and we were only confusing Zarreen. We also tried a group revision course but all the children were sitting in a room for different kinds of

40、exams. On the whole, we think one-to-one tuition works best.”The real question is: does tutoring do any good?“It's not the magic bullet,”says Professor Judith Ireson, “It's still up to the child to do the learning. If he or she isn't interested, then sending them to a private tutor won&#

41、39;t do any good. However, we did find that students who had private tuition in mathematics during the two years before GCSE achieved on average just under half a grade higher than students who did not have a tutor.”In which case, surely it's time to break open the Champagne(香槟)? Not necessarily

42、, says Elaine Tyrrell, head of The Rowans School.“While we recommend private tutoring for a few children whose first language isn't English, we don't encourage it for the others, With the level of education they get here, children really ought to be able to pass the entrance exams without an

43、y extra teaching. Our worry is that they might just scrape in with the help of last-minute tutoring, but, once they actually get to that school, they won't be able to manage.”But Mylene Curtis, owner of Fleet Tutors, one of the biggest tutoring agencies in the country, holds a different view.“In

44、 some respects, the hurdles children have to leap in order to get into these schools are set at a higher level than the reality,” says Curtis. “We often find that, once a child has got into a school, the standard of work isn't as high as feared. The trick is to do well enough in the exam to win

45、a place.”61. The passage is most probably written by .A. a parent B. an experienced teacher C. a famous educator D. a high school student62. In Ashan Sabris opinion, which method is most suitable for her daughter? A. Taking different kinds of exams B. Taking her at home by herself C. Finding a priva

46、te tutor to help her D. Taking part in group revision courses63. According to Elaine Tyrrell, private tutoring is . A. effective in language learning but not for exams B. effective for foreign students but not for local students C. unnecessary for most cases and may harm the study of future students

47、 D. unnecessary in secondary school but helpful for future study 64. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Fleet Tutors and the Rowans school are competitors. B. Entrance exams to schools are too difficult for most students. C. Further study isnt as difficult as first thought. D. Pri

48、vate tuition is worth the financial investment.65. What attitude does the author hold towards home tutoring? A. Critical B. Supportive C. Unconcerned D. UncertainCWeekend getaways and romantic dinners used to be sweet escapes from the daily working life. Nowadays, vacations are often interrupted by

49、the ding of an instant message on a wireless laptop. Thats not news to modern workers, many of whom may just be getting back from a long winter break during which they worked more than in years past. One-fifth of Americans carry a laptop on vacation. Countless more carry cell phones, many of which c

50、an be used to check company e-mail.And why not? With wireless coverage extending, staying connected is simple. Recently, Jet Blue Airways announced a trial(尝试)of free e-mail and instant messaging services for passengers on one of its aircraft. Other airlines are expected to follow suit (仿效). But the

51、res a hidden cost to companies: employee burnout. Using work cell phones and checking company e-mail at the poolside is not a vacation.“If I were a manager, I would insist that my employees leave their cell phones at work during their vacation and not check their e-mail while away,” said Dov Eden, a

52、n organizational psychologist. “In the long run, the employee will be better rested and better able to perform his or her job.”A nine-year study of more than 12,000 middle-aged men at high risk of heart disease showed that participants who vacationed more had a lower risk of dying than the vacation-

53、deprived(剥夺). In a nationwide survey, nearly half of the 2,000 adults questioned said stress has increased in the past five years, with 75 percent ranking money and work as the leading causes of stress.One way to beat work stress could be to work from home or another remote location. This alternativ

54、e work arrangement is a win-win set-up. Telecommuting（远程办公）has an overall beneficial effect, because the arrangement provides employees with more control over how they do their work. Telecommuters reported more job satisfaction, less stress and improved work-family balance. 66. According to the first paragraph, Americans carry a cell phone or a laptop on
