Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an announcement, whether its the recorded message or the guards message, few people listen to it, because

12、its often quite dull or hard to understand. This one was different. I noticed that other passengers appeared to be listening, too. Not only that, everyone was smiling!Why was so much attention being paid to this message? As best I can recall, the guard said something along these lines, “Good Morning

15、aid “Were you the guard on the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith?” The guard seemed a bit stunned at first, replying, “Yes, yyyyes.” “Well, I really appreciate your announcement. Thank you for your extremely good message, which gave me and the other passengers such a good start to the day. Please keep doing it

16、.” I said.There are two messages for me in what happened that day. Firstly, when people are happy in their work it shows in what that do and say.

29、proved standard of living. As is the case with more and more developed countries, China faces an aging society. People are living longer and having fewer children. Therefore, many Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents. B

30、ut few realize that a problem is likely to happen ahead.The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries. The Information Office of the State Council, Chinas cabinet, issued（发行） a white paper on measures China has been taking to help its elderly population. The p

31、aper said Chinas population entered the aging period at the end of the 20th century and the proportion of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 percent of the entire population. By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the population, acc

32、ording to the white paper.An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem concerns every aspect of society. It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problems. It also challenges the labor force su

But last year Wangs father suffered from a serious illness and afterward Wang began to feel the pressure on his sh

34、oulders.After his father recovered, Wang opened a bank account for each parent and put away some money in the account every month to prepare for future uncertainties. In addition, he has to save money every month to provide for his sons future education. “Im now breaking my back to support my family

35、: saving pensions for the parents, my sons education funds, and living costs.”Wang also bought some commercial old-age insurance for himself. “We have to take precautions（预防） before it is too late, and many of my colleagues share the same view,” he said.1、Which of the following is not caused by an a

39、n I signed up for computer programming, I expected to learn about coding (编程). However, what I didnt expect was that I would also learn how to build strong friendships.Just before I went there, I didnt know what to expect in the school, feeling quite at a loss. A sense of uncertainty about my future

40、 was flooding over me. On the first day, the students awkwardly moved around at the opening ceremonies. Although it is embarrassing to admit, I hadnt been able to succeed in my friendship in the past because I was too focused on myself. This time, I got rid of the desire to share personal stories an

41、d instead was eager to ask others about themselves.After sunset on the second night, I heard three girls trying to recall the schedule for an upcoming museum trip. After effective communication, I knew they were Bree, Megan and Avery. Bree and Avery were in environmental science， and Megan was study

42、ing mathematics.We had a lot in common among us four, such as our love for movies, which strengthened our friendships. Meanwhile, we were able to introduce each other to new activities. Bree introduced us to anime (日本动漫). Enthusiastically, Megan encouraged us to play tennis. Avery and I kept the oth

43、er two motivated to work out at the gym. The fact that none of us was particularly skilled with equipment resulted in shared laughter almost every day.After four weeks, I left with the ability to successfully code an educational computer game. More importantly, I also left with knowledge about the c

44、ode of friendship - the fact that I could make more friends in a month by showing interest in them than I could in a year by trying to attract others interest in me.1、The author went to the Governors School to originally learn how to _.Acode computer programsBmake friends with othersCdevelop her per

The Buried Giant, Ishiguros seventh novel, and his first in a deca

49、de, is as risky as it is attractive. It is a sort historical fantasy novel filled with dragons and knights (骑士）丨It is a sort of the surface, but it is also deeply human, rooted in themes fundamental to the human experience: love, history, and the ability to remember it all.JANE GAYDUK: How would you

50、 cope with the idea of memorya huge theme in The Buried Giant if you were to set a story like that in the age where everything is online?KAZUO ISHIGURO: One of the questions that attract me right nowI suppose these are questions that arose in my mind as I was writing The Buried Giant, but there was

51、no room in the book itself for exploring themwould be, where do the memory banks in a modem society exist? And I think that question has gotten really complicated now. Maybe in simpler societies such as the one I describe in The Buried Giant I dont think those societies were simple but perhaps they

52、were simpler in terms of this particular questionyou could point to your living memory, what the oldest people still remember about what happened, literally what is handed down.JANE GAYDUK: Do you think this changes the nature of history? It used to be written down by a select few people who bad the

53、 power to shape stories, but now its almost like every individual participates in shaping history and thought.KAZUO ISHIGURO: If you leave the official account of a nations history, a communitys history, to just a handful of people, I think thats a more dangerous situation. Particularly if its a han

54、dful of people, who are usually the upper levels, who could write the history books and then have those history books taught in schools. Of course skilled, disciplined, and talented historians have always been vital to a society, and I think theyll continue to be vital to a society, but in some ways

55、 I feel encouraged by the fact that so many ordinary people now have the ability to put down their impressions; at least theres the potential that their voices will be assessed and heard.Just as an example, when I was researching The Remains of the Day, which is about an English butler (管家），I assume

56、d Id find a lot of accounts by people who had worked in service because thats what an enormous proportion of people in Britain did between the First and Second World War. And I was amazed to find almost . There were scholarly books written by academics about the history of boilers, hut actual person

57、al accounts written by people like that were almost zero. I guess its because people of that class didnt feel it was their place to write things down, and they probably didnt have the tools or the time, or perhaps the education even to write things down, and so considerable human experience disappea

58、red. I think there is something encouraging about people being able to record things everywhere, but with such a massive amount of data, there need to be very complicated means of controlling it and deciding which becomes the things that determine the way we remember what we experienced.JANE GAYDUK:

59、 On the topic of finishing books, did you write past the official ending of The Buried Giant or was that your natural end? I felt the conclusion was kind of a cliffhanger.KAZUO ISHICURO: I dont really think of the ending as a cliffhanger, but maybe its more ambiguous than I intended. That is the end

60、ing I always wanted, though. With all my books, Im aiming for a certain emotion to come over with the book as a whole and usually that is the emotion ending should deliver. I cant deliver that emotion in an earned, proper way unless the rest of the book has worked, so Im always very aware that the e
