An assisted living center is a residential alternative that promotes maximum independence for each resident through a combination of supportive services and assistance. The definition of assisted living from one state to another may vary and so will the cost and types of services. Assisted living centers vary in size, style and the optional services they may offer.

This may be partly because the economic situation in America has worsened. When at the movies, people forget their troubles, as they get involved in the story on the screen. Also, directors have recently been producing pictures that large numbers of people want to see. Americans in the millions are returning to their love affair with the movies. Motion picture industry experts see two main factors responsible for this: an increased need by Americans to escape from economic worries and a large number of new movies with broad audience appeal.Movie makers admit that their rising popularity is partly the result of poor economic conditions, which traditionally bring an increase in theater attendance. “When people are fearful about the future, they look for escape,” comments Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America. “In a shaded theater, with a 65-foot screen, you lose yourself for two and a half hours and people find this beneficial.” 55. What did movie makers worry about before? A. That no one would go to the cinema. B. That movies couldnt be a business any more. C. That their movies might be played on television. D. That people preferred watching TV to seeing films.56. Why are so many people going to see movies now? A. Because people now have much more money. B. Because people have troubles. C. Because people wanted to escape from real life. D. Because watching movies is now much cheaper than watching TV.57. The main topic of American movies is about . A. economy B. loveC. traditionD. not mentioned58. According to Jack Valenti, why have movies become popular?A. Because Americas economy is bad and people want to escape from their economic worries.B. Because a large number of new movies have broad audience appeal.C. Because the directors have cut the budget in making movies.D. Because the films are worth seeing and are excellent motion pictures.COn the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldnt do it. He asked, “Why not?” I paused, and then I said, “Because Im educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).” He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Dont ever say that again. Someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said. It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again. But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.” One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?” He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.” “But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? Im slower than most kids.” “It doesnt matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades dont determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.” “I want to buy my mother a house.” “It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away. “Mr Washington?” “What do you want now?” “Uh, Im the one, sir. One day youre going to hear my name. Im the one, sir.” School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life. Years later, I produced five programs on public television. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He said, “May I speak to Mr Brown, please?” “Oh, Mr Washington, is that you?” “Yes, its me. You were the one, werent you?” “Yes, sir, I was.”59. What does Mr Washington mean by saying “Someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality”? A. You neednt have the same opinion as others.B. You should believe what other people say.C. What other people say about you may not be correct.D. The doctor made a mistake.60. How many years did it take the author to finish the tenth grade? A. Ten years. B. Eleven years. C. Twelve years. D.

There is a very simple reason: We live on the earth, and it is the only place we can live on right now, as we cannot live in space yet. If we treat the earth like a garbage dump, it will become dirty and unlivable. If we treat it well by being eco-conscious, the earth will stay clean and suitable for living, for ourselves and for our children. What is “being eco-conscious”? Being eco-conscious means being aware of your actions, and what you do to the environment. For example, you might think, “Using hairspray is great for fixing my hair.” However, if you are eco-conscious, you would ask, “Does this hairspray have CFCs in it? Could I be destroying the earth by using hairspray?”How can I be eco-conscious? You can find many simple ways to help the environment in your everyday life. When you go shopping, bring a bag or a basket with you. Please try not to use plastic bags as much as you can. You can go to work by bike or on foot if it is not far from your home. You can put your rubbish into different bags, which makes it convenient for recycling. You can eat less chewing gum. You can use your own chopsticks instead of the disposable ones in your company or in restaurants. You can put batteries in a special box instead of in garbage bins. You can use the water which has been used for washing vegetables or fruits to clean the floor and the toilet or to water your garden. You can turn off the decorative lights in your room when watching TV. You can turn down your air conditioner by one degree, as this will cause a 10% reduction in energy use. You can use recycled paper. Every ton of recycled office paper saves 380 gallons of oil. You can also use recycled glass instead of glass made from raw materials. This will reduce the related air pollution by 20%, and the related water pollution by 50%. Please believe that. If you do a little, it will make a big difference.63.
