When he was young, my wife and I took him to see so many doctors and got different kinds of treatments. But still, he couldnt walk like a normal kid.So he was laughed at by his peers for his walking style. His tears burnt our eyes like sulphuric acid (硫酸 ). Then, he became afraid of going to school. He wouldnt go anymore.One night, my wife had a breakdown and shouted at him, “I tell you, my kid, you might be like this forever. You are a freak in other peoples eyes, and perhaps it would never change. But in my eyes, in your dads eyes, you are not a freak! You are not! Even if you are, we love you and we will love you forever!” My son spoke nothing for two days. He didnt eat or sleep. We could read he was hurt. We hoped something wonderful would fall in our family. On the third morning, he struggled to walk to my car, with his school bag in his hand of course. He raised his head high and hugged me, saying “want to go to school. Nothing will beat me.”You know, from then on, he was never afraid of being mocked or despised anymore. If he couldnt avoid these looks, he chose to look at them in the eyes. Later, something nice really happened and my son went to MIT. When he was asked how he managed to bear the pressure, he said, “Because of my parents.” My dear fellows, if you care too much about how other people look at you or what their opinions are, you will never bee what you want to be.24.

The boy owed his success to his parents and was grateful to them.27. From the passage we can say the boy is_.A. confident and outgoing B. brave and hard-working C. wise and easy-going D. determined and braveCA serious problem for todays society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a pany must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a mercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a fortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some bination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.28. What is the writers main purpose in writing this article?A. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.C. To point out the need for government support for old people.D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.29. What does the underlined word “viable” most probably mean?A. Impossible. B. Practical. C. Useful. D. Successful.30. According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years.C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.D. Make available pensions for those who have retired.31. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.C. Being independent should be the goal of most old people.D. There is no single solution to the problems of the old.DThe worlds first robot police officer has started working. Its name is RoboCop and it went into service for the Dubai Police earlier this week.
