to feel surprised. they are a flash mob(暴民). who are they? are they mobs? dont be confused by their name. actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disappear. they are usually organized with the help of the internet or other digital communications networks. the messages may be sent to friends, who send to more people. at a predetermined time, they gather and perform some activities such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds. then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason. bill wasik, senior editor of harpers magazine, organized the first flash mob in manhattan in may 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on june 3, 2003. wasik claimed that he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”. flash mob gatherings can

died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. in fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. in all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. in hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. in times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived, they could have another child. in most contemporary(当代的) societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. we have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. in the united states many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.when older people become senile (衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. in the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. to meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent (疗养的) hospitals have been built. these are often profit making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. while a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping (倒垃圾的) grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel.6. the author believes that the population explosion results from _.a. an increase in birthrates b. the industrial developmentc. a decrease in death rates d. human beings cultural advances 7. it can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures _.a. it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could not workb. the survival of infants was less important than that of their parents in times of starvationc. old people were given the task of imparting the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generationsd. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life 8. according to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the united states is true?a. many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.b. minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.c. when they reach a certain age, compulsory retirement is necessary and beneficial.d. with the growing inflation, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever.9. the phrase “this need” in paragraph 3 refers to _. a. prolonging the dying old peoples livesb. reducing the problems caused by the retired peoplec. making profits through caring for the sick or weak peopled. taking care of the sick or weak people10. which of the following best describes the authors attitude toward most of the nursing homes and convalescent hospitals?a. sympathetic. b. approving. c. optimistic. d. critical.【参考答案】610、cbada 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项。just seven years

allowance(零用钱). the purpose is to let them learn from experience at an age when financial （财政的；财务的；金融的)mistakes are not very costly. in any case, parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money. at first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. if so, theyll learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget（预算）.
