of course they do. birthday celebrate the day when we were born. besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity(成熟) or so we hope. we all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older. most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well. for instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. for americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. but growing old? that is a different story. growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented american culture. most americans like to look young, act young and feel young. as the old saying goes, “youre young as you feel.” older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. people in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. but americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”. many older americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing. some even experience age discrimination. american sociologist pat moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered in city streets. she was often treated rudely - even cheated and robbed. however, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect. unfortunately, the elderly population in america is increasing fast. why? people are living longer. fewer babies are being born. and middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly. america may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are “in”. marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumers.64. we can infer from the second paragraph that _.a. young people lack experience and wisdomb. american older people often joke about their old agec. american culture is very youngd. different countries have different opinions on the old age65. what does the first sentence in the third paragraph mean?a. the golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical careb. the old in america are leading a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or housingc. the old in america have to retire at the age of 65d. american social security benefits are not good66. what does the underlined word “in” in the last paragraph mean?a. seriousb. coolc. disappearing slowlyd. growing fast67. according to this passage, which of the following statement is true?a. the young are much more respected than the old in america. b. the old are much more respected than the young in america. c. growing old makes people feel proud in america. d. the young are often discriminated in america【参考答案】64-67: dbda阅读理解。heres a familiar version of the boy-meets-girl situation. a young man has at last mastered up courage to invite a dazzling young lady out to dinner. she has accepted his invitation and he is overjoyed. he is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come. when they get to the restaurant, he discovers that this graceful creature is on a diet. she mustnt eat this and she mustnt that. oh, but of course, she doesnt want to spoil his enjoyment. let him by all means eat as much fattening food as he wants: its the surest way to an early grave. they spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again.what a miserable lot dieters are! you can always recognize them from the sour expression on their faces. they spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. they are forever consulting calorie charts; gazing at themselves in mirrors; and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. they spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding bellies and double chins. some wage all-out war on fat. mere dieting is not enough. they exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna baths, being (用拳头连打) pummeled and massaged by weird machines. the really wealthy diet-mongers (商人) pay vast sums for “health cures”. for two weeks they can enter a nature clinic and be starved to death for a hundred pounds a week. dont think its only the middle-aged who go in for these fads (一时流行的风尚) either. many of these bright young things you see are suffering from long-term malnutrition: they are living on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of god. dieters venture to starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable? well, for one thing, theyre always hungry. you cant be hungry and happy at the same time. all the horrible stuffs they eat instead of food leave them permanently dissatisfied. wonder food is a complete food, the advertisement says. “just dissolve a teaspoonful in water” a complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as a juicy steak. and, of course, theyre always miserable because they feel so guilty. hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they quit and devour five huge cream cakes at a sitting. and who can blame them? at least three times a day they are exposed to temptation. what a torture (折磨人的事) it is always watching others tucking into lots of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip tasteless lemon juice!whats all this self-inflicted torture for? saintly people deprive themselves of food to attain a state of grace. unsaintly people do so to attain a state of misery. it will be a great day when all the dieters in the world abandon their slimming courses; when they hold out their plates and demand second helpings!16. what is the best title for this passage?
