lie on my bed and maybe cook up some soup.” for four lonely years, evelyn jones of rockford, illinois, lived friendless and forgotten in one room of a cheap hotel. then, six months ago, she was invited to “the brighter side”rockfords day care center for the elderly. every weekday morning since then, she has left her home to meet nine other old people in a church for a rich program of charity work, trips, games, andmost important of allfriendly companionship. just a few years ago, there were few choices for the elderly between a normal life in their own homes and being totally closed in nursing homes. many of them were sent to rest homes long before they needed full-time care. others like mrs. jones, were left to take care of themselves. but in 1971, the white house conference on aging called for the development of alternatives to care in nursing homes for old people, and since then, government-supported day-care programs like the brighter side have been developed in most big american cities. “this represents a real alternative to the worried institution and makes old people believe they have not left the world of living,” says alice brophy, 64, director of new york citys office for the aging. “they do well at the centers, and i hate it when people describe us as elderly fences.” new yorks 138 centers encourage continuing contact for the aged with the communitys life. the centers serve more than 15,000 members, and volunteer workers are always looking for new ones. if someone doesnt show up at the center for several days in a row, a worker at the center calls to make sure all is well. and although participation in the center is free, those who want to can pay for their lunches. no normal studies have been made of these centers for the elderly, but government officials are enthusiastic. in the future, the public health service will do a study to decide if the programs can receive federal medicare money. and the old people themselves are very happy with the programs. “there is no way,” says evelyn jones, smiling at her new companions at the brighter side, “that i will ever go back to spending my day with all those loses at the hotel.” 41. from the first two paragraphs we know that _. a. mrs. jones is too old to take care of herself b. mrs. jones is in charge of “the brighter side” c. mrs. jones stays in the nursing home with her husband d. mrs. jones wasnt satisfied with the life in the nursing home42. according to the passage, which of the following is true? a. in the rest homes all the old people need full-time care. b. the government is discussing how to support the program.c. day-care centers like the brighter side are popular with the elderly.d. government officials have made normal studies of the centers for the elderly. 43. in the opinion of alice brophy, _. a. the old people are glad to work in the day-care centersb. the institutions are worried about the safety of the elderlyc. the elderly shouldnt work without being paid in the center.d. outside the brighter side the volunteers dont work for the old 44. the underlined word (para 3) “this” refers to _. a. the day care program b. the white house conference on agingc. the public health serviced. new york citys office for the aging45. how does the writer seem to feel about day-care programs for the elderly? a. he is opposed to the program.b. he is in favor of the program. c. he thinks nursing homes are better. d. he doesnt say anything about the program.bboys schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and are more likely to get involved in activities such as art, dance and music, according to research released today.far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressivemasculinity (阳刚之气) in which students either sinkor swim, the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure, the us study says.boys at single sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotionalexpressiveness, rather than feeling they had to follow the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.the report, presented at a conferenceof the international boys schools coalition in london attended by the heads of private and state schools, goes against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.the headmaster of eton, tony little, warned that boys were being failed by the british education system because it had become too focusedon girls. he criticised teachers for failing to recognise that boys are actually more emotionalthan girls, despite the fact that girls “turn on the waterworks”.the research argued that boys often performbadly in mixed schools because they become depressed when their female classmates do better earlier in verbalskills and reading, because the left side of the brain develops faster in girls. they also felt they had to be “cool” rather than diligent.but in single sex schools teachers are able to tailorlessons to boys learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to competein teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, education expert, abigail james, of the university of virginia.teachers could encourageboys to enjoy reading and writing with specifically “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appealto them. boys in boys schools “loved” to pen poemsbecause they enjoyed the “structure in poems”, james said. because, the researchers say, boys generally have better spatial skills, more sharpvision, learn best through touch, are more impulsive (冲动的)and more physically active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around, with this natural impulsivenot seen as disorderly. “boys in mixed schools view classical music as girlish and prefer the modernstylein which violence and sexism are major themes,” james wrote.single sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to obey a stereotypegained from the mediaby girls that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “in the present sexualised atmosphere popularin mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understandthemselves well enough to know what that means,” the report said.46. according to the passage, in mixed schools _. a. boys have to learn to be strong like real menb. teachers often encourage boys in spite of their poor performancec. girls tend to laugh at boys because boys are disorderly in the classroomd. boys and girls take an active part in cultural and artistic activities together 47. in the opinion of tony little, the headmaster of eton, _. a. teachers are strict with boys in single sex schools b. boys had better hide their emotion in mixes schoolsc. the british education system is not in the favor of boysd. in private schools boys do better when taught with girls 48. which of the following words has similar meaning to the underlined word “tailor” (para. 6)? a. teachb. order c. measure d. design49. in single sex schools, _. a. girls are often absent from classb. teachers develop the left side of the studentsc. boys have the freedom to cry if they feel unhappyd. students dont have to obey the principles of schools 50. the writer develops the passage by _. a. telling stories and talesb. making comparison and contrast c.offering figures and factsd. giving analysis and examplescwhat most people dont realize is that wealth isnt the same as income. if you make $ 1 million a year and spend $ 1 million, youre not getting wealthier, youre just living high. wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend. the most successful accumulators of wealth spend far less than they can afford on houses, cars, vacations and entertainment. why? because these things offer little or no return. the wealthy would rather put their money into investments or their businesses. its an attitude. millionaires understand that when you buy a luxury house, you buy a luxury lifestyle too. your property taxes skyrocket, along with the cost of public facilities and insurance, and the prices of nearby services, such as grocery stores, tend to be higher. the rich mans attitude can also be seen in his car. many drive old ordinary cars. sam walton, billionaire founder of the wal mart store, inc., drove a pickup truck. most millionaires measure success by net worth (资本净值), not income. instead of taking their money home, they plow as much as they can into their businesses, stock and other investments. why? because the government doesnt tax wealth; it taxes income you bring home for consumption, the more the government taxes. the person who piles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments, not consumption. all the while, of course, hes reinvesting his earnings from investments and watching his net worth increase. thats the attitude as well. the best wealth-builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice. those who spend heavily on cars, boats and buses, ive found, tend to spend little on investment advice. those who spend less on the luxuries are usually more willing to pay top dollar for good legal and financial advice. the self-made rich develop clear goals for their money. they may wish to retire early, or they may want to leave an estate to their children. the goals vary, but two things are consistent: they have a dollar figure in mind-the amount they want to save by age 50, perhaps and they work continuously toward that goal. one thing may surprise you. if you make wealth not just income your goal, the luxury house youve been dreaming about wont seem so inviting. youll have the attitude. 51. according to the passage, which of the following is true? a. sam walton lives high because he is a billionaire. b. certainly high income makes one rich and happy. c. many people think wealth is just what one has got. d. wealth is judged by how much a millionaire spends. 52. in the authors opinion, those who spend money on luxury houses and cars _. a. live high but have little saved b. live an admirable and happy life c. can show that they are among the richd. have accumulated wealth in another way 53. the rich who put their money into business _. a. have the goal to develop their company b. get much in return to build their wealth c. are not interested in luxury houses and cars d. spend money without being taxed by the government 54. from the passage we know that _. a. wealth builders have little in common b. rich people dont purchase anything at all c. accumulators of wealth work until the age of 50 d. the government doesnt
