we live away from the old for many reasons. young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of aging and dying. it is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. sometimes its so hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most. fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. and we have discovered that they often save the young. a reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. at first her children were disappointed. but the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit. soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. my children have never been less lonely, the reporter said. the young, in turn, save the old. once i was in a rest home (养老院) when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was immediately surrounded. people who hadnt gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child. babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure. grandparents are a special case. they give their grandchildren a feeling of security (安全) and continuity. as my husband put it, my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end. grandchildren speak of attention they dont get from worried parents. my parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down, one friend said. a teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting. 51. now in an american family, people can find that _. a. children never live with their parents b. all working people dont live with their parents c. aged people are supported by their grand-children d. grandchildren are supported by their grand-parents52. what may be the reason why old people are left alone ? a. the old dont like to live in a big family b. the young cant get enough money to support the old c. different generations have different lifestyles d. the old are too weak to live with the young53. the fact the reporter told us shows that _. a. old people in america lead a hard life. b. old people in america enjoy banana bread c. she had no rime to take care of her children d. old people are easy to get along with54. seeing a baby, the old people got excited because _. a. they had never seen a baby before b. the baby was clever and beautiful c. the baby brought them the image of life d. the babys mother would take care of them55. why are some children quieter, calmer and more trusting?
