Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”. 21. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _.A. their earlier experience of feeling lonelyB. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countriesC. the common worry about their incomeD. the geographical distance between parents and children22. If young people go abroad, _.A. they do not hold to the value of duty at allB. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parentsD. they believe what they actually do is right 23. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _.A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome” BMany children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money). The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, 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 they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget (预算). Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works. Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. You have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest. Compounding works by paying interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot, but over time it adds up. 24. Parents give their children allowances in order to _. A. show off their wealth of family B. let them make more money C. learn the value of money D. help children manage family finance25. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The time to give allowances. B. The way to spend allowances. C. the amount of allowances given to children. D. Considerations taken to give allowances.26. Why are parents advised to offer young children allowances strictly as planned? A. To help children learn to make a budget. B. To have children save money for larger costs. C. To let children make fewer mistakes. D. To give them more allowances next time.27. What does the author intend to tell the readers? A. The methods of limiting allowances. B. The advice on a better family budget. C. Teaching children to use allowances wisely. D. Offering allowances to children properly.CThe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a womans life spent in caring for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties ,and would be likely to have seven or eight children, four or five of whom lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has to take care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in womens life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school- leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry older, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.28. At what age did most women marry around the 1890 according to the passage? A. At about twenty-five B. In their earl fifties C. At the age of fifteen D. At any age from fifteen to forty-five29. What happened to an ordinary family in about 1900? A. The youngest child could live to fifteen. B. Four of five children died after they were five. C. Seven or eight children lived to be more than five. D. Some children died when the were very young.30. When she was over fifty , a late nineteenth-century mother _. A. was usually expected to die fairly soon B. would expect to work until she died C. would be healthy enough to take up paid jobs D. was less like to find a job even if she wanted to 31. What do we know from the passage? A. Husbands and wives share equal responsibilities at home. B. More and more women are looked down upon by husbands. C. Today women prefer to get married rather than get jobs. D. A husband plays a greater part in looking after the children.DMore than 20 Chinese and American experts discovered that young people of both countries are facing the same problems of economic and social pressures and lack of confidence. Wayne Meisel, director of the campus Outreach opportunity League of Minnesota University, said that under economic pressure American young people have to work hard and most students have to take part-time work in order to support themselves. In these circumstances, he said, young people lack confidence, which was not the case in the 1960s when young people thought themselves capable of doing anything. In spite of the different conditions in China, Li Xuequan, director of the higher education section of the All-China Youth Federation, said Chinese young people are also facing economic pressure and are worried about inflation (通货膨胀) and corruption (腐败). In order to solve these problems, the Chinese and American experts agreed that youth organization should call on the whole of society to create favorable conditions for the healthy growth of young people, as well as to encourage them to meet the urgent needs of society. Meisel said that since last year he has sent letters of “challenge to youth” to many young people, urging them to commit themselves to meeting such needs as feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, caring for the lonely and sick, serving the elderly and preserving the environment. The letter says: “Through the service, we touch the lives of others and enrich our own.”32. What is the main factor that leads to young peoples lack of confidence in both countries? A. their education B. their laziness C. economic pressure D. part -time jobs33. What is the possible situation in the 1960s? A. Young people lacked confidence as well. B. Young people were quite confident in America. C. Young people in America were able to do anything well. D. Young Chinese people were very confident.34. The word “commit” in the sixth paragraph probably means “_”. A. keep B. devote C. help D. express35. The passage is mainly about _ in the two countries. A. lack of confidence of the young people B. some problems of the young people and ways to solve them C. approaches to touching the lives of others D. challenges of the young people 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer._36_ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. _37_Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure._38_ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “_39_ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. _40_A.
