Part 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (Each item: 2) Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be difficult to handle. If they get excited or upset then they may become more confused and more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary. Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and direct. Good morning, Mother. This is Fiona, your daughter. Its eight oclock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs. When the elderly person makes confused statements, e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct him in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: You dont work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes? We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different boxes. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, addresses or shopping lists could help in individual cases. 71.When do elderly people respond best?A. When they are calm and unhurried. B. When people tell them to be calm and unhurried.C. When their environment is calm and unhurried. D. When others are calm and unhurried.72.What should you encourage old people to do?A. To do as little as possible. B. To do as much as they can.C. To help others when needed. D. To be patient and not get upset.73.How should we provide information to old people with failing memories?A. By being helpful. B. By being direct. C. By being sensitive. D. By being obvious.74.What is the purpose of information provided on such things as signposts?A. To help us organize and direct our behavior. B. To help us make use of newspapers.C. To help us correct other people. D. To help us understand statements.75.Besides diaries, what else can help old people remember significant coming events?A. Labels. B. Reminder boards. C. Information cards. D. Photos.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.Another example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as beri-beri (脚气病), which used to affect large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice. In the early years of the 20th century, a Dutch scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was transmitted (传送) by a germ (细菌). He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on rice which had had the external husk (壳) removed from the grain, called white rice. It was thought this would be easier for weak, sick people to digest. Eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on scraps (碎片) from the patients plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to isolate the germ he thought was causing the disease, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who ruled that the huskless polished rice was too good for chickens. The chickens should be fed cheap rice with the external covering still on the grain, called brown rice. Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating brown rice somehow prevented or cured beri-berieven that a lack of some ingredient in the husk might be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent beri-beri was shortly afterwards isolated from rice husks and is now known as Vitamin B. The white rice, though more expensive, was keeping alive the disease the hospital was trying to cure. 76.From the context, what do you think the author mentions in the paragraph that is just before this first paragraph?A. One example of the importance of vitamins. B. One example of the benefits of eating healthy foods.C. One example of the dangers of a restricted diet. D.

Everyone in her family was thereher children, her grandchildren, and her new great-grandson, just one month old. Her whole family had come to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival (节日). Two days after the Harvest Moon Festival, Yinlan died peacefully in her sleep. Her family was sad but at the same time grateful. They felt happy that they had been able to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival with her one last time. Everyone said it was remarkable that Yinlan had died just two days after the holiday. Actually, the timing of Yinlans death was not remarkable at all. Recently sociologists (社会学家) studied the death rate among elderly Chinese women in California. They discovered that the death rate drops 35 percent before the Harvest Moon Festival and then rises 35 percent. Sociologists beli
