The idea is simple, but revolutionary - combin

10、ing a residential（居民的） home for the elderly with a kindergarten in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting, gardening, and caring for the pets, which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy

11、 reading or telling stories to the children, and if a child is feeling sad or tired, they can always find someone for comfort.The advantages are great for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more of free afternoon, and enjoy themselves because someone has time for them.

12、 They also learn that old people are not different or frightening in any way. And of course, they see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take m

13、ore interest in their appearance too. And the staff (员工) are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of 3assistants to help with the children. Nowadays there is less and less contact (接触) between the old and the young. “There a

14、re many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for ageing relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old

15、people who have no contact with children. And more and more old people are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who badly need more support. Its a major problem in many societies.Thats why intergenerational(两代间的) programmes, designed to bring the old and the

16、 young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO and other local and international organizations. One successful scheme (方案) in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as writing lett

17、ers, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors.But it isnt only the individuals concerned who gain from intergenerational activities. The advantages to society are great too. If older people and the yout

18、h of today can understand and accept each other, there will be more harmony(和谐) in a community. 21. The new concept that the writer read about in the newspaper refers to _.A. allowing old people to help take care of childrenB. encouraging children to visiting old peopleC. requiring more assistants t

21、not find a job. He tried hard and pestered (纠 缠 )his relatives, but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think

22、that he had no future at all.“Why dont you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. Youd better find a way of opening it.”“But what can I do？ ”“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. “See what people want; then give it to

23、them, and they will pay for it.”Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit. A few months later

24、, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good： in the wrong position， too expensive or with some other snag(障 碍 ) But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate（ 土 地 ， 地区 ） where there were plenty o

29、e.Blurring(使 变 得 模 糊 不 清 ) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.5“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Face-book, they should not hug or allow patients to call th

30、em by their first names.” regulators have warned. “Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists(肿 瘤 科 医 生 ) under the age of 40, found 59 percent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they liked. Sixty percent of respond

31、ents(调 查 对 象 ) said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a persons care.Lesley Fallowfield, of Brighton and Sussex Medical Schoo1, said: “Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges.

32、Young oncologists have to master dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening disease; conveying the true prognosis(预 断 ); discussing the complexity of modern treatments; and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side-effects of treatment, and likely treatment aims.”But

33、 she said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of the Internet world are more likely to fall victim to(成 为 .的 牺 牲 品 /受害 者 ) blurring the professional boundaries（ 界 限 ） with patients.She said: “The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your f

34、irst name, is that quickly the relationship can become confused as a social one rather than a professional one.

41、nication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indian University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate

42、with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their ser

43、ver reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “Its not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” say Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that peo
