And one of the more impressive of them is the senior citizen discount. Anyone who has reached a certain ag
32、ein some cases as low as 55-is automatically entitled to plenty of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial life. Eligibility（资格） is determined not by ones need but by the date on ones birth certificate. Practically the discounts have become a routine part of many businesses-as common as
33、 color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners. People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them； yet, millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent（有支付能力的） . Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone u
34、nder 30 freely offer them to older Americans. The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that “elderly” and “needy” are synonymous（同义的） . Perhaps that once was true, but today, to be sure, there is economic variety within the elderly, and most of them arent poor. It is impossible to
35、 determine the effect of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a stimulus to income. But in other cases the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they directly annoy some politicians and scholars who consider it a coming
36、 conflict between the generations. Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involves a transfer of resources from the young to the old. Employment is another point. Supported by laws and court decisions, more and more older Americans are
37、 refusing the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job-thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers. Far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a powerful economic privilege（特权） to a group with millions of members who dont
38、need them. It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others. Senior citizen discounts only enrich the myth that older people cant take care of themselves and need special treatment； and they threaten the creation of a new myth
39、, that the elderly ale ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other age groups. Senior citizen discounts are the heart of the very thing older Americans are fighting against-discrimination by age. 【小题 1】 We learn from the first paragraph that . A offering senior citizen
40、discounts has become routine commercial practice B senior citizen discounts have enabled many old people to live a good life C giving senior citizen discounts has increased the market for the elderly D senior citizens have to show their birth certificates to get a discount 【小题 2】 The reason to give
41、the senior citizen discount is that . A the elderly need humane help from society B businesses should do something for society in return C old people are entitled to special treatment for their contribution to society D the senior discounts can make up for the lack of the Social Security system 【小题
42、3】 What does the author think of the Social Security system A It encourages elderly people to retire in time. B It opens up broad career chances for young people. C It benefits the old at the expense of the young. D It should be strengthened by laws and court decisions. 【小题 4】 What does the author m
43、ainly argue in the passage A Senior citizens should fight hard against age discrimination. B The elderly are selfish and taking senior discounts for granted. C Senior citizen discounts may well be a type of age discrimination. D Discount should be given to the economic needs of senior citizens. 答案：
44、【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 C 【小题 1】细节题。从文章第一段得知什么？这种类型的题干还是找首段主题。第一段主要讲述老年人购物时都能得到折扣，即 A“offering senior citizens discounts ha形成这种现象的背后形成因素是什么？讲到产生原因定为文中第二段，说 “elderly”和 “needy” 是同义词，也就是说因为老年人钱不多了，我们社会要帮 s become routine commercial practice”所表述的意义。 【小题 2】细节题。助她！即选项 C“The elderly, being financ
45、ially underprivileged, need humane help from society.” 【小题 3】细节事实题。根据题干中的大写字母可以定位到原文四段首句。文中明确指出会把资源从年轻人传递到老年人处。然后回选项找到 C “It benefits the old at the expense of the young.” 【小题 4】主旨大意题。文中讲述老人的优惠价给我们带来的不利影响，因此选 D “Senior citizen discounts may well be a type of age discrimination.”为同义替换。而且 may又是一个相对化概念
46、的词，几乎都是正确答案：。 Picking tomatoes For as long as I can remember, Grandmas plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summers end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days, Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden. She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without
47、my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandmas request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same, her desire for my help seems to increase each year. Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by un
48、dergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind ale useful. There we are, lost in the tomato vines（藤） . Grandmas eyes are always knowing, and they are no different in the vegetable garden. From afar she spots what looks like a ripe tomato. As she
