19、tates today? The fact is that family members provide over 80% of the care that elderly people need. In most cases the elderly live in their own homes. A very small percentage of Americas elderly live in nursing homes.Samuel Preston, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the Am
20、erican family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches about 40 years of age, their parents are usually still alive. The statistics show the change in lifestyles and responsibilities of aging (老龄化 ) Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to ca
21、ring for elderly parents sometime after their own children have grown up. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years ago, family members must provide long-term care. These facts also mean that after caregivers provide for their elderly parents, who will eventua
22、lly die, they will be old and may require care too. When they do, their spouses (配偶) will probably take care of them because they have had fewer children than their parents did.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study ways of caregiving to improve the ca
23、re of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share a common characteristic; They believe that they are the best people for the job. The social workers have also discovered three basic reasons why the caregivers take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. Many c
24、aregivers believe they had an obligation (职责) to help their relatives. Some think that helping others makes them feel more useful. Others hope that by helping someone now, they will deserve care when they become old and dependent.51 Samuel Prestons study shows that_.（A）lifestyles and responsibilitie

30、e, who lived with absolute outward (外表的) confidence and self-possession for a number of years before I discovered that he could not read or write. His various methods of trick, which were also skills of self-protection, were so skillful and so desperate (绝望) that neither I nor any of his other adult
31、 friends were aware of his entire helplessness in face of written words until we went to dinner one night at a local restaurantand suddenly discovered that he could not read.Even here, it was not the first time we went out to eat, but something like the second or third, that Peters desperation shock
32、ed me. The first time, he was clever enough to cover the truth. He studied the menu for a moment, then looked up to the waitress and asked her if he could have “just a coke and a hamburger“. He told me later that he had done the same thing many times before and that he had learned to act as if he we
33、re examining the menu:“ Then I ask for a coke and a hamburger. . . Sometimes they give me a hamburger on a plate with salad and potatoes. . . Then I ask them for a roll and make my own hamburger.As we began to go out to eat more frequently, Peter would ask to go to Howard Johnsons. I soon discovered
34、 the reason for his choice: The photographs, attached in cellophane(玻璃纸) containers to each of the standard items on the menu, could help him not to struggle with the shape of words at all. Howard Johnsons, whether intentionally or not, had provided the perfect escape for the endangered pride of an
35、adult who was illiterate(文盲).56 When he went to a restaurant, Peter would_.（A）pretend that he could not read or write（B） pretend to be studying the menu（C） be desperate for help from other people（D）protect himself by playing a musical instrument57 The young man was not found to be illiterate until_.

38、）self-devotion60 Why did the young man like to go to Howard Johnsons?（A）Howard Jonhsons provided a perfect escape when anything dangerous should happen.（B） The menu at Howard Johnsons gave a clear introduction of the food it served.（C） The photographs attached to the main items on the menu helped co
39、nceal his illiteracy.（D）He would feel at ease because eaters at Howard Johnsons were all adult non-readers.60 After practising as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Ginoux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons(美国外科医生学会 ) , a highly selective and distinguished(著名的) profess
40、ional organization.As part of the application procedure (手续) , Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous even years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best te
41、chnique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have given one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have. . . Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and there
42、fore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered if a “country doctor“had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American Co
43、llege of Surgeons.61 Dr. Ginoux was working in_.（A）a large city（B） the American College of Surgeons（C） an area far from any big city（D）a selective organization62 It was most probable that Dr. Ginoux was_.（A）a member in that organization（B） a well-trained surgeon（C） a graduate from American College o

46、upid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand
47、, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts,
48、 can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar in
