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 perc

22、entage of Americas elderly live in nursing homes.Samuel Preston, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the American 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

23、 show the change in lifestyles and responsibilities of aging (老龄化) Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring 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 m

24、embers must provide long-term care. These facts also mean that after caregivers provide for their elderly parents, who will eventually 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 pare

25、nts did.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study ways of caregiving to improve the care 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 als

26、o discovered three basic reasons why the caregivers take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. Many caregivers 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 no

27、w, they will deserve care when they become old and dependent.51. Samuel Prestons study shows that _ . A. lifestyles and responsibilities of the elderly are not changing B. most American couples over 40 have no living parents C. middle-aged Americans have to take care of their children and parents at

32、lderly people are satisfied with the better ways of care giving that social workers have come up with.Passage 2I once knew a young man, nineteen years of age, 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 writ

33、e. 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 friends were aware of his entire helplessness in face of written words until we went to dinner one night at a local restaurantand suddenly disc

34、overed 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 shocked 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 i

35、f 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 were 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 t

36、hem 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 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 str

37、uggle with the shape of words at all. Howard Johnsons, whether intentionally or not, had provided the perfect escape for the endangered pride of an adult who was illiterate (文盲).56.

38、 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 _ .

What did the young man usually have at a restaurant? A. Standard items on the menu B. Foods that other people ordered C. A hamburg

40、er made by himself D. A coke and a hamburger59. The word “self-possession” (Para. 1) probably means _ . A. self-confidence B. self-consciousness C. self-discipline D. self-devotion50. Why did the young man like to go to Howard Johnsons? A. Howard Johnsons provided a perfect escape when anything dang

41、erous 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 conceal his illiteracy. D. He would feel at ease because eaters at Howard Johnsons were all adult non-readers.Passage 3After practicin

42、g as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Giroux 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) professional organization.As part of the application procedure (手续), Dr. Giroux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years.
