America is growing older. Fifty - eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. To day, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect(影響)American society in many ways—education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior(行為) is suitable(合適)at various , ages.

  A person s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29 - year - old university president or a 35 - year -old grandmother, or a 70 year - old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.

  Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother— or my father— was at my age. ”No one says“Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

  67.It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ________ .

  A. has made people feel younger

  B. has changed people’s social position

  C. has changed people’s understanding of age

  D. has slowed down the country’s social development

  68.The underlined word “one” refers to ________ .

  A. a society           B. America

  C. a place            D. population

  69.“Act your age” means people should ________ .

  A. be active when they are old

  B. do the right thing at the right age

  C. show respect for their parents young or old

  D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age

  70.If a 25 - year - old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ________ .

  A. normal            B. wonderful

C. unbelievable          D. unreasonable

  Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

  The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.

  Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don't make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

  Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossing and do not take any chances when crossing the road. My next point is about litter(throwing away waste material in a public place). It is an offence to drop litter in the street.

  When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.

  I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.

  Now, are there any questions?

 So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning , they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.

  Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.

  Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private ,for learning is an occupation of the mind ,and that process is not open to public scrutiny.

  If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest(探索)for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ”

  When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher fulfil them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.

The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.

  A. it is one of the most difficult school courses

  B. students spend endless hours in reading

  C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance

  D. too much time is spent in teaching about reading

The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.

  A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students

  B. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading

  C. teachers can devise the most effcient system for reading

  D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable

The underlined word“ scrutiny” most probably means“________”.

  A. inquiry            B. observation

  C. control            D. suspicion

When newspapers and radio describe the damage caused by a hurricane named Hazel,girls named Hazel are probably teased by their friends.To keep out of trouble,the Weather Bureau says,“Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is purely accidental.”
