26、cesThe family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchenOn Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the familys three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, What do you want for your new room? Expecting toys and other gadgets tha

27、t children suavity ask for, we were astonished when Josh responded, I just want a bedThe boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic matsThat night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect giftOn Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest cit

28、y and bought beds and new beddingWhen we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surpriseWe could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morningThat afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch usT

29、oo dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorwayAs my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, What is that? A pillow, he replied What do you do with it? Eric continued to ask When you go to sleep, you put your head on it, I answered softlyTe

30、ars came to my eyes as my father handed Eric the pillow Ohthats soft, he said, hugging it tightly Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my dad gently asks, Do you have a pillow?

35、ts should be set aside for this purpose But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may softer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costsAnother way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individualThis means each person must sa

36、ve during his working years to pay for his years of retirementThis does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement yearsThis means the government might have to step in to care for the poorIn addi

37、tion, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderlyThis could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensionsFurthermore, some institution should be created for senior daises, which can help provide a comfortable life for themUnfortunately, as the presen

38、t situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answerThe government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the youngOne further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the e

39、lderly where they are independent. To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantagesTherefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations46What is the passage mainly about?

42、cluded from the passage?ATaking care of the old is mainly an issue of moneyBEmployers should allow their workers to retire at a later ageCBecoming independent should be the goal of most old peopleDThere is no single solution to the problems of the old50What is the writers main purpose in writing thi

43、s article?ATo point out the need for government supped for old peopleBTo make general readers aware of the problems of retired peopleCTo discuss some possible solutions to an important social problemDTo instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life DI heard many parents complaining tha

44、t their teenage children are rebelling（叛逆）I wish it were soAt your age you ought to be growing away from your parentsYou should be learning to stand on your own hvo feetBut take a good look at the present rebellionIt seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with the

47、ut a teenage marketThese days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their childrenAll this adds to a great barrier(障碍） for the teenager who wants to find his or her own pathBu
