| I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. Since I work from 9 o'clock to 5:30 pm, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip-so I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth hearing the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets. |

| Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now middle- aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. That's because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13- year-olds in schools and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why? We live away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it's so hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most. Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young. A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have never been less lonely," the reporter said. The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was immediately surrounded. People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep woke 'up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure. Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it, "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end." Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting. |
| 1. Now in an American family, people can find that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. children never live with their parents B. not all working people live with their parents C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents |
| 2. The reason that old people are left alone may be that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the old don't like to live in a big family B. the young can't get enough money to sup-port the old C. different generations have different lifestyles D. the old are too weak to live with the young |
| 3. The fact the reporter told us shows that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. old people in America lead a hard life B. old people in America enjoy banana bread C. she had no rime to take care of her children D. old people are easy to get along with |
| 4. Seeing a baby, the old people got excited because _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. they had never seen a baby before B. the baby was clever and beautiful C. the baby brought them the image of life D. the baby's mother would take care of them |
| 5. Why are some children quieter, calmer and more trusting? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Because they have relationships with their grandparents. B. Because their worried parents ask them to act like that. C. Because they have nothing to worry about. D. Because their teachers ask them to act like that. |

| For those of you who where born in the year of the pig, good luck and much success! This is your year. When talking to a Westerner, however, you've got to be a little careful when you talk about pigs. Chinese people view the pig as a smart and prosperous animal.

| Every weekday morning I take the 8:30 bus to go to my job. I know by sight several people who also take that bus. Some of the girls work as maids. They get off at each stop in ones, twos or threes. But at one corner something wonderful happens. Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house. He doesn't look at two of the maids who get off. But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!". From head to tail, his little body wags his happiness. Everyone on the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the house. One day not long ago, the maid wasn't on the bus. I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her. Sure enough, he was! He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute. I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful worry. Where was she? The driver closed the back door. The dog raced to the front door. It, too, shut in his face. Everyone on the bus felt sad. Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there! The driver couldn't stand it. He opened the door and looked down at the dog. "She didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice. A man in a front seat leaned forward. "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called. The dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." He watched the bus as we pulled away. Then he turned to trot home-alone. The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. Yes, the dog was waiting for her. The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual. We all smiled at one another. How bright and good the morning suddenly seemed to us! |

| A grand memorial service was held Wednesday, October 28, 2009 in central Hubei Province to honor three college students who died rescuing two children from the Yangtze River on October 24.Thousands of people holding chrysanthemum flowers went to the Jingzhou Memorial House to see off the teenagers, all 19-year-old students from the Yangtze University based in Jingzhou City. The trio were Chen Jishi, He Dongxu and Fang Zhao. More than 10 students from the Yangtze University formed a ladder with one student holding another's arms to rescue the two boys in the river on the afternoon of October 24. One of the students lost his grip on his classmates and all of them were in danger. Several members of a winter swimming team nearby came to help. Chen Jishi, He Dongxu and Fang Zhao were swept away in the torrent, but others were saved. People touched by their selfless act had donated more than 500,000 yuan ($73,206) to their relatives as of Wednesday, Zhang said. Millions of Internet users made online comments on major news portals to show their grief. "I am also a college student. I feel sorrow for you," said "Liu Zhuoya," from northwestern Xi'an City. However, some questioned the sacrifice. "Sacrifice (牺牲) three and rescue two, is that worthwhile?" asked "Tiaozhantianya" on the forum of www.163.com.
