| The gray-haired lady can't wait to leave the building to search for her dad .Unless watched ,she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father ,who died 30years ago. Not all cases of Alzheimer's disease look like this ,but Alzheimer's is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75. It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer's .In the early stages ,people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality , easy to be angry .As the disease progresses ,patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs. While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain's nerve fibers (神经纤维),their effect is certain .Alzheimer's destroys not only the patients ,but also spouses(配偶),friends and families. What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Though many reasons other than Alzheimer's disease may cause memory loss ,its early diagnosis(诊断) and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects. What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer' s disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn't remember you are married. Life for the Alzheimer's patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses , bringing a deep sorrow ,loss and even anger towards God .No matter what feelings are present , facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them. |
| 1.What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired day? |
| A. She has been living with her father. B. She was sad about the death of her father. C. She can't search for her father without being watched. D. She suffers from Alzheimer's disease. |
| 2.When people suffer from Alzheimer's disease , ________. |
| A. their families and friends will suffer from the same disease B. their families and friends will experience mental sufferings C. they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years D. they will forget everybody but their spouses |
| 3. Memory loss occurs ________. |
| A. from Alzheimer's disease and nothing else B. from sadness ,shock ,anger ,and so on C. for a number of reasons D. with changes in personality |
| 4. From the passage we know that_____. |

| While in Banff ,make time for a walk around town. A special treat is to go up the mountainside on the Banff Gondola for a surprising view of the valley below .Here is The Pines ,whose cook has developed a special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou ,wild boar ,and reindeer with surprising sauces . Best time to visit is during the off-season ,from early May to mid-June ,or in October .This way you can avoid sharing the high way with mobile (移动的) homes which can be pulled by cars .But whatever the season ,take some lunch with you from Banff ,because there are only a few food stops on the road. Forty minutes north of Banff ,side by side with the Banff National Park ,sits world-famous Lake Louise .This surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it .Glaciers , huge masses of ice ,moving very slowly against rocks ,produce what is called glacier rock flour ,making its water dark to see .It is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the Chateau Lake Louise ,another beauty ,proud of its early 20th century history. Back on the road , and it's time to continue north past the astonishing Columbia Icefield ,then turn off the highway and take the short road to the base of the Athabaska Glacier .You can rent ice cleats (夹板) and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour .Either way ,you can enjoy endless beautiful sights. Finally you'll reach Jasper ,the usual turning around the place for the Banff-Jasper loop (回路). It's worth riding the Jasper Skytram ,and be sure to visit the wonderful Jasper Park Lodge ,also dating back to the 1920s.If you can have lunch there ,do it .The restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine list would put a smile on any visitor's face. |
| 1. According the passage ,The Pines is a ________. |
| A. place in which you can see many mobile homes B. mountain where you can get a good view of the valley C. town which happens to be near the Banff National Park D. restaurant where you can ask for some special kinds of food |

| 3. Similar to the Chateau Lake Louise,________. |
| A. the Banff National Park is to the west of Banff B. the Columbia Icefield lies between Lake Louise and the Banff National Park C. the Jasper Skytram has a history of more than 80 years D. the Jasper Park Lodge was built in the 1920s |

| While being laid off and entering into retirement are far from the same, they both often leave one half of a couple with extra time on their hands, and plenty of pent-up(被压制的) energy that their significant other, coming home after a long day at work, can't handle. WSJ.com recently wrote an article that shared a few words of wisdom on how to deal with this situation. Here are a few of their tips: 1. Be nice to each other and have a positive attitude. As hard as it may be, try to not be discouraged during the job search and make sure to support your spouse(配偶). If one of you says something negative, the other should try to come back with a positive. And don't forget, compliments can go a long way. 2. Encourage your partner to take up a hobby, get a side job or join a club. Typically, people work an average of forty hours a week, eight to nine hours a day. So is it any wonder that someone suddenly unemployed might go crazy with all that free time? In order to squash the boredom before it begins, encourage your partner to stay as busy as possible. Stay healthy and join a sports team, or learn how to cook (this benefits your spouse as well). Another option is taking up a side job serving food or working as a sales associate. This will allow your sweetie to interact with other people as well as earn some money. But, of course, new hobbies shouldn't take up the time needed to continue the job hunt. 3. Encourage them to continue their existing friendships and to foster(培养) new ones. As WSJ.com points out, those who recently lost their jobs are sometimes embarrassed and therefore shut out family and friends. They might cling(依靠)to their partners for support. Tell your wife or husband to talk to their families and friends. They know and love them, and can be a good support system (rather than a support group of one: you). 4. Give each other a little space before and after "couple time." You may be happy to spend time with your significant other but need a little alone time after working all day. To the recently laid off: let your partner settle down, drink a beer, and watch a little television before you bombard (发出连珠炮似的问题)him with your idea to go skydiving or white water rafting. You may have an endless amount of pent up energy, but they probably need some space to relax. 5. Trust each other. When everything is going great, it's easy to be happy and to trust your partner is doing everything he should. It's not nearly as simple when half of your income is gone. Stand by each other as a couple and trust that each of you is doing everything necessary to get another job. | ||||||||||||||
