| Amiya Olden could have been a poster child for a reading crisis that affects nearly 2 million Michigan residents older than 16:They read below a sixthgrade level,which makes it difficult to find jobs and to improve their lives.Among them,Amiya is one. Amiya Olden remembers well the day she graduated from Denby High School.She handed her diploma to her mother,who read it to her."Then when someone asked me to read it,I could remember the things she read,and I knew what I had to say," recalled Amiya Olden."When we would go out to restaurants with my aunts,and that's when I really would get upset,I would see words on the menu but I couldn't read!" But don't feel sorry for her.She changed her life by reaching a point where she'd read enough.Two summers ago,she took charge of her life when she walked into ProLiteracy Detroit to improve her reading.Nineteen months ago,she was reading at a secondgrade level；now at a fifthgrade level.

And she has advice for others,who have trouble reading. "Don't give up on it," she said."Even though it can be challenging and you might get frustrated sometimes,practice does help.If you really want to be able to go somewhere, go out to a restaurant and you have to read signs and things like that,you want to know what you want to eat and where you want to go...If you want to succeed in life and grow, you have to read.More importantly,you have to feel confident that you can." |

| I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen.Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.And especially if it's given from the heart.When people are talking,there's no need to do anything but receive them.Listen to what they're saying.Care about it.Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it.Most of us don't value ourselves or our love enough to know this.Ithas taken me a long time to believe in the power of simplesaying "I'm so sorry," when someone is in pain. One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell herstory people often interrupted to tell her that they once hadsomething just like that happening to them.Her pain becamea story about themselves.Eventually she stopped talking to most people.We connect through listening.When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves.When we listen,they know we care. I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening.In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs,until I realized that passing a person a handkerchiefmay be just another way to shut him down,to take them out of their experience of sadness.Now I just listen.When they have cried all they need to cry,they find me there with them. This simple thing has not been that easy to learn.It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young.I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer.But now I knowthat a loving silence often has far more power to heal than thekindest words. |
| 1．What does the author value most in the communication with each other? |
| A．Deep understanding . B．Saying "I'm sorry"． C．Attention from heart. D．Doing nothing. |
| 2．The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because________. |
| A．she didn't get enough respect from others B．she was discouraged by being often interrupted C．people often told her their own opinions D．people couldn't understand her sad situation |
| 3．If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying,you may________. |
| A．hurt his feelings B．make him embarrassed C．encourage him to continue to cry D．stop him from letting out his sorrow |
| 4．It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating,________. |
| A．listening is a perfect way to respond to others B．people keep silent because they don't know the answer C．keeping silent means being too shy to speak D．it is easy to form the habit of listening silently |
| 5．Which of the following might be the author's opinion about communication? |
| A．Keep silent. B．Just listen. C．Be careful. D．Tell your own story. |

| The rise of the socalled "boomerang generation (回巢族)" is reported in official figures showing that almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.By contrast,only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years ago,research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows. It also found that grownup sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents in their late 20s. With nearly a quarter of men approaching 30 still living at home,the findings are bound to lead to the claim of a "generation of mummy's boys"． Rising housing prices,increasing student debts and the effects of depression on the job market have forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally________. Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been called the "boomerang generation" because of the trend toward returning to the family home. Recent research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice likely to choose to live with their parents in their late 20s than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe. But_experts_warned_that_the_phenomenon_may_have_more_to_do_with_young_ people_facing_dark_future_than_simply_a_desire_to_save_money. While the percentage of those of university or college age moving out from the family home has continued to rise in the last 20 years,among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has reversed. Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents,including more than 760,000 in their late 20s,the ONS figures suggest. 1．What is the main idea of the passage?(Please answer within 15 words.) ________________________________________________________________________ 2．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
