三、 阅读理解

19. I read a newspaper article about a new concept. The idea is simple, but revolutionary: combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents (住户) eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting and gardening. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a hug.

Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this

including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. It’s a major problem in many societies.

That’s why inter-generation (代际的) programs are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful actions. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another. One successful scheme in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager who wants to study law.

But it isn’t only the individuals concerned who gain from inter-generational activities. The advantages to society are huge too. If older people can understand and accept the youth of today, there will be less conflict in a community. And we can use the strengths of one generation to help another. Then perhaps getting old won’t be so sad after all.

4. Why does the author mention the newspaper article he read? A. To argue for a new concept. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To show his interest in the topic.

D. To draw our attention to a social problem.

5. What is the purpose of the inter-generational programs? A. To ask the old to care for the young. B. To teach the young to respect the old. C. To bring the old and the young together. D. To provide a good job opportunity for the young. 6. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. The examples of inter-generational activities. B. The inter-generational programs all over the world. C. The inter-generational programs’ benefits to individuals. D. The reasons why inter-generational programs enjoy popularity. 7. What may be the best title for the text? A. Being old is no more sad. B. Offer a warm home for the young. C. A new concept in caring for the old is born. D. Build bridges between the old and the young.

4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
