Happy birthday! Do birthdays really makes people happy? 【1】 Birthdays celebrates the day when we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity（成熟）—or so we hope．We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older．Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well．For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud．For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process．But growing old? 【2】

Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented（以年輕人為中心）American culture． 【3】 As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel．” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old．People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom．But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”．

Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden．Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by．Retirement at 【4】age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income．Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference．Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing. 【5】 American sociologist Pat Moorece dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets．She was often treated rudely--even cheated and robbed．However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect．

40 Why? People are living longer．Fewer babies are being born．And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly．America may soon be a place where wrinkles（皺紋）are “in”．Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers．

A.That is a different story.

B. Most people in America like the young.

C. Of course they do.

D. Some even experience age discrimination（歧視).

E. People in America grow larger every year.

F. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young．

G. Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast．

試題分析： 本文講述的是關(guān)于美國人不愿變老以及原因

【1】C根據(jù)下文的描述生日讓人快樂，故選C當(dāng)然是這樣的。

【3】F根據(jù)下文所述美國人喜歡看起來年輕可知選F

【4】D由下文描述Pat Moore的經(jīng)歷可知老年人并不受歡迎，故選D許多人經(jīng)歷了年齡歧視；

【題目】B

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (團(tuán)結(jié)). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing oneperson. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.

Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.

Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."

Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.

【1】Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______.

【2】We can I earn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ______.

【題目】If you go into the woods with your friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do.

Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends — let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place.

There is another way to help your friends or other people nearby to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling（吹口哨）three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. You will be helped by others.

Keep up the shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gunshots. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.

If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house and cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink some water? You should have to leave your little branch house to look for a brook. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.

The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place.

【1】How do you let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun?

A. Stop now and then.

B. Go on shouting or whistling.

C. Shout over and over at the top of voice.

D. Shout or whistle three times once a while.

【2】If nobody answers you after your signal, what should you do then?

A. Give two gunshots. B. Shout louder.

C. Stop shouting. D. Make a house.

【3】If you feel thirsty when you are lost in the forest, what should you do?

A. Go and find a brook.

B. Light a fire and make yourself some tea．

C. Go to find a brook and leave marks behind you.

D. Find something to hold the water.
