For an increasing number of students at American universities, old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: The graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom （生育高峰） generation, a long life span means that the nation’s elderly population is sure to increase greatly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995.

The change brings big problems for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s （USC） School of Gerontology （老年學(xué)）.

Lawyers can specialize in “Elder Law”, which covers everything from trusts and estates to  nursing-home abuse and age discrimination. Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.

Margarine Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria”. So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”

 

67．The best title for the passage should be _________.

A. The Graying of America                               B. Gerontology

C. Aging and Job Opportunities                         D. Elder Law

68．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 most probably means _________.

A. America has suddenly become a nation of old people

B. gerontology has suddenly become popular

C. more elderly professors are found on American campuses

D. American colleges have realized the need of admitting older students

69．With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit _________.

A. from building nursing homes for the elderly

B. from providing special services to the elderly

C. by enriching their professional knowledge

D. by winning the trust of the elderly

70．It can be seen from the passage that the increasing of America’s elderly population ________.

A. will bring good chances to people in many areas

B. will put an unbearable burden on society

C. may lead to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination

D. will create new fields of study in universities

     Any mistake, which is made in the printing of a stamp, raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on a two-penny stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value.

    Do you think it possible? However, it is true.

    The mistake was made more than 100 years ago in Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean, which was a British colony（殖民地）at that time. In 1847, an order (定單)for stamps was sent to London. Thus Mauritius became the fourth country in the world which had the stamps made in other countries.

    Before the order was filled ,that is, the stamps arrived from England, a big dance party was planned by the commander-in-chief (總司令) of all the armed forces on the island. The party would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius. So stamps were badly needed to post the letters. Therefore, an islander, who was a good printer, was told to copy the pattern of the stamps. He carelessly put the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid”, two words seen on the stamps at that time, on several hundred that he printed.

Today, there are only 26 of these misprinted stamps left: fourteen One-penny Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because of so few Two-penny Blues and because of their age, collectors have paid as much as $16,800 for each of them.

 

64. Which of the following can be a title for the passage?

A. How can a Stamp Be Worth $16,800?                B. Printer Made a Mistake.

A. be no use                                                        B. be of more value

66. Mauritius is_____ .

A. still the colony of Britain                                  B. an Indian island       

C. the name of a country in the Indian Ocean         D. the name of the commander-in-chief

67.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

 A. The commander-in-chief invited many important people of Mauritius.

B. The face value of a stamp raises its value.

     C. The two valuable stamps were printed in Mauritius.

     D. The two kinds of stamps were at that time not so badly needed 

68. In the passage the word “misprint” may mean_____ .
