Why did the young man like to go to Howard Johnson39。s elderly live in nursing homes.Samuel Preston, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches about 40 years of age, their parents are usually still alive. The statistics show the change in lifestyles and responsibilities of aging (老齡化) Americans. The average middleaged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents sometime after their own children have grown up. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years ago, family members must provide longterm care. These facts also mean that after caregivers provide for their elderly parents, who will eventually die, they will be old and may require care too. When they do, their spouses (配偶) will probably take care of them because they have had fewer children than their parents did.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study ways of caregiving to improve the care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share a mon characteristic: They believe that they are the best people for the job. The social workers have also discovered three basic reasons why the caregivers take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. Many caregivers believe they had an obligation (職責(zé)) to help their relatives. Some think that helping others makes them feel more useful. Others hope that by helping someone now, they will deserve care when they bee old and dependent.51. Samuel Preston’s study shows that ________ .

Passage TwoI once knew a young man, nineteen years of age, who lived with absolute outward (外表的) confidence and selfpossession for a number of years before I discovered that he could not read or write. His various methods of trick, which were also skills of selfprotection, were so skillful and so desperate (絕望) that neither I nor any of his other adult friends were aware of his entire helplessness in face of written words until we went to dinner one night at a local restaurant——and suddenly discovered that he could not read.Even here, it was not the first time we went out to eat, but something like the second or third, that Peter39。2006年河南省普通高等學(xué)校選拔優(yōu)秀專科畢業(yè)生進入本科階段學(xué)習(xí)考試公共英語題 號I IIIIIIV VVI總 分分 值注意事項：答題前，考生務(wù)必將自己的姓名、考場號、座位號、考生號涂寫在答題卡上。t think it wise to teach students of different (able) ________ in the same class.7.
