At the time my son was born in 1956, I shared a hospital room with a young woman who bore a son on the same day. Partly because my parents owned a shop selling flowers, the room was soon ???48 ???the lovely smell of roses.

As the seventh arrangement for flowers was brought in, I was beginning to feel ???49 ??, for no flowers had arrived for my ???50 ??, Ann. She sat on the edge of her bed and leaned forward to ???51 ???the latest bouquet. She was a pretty young woman, yet there was something about her large, brown eyes that made me think she had known too much struggling, too much ???52 ???for one so young. I had the feeling she had always had to admire someone else’s flowers.

“I’m enjoying every minute of this,” she said as though she had read my ???53 ??. “Wasn’t I the lucky one to get you for a roommate?”?高考資源網(wǎng)

I still felt uncomfortable, however. If only there were some magic button I could push to ??54 ???the sadness in her eyes. Well, I thought, at least I could see that she had some flowers. When my mother and father came to see me that day, I asked them to send her some.

The flowers arrived just as Ann and I were finishing supper.

“Another bouquet for you,” she said, smiling.

“No, not this time,” I said, looking at the card. “These are for you.”

Ann ???55 ??at the flowers a long time, not saying anything. She ran her fingers across the pale-blue vase and lightly touched each of the sweetheart roses as though trying to impress them on her ???56 ??.?高考資源網(wǎng)

“How can I ever thank you?” she said softly.

I felt???57 ??, for it was such a little kindness on my part. The son born to my husband and me that day in 1956 ???58 ???our only child. For nearly 21 years he filled our lives with love and laughter, making us feel ???59 ??. But on Easter morning in April 1977, after a long, painful ???60 ??with cancer, he died quietly in our arms.

At the funeral home I was alone with my son in a room filled with the scent of roses, when a deliveryman brought in a tiny bouquet. I didn’t read the card until later, as we drove to the ???61 ??. “To W. John Graves,” the card said, “from the boy who was born with you at Memorial Hospital, and his mother.”

Only then did I ???62 ??the vase I had given to a sad young woman so many years ago, now once again filled with roses. Ann and I had long since lost touch. She had never known our son, never been aware of his illness. She must have read the notice of his death in a newspaper.

George used his hand to shield his face from the sun as he walked along the pavement. He dipped his hand several times into his pocket to make sure that the fifty-dollar note was there. His mother had handed it to him earlier and had asked him to go to the provision shop to buy some eggs.

The shopkeeper was glued to the television set when George entered the shop. There was only one other customer in the shop and he was looking at some canned food. The shopkeeper had broad muscular shoulders and his hair was in a tangled mess. There was a scar on his sun-tanned face and he looked extremely fierce. George felt frightened of him and thought he looked very much like a robber. George selected half a dozen eggs quickly and handed the fifty-dollar note to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper gave him a sly look and put the eggs into a paper bag. Then he handed George the change. George looked at the amount of money and realized that he had been given the wrong change. When he pointed that out to the shopkeeper, the latter claimed that George only gave him a ten-dollar note. He also shouted at George and called him a dishonest boy.

George turned pale and was quite close to tears. At that moment, the man stepped forward and asked George in a kind tone why he was so upset. George explained to him what had happened. The man stared at the shopkeeper, who began to perspire?despite the air-conditioning in the shop. Without a second word, he nervously opened the drawer and counted out the correct change for George.

How old is “old”? The answer has changed over the years. Two hundred years ago, you were 35. That was the average life span then. At the turn of this century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.

So how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel.” The calendar simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well you’ve lived.

Old is a point of view. Alice Trophy said, “It makes me angry when people say, ‘Gee, you look young for your age,’ What does that mean? Is there some model that you’re supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80.”

There are many myths about aging. Here are some of the more common myths and the facts.

Myth 1: Most older people are in poor health.

Fact 1: Not so. There are neither biological nor physiological reasons to connect poor health with growing older. Older people are more likely to be affected with illness but old age itself is not a disease. It is possible to remain physically healthy throughout your life.

Myth 2: Older people are unable to change.

Fact 2: Older people are as easily changed in their life-styles as young and middle-aged people. Though sometimes they deal with the very big pressures –death of loved ones or jobs, financial or family problems—they deal wonderfully well. Older people give up smoking and break other bad habits just as successfully as younger people.?高考資源網(wǎng)

72. We may know from the article that ___________.

A. aging does not mean you become unhealthy

B. older people are not as smart as young people

C. most older people are physically healthy

D. your health can tell you how many years you have lived

73. The reason why Alice Trophy got angry was that ________.

A. she didn’t think she looked young for her age

B. she hates being thought old

C. she was 65 but people thought she was 85

D. there wasn’t a model to follow to judge one’s age

74. Which of the following statement does the second fact support?

A. Older people have more pressures than younger people.

B. Younger people break old habits more easily.

Before the 1850’s the United States had a number of small colleges, most of them dating from colonial days. They were small church-connected institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moral character of their students.

Throughout Europe, institutions of higher learning had developed, bearing the ancient name of university. In Germany, a different kind university had developed. The German university was connected primarily with creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. Between mid-century and the end of 1800’s, more than nine thousand young Americans, dissatisfied with their training at home, went to Germany for advanced study. Some of them returned to become presidents of respectable colleges—Harvard, Yale, Columbia—and transform?them into modern universities. The new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty(院系體制). Professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for disciplining students. The new principle was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it on, and this called for a faculty composed of teacher-scholars. Drilling and learning by heart were replaced by the German method of lecturing, in which the professor’s own research was presented in class. Graduate training leading to the PhD, and ancient German degree indicating the highest level of advanced scholarly attainment (造詣), was introduced. With the establishment of the seminar system, graduate students learned to question, analyze, and conduct their own research. At the same time, the new university greatly expanded in size and course offerings, breaking completely out of the old course of mathematics, classics, rhetoric, and music. The president of Harvard pioneered the elective system, by which students were able to choose their own courses of study. The idea of major fields of study appeared. The new goal was to make the university relevant to the real occupations of the world. Paying close attention to the practical needs of society, the new university trained men and women to work at its tasks, with engineering students being the most characteristic of the new social system. Students were also trained as economists, architects, agriculturalists, social welfare workers and teachers.?高考資源網(wǎng)

Many young people are excited by their first weeks on a new job. For others, this early period is disappointing. Some difficulties may be caused by the individual’s lack of information and preparation. Often, unpleasant surprises result from the unreal expectations aroused during the recruiting (招聘) process. Recruiters and interviewers overstate the attractiveness of a job to gain a large number of candidates. Applicants overstate their abilities and understate their needs to improve their chances of getting the job. At the same time, they may fail to study the company to which they are applying. Thus, each side offers a mixed bag of truth—all likely to cause problems when those hired begin to work.

The problem of over expectations can exist for anyone, but it may be especially severe for those young graduates who have done particularly well in their studies and/or have graduated from famous business school. They have been used to fast, regular feedback on their performance and to the atmosphere of the university. They expect to find the same conditions on their new job. But once on the job, they think their skills and abilities unused.

An individual whose expectations are inconsistent (不一致) with the realities of a new job is not likely to develop an effective and satisfying work role in the company. Edgar Schein found that almost 75% of the interviewed graduates changed jobs at least once over a five-year period. He also found that within five years, most companies lose over half of the college graduates they hire. Schein thinks that this is caused by the difference between the graduates’ expectations and the realities of the company. Similarly, in his study of a small group of American business school graduates working in South America, Schein found that job continuation and satisfaction were related to how closely the graduates’ original expectations matched the realities of their jobs.

79. That some young people are disappointed during their first weeks on a new job may be caused by ___________.

1. their over excitement

2. new working conditions

3. their lack of abilities and unreal expectations

4. the individual’s lack of information and preparation

   80. College graduates overstate their abilities because they want to _______.

   A. get the job B. attract more companies

   81. According to the passage, ____________.

   A. an individual’s expectations are inconsistent

   B. over half of the college graduates lost their jobs within five years

   C. more than 75% interviewed graduates changed jobs over a 5-year period

   D. one man is not likely to develop an effective and satisfying work role in the company

   82. After reading the passage, you may conclude that ___________.

   A. companies like to hire old people

   B. young people like to change their jobs

   C. young people are more likely to change their jobs

   D. young people’s skills and abilities are not needed in companies
