          Until late in the 20th century most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now
    middle-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.
          That's because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our
    13-year-olds in schools and sport activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why?
          We live far away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of
    fears of aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes
    it's got hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.
          Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save
    the young.
          A reporter moved her family into a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed.
    But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon
    the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have
    never been lonely," the reporter said.
          The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home (养老院) when a visitor showed up with
    a baby, she was immediately surrounded. People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were
    ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child. Babies have an
    astonishing power to comfort and cure.
          Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As
    my husband put it "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end."
    Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling me
    to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell
    which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.


    1. Now in an American family, people can find that ______.
    [     ]

    A. children never live with their parents
    B. not all working people live with their parents
    C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren
    D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents
    2. Seeing a baby, the old people got excited because ______.
    [     ]

    A. they had never seen a baby before
    B. the baby was clever and beautiful
    C. the baby brought them the image of life
    D. the baby's mother would take care of them
    3. Why are some children quieter, calmer and more trusting?
    [     ]

    A. Because they have relationships with their grandparents.
    B. Because their worried parents ask them to act like that.
    C. Because they have nothing to worry about.
    D. Because their teachers ask them to act like that.
    4. Which of the following can show the fact that the old often save the young?
    [     ]

    A. The old can become friends of the children and the children may not feel lonely.
    B. The old get excited when they see a baby.
    C. The old can cure the young when they are sick.
    D. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.

社会现象类阅读解题技巧:

这类文章通过写人记事来揭示文章的主题,显示其社会意义,一般采用顺序或倒叙来叙述。题目经常是一些细节问题。考查的方面可以是原因和其中引发的思考。阅读这类文章要理清思路。
1、浏览试题,明确要求。
      在阅读文章前,最好先浏览一下文章后面的题干和选项。知道了问题后再去看文章,可使思路更敏捷,而且也便于阅读时留意文中出现的与选项有关的信息。   
2、通读全文,抓住主要内容。
      在不影响理解的前提下,尽可能地阅读以便在尽可能短的时间内理解文章或段落的内容。阅读时,如遇到不熟悉的单词、词组或一时看不懂的句子,不要停下来苦思冥想,继续读下去,通过上下文的词语和句子可能就理解了。   
3、抓住中心思想和段落大意。
      通读全文时,要特别注意主题句。每篇文章或每个段落都有与文章有关的句子,尤其是科技、政论性文章的主题句一般都在文章的开头或结尾,插在中间的很少。所以,文章的第一段或开头的第一、二个句子往往包含着文章的中心思想、作者的意图或全文的概述,因此要特别注意,彻底理解。   
4、有针对性地仔细阅读,找寻所需信息。
      在前面的基础上,可进行有针对性地阅读了。把与问题无关的内容一扫而过,而对于和问题有关的内容认真阅读,还可以用笔在下面做出记号。再把这些信息与问题的要求结合起来,逐条分析,综合判断,找出正确答案。   
5、进行合理的推理判断。
      对文章有了全面的了解之后,可以按照文章要求以及上下文之间的关系,做出推理判断。在进行推理判断的时候,需要综合考虑句型、语法、句子之间的逻辑关系、文化背景等方面的因素。   
6、认真复读,验证答案。
      要用全文的中心思想统帅各个题目,研究其内在联系和逻辑关系,并依次审核那些还未打上的题目,确保理解无误。
