Melanie’s dad, James Porter, who is the chief of police for a Chicago suburb, wants Melanie to 27 nearby Northwestern University, where she’s 28 been accepted. But Melanie, 17, really wants to go to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C, where she’s been wait-listed.
When she gets an unexpected 29 from Georgetown University, she decides to 30 a road trip with a few 31 female friends. Melanie believes it is her first step 32 adulthood. But 33 the fact that this trip is “girls only”, James isn’t 34 with the prospect(期望) of his little princess 35 the world without him. He wants to protect her, so he joins the girls and hopes he can convince Melanie to go to Northwestern. 36 Melanie’s father only has the best of 37 , his presence 38 an endless series of comic encounters（遭遇）.
After following their faulty device 39 into the backwoods (偏远地区), James and Melanie 40 Melanie’s little brother and his pet pig have been hiding in the spare compartment (隔间). What should be a simple tyre change 41 the expensive car rolling down a mountain, forcing them to hike to a nearby hotel…. All these disasters add spice(额外的趣味) to their trip while along the way a father and a daughter 42 get the chance to really 43 each other.
All parents, 44 they have college students or not, can relate to the bittersweet realization that their kids are growing up. 45 what Melanie and James have done, we all can find the delicate (脆弱的) balance between staying connected and letting go.

A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives.It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society.I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First,employers should take the responsibility to the individual.This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement.This does not seem very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years.This means the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly.This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions.Furthermore,some institutions should be created for senior citizens,which can help provide a comfortable life for them.Unfortunately,as the president situation in our country shows,this is nota truly viable answer.The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly,particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages.Therefore,it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
What is the passage mainly talk about?
A.The problems faced by the old in society.
B.Why we should take reponsibility for the old.
C.How we can improve the lives of the old.
D.Where the old can go to get their pensins.
According to the passage,how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?
A.Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
B.Increase savings levels of people during their working years.
C.Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.
D.Make available pensions for those who have retired.
The underlined word “viable” most probably means____.
A.impossible B.practical C.useful D.successful
What can be concluded from the passage?
A.Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.
B.Empoyers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.
C.Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.
D.There is no single solution to the problems of the old.

We took the bus from the suburb every early morning that summer 3 years ago. One of the passengers was a small 36 man who took the bus to the centre for senior citizens every morning. He walked with a stoop (佝偻) and a sad look on his face when he, with some difficulty, 37 the bus and sat down alone behind the driver. No one ever paid very much attention to him.
Then one 38 morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled before he sat down. The driver 39 guardedly. The rest of us were silent. The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, 40 and said in a loud voice: “And a very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good morning,” 41 . The following weeks we were more alert (留意的). Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date 42 . The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we 43 began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver 44 smilingly and asked:“Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?”and he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers 45 and clapped at him. Charlie bowed and waved the 46 before he sat down on his seat. Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower. Some of the 47 passengers began bringing him flowers for his bouquet(花束).
The summer went by, and 48 was closing in, when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual 49 . When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or — 50 — on holiday somewhere.
One day, we learned from the staff working in the centre for senior citizens that the elderly 51 was fine, but he hadn't been coming to the 52 that week. One of his very close friends had died at the weekend. They 53 him back on Monday. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.
The next 54 Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping a bit more, a little bit more grey, and without a tie. He seemed to have shrinked（缩小）again. Inside the bus was a 55 . All of us sat with our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.

What does the word“youth” mean to you? Many define it as a precious time in their life when they are young, when fun, passion, and imagination seem limitless. But for most high school students, youth is a time of determination and willpower for achieving their goals.
This is vividly shown in Mark of Youth, a movie that opened on Feb 5. Mark of Youth tells the story of four Senior 3 students in a top high school in the days leading up to the national college entrance examination.
Each character represents a different type of student, ranging from the most mischievous(调皮的)to the most motivated. Like most teenagers, they enjoy carefree moments and like to talk about their schoolmates. But the tension of the approaching exam, probably their first life-changing event, is common—they must memorize seemingly endless English words and Chinese poems, work through piles of practice test papers, and improve their scores despite the increasing pressure.
But life exists beyond campus. That the college entrance examination is coming up doesn’t mean they can escape family changes, such as when one character’s parents get divorced or another’s father is arrested. Can these four young people handle their problems and eventually make it to their ideal universities despite their on –and –off campus stress?
The story is set in Hubei Huanggang Middle School, known for its students’ outstanding performances on the big exam. The four students are played by the actors who played in the reality shows Happy Boys and Happy Girls. HongKong actor Alex Fong plays their teacher.
Students may look more fashionable in Mark of Youth than in real life, but it is the story about the final year of high school that many viewers relate to.
“The film is very inspiring,” said Senior 2 student Yao Lingqian, 16, from Leshan Foreign Language School in Sichuan province. “A total commitment(投入)to hard work, though it can be lonely and no fun at all, will leave precious marks on my youth.”
And for Senior 3 student Gao Jing, the film has given her optimism. “The characters taught me that what you score is not the only important thing. The way you approach the exam matters the most,” said the 17-year-old from Zhenping County No 1 High School in Nanyang, Henan province.
“The film really reflects senior 3students’life.” Zhang Ping, a teacher from a senior high school in Qingdao, commented.

A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions(养老金). Furthermore, some in-situations should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options(选择) have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
1.According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?
A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years.
C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.
D. Increase the level of pensions.
2.The underlined word “viable” in the fourth paragraph most probably means “______”.
A. impossible B. practical C. perfect D. obvious
3.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?
A. To point out the need for government support for old people.
B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.
C. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.
D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.
