    Psychiatrists(精神病专家)，who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset(资产) in child raising----older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with children. But raising kids takes money and energy, many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest and often unspoken fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.

    Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s  also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that, young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps to keep up his energy.” My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.”

    Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school.” Says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist .But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one. “that they will not be alive long enough to support and protect their child, ” she says .

    Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility(受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.”

    Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.”

    Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child raising?

    A Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands.

    B Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.

    C Older parents are often better prepared financially.

    D Older parents can take better care of their children.

    What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream”

    A They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.

    B They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years.

    C They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.

    D They are unwilling to retire when they reach their retirement age

    The author gives the examples of Henry Metcalf to show that______.

    A many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age

    B taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy

    C older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies

    D older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children

    What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst?

    A Being laughed at by other people           B Slowing down of their pace of life

    C Being mistaken for grandparents           D Approaching of death

    What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?

    A They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment

    B Not until they had the twins did they feel had formed a family

    C They believe that children born of older parents would be smarter.

    D Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.

    My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought  41 .

      58  I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its(贴条).

    A lot of teachers hate doodlers(乱写乱画的人)during classes．“Pay attention!”Teachers will often warn doodling students，sure that they must be daydreaming．

        However, according to a recent study, doodling while listening to a boring lecture helps  concentrate the attention：   

        Andrade，a psychology professor in England asked participants(参加者)to listen to a boring lecture． Half the participants were told to color in squares and circles freely on a piece of paper while listening to the lecture．The other half weren’t given a task．After it was over, the participants were asked to retell the lecture．   

        Those given the doodling task(color in squares and circles)remembered 29 percent more information than the non-doodlers．Andrade said．  

        “If someone is doing a boring task，like listening to a dull conversation，they may start daydream，”said Professor Andrade．

        “Daydreaming distracts(使分心)them from the task，resulting in poorer performance．A  simple task，like doodling，can stop them from daydreaming without affecting their performance at the task，”he said．   

        So the next time you’re doodling during a class，and you hear“pay attention”，you can tell  the teacher with confidence that you’ve been paying attention to every word． 

    1.Teachers hate doodlers because they thought          ．

        A．doodlers are not good at study      

    B．doodlers are doing no task

        C．doodlers pay no attention in class  

    D．doodlers are not polite to them

    2.According to the text，it is helpful to doodle when     ．

        A．a boring lecture is given           

    B．an interesting story is told

        C．watching a long TV programme        

    D．having a conversation with the teacher

    3.Professor Andrade thinks       ．

        A．those given the doodling task can remember less information

        B．if you have daydream during classes you’ll have a good memory

        C．daydreaming is better than doodling

        D．doodling can stop us from daydreaming
