"Hey, little boy, will you support me when I’m getting old?" Wang Wenshan, 35, asked his newborn baby as he picked him up at home.
The Chinese tradition of raising sons to support parents in their old age has been weakened by the rapidly growing economy and improving standard of living.As is the case with more and more developed countries, China faces an aging society.People are living longer and having fewer children.Therefore, many Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents.But few realize that a problem is likely to happen ahead.
The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries.Not long ago, the Information Office of the State Council, China’s cabinet, issued a white paper on measures China is taking to help its elderly population.The paper said China s population entered the aging period at the end of the 20th century as the proportion rote) of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 percent of the entire population, By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the population, according to the white paper.
An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem concerns every aspect of society.It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problems.It also challenges the labor force supply and the pension system.
"I used to think that it’s not an issue for me to provide, for the aged," said Wang, whose parents and parents-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance.But last year Wang s father suffered a serious illness and afterward Wang began to feel the pressure on his shoulders.
After his father recovered, Wang opened bank accounts for each parent and deposited some money into the account every month to prepare for future uncertainties.In addition, he has to save money every month to provide for his son s future education."I m now breaking my back working to support my family: saving pensions for the parents, my son s education funds, and living costs."
Wang also bought some commercial old-age insurance for himself."We have to take precautions before it is too late, and many of my colleagues share the same view," he said.
小题1:Which of the following is not caused by an aging society?
A.Social problem.B.The problem of the pension system.
C.More pressure on the family.D.Unemployment.
小题2:From the passage, we can infer___.
A.the aging people problem is one of the concerns for the Chinese government
B.China will encourage young couples to have more than one child
C.many people have realized the problem of aging society
D.children will not support their parents in an aging society
小题3:Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word inevitably?
A.Surprisingly.B.Certainly.
C.Hopefully.D.Unluckily
小题4:From the text we can see that           .
A.China is the only country to face an aging society
B.most of the developing countries face an aging society
C.countries with a large population face an aging society
D.more and more developed countries face an aging society

A new law has recently been announced which forbids people to disturb, annoy, harm, kill or interfere with any bats which choose to live in their houses. Anyone who disturbs a bat on its nest ,or handles one without a license will be fined £1,000.
There are some people who like bats. The late Mrs. Ian Fleming was one. She would crawl for miles to see them in caves or hanging from trees. Similarly, there are many people who do not like bats much but are not particularly troubled by them. The chance of a bat resting in their attics(阁楼) or spare bedroom curtains may seem far away from them. But there are others who do not fall into either of these categories and Mr. Auberon Waugh is one. Underneath his house are eight large cellars(地下室) which for some reason bats have chosen to claim for themselves. He finds it extremely disagreeable to have to fight his way through a colony of them every time he wants a bottle of wine. And as a wine-lover he gets a particular pleasure from the ownership of wine. He has certain bottles in his cellar which he thinks are too good to serve to anyone he knows, but he likes to go down and enjoy looking at them occasionally. The bats entirely destroy this pleasure.
Until the recent law, he could keep the bat problem within manageable proportions by sending his children down on a bat hunt every three months armed with tennis rackets. They usually managed to kill one or two and discouraged the rest from settling. But now, Mr. Waugh fears that the bats will take over the house. To solve the problem he inquired what course of action he could take and was told by Dr Robert Stebbings of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, “I am sure that no one will mind if you pick up a bat and take it outside and hang it on a tree or the outside of the house.” The trouble with this, as Mr. Waugh explains, is that he would be fined a £1,000 if he had not already applied to the Nature Conservancy Council for a license to handle bats. And there is no certainty that he would automatically be granted(agreed to give)one.
小题1: Mr. Waugh thinks that bats        .
A.should all be destroyedB.interfere with his wine
C.should be kept under controlD.prevent him owning wine
小题2: Because he is a wine-lover, M. Waugh        .
A.stores only good winesB.keeps certain good wine
C.refuses to drink good winesD.only wants to own the best wines
小题3: Success in removing bats from your home depends on        .
A.applying for a license from the Nature Conservancy Council
B.seeking help from the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology
C.taking the course of action recommended by Dr Stebbings
D.the granting of a Nature Conservancy Council license
小题4:Some people who dislike bats        .
A.think they are unlikely to be bothered by them
B.run the risk of finding them in their attics
C.think it strange they should roost(栖息) in the curtains
D.do not mind them hanging in trees

With the rapid social development, the Internet now provides social networks that include online movies and videos.The major television networks have much less control over your mind and their broadcasts for entertainment and, more importantly, advertising.It has long been known that television’s audience will spend more time on the Internet than watching TV.People have found another means of entertainment by going to websites which seem to satisfy their specific interests more completely.This isn’t very good news for the television networks.
The influence of people using DVRs (Digital Video Recorder) also has led to fewer and fewer viewers watching television commercials.Market research indicates the effectiveness of TV ads is getting weaker as a result.Many DVR owners are fast forwarding and skipping television commercials.With viewers now spending an average of four times longer on the Internet and more viewers avoiding commercials, this trend isn’t good for television’s advertising revenues(收益).
Major TV advertisers know full well that their advertising dollars on TV aren’t as an effective investment as they once were.The major players in advertising have been moving towards the Internet as a serious alternative means of advertising.
For thousands of people involved in Internet marketing, it’s history-making to share the revenue that previously all went to major television networks.There’s already a group of Internet marketers being paid a larger amount of advertising revenue.These are everyday people that work usually from home on their own.Advertisers can direct their advertising to websites where viewer types are more likely to be interested in their product or service.

Self—employed private doctors who charge a fee each patient’s visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States. Most doctors have contract relationship with one or more hospitals in the community. They send their patients to this hospital,which usually charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities (operation room, tests, medicines that they use). Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or a government agency. Others are operated by religious orders (教会)or other non—profit groups.
Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried doctors may work as hospital staff (员工)members, or residents, who are often still in training . They may teach in medical schools, or be hired by corporations to care for their workers to work for the government’s Public Health Service.
Doctors are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $100,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Doctors list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a doctor in the United States. Most would—be doctors first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Then they attend medical school for four years. Tuition(学费)alone can more than $10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young doctors are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency(实习阶段) in hospital, the first year as an assistant. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.
Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several doctors will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These doctors also take care of each other’s patients in emergencies.
Doctors work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite practiced many times, still involve risk. It is understandable that doctors want to be well—paid for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.
小题1:According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital is owned by         .
A.a church .comB.a corporationC.a cityD.a state
小题2:The expenses for becoming a doctor are mainly spent on           .
A.schooling and retrainingB.practice in a hospital
C.facilities he or she usesD.education he or she receives
小题3:Sometimes several doctors set up a group medical practice mainly because       .
A.it’s difficult for one doctor to take care of too many patients
B.they can take turns to work for long hours
C.facilities may be too much of burden for one doctor to shoulder
D.no one wants to take too much responsibility
小题4:The statement that fully expresses the author’s view towards US doctors’ payment is that     .
A.they deserve a very good payment for their expensive education and their responsibility
B.it is reasonable for doctors to have a large income because their work is dangerous
C.doctors should be better paid because they work long hours in bad conditions
D.doctors have great responsibility, so it is understandable that they should be well paid
