    5．Lawanda Wilson was 72 when she decided to test her luck and drive from her home in Midland to Las Vegas to visit one of her sons in the summer．
    Though she had been there before，she couldn't find her son's house．Wilson ended up sleeping in her car for days．She planned to go back to Midland，but it was clear she was no longer capable of taking care of herself．She wasn't eating．She wasn't taking her pills．It turned out she was at the beginning stage of Alzheimer's（老年痴呆症）．
    "I knew that my mother was starting to lose her memory a little bit，"her eldest son Blane said，"but I never dreamed that it would be like this．"
    Blane and his brother，Scott，had promised each other that they wouldn't put their mother in a nursing home．But when Blane invited his mother to come to his home，his decision came as a surprise to his new wife，Georgia．
    Georgia，a young widow，and Blane were still newlyweds when his mother came to live with them in the winter of 2004．Georgia barely knew her mother-in-law and，suddenly，they had taken on this responsibility．With her husband's three children grown，they thought they were finally going to kick back and have a little more fun in their lives．
    "I think about that every day．"Georgia said．"How did this happen？It's like adopting another child．"
    For nine months，they struggled．Later，Georgia left home．But after a short separation，they were reconciled（和好）．In 2005，the couple decided to build a small house in the backyard．They hoped it would give them the personal space they needed to save their marriage．Blane used all of his savings to build the house，which he believed would be worth it．

    A．Because Alzheimer's weakened her memory．
    B．Because Alzheimer's weakened her eyesight．
    C．Because she couldn't focus her attention on driving．
    D．Because she had never driven to her son's home on her own．
    22．Why was Georgia surprised when Blane invited his mother to his home？C
    A．Because she was newly married to him．

    16．I walked up to the counter．Behind it was a lady with glasses on the tip of her nose and gray hair on her head．
    "Excuse me，"I said．She looked up．"You're that Clements kid，"she said．"I'm Miss Bee．Come closer and let me get a look at you．"She pushed her glasses up her nose．"I can describe you to the police if something goes missing from the store．"
    "I'm not a thief!"I was shocked．I was seven，too young to be a thief!
    "From what I can see，you're not much of anything．But I can tell you've got potential．"She went back to reading her newspaper．
    "I need to get these．"I said，holding up my list．"So？Go get them．"Miss Bee pointed to a sign on the screen door．"I'm not your servant，so I suggest you get yourself a basket and start filling．"
    I visited Miss Bee several times a week that summer．Sometimes she short-changed me．Other times she overcharged．"That can of beans is only twenty nine cents"I corrected her one afternoon．I had watched the numbers change on the cash register closely，and Miss Bee had added 35 cents．She didn't seem embarrassed．She just looked at me over her glasses and fixed the price．
    But she ever let me declare victory．All summer long she found ways to play tricks on me．No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda（小苏打）and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelve and made me hunt for it all over again．
    One day before I left，she said，"I know what you think of me，but I don't care!Each of us is put on this earth for a reason．I believe my job is to teach every child I meet life lessons．When you get older you'll be glad our paths crossed!"Glad I met Miss Bee？Ha!The idea was absurd…
    Until one day my daughter asked me to finish her math problems．"If I do it for you，how will you ever learn to do it yourself？"I said．Suddenly，I remembered the lady Miss Bee．

    B．asked the girl to shop by herself to test her honesty
    C．taught the girl many lessons but she didn't understand    
    D．rearranged the shelves to teach the girl to be changeable

    13．If you watched the 2016 Rio Olympic Games，you might have noticed that several athletes，including US swimmer Michael Phelps，had circular bruises on their bodies．These bruises were the results of"cupping therapy"（拔罐疗法）a traditional Chinese medical practice that has been around for more than 2，000 years．Cupping therapy involves attaching circular cups to the skin using suction．（吸出）The suction is created either by heating the cup inside or by using a handheld pump．This suction pulls the skin upward into the cup．Sometimes it can leave dark red bruises，other times there is no mark at all．
    Many athletes say that they have benefited from the therapy．Phelps used the therapy in the fall of 2014 and has used it about twice a week since，reported ABC News．Another US swimmer，Dana Vollmer，also believes that"it really helps with blood flow，and helps pull swelling out of different areas．"
    To figure out whether cupping has many physical effects，last year researchers from Germany carried out a test in which a sham treatment was provided．In the study，the same type of cups was used in the real treatment and the sham treatment．But in the sham treatment，the cups had a hole at the top so that they cou ldn't create the proper suction．
    The tested patients，who suffered from a disorder that causes a lot of pain，were told that they would receive either a traditional cupping of"soft cupping"．But they were not informed that the so-called"soft cupping"was a sham treatment．
    It turned out that most patients correctly guessed which kind of cupping they had received．In both groups，patients also experienced about the same reductions in pain．The results suggest the effects of cupping therapy might come from factors that are not necessarily part of the treatment itself，probably resulting from people feeling that the treatment works，the researchers told the LiveScience Website．
    The question of whether cupping therapy works still needs to be answered．But because the treatment is relatively safe and it could be helpful for some people，"The therapy can be used as a part of a comprehensive treatment program involving other exercises，nutritional choices and life-style interventions"，Dr Brent Bauer，director of the US'Mayo Clinic Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program，told LiveScience．
     
    28．Why is Michael Phelps mentioned in Paragraph 1？D
    A．He is the greatest US swimmer．
    B．He competed in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games．
    C．He has no circular bruises on their bodies．
    D．He finds cupping therapy helpful．
    29．What's the meaning of the underlined word"sham"in Paragraph 3？B
    A．painful
    B．false
    C．exciting
    D．shameful
    30．According to the German research，what's the effect of cupping therapy？C
    A．It is totally useless．
    B．It is satisfactory when it comes to the physical effects．
    C．It may depend on patients'belief．
    D．It just makes the pain worse．
    31．According to the last paragraph，which statement is true？B
    A．Cupping therapy is recommended for all people．
    B．Cupping therapy can be used with other treatments．
    C．Cupping therapy must be used under a doctor's guidance．
    D．Cupping therapy is only effective when combined with lifestyle interventions．

    17．It's said that you don't know a man until you walk a mile in his shoes．And you also don't know what it's like for older people to travel until you accompany one on a trip．
    After flying with my elderly father from Washington，D．C．，to L．A．in July，I began to realize that a companion has important tasks that can make a journey easier for older people．I booked nonstop tickets on JetBlue to avoid tiring，confusing connections，and we flew directly into small，manageable Long Beach Airport．Even though my father could walk，I arranged with the airline for wheelchair assistance，which meant we got on board first．
    When I took him back to the airport for his return flight to Washington，I got permission from JetBlue to wait with him at the gate instead of saying goodbye at the security checkpoint．I wished he'd had a first-class seat and access to a comfortable airline club．Better yet，I wish I had flown with him both ways．As I watched the attendant wheel him to the lift that took him from the tarmac（飞机跑道）to the plane，I felt like an anxious mom sending her child to school for the first time．
    Things can go awry on a plane trip．And then there is the horrifying story about Joe and Margie．When they landed at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport，a wheelchair attendant met them to help with a connection．But somehow Margie，who had Alzheimer's disease，disappeared．
    I didn't need to worry about my father wandering away； at 82，his mind was sharper than mine．But his hearing was poor，so I worried about what would happen if he missed an important announcement．Fortunately，everything went just fine．Careful planning made the trip successful．
    Next time I travel with a senior，I'll know better．I hope there will be a next time．

    25．Why did the man buy nonstop tickets？C
    A．His father was tired of flights．
    B．He had important tasks to do．
    C．He cared about his father．
    D．His schedule was tight．
    26．How did the author feel when seeing his father off？C
    A．Disappointed．
    B．Delighted．
    C．Worried．
    D．Sad．
    27．What does the underlined part"go awry"probably mean？D
    A．be amused．
    B．carry on as usual．
    C．live up to one's expectation．
    D．be away from the correct course．
    28．What can we learn from the passage？D
    A．taking a trip does great good to seniors．
    B．it is a pleasant experience to travel with seniors．
    C．to have a long journey with seniors is unpractical．
    D．a good arrangement ensures seniors to take a nice trip．
