I was interested in reading a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's homes in France.
The idea is simple, but revolutionary - combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school
in the same building. 1 In the afternoon, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and
if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle (拥抱). There are trips
out and birthday parties too.
2 The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention, and respond well
because someone has time for them. They see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents
are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the
children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too.
3 There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for
grandparents. But the result is the same-increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old
people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along
with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. 4
That's why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are
growing in popularity all over the world. 5 Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one
obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with
children who need extra attention.
A. The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned.
B. There are examples of successful attempts all over the world.
C. Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young.
D. However, there are some similarities between the old and the young
E. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities.
F. No previous experience can we use to communicate between them.
G. It's a major problem in many societies.

| Gift Giving 1.______ There are many occasions (场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one's first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving. 2.______ What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation (义务). 3.______ Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient (接受者) know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person "feel special." We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say "I'm sorry." Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages-often very expressive ones. 4.______ People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:"I appreciate these, and they mean something to me," the woman said, "because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we've had." The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her. 5.______ Emotions (情感) like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue. |

| For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshoppingwatching TV and buying things by phone. 1 In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes ,jewelry, food, toys, and many other things. 2 For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels. In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24hour teleshopping company. 3 Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. 4 Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them ,and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV. 5 They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person. | |
