I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people’s homes in France. The idea is simple   41  revolutionary -- combining a residential (住宅的)home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and   42   activities such as music, painting, gardening, and   43   for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and   44   a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always somebody attending to (照顾) him. There are trips out and birthday parties, too.
The   45   are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual   46   and respond well because someone has time for them. They also learn that old people are not “different” or “frightening” in   47   way. And of course, they see illness and death and learn to   48   them. The residents are happy because they feel   49   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. And the staff(全体职员) are happy because they see an improvement in the   50   and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.

There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

Since the 1950s, most of the stars of pop music have come from Britain and America. However, in the last ten years, when many different kinds of music have established themselves on the pop scene, more and more stars have come from other countries.

    Pop music changes all the time and new stars appear and become famous. For a musician to stay popular and still produced good, original music over a long period of time, is a sign of true star.

Most stars start their careers in a simple way---playing in unknown night clubs or dance-hall where people want to dance to the music, not listen to it. They may have continued doing this for many years until they get a “break”---a chance to perform in a well–known place or get a recording contract. To become a star is the aim of every singer or musician and the dream of many a pop-crazy teenager.

However a group or star makes it to the top, they can be sure that their lives will change once they are successful. Ordinary teenagers living at home with their parents may suddenly find themselves rich enough to buy their own houses. An established superstar may be able to buy several.

Despite the large amount of money that are earned, life at the top is not easy for many stars. The pop scene is hard work and many stars need to spend a lot of time away from home. For a lot of them, this means they have no home life and their personal relationships suffer. Despite great public success, life at the top can be very lonely.

1.Since the 1950s, most of the stars of pop music have come from _________.

A. America     B. America and Britain    C. America and Europe    D. other countries

2.According to the passage, a “break” may mean a chance to ______.

perform in a well-known concert

C. play in dance-halls      B. get a recording contract

D. meet a lot of pop-crazy teenagers

3.If a star becomes successful, he ______ according to the passage.

A. will have an easy life because of the larger amount of money earned

B. may have a happy home life and good person relationships

C. will live at home with their parents    D. may have a lonely life
