题目内容

Although they may not die from lack of love, adults also need a great amount of affection（友情） and companionship．In the past, many people spent their entire lives in the communities in which they were born and raised．Many more people continued to live with their parents, brothers and sisters after they were married and had children of their own．By remaining in familiar communities with relatives nearby, families had enough opportunities for friendly contact and for support in time of trouble．

Recent studies suggest that family arrangements in Western societies have not changed as much in the last few centuries as is generally believed．Yet most sociologists agree that in modern societies, there are fewer opportunities for friendship and support from relatives outside the immediate family．Parents and children often live apart from other relatives, and seldom visit them．Also, the family moves when a parent accepts a job in another place or when it decides to live in a better neighborhood．Together, loneliness and mobility（迁移） force immediate family members to depend heavily on one another for affection and companionship．

Because the family is one of the few ongoing sources of affection and companionship in modern societies, a high percentage of people continue to marry, even though it is possible for a single man and woman to live together without marrying．On the other hand, because affection and companionship have become so important, families are more likely to break up if the husband's or wife's emotional needs are not met within the family circle – even if all other family functions are being satisfactorily performed, and in this sense, affection and companionship have become the standard of the modern family．

64．It is generally believed that ．

A．many people spend their lives in familiar communities

B．a person can easily get in touch with relatives in times of difficulty

C．the organization of the family in western society has changed a great deal

D．western societies have not changed much in the past few years

65．Sociological studies show that ．

A．the more the family moves, the less support it gets from its distant relatives

B．parents and children live together to make up for the lack of relatives outside the family

C．family arrangements have changed and so there is little need for companion of relatives

D．family members are separated from each other because of lack of support from relatives

66．In the passage, the writer mainly wants to say ．

A．affection and companionship are important for the family and they can be gained from nowhere but the family

B．affection and companionship may come from the family and at the same time safeguard the family

C．there are a few ways to gain affection and companionship but the most important way is from the family．

D．in modern societies a lot of families break up and it's just for a lack of affection and companionship

All the wisdom of the ages and all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books. The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
Reading is the pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one--family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something. They are connected with each other and with other cities. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families or ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it but also you find out about yourself, too.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you "you ought" to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax yourself with it, you will almost certainly have a good time and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won't have suffered during the process.

C. communicating with the author and yourself             D. judging the author's work
73. The writer thinks that the most unfortunate people are those _______.
A. who don't have any books                                  B. who can't enjoy reading books
C. who don’t like books                                     D. who read too many books
74. To find pleasure in reading, you should read the books _______.
A. written by famous writers                                             B. written in humor style
C. which you like to read                                     D. which are recommended by your friends
