11．Helsinki is offering young people the chance to rent a cheap apartment in an old people's home，if they agree to spend time socializing with the elderly residents．
The city council is seeking applications from renters under the age of 25 who will commit to spending between three and five hours each week with their older neighbours，at a care home in the eastern Laajasalo district．In exchange，they'll get a studio flat measuring 23 square meters with a private kitchen，bathroom and balcony for 250 euros per month．
Currently only three flats are available，but the scheme is part of a wider effort to deal with a lack of accommodation for young people in the capital．Ordinarily a studio costs about 600 euros a month，depending on the area，one local university advises．
Those who apply don't need any specific care experience．"There are staff to look after the elderly，"project manager Miki Mielonen tells Yle．"We are looking for young people who maybe have a different perspective on everyday life，who will bring variety and recreation to the elderly residents．"
More than 60 people have applied for the spaces in less than a week，and the idea has also been widely recognized by Finns on social media．"Great project，hopefully it will spread to other areas，"writes one person on Facebook，while another applauds the scheme for bringing different generations together．
But some wish it were open to more people，with one user saying："It's a shame that the flats are so small．It would have been nice if the elderly had a small family with children or a single parent as their neighbour．"And one person has a different opinion about the cut-off age，writing："What a shame I'm too old for this-I would have surely applied．"

28．One can probably get the cheap apartment if heC．
A．reaches the age of 25
B．has financial problems
C．promises to accompany the elderly
D．agrees to share it
29．Why is the new rent scheme accepted？A
A．It can benefit both the young and the old．
B．It doesn't need any professional training．
C．The flats are well-equipped．
D．Big apartments are in short supply．
30．What does the underlined sentence suggest？C
A．He doesn't want to grow up．
B．He has a chance to apply again．
C．He disapproves of the age limit．
D．He applies for the flat without hesitation．
31．What would be the best title of the text？A
A．Young Finns offered cheap flats at a care home
B．New apartments designed for the elderly
C．A new approach to caring for the old
D．A good chance for the needy families．

2．Modern people have a hard time controlling their desire to eat．Often you eat not because you are hungry，but because you are affected by many other things．How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat．People eating alone eat least．People eating with one other person eat 35percent more than they do at home．People dining in a party of four eat 75percent more．Eating with overweight friends，you'll eat more．If your waitress overweight，you'll eat more．Wide variety of food You'll eat more．
Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes．If people ate it off a paper plate，they'd say，"This is good．"If they ate it off a fancy silver plate，they would say，"This is the greatest cake I've eaten in my entire life．"
Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat．You tend to eat more when you think the food is good，and less when you think it is bad．So Grandma's cookies always taste better than other cookies．"Good food"even has a"health halo（光环） effect"．If we're eating something healthy，we feel that everything in that meal is healthy．Due to this，people often believe that a cheese cake with a salad has fewer calories than the cheese cake alone．That's perhaps also why eating organic food might turn you into an annoying guy．Your brain may use anything that makes you feel good about your own morality to excuse your immoral behaviour．
Food and hunger affect your judgment too．Hungry judges give more serious sentences．Kids who don't eat breakfast behave worse than kids who eat their breakfast．People who have low blood sugar are more likely than the average person to have trouble concentrating and controlling their unpleasant emotions．

19．Last week，my granddaughter started kindergarten，and I wished her success．I was lying．What I actually wish for her is failure．I believe in the power of failure．
Success is boring．Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do，or doing something correctly the first time，which can often be an uncertain victory．First-time success is usually a piece of luck．First-time failure，by contrast，is expected．It is the natural order of things．
Failure is how we learn．I have been told of an African phrase describing a good cook as she who has broken many pots．If you've spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots，probably you know a lot about cooking．I once had a dinner with a group of chefs，and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars．They knew how much certainty their failures gave them．
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column．Each week I am aware that one column is going to be the worst column．I don't set out to write it．I try my best every day and I have learned to cherish that column．Often in my columns of poor quality，I am trying to get through something I've never done before，something I'm not even sure can be done．
My younger daughter is a trapeze artist （荡秋千演员）．She spent three years putting together an act．She did it successfully for years．There was no reason for her to change the act，but she did anyway．She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored．
So she changed the act．She risked failure and public embarrassment in order to feed her soul．My granddaughter is a perfectionist．She will feel her failures．I hope I can tell her，though，that it isn't the end of the world．Indeed，with luck，it is the beginning．
56．What's the writer's lie to his granddaughter？（No more than 6words）He wished her success．
57．What does the writer want to express by giving the experience of different people？（No more than 15words）Success comes from failure．

59．Why does the writer's daughter change the act？（No more than 10words）She wanted to learn something new．
60．Do you agree with the last two sentences"I hope I can tell her，though，that it isn't the end of the world．Indeed，with luck，it is the beginning．"？Why or Why not？（No more than 25words）Yes，i agree．We should try new things and not be afraid of being failure．．
