7．I was interested to read 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．The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities．In the afternoons，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．
The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned．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．
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young．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．It's a major problem in many societies．
That's why intergenerational programmes，designed to bring the old and the young together，are growing in popularity all over the world．There are examples of successful attempts all over the world．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．

4．For a few years，I have been wearing a ring on my right hand．It's not always the（36）Cring，but it's always a ring that has（37）Aon it so that when I look at it，I'm （38）Bor reminded of something important．I have made a （39）Dof buying rings like this whenever I see one in a store．Sometimes I give them away as （40）Ato someone like Jennie．
I first met Jennie in the （41）Cwaiting room and we had talked several times．One night I sat down beside her and （42）Ahow her son was doing because I knew that he was in very （43）C condition．She told me that she didn't know what to do any more because it seemed none of the （44）Bfrom the doctors was good．They weren't at all sure her son was going to  （45）Dthe accident that had hurt him so badly．With（46）Bin her eyes she said，"They're  （47）Dmy hope．"
I knew then that it was（48）Cjust a coincidence that I was wearing the ring that I had on that day．As she（49）Ato talk，I （50）Bslipped the ring off my finger and placed it in Jennie's hand．I told her to wear it to member that God loved her and He would be with her（51）Call of this．（52）DJennie looked down at the ring，she got excited and then held it tightly，（53）Athe word written on the ring was"HOPE"．
The last day I was at the hospital，I saw Jennie in the distance as I got on the lift．She （54）Band held up the hand with the ring on it as she called out to me saying，"Look，I （55）Chave Hope!"

1．WHY do we sometimes struggle with moral dilemmas？Why is it a crime to take certain drugs but it's acceptable to take others？Why is it wrong to create human embryos （胚胎） to cure diseases suffered by millions？Often，we follow rules that bring little benefit and can even be positively harmful．But the rules are not set in stone，so there is nothing to stop us getting rid of those that don't work and putting better ones in their place．Now an experiment suggests that morality isn't entirely about benefits to individuals．We also tend to make and obey arbitrary moral rules，probably as a way of promoting social consolidation （巩固）．
A classic psychology experiment called"trolley （电车） experiment"suggests that our minds have two moral systems，and they don't always agree．In the trolley experiment，participants are told that an out-of-control trolley could kill five people on the tracks．They must decide whether to turn it onto a second track with only one person on it．Almost everyone does it，sacrificing one to save five．But if instead you have to push one person off a bridge onto the track to stop the trolley，most people say no．That suggests most of us have a strict rule against killing people directly，even for the greater good．
How are such rules formed？Although people with morality appear to rule out the act of killing in the bridge experiment，most moral behavior in animals appears focused on outcomes-the death of an individual，say-rather than the death of the majority．When an animal experiences harm to help a relative，biologists view this as increasing the chances that the animal's genes will survive．Many psychologists think that human moral rules are an extension of this"kin （亲族） selection"．
Kurzban of the University of Pennsylvania did the experiment further．Kurzban's team gave volunteers changes of the bridge situation．Volunteers were asked what they would do and whether their actions were morally right.85% of them said it would be morally wrong to push one person off to save five，whether these people are brothers or strangers，confirming the idea that there is a rule against killing．However，despite thinking it wrong，28% said they would still push a stranger off to save five，while 47% said they would push a brother off to save five brothers．"They're more likely to do this'less moral1 thing if it's to save a relative，"Kurzban says，suggesting kin selection is at work as well as the basic"moral rule"against killing．The experiment shows we have at least two parallel systems for deciding right and wrong：one that says some actions，like killing，are bad，and another that tells us to protect kin．So how is this helpful？
Science has made great steps in explaining morality．No longer is it seen as something handed down from on high．Sacrificing yourself so as to protect your kin，for example，can benefit your family genes．Social consolidation demands we have rules，regardless of what they are，to help settle disputes quickly and peacefully．
