8．A serious problem for today's society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives．It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society．I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem．
First，employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees．To make this possible，a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose．But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees，it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs．
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual．This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement．This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years． This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor．In addition，the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly．This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions．Furthermore，some institutions should be created for senior citizens，which can help provide a comfortable life for them．Unfortunately，as the present situation in our country shows，this is not a truly viable answer．The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly，particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young．
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent．
To sum up，all these options have advantages and disadvantages．Therefore，it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations．

D．Make available pensions for those who have retired．
43．The underlined word"viable"most probably means"B"．
A．impossible B．practical C．useful D．important
44．What can be concluded from the passage？D

B．Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age．
C．Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people．

7．That woman carried a new blanket over her arm．Wordlessly，she gave it to me．
"Is it finished？"I asked．
She shook her head．"No．It is ready，"she replied．I handed her the money and took the blanket．
"It is beautiful，so skillfully woven，"I said to my mother．"But what did she mean when she said it was not finished？How can it be ready if it is not finished？"
"I will tell you later，"my mother said，"but first I will take you to the Navajo village．"
We went down to the village．A group of young men were making sand pictures．We walked through the whole village，watching the different things the people were doing．
It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman's words．
"Did you notice anything about the things the people were making？"My mother asked．
"What should I have noticed？"I looked at her and asked．
"Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete．The design in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done，for example---the line of a circle may not quite close．If you look carefully at your blanket，you will probably find a stitch（一针） missing．"
I took the blanket off，but it looked as perfect as any design could be．Then suddenly，I noticed that sure enough a stitch was missing!
"They believe that when anything is completed or finished，it means the end has come---it will not be perfect until then．Then too，with a circle，they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in．So，often，they do not make the line close．
