19．School is a place that is familiar to everyone．Let's find out what American students do in school．
An official dance party is held about twice a year in high schools in the United States．When the final football game is over for the season there is a homecoming party．Sometimes，students select a king from among the football players，and a queen from among the girls．Every student can attend and have fun with the help of their teachers．Sometimes，students，called bookworms，to the surprise of the other students，come to the party in a beautiful dress．
The most exciting party that students can go to would have to be a dance party．Students attend it in dresses similar to those of Hollywood stars and the atmosphere is comparable to an Oscar Award party．Since such a party is for seniors，students usually stay up the night trying to enjoy their last year in high school．
In merican schools，instead of the teachers going to different rooms，students have their own class schedules （课程表） and go to different classrooms．When a student is away from school，they must have an explanation for being away along with the signature（签名） of a parent．The signed paper is then handed in to the school office．High school drop outs and students being expelled （除名） are not that uncommon in the States．High absences without excuses are one of the reasons why students are expelled from school．American students also enjoy a number of activities out of school like cheerleading （拉拉队），student government and a host of different sports．

13．Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced．One out of every six Americans worksat putting together the parts of cars，driving trucks，building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas．（36）FMost Americans would find it hard to imagine what life would look like without cars．（37）C． The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health．（38）D
That's what several of the large car factories have been trying to do．But to build a clean car is easier said than done．Progress in this field has been slow．
Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else．（39）A．Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practica model that pleases man．
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars，we'll have to make some changes in the way many of us live．Americans，for example，have to cut down on the number of their total cars．They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle．Bicycling is thought to help the air clean．But this change does not come easily．A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down（40）G．Although cars have led us to a better life，they have also brought us new problems．

12．There are many older people in the world and there wil be many more．A little-known fact is that over 60percent of the older people live in developing countries．According to the World Health Organization，by 2020there will be 1billion，with over 700million living in developing countries．
It is a surprising fact that the population aging is particularly rapid in developing countries．For example，it took France 115years for the rate of older people to double from 7percent to 14percent．It is estimated to take China a mere 27years to achieve this same increase．
What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability．Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state．
Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society．In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge．Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not make sure the continued high regard of older people．As society changes，attitudes will change．
Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination in employment．Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development．
Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people．Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net．
25．The rate of older peopleC．
A．is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries
B．is one-seventh of the population in developing countries
C．will increase much faster in China than in France
D．will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020

A．Getting rid of age discrimination in employment．
B．Supplying life-long learning programs to older people．
C．Making sure adequate income protection for older people．
