I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living room my 12 year-old son looked 1 at me and said,“I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. 2 several seconds all I could do was stand there and 3 down at him. My first thought was he must need 4 with his homework or he was trying to 5 me for some news.
Finally I asked,“What was that all about?”
“Nothing.”He said,“My teacher said we should 6 our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an 7 .”
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this“experiment”and how the other parents had 8 .
“Basically, most of the fathers had the 9 reaction as you did.”The teacher said,“When I first 10 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.”“The 11 is,”the teacher explained,“feeling loved is an important part of 12 . It’s something all human beings 13 . What I am trying to tell the children is that it’s too 14 we all don’t express those feelings. A boy should be 15 to tell his dad that he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 16 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for an extra second. And just 17 he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice,“Hey, I love you, too.”
I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, 18 it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says,“I love you.”It would not take me a whole 19 to think of the right 20 .

Many solutions we seek with regard to achieving sustainability(可持续性) are within our reach.
That's the lesson our school's Environment Club has learned over the past two years. We've reduced
the amount of our waste at our school by 25 per cent. 1 We have the evidence we need to
suggest we are making a difference. If you are interested in leading your school on a similar journey
of change, here are some tips.
2
Examine the garbage can to find out how much of your school's garbage could be picked out from
the waste stream and be reused. We found that more than 80 percent of our waste could have been
reused, recycled or composted(制成堆肥).
Prepare dustbins there.
3 You will find you can cover the cost of the purchase of the dustbins within a few months simply
by selling the bottles and other items you collect.
Compost the waste.
Start a composting system in your school. You may reduce your waste by as much as 50 percent.
Be sure to talk with your teachers and your cafeteria staff to get them onside.
Share your success.
Let your community know what you've accomplished. 4 Ask your teachers if you can talk to
their classes, let your parent group know what you're doing, and present a report to the president of
your school.
5
Whether you spend a few moments in a quiet place or the whole day walking along a beautiful beach,
time outdoors will remind you why the work you do for the environment is so worthwhile.
A. Dig in.
B. Reward yourself.
C. Do outdoor activities.
D. They'll feel proud of you.
E. We need to go further, and we will.
F. Invite your friends to join your cause.
G. Make sure every classroom has dustbins for recycling.

For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span(寿命) means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change brings many problems for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学).www.zxxk.com
Lawyers can specialize in “elder law” which covers everything from trusts(信托) and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination. Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees(退休者) in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.
Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”
1..“…Old is suddenly in” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means “_____”.
A. America has suddenly become a nation of old people
B. more elderly professors are found on American campuses
C. gerontology has suddenly become popular
D. American colleges have realized the need of getting older students
2.Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market?
A. The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power
B. They can employ more gerontologists
C. Retirees are more generous in spending money
D. There are more elderly people working than before
3.Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?
A. Retirees who are business-minded
B. The volunteer workers in retirement homes
C. Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology
D. College graduates with an MBA or law degree
4..It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America’s elderly population ______.
A. will provide good job opportunities in many areas
B. will cause a heavy burden on society
C. may lead to nursing home abuse and age discrimination
D. will create new fields of study in universities
