America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — edu??cation, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.

A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop work??ing isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.

Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

1. It can be learned from the text that the aging of the popula??tion in America ________.

A. normal     B. wonderful         C. unbelievable     D. unreasonable

Specialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.

There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephones, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.

       Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their own community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without any identity. They have to build a new self-image.

       Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation （迷失方向）. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience — these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.

41. When people move to a new country, they _______.

       A. will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty

       A. language communication                           B. weather conditions and customs

       C. public service systems                                   D. homesickness

43. According to the passage, the more successful you are at home, _______.

A. the fewer difficulties you may have abroad      

B. the more difficulties you may have abroad

C. the more money you will earn abroad

D. the less homesick you may feel abroad

44. When people are homesick, they tend to ______.

A. find some people to talk to                                   B. go outside to have a walk

C. visit their friends far away                                   D. stay indoors all the time

A. protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment

C. get familiar with new culture                             

D. return to our own country

At an airport I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together．They had announced her  54 ’s departure．Standing near the door, he said to his daughter: “I love you, I wish you  55  ．” She said: “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough．Your love is all I ever needed．I wish you enough, too, Daddy．” They kissed good-bye and she left．

       He walked   56   toward the window where I was seated．I tried not to intrude （侵犯） on his   57  , but he welcomed me in by asking: “Did you ever say good-bye to   58   knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied．“  59   me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked．“I am old and she lives much too far away．I have   60   ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said．“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough．'' May I ask what that means?”

       He began to smile．“That is a wish that has been handed down from other  61  ．My parents used to say it to everyone．” He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he  62  even more．“When we said ‘I wish you enough'', we wanted the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued and then  63  toward me, he shared the following  64  he were reciting it from memory．
