　　Dear editor,

　　I appreciate your comments about age discrimination and support them completely．At age 65 I work and teach at a large Beijing university which hired me after some concern about my age．

　　I teach subjects in which my many years of experience are very useful．I teach Managerial Economics, Business Analysis, Intellectual Property Law and Business English．

　　As a teacher, I am much more valuable to my students because of my many years of experience as a lawyer and as a businessman．

　　During a recent visit to Hong Kong, I was impressed by posters in the subway system which said “Consider experience not age when hiring”．

　　As you knew and pointed out in your article, experience is not something which can be acquired without years of life．

　　As a lawyer in the United States for many years, I know that laws against employment discrimination do not fix the problems but at least they indicate that government is opposed to such discrimination．

　　Recently Beijing was host to a number of Nobel laureates．Not a single one of them was under the age of 60．

　　Some have said that youth is “wasted” on the young．Experience should not be wasted simply because it is something that the old have and the young do not．

　　Jim Gaylord, Beijing

(1)

C．	A program which supports the age discrimination．

(4)

Which of the following words can take the place of the word “laureates”?
[　　]
A．	Winners．
B．	Makers．
C．	Designers．
D．	Announcers．

答案：1．A;2．B;3．C;4．A;
解析：

解答此题我们可以采用排除法，A项根据“他支持节目观点”可以排除，B项根据他是在美国做律师和商人这个信息排除，而D项实际上也与文意不符，因为在给他工作之前该大学也担心他的年龄问题。

提示：

(1)	推理判断题。根据作者的意思可知，这个节目是反对年龄歧视的，所以他持支持态度。
(2)	细节理解题。作者认为经验是非常重要的，比年龄更加重要。
(4)	词义推测题。根据上下文语境可知这里画线单词应该是“获得者”的意思，也就是winner的同义词。

　　Letter to Editor of TV Weekly

　　Dear Sir/Madam,

　　I read Alison Burnham’s review of When we were 12, and I do not agree with her．I thought the programme was wonderful－I found the old news pictures really interesting－they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling．

　　The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood．For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s)．My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket．I held out my hand with the money in it－one big coin on top of one little coin．The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey．I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything．When school finished for the day, I couldn’t catch the bus home－I had to walk．As a grown-up, whenever I’ve been in a situation Where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I’m able to take control of the situation．

　　I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme．Too much TV these days is quiz shows and so-called “reality programmes”．I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry．

Yours faithfully,

Chris Daniels

　　B Glynis Davis：I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards．Then I joined a slimming club．My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months．I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked．But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits．I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year but it didn’t happen．Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on．I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the odd bag of crisps didn’t make any difference---but the scales don’t lie．

　　Roz Juma：To be honest, I never weigh myself any more I’ve learnt to be happy with myself．It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips．My idea is simple．You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting．Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a supper-thin body．This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and, most of all, I’m happy with it．

　　Lesley Codwin：I was very happy about winning Young Slimmer of the Year．I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me!That might have been my problem---perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself．Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you．I feel a complete failure because I’ve put on weight again．

　　Ros Langfod：Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year．Every so often I try to go on a diet … I’m really good in a few days, then end up having the children’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate---my weakness．I’d like to be slim, but right now my duty is the children and home．I might take more exercise when my kids are older．
