People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them;yet, millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent(有支付能力的). Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans. The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that “elderly” and “needy” are synonymous(同义的). Perhaps that once was true, but today, to be sure, there is economic variety within the elderly, and most of them aren’t poor.
It is impossible to determine the effect of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a stimulus to income. But in other cases the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they directly annoy some politicians and scholars who consider it a coming conflict between the generations.
Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involves a transfer of resources from the young to the old. Employment is another point. Supported by laws and court decisions, more and more older Americans are refusing the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job-thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers. Far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a powerful economic privilege(特权)to a group with millions of members who don’t need them.
It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others. Senior citizen discounts only enrich the myth that older people can’t take care of themselves and need special treatment;and they threaten the creation of a new myth, that the elderly ale ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other age groups. Senior citizen discounts are the heart of the very thing older Americans are fighting against-discrimination by age.
小题1:We learn from the first paragraph that .
A.offering senior citizen discounts has become routine commercial practice |
B.senior citizen discounts have enabled many old people to live a good life |
C.giving senior citizen discounts has increased the market for the elderly |
D.senior citizens have to show their birth certificates to get a discount |
A.the elderly need humane help from society |
B.businesses should do something for society in return |
C.old people are entitled to special treatment for their contribution to society |
D.the senior discounts can make up for the lack of the Social Security system |
A.It encourages elderly people to retire in time. |
B.It opens up broad career chances for young people. |
C.It benefits the old at the expense of the young. |
D.It should be strengthened by laws and court decisions. |
A.Senior citizens should fight hard against age discrimination. |
B.The elderly are selfish and taking senior discounts for granted. |
C.Senior citizen discounts may well be a type of age discrimination. |
D.Discount should be given to the economic needs of senior citizens. |
Rooms for the night in private(私人的)homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States. Many of these America’s bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms; others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms, others do.
Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. Usually the cost is much less. Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone’s home. The owners are glad to tell about the areas and the interesting places to visit. Many vacationers say that they enjoy the chance to meet local families.
小题1:Americans take a holiday trip _________.
A.all the year round | B.for years | C.every year | D.every other year |
A.Some Americans like to stay at bed-and-breakfast homes instead of at hotels. |
B.The bed-and-breakfast inns are private homes open to vacationers. |
C.The bed-and-breakfast inn owners provide a morning meal for their visitors and a room for the night. |
D.The bed-and-breakfast inns have been popular in America for a long time. |
A.the travelers needn’t pay anything |
B.the travelers don’t have to pay for the telephone or television |
C.the travelers can meet and talk with the local people |
D.the owners will show the travelers around the area |
“How are you?” is often followed by comments about the weather. “Nice day today.” “Cold/hot enough for you?” “Will it ever stop raining?” “Some winter we’re having.” “Can’t remember a winter/summer so cold/hot.” “Whew, it’s hot out there.”
These introductory statements are often followed by a long conversation entirely about weather conditions. Past, present and – with global warming – speculation (推测) about the future.
Our fascination with weather might seem silly, but the real purpose behind those endless discussions is small talk. Weather’s a safe topic of conversation. As a group, we Americans seem to enjoy chatting with those around us. Whenever we stand in line at the grocery store, we tend to engage in this sort of conversation with other people standing in line with us. If I were seated next to another American on any form of public transport, I’d expect both of us to make some harmless comment about the weather as a way of acknowledging (承认) each other’s presence (存在). At parties, the weather is a common topic, especially with those you are meeting for the first time.
In contrast we are taught to avoid certain topics like religion and politics. Weather is neutral (中性的); you don’t have to have an opinion about it, just make a statement of a fact. What is truly interesting is the fact that we can go on and on about it.
My Chinese friend has a hard time understanding why we put so much effort into this topic – and why I warn him about bringing up much more “interesting” subjects like salaries or how much something costs.
Sometimes it is tricky (复杂的) to wend (行走) one’s way through winding cultural roads, especially those that are never taught in books.
小题1:What does the writer suggest her Chinese friend should talk about with people in the US? (No more than two words)
小题2:Why do Americans enjoy talking to people around them about the weather, in writer’s opinion? (No more than ten words)
小题3:List four topics that people should avoid talking about in the US. ( No more than 5 words)
How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.
Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.
Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.
小题1:What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “freak out” in Paragraph 1?
A.Feel shy. | B.Stay calm. | C.Keep up. | D.Feel upset. |
A.problems cause troubles |
B.attitude is everything |

D.personalities are built on failures |
A.can only depend on our parents |
