parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between
parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon (现象) is commonly known as "Empty Nest
Syndrome" (空巢综合症).
In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving
their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely
days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay
with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies
makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left
their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what
they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing
response (回应) in time for their aged parents living by themselves.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as
"distant parent phenomenon", which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our
society has not yet been well prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome".
B. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries
C. the common worry about their income
D. the geographical distance between parents and children
B. seek a better place for their aged parents
C. continue their studies abroad
D. realize their dreams in foreign countries
B. they can give some help to their parents back home
C. they cannot do what they should for their parents
D. they believe what they actually do is right
B. "Empty Nest Syndrome" has arrived unexpectedly in our society
C. children will become independent as soon as they go abroad
D. the aged parents are not fully prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome"

million Americans will be 65 or older by the yew 2010, 51 million by 2020, and 65 million by 2030.
The "graying" of the United States is mainly due to the fact that people in the U. S. living longer. As a matter
of fact, the number of U.S. citizens 85 years old and older is growing six times as fast as the rest of the
population. It is also largely due to the old-growing of the"baby boomers," the generation born after World War
II. In 1957, over 4.3 million babies were born. More than 75 million Americans were born between 1946 and
1964, the largest generation in U.S. history. In less than twenty pears, millions of them will become elderly
people.
The "graying" of the U.S. will greatly affect the nation"s family and workforce. One likely development will
be a gradual change in the family unit; it will move away from the nuclear family and towards a
multigenerational family. The other likely development will be a change m the proportion (比例) of the nation"s
workforce. In 1989 there were 3.5 workers for every person 65 and older; by the year 2030, them will only be
2 workers for every person 65 and older.
Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their elder son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends
than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanns noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with
me on the sofa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something,
Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring
out which time is which."
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what"s on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list."
said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during
the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents
last."
Parents who know what"s going on in their teenagers"lives are in the best position to help them. To break
down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try
to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need
freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with
their children is a better way to know them.
B. doesn"t want to be disturbed (打扰)
C. keeps himself away from his parents
D. begins to dislike his parents
B. they can"t read their daughter"s mind exactly (确切地)
C. they don"t know what to say to their daughter
D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help

C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
D. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.

and American editions were No.1 and No. 3 separately on the sales chart of the Beijing Xidan Book Building
last week. The book"s poster is highlighted and news about the book can often be heard on the radio.
Why is the book so attractive to children? With curiosity, I got a copy of "Harry Potter". At first, I wanted
to glance over it and made some criticisms (批评). But, out of expectation, I have been deeply attracted by
the magic world. On the other hand,one can"t help asking: Where is our own "Harry Potter"?
The Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years. With a vast market of youngsters, China did publish many
books popular among children. However, why are the present works not as good as those imported (进口的)?
There come two major reasons: Firstly, quite a number of children"s books are of strong sense of teaching,
and lack interest and entertainment. Children often have a feeling of being "educated". No wonder they don"t
like them. Secondly, children"s reading materials involving "idiom stories" and "Chinese talents" stories", though
always in different covers, are usually much the same. Some books are plagiarized. The authors take words,
ideas from someone else"s work. One knows the ending as early as in the beginning. In final analysis, the
authors of the books seldom take children"s requirements into consideration.
As a matter of fact, each child has his own wonderful imagination. They hope to understand the world and
nature. Similarly they have their own choices. They dislike similar stories.even if the stories are excellent. First-
class reading for children should be very interesting, which contains knowledge and the essence (精髓) of
national culture, which are presented in children"s language.
Market is a touchstone for products. The theory also holds true for cultural products. It is hoped that the
authors of children"s books can learn something from the good market of "Harry Potter" and write out more
and better books loved by children.
B. many of our books are of the same
C. our authors know what our children need
D. the authors didn"t pay much attention to the children"s tastes
B. 杜撰
C. 印刷
D. 剽窃
B. it has little sense of teaching
C. it is only written in children"s language
D. it is advertised more on TV or poster
B. We are short of books for children and adults.
C. Our authors are expected to make the market of children"s books take off.
D. Authors should write books named "Harry Potter".
a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband
lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
"I have two kids in college, and I want to say"come home," but at the same time I want to provide
them with a good education," says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and
each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They
will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs.
More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators
are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition (学费) continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy
and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average
family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.
"If we go on this way for another 25years, we won"t have an affordable system of higher education,"
says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. "The middle class families have been financing it through
debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt."
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans
are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans
account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow
uninterrupted.
B. They borrowed $20,000 from the school.
C. They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.
D. They got help from the school and the federal government.
B. the government will receive more letters of complaint
C. college tuition fees will double soon
D. America"s unemployment will fall
B. Their income remained steady in the last decade.
C. They will try their best to send kids to college.
D. Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.
B. dismiss some financial aid administrators
C. stop the companies from making student loans
D. go on providing financial support for college students
