26、China’s government is expected to improve work on serving and caring for senior citizens, as the nation prepares for a coming “retirement(退休) wave” over the next decade, experts said.

The nation has faced a growing aging population in past years, which may lead to labor shortages, putting greater pressure on the pension(养老金) industry and slow economic development. Moreover, the aging problem may become more serious around 2035, when the number of over-60s in China is expected to increase over 400 million.

However, these aging people, especially those “younger elderly” — who are around the ages of 55 to 60 years old, show an increasing willingness to be employed again. 51Job, a website that provides job opportunities, conducted a survey among retirees returning to the job market, among whom 46.7 percent of those surveyed said that they got the job to realize their personal and social value, and another 19 percent hope to go after better career development by using their skills. Around 34 percent of surveyed reemployed retirees said that they work to support their family or meet their higher-level consumption(消费) needs.

Pang Shi, director of the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science’s department of employment and entrepreneurship, said people are encouraged to have a more positive attitude toward the aging population to help promote the sustainable development of the pension industry. She said that the large population of the “young elderly”, are in relatively good health with more sound knowledge backgrounds, working skills and social experience, and have great potential to give full play to their talent.

“They are qualified to return to the job market. Developing human resources among the elderly can help relieve labor force shortages the nation has faced,” she said. “Getting seniors reemployed can also help reduce their own financial pressures to avoid being poor, which can also help relieve the nation’s pension pressure.” “It’s necessary to look at the aging problem with a systematic view,” she added.

【1】What may be caused by a growing aging population?

A．Pension shortage.

B．Consumption increase.

C．Employment pressure.

D．Economy development.

【2】Which one is NOT the reason why the “younger elderly” are willing to be reemployed according to the survey?

A．To kill their time.

B．To earn more money.

C．To achieve their values.

D．To go after better career development.

【3】Why are the “younger elderly” qualified to return to the job market?

A．They are more talented.

B．They are more creative.

C．They are more experienced.

D．They are more generous.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to the aging population?

A．Negative

B．Positive

C．Critical

D．Uninterested

27、EDGEWOOD - Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment: the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.

Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.

By closing time at 9.20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks.

“Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good,” Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.

The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school.

They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.

Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.

Not that it was easy. Chevalier’s first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content?

Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines.

The whole school has joined in to help.

Teachers agreed to give up their lounge (休息室) in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A．A best-selling coffee.

B．A special educational program.

C．Government support for schools.

D．A new type of teacher-student relationship.

【2】The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order to__________．

A．raise money for school affairs

【3】We know from the text that Ginger Gray__________．

29、Middle-class parents are fueling bad behavior in the classroom by “buying off” their children with computers and televisions rather than teaching them basic social skills, a teachers’ union leader said.

Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, said some middle-class parents failed to support the right of the teacher to teach and of pupils to learn by failing to create the right social conditions at home.

Children were living in “isolation,” glued to computer games and TV shows in their bedrooms and in many cases it was relatively wealthy parents who were encouraging such solitary behavior. “They are not learning about give and take within the family,” she said.

“Often it’s the well-off middle classes that buy off their children through the computer and TV and everything that isolates them within the home,” Bousted said. “And then they’re surprised when their child doesn’t come to school ready to learn.”

Bousted’s comments come ahead of the union’s conference next week, where members will debate a motion brought by its Cheshire branch calling for parents of disruptive pupils to see their child benefit docked (削减). Another proposal is for mothers and fathers to attend parenting classes to help them deal with badly-behaved children.

While she acknowledged that the motion about cutting child benefit was “quite extreme” and said she was not sure it was viable (可行的), she insisted it raised relevant issues.

“It comes out of a frustration that many members feel that while they are working their socks off under an extremely rigid accountability framework to get children to learn, they are not being supported by home,” she said.

Of the idea of classes for parents of naughty children, she said, “If you go into a pet shop, you have to prove that you are going to be able to take care of a dog before they will sell you a puppy, but there is nothing for being a parent unless you are so awful the state takes your child away from you.”

【1】What does Bousted think of the students from some middle-class families?

A．They are among the most selfish people.

B．They are afraid of speaking in public places.

C．They fail to be taught right basic social skills at home.

D．They don’t like to make friends with others at school.

【2】Which is one proposal of the meeting to be held by a teachers’ union?

A．Telling parents the importance of attending parent-teacher conferences.

B．Calling on parents to help educate their badly-behaved children.

C．Discussing how to improve students’ performance at school.

D．Analyzing why American teachers face so many pressures.

【3】In Bousted’s opinion, what makes many teachers frustrated though they try their best to get children to learn?

A．These children make no improvement at all.

B．They can’t get the support of these children’s parents.

C．They still face the danger of being fired.

D．Their requests for raising wages is refused.

【4】What is the passage mainly talking about?

A．The way of dealing with badly-behaved children.

B．The reason why the teachers’ union is holding a conference.

C．Children are more addicted to media in modern times.

D．Parents fuel their children’s bad behavior in the classroom.
