     Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now middle-
aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.
     That's because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13-
year-olds in schools and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why?
    We live away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of
aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it's so
hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.
    Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the
young.
     A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But
the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the children
had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have never been less
lonely," the reporter said.
     The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was
immediately surrounded. People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair.
Even those who had seemed asleep woke 'up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort
and cure. Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As
my husband put it, "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end."
     Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling me
to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which
pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.

1. Now in an American family, people can find that _____.

[ ]

A. children never live with their parents
B. not all working people live with their parents
C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren
D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents

2. The reason that old people are left alone may be that _____.

[ ]

A. the old don't like to live in a big family
B. the young can't get enough money to sup-port the old
C. different generations have different lifestyles
D. the old are too weak to live with the young

3. The fact the reporter told us shows that _____.

[ ]

A. old people in America lead a hard life
B. old people in America enjoy banana bread
C. she had no rime to take care of her children
D. old people are easy to get along with

4. Seeing a baby, the old people got excited because _____.

[ ]

A. they had never seen a baby before
B. the baby was clever and beautiful
C. the baby brought them the image of life
D. the baby's mother would take care of them

5. Why are some children quieter, calmer and more trusting?

[ ]

A. Because they have relationships with their grandparents.
B. Because their worried parents ask them to act like that.
C. Because they have nothing to worry about.
D. Because their teachers ask them to act like that.

A
Around the age of 40, honest people may already admit to noticing changes in their mental abilities. This is the beginning of a gradual decline that in all too many of us will end with full-blown dementia(癡呆).
However, a few drugs that might do the job, known as “cognitive enhancement(認知增強)”, are already on the market, and a few dozen others are on the way. Perhaps the best-known is modafinil. Licensed to treat narcolepsy, the condition that causes people to suddenly fall asleep, it has notable effects in healthy people too. Modafinil can keep a person awake and his or her attention fixed for 90 hours straight, with none of anxiety, nervousness and bad concentration. In fact, with the help of modafinil, people who can hardly go to sleep can perform even better than their well-rested, un-medicated(未服藥的) selves.
It’s an open secret that many, perhaps most, prescriptions for modafinil are written not for people who suffer from narcolepsy, but for those who simply want to stay awake. Similarly, many people are using Ritalin not because they suffer from attention problem or any other disorder, but because they want superior concentration during exams or heavy-duty activities.
Some drugs have also been specially designed to improve memory. Many of these seem to work, and without any major side effects. So why aren’t we all on cognitive enhancers already?
“We need to be careful what we wish for,” says Daniele Piomelli at the University of California at Irvine. Repairing and improving memory may have unwanted effects, he warns. “Eventually we may end up remembering things we don’t want to.”
56. According to the message, we can learn that originally modafinil is a drug designed for _____.
A. for both healthy and unhealthy people
B. the treatment of dementia
C. people who can hardly go to sleep
D. those suffering from falling asleep suddenly
57. The passage mainly talks about _____.
A. dementia—a threat to the old people                     B. modafinil—a nice drug for dementia
C. relevant drugs to a better brain                      D. cognitive enhancement
58. The underlined sentences in paragraph two wants to tell us that _____.
A. without modafinil people suffering from sleep problems cannot rest well
B. people lacking sleep can work better than they are in a healthy state if taking modafinil
C. modafinil has greater effects on healthy people if they take it
D. with modafinil people suffering from narcolepsy can fall asleep easily
59. What’s the writer’s attitude to the drugs mentioned in the passage?
A. Positive.    B. Negative.    C. Objective(客觀的).   D. Doubtful.

Nearly all the tourists who come to southeast France make a tour to Monaco（摩納哥）, too. Lying near the French-Italian border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality（公國）, though it is surrounded by its greatest neighbour.

Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again.

閱讀理解

     The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals.
     Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of
winter to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding
grounds on the way. Whales and turtles (海龜) cover vast areas of ocean. The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm. "Obviously these animals have
developed their travelling patterns over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be
extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits
fast enough," said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth.
     Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles
produce far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only
females, the report says. It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as
the waters get warmer.
    With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of
climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms, the report concludes.
Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include:
    the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food (tiny shrimp) is disturbed by the change in ocean
flows and
    the White-Nose Dolphin, which is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters.
The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. "We need governments to start taking action at the national and international
lever. “The clock is running.” said Dr Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report
mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.

1. What is the main topic of the text?
A. The effect of climate change on migrating animals.
B. How animals are adapting to changes in temperature.
C. The actions required to save migrating animals.
D. The need for government policies to prevent global warming.

2. By saying "the clock is running" in the last paragraph, Dr Hepworth means that “_______”.

A. it may be too late to save some animals
B. it is time to start protecting the animals
C. there is not much time to solve the problem
D. it takes time to complete the actions

3. According to the report, how will global warming affect turtles in the future?

A. They will only produce female babies.
B. Their food supply will gradually disappear.
C. Some will suffer from higher rates of cancer.
D. They will be in greater danger because of more violent storms.

4. Which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures?

A. More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds.
B. 20 percent of all birds are likely to die out because of land loss.
C. Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly.
D. Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds of dolphins.

5. What can be inferred (推斷) about turtles from the text?

A. They are the only animals besides humans that suffer from cancer.
B. They have traditionally lived longer than other ocean-based animals.
C. Those born nearer a hotter area are more likely to be female.
D. Most kinds of turtles are likely to die out within 50 years.
