older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American
society in many ways - education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very
different society - one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various
ages.
A person"s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There"s no
longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The
social clock that keeps us on time and tells us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn"t as strong
as it used to be. It doesn"t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say,"I am much younger than my mother-or my father-was at my age. "No one says Act your
age" any more. We"ve stopped looking with surprising at older people who act in youthful ways."
B. has changed people"s social position
C. has changed people"s understanding of age
D. has slowed down the country"s social development
B. America
C. a place
D. population
B. do the right things at the right age
C. show respect for their parents young or old
D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age
would most probably consider it _______.
B. wonderful
C. unbelievable
D. unreasonable

chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to
unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some
pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain
inevitably (不可避免的) brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement,
religious commitment (义务), self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.
If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most
distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night"s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don"t know
any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have
children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating
realizations. It liberates (解放) time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase
our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase
our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are
always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all..
B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
B. a thankless job
C. a moral duty
D. a source of inevitable pain
B. ignorance
C. prejudice(偏见)
D. misunderstanding
A. have as much fun as possible during one"s lifetime
B. be able to distinguish happiness from fun
C. put up with pain under all circumstances
D. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
B. One must know how to attain happiness.
C. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.
D. It is pain that leads to happiness.
视野·新知你还想对其他有成就的妇女做进一步的了解吗?你想知道美国最有名的女脱口秀主持人吗?
那就仔细读下面这篇文章吧!
Oprah Winfrey revolutionized the talk show market with her unique and natural style and rose to become
the host of the most watched daytime show on television, which boasts 22 million viewers daily (three-fourths
of whom are women).She is the first African American to own her own TV studio. The multitalented Winfrey
is also a millionaire businesswoman, a talented actress, owner of a movie production company, and committed
philanthropist(慈善家).
"I was taught to read at an early age. By the time I was three, I was reciting speeches in the church.
They"d put me up on the program, and say, "Little Mistress Winfrey will render a recitation," and I would do
"Jesus rose on Easter Day, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, all the angels did proclaim.""
Oprah Winfrey"s public speaking career began in 1957.At three, she was speaking in church, by her teens
she was touring the churches of Nashville, reciting the sermons of James Weldon Johnson. Other children
sang, Oprah talked. And she"s still talking -but to much larger audiences. The path that led from her
grandmother"s farm in Kosciusko, Mississippi to becoming the first African-American woman billionaire is a
story of unwavering (不动摇的) focus and unrelenting (不屈不挠的) determination.
Taught to read by her grandmother at an age when most children are only learning to talk, Oprah became a
voracious (如饥似渴的) reader-a habit she retains to this day. Books became her outlet to the world and the
basis of her passionate belief in education. An actress of nomination. Some call her lucky, but Oprah Winfrey
doesn"t believe in luck. She believes"luck is preparation meeting opportunity." Her rise from reading the news on a small radio station to being the first woman in history to own and produce her own television talk show proves her point.
A seeker of truth in herself and in others, her empathy (执著), honesty, and love of people have made her
one of the most beloved women in America; a teacher who educates a devoted audience about subjects as
varied as sexual abuse, divorce, children"s issues, and countless other important subjects; a close friend who
visits over 20 million homes a day.

film got ＄1 billion in ticket sales in a very short time. The story in the film happens on an alien planet called
Pandora where many strange species live. Among the planet"s inhabitants (居民,栖息动物), the one that has
the most similarities with humans is the Na"vi, and it is the struggle between the Na"vi and human invaders (入
侵者) that forms the story of the film. As to the factors (因素) leading to the film"s success, many think that
the entertaining feast (盛宴) for the eyes and the wonderful story shouldn"t be forgotten, but the new language
invented especially for the film which provides audiences with a new experience also plays an important part.
In order to increase the truthfulness of an alien race (外星人), the film"s director James Cameron asked an
expert in languages from the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Na"vi. Professor Paul Frommer combined the languages spoken among Indians, Africans and mid-Asians and worked with James
Caneron for four years to create the Na"vi language based on the original 30 words that the director had already
come up with.
According to Professor Frommer, the most important characteristic of the Na"vi language is that it could be
pronounced."This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors and actresses,"
Professor Frommer told the BBC, "it has to sound natural and it should make human beings comfortable when
using it."
The language has a vocabulary of around 1000 words but Progessor Formmer hopes to enlarge the
vocabulary in possible follow-ups to the film and in video games. The professor hopes that one day his
creation will be as successful as the Klingon alien language from the"Star Trek"films."There"s a translation of
Hamlet into Klingon and it has received great popularity among the audiences," says Professor Frommer, "if
anything like this happens to the Na"vi language, I"d be very happy."
B. It brings the producer ＄1 billion in total.
C. The story in it happens on an alien planet.
D. It talks about humans and aliens" friendship.
B. make the Na"vi more believable
C. make the Na"vi different from humans
D. make the film have specific characteristics
B. An Indian.
C. James Cameron
D. Hamlet.
B. it has just 30 original words
C. it has a vocabulary of 1000 words.
D. it is like the Klingon alien language
A. James Cameron will produce follow-ups to"Avatar"
B. the Na"vi language is another kind of the Klingon language
C. the director believes the Na"vi language will be popular
D. Paul Frommer hopes to add new words to the Na"vi language
anyway.
Although my father wasn"t a doctor, he made his own brand of "house calls. I followed him as he brought
a plate of my mother"s home cooking to an elderly man named Frank on all major holidays and when Frank
was sick. As far as I know, their only connection was that Frank was an occasional customer at Dad"s small
gas station. Frank"s home was a two-room house on the rough side of town with an old front porch (门廊)
where you could fall if you weren"t careful. Frank had no relatives and as far as I could tell, no other visitors
either. Through his attitude of caring, my father was teaching me to be a doctor, although neither of us knew
it at the time.
When I was 13, my father developed lung cancer. He brought home a diagram the doctor had drawn
showing where his cancer was and told me that he was going to die. He asked me to take care of my mother
when he was gone. I was an only child. He said he loved me on the night when he died.
When you"re 13 and your father dies, you have some choices to make. You can use the situation as an
excuse for letting your actions and grades go down, or you can honor his memory and try to do something
positive with yourself. I focused my energy on my schoolwork and my goal of becoming a doctor.
