It is an inescapable fact that to most people there comes a time when failing powers of mind or body made it impossible for them to manage their daily lives without some sort of help, and despite the weakened sense of family solidarity, this help comes in many cases from children, other relatives, or occasionally friends. When an old person or old couple gives up an independent home and becomes part of another household it does not mean that all the problems of old age are automatically solved; the problems are different, not so pressing perhaps, and their solution lies more with the younger relatives than with the older people themselves. Caring for the aged requires skill as well as goodwill. Much advice is now available for those caring for young children and babies, and there are numerous books to help mothers in bringing up their families, but as far as I know little has been written about the day-to-day care of old people. Fortunately the first essentials, sympathy and affection, are very often to be found, and will carry relatives, friends and old people a long way, but not the whole way; without these two virtues the work of caring for the old can be onerous (繁重的) and unrewarding. Probably the first thing for anyone to learn who has old people to care for is the need to allow them the freedom of action, to realize that their personality is still individual and that social significance is essential to happiness. It is all too easy to take the attitude that the old are past doing anything and to encourage resting and doing nothing. This is mistaken kindness, though it may be an easy way of satisfying the conscience compared with the more exacting way of continual encouragement to be active, to go out, to find worthwhile occupation. The latter course, 10 however, is much more likely to promote happiness.71.To solve the problems of the old, __________.A.younger relatives should play a key roleB.old people should live with younger relativesC.old people should live in an independent homeD.younger relatives should visit the old occasionally72.Advice about bringing up families is mentioned in the second paragraph to show that __________.A.it is the first essential to care for the oldB.it is easier to care for the young than the oldC.goodwill and skill are required in caring for the oldD.there are not enough suggestions about caring for the old73.Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with?A.Younger relatives often, but not always feel sympathy and affection for the old.B.With failing powers of mind or body, the old should be encouraged to rest.C.Young people are more concerned with social significance than the old.D.It is mistaken kindness to encourage the old to look for a job.74.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word pressing (Para.1)?A.independentC.automaticB.essentialD.urgent75.What is the best title for the passage?A.Personalities of the OldB.Problems of the OldC.Caring for the OldD.Housing of the Old

There are many stereotypes about the character of people in various parts of the United States．In the Northeast and Midwest,people are said to be closed and private．In the South and West,however,they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable．Ask someone from St．Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is,and he or she will politely give you directions．A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you,might give you a rather unexpected explanation．A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat．A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.American stereotypes are abundant．New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful．Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth．People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing．These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate,living conditions,and historical development.When travelling from place to place,Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.New Yorkers are usually open with strangerB.People from the South are usually considered good hostC.The friendliest Americans travel from place to placD.Different parts have different customs and habit
资料：Some companies are more creative in their use of history than others. HSBC’s History Wall, a striking art installation at the bank’s London headquarters, is made up of 3,743 images drawn from the bank’s archives and arranged in chronological order.Even this is dwarfed by Coca Cola, the American classics. In May, Coca Cola opened a new corporate museum in Atlanta, which is expected to pull in more than 1 million visitors annually, Attractions include the first Coke cans to go into space, a functioning botting line and a tasting lounge.The benefits of knowing your corporate history can be very practical. Companies often use their history as inspiration for new products. Disney constantly mines its archives of old films. Carmakers have overhauled old designs for the modern era: Volkswagen’s New Beetle is an obvious example.But the bigger payoff tends to be less tangible — that of forging stronger bonds with customers and employees. Age can by itself confer a sense of trustworthiness, brewers and banks are fond of flaunting（炫耀） their deep roots. Jim Gilmore, co-author of “Authenticity”, argues that history is also vital in giving companies a genuine sense of personality. Ritz-Carlton’s use of cobalt-blue glasses in its hotel dining rooms can be traced back to Boston in the 1920s, for example, where window glass that had been imported from Europe and turned blue in the New England air was a symbol of wealth. Rather than commissioning dusty biographies to mark anniversaries, Mr. Gilmore believes that firms should search the archives for inspiring stories of this kind.Younger companies can use history, too. Before giving up their old jobs, the founders of Innocent, a British drinks firm formed in 1998,sold an initial batch of smoothies from a market stall in London. They asked customers to put their empty bottles into one of two labeled bins to indicate whether they should focus on their new venture or stick to their day jobs. The rest, as they say, is history. The firm now uses the story to illustrate its folksy image.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.Activities did by HSBC are better than those of Coca -cola.B.New designs inspired by old products are not good.C.Young companies do better than old companies in using history.D.Consumers often trust old-aged companies more.
资料：Keeping the Zeal of a Startup as You ScaleThere are many reasons that founder-led companies are so good at disrupting industries and making life miserable for slow-moving incumbents. But perhaps the most powerful is that founders create great insurgencies. They ignore established industry rules and boundaries. They create better ways to solve old problems. They disdain anything that blurs their focus on the front line. From top to bottom, they are at war against the industry leaders on behalf of undeserved customers.Our research on what we call the “founder’s mentality” shows that maintaining a strong insurgent mission is critical to long-term, sustainable growth. But to compete long term, insurgent companies also need to develop scale and scope, which very often dulls their insurgent’s zeal. In many ways, this is because their perspective on the future slowly changes. Insurgents see the days ahead—both long and short term—as ripe with opportunity. They embrace change and chaos. They invest in whatever it takes to innovate new solutions for customers. Incumbents, on the other hand, very often see the future as a threat. As leaders invested heavily in the status quo, innovation and disruption are not good for them. Turbulence erodes profitability; innovation marginalizes their current product offerings. The future is not better.The companies that find a way to achieve scale without losing their insurgent mission---we call them “Scale Insurgents”--remain acutely alert to this difference in perspective. They actively fight back against the very natural tendency to retreat behind the castle walls to avoid future change and turbulence. Instead, they do what in some companies might seem like heresy---they commit to disrupting their own insurgency. They know that acquiring the benefits of scale requires ruthless focus on a well-defined core business and a commitment to building the systems and processes to support it. But they aren’t wedded to their business model—they are wedded to what will serve their customers best. Rather than erecting defenses against the future, they embrace the notion of limitless horizons—the idea that a company can intelligently extend the boundaries of its core ever outward.According to paragraph l, why are founder-led companies often considered as “insurgents”?A.Because they often get more supports from the customersB.Because they often damage the market orderC.Because they often challenge the old companies in many waysD.Because they often make more momey than old companies
