Test ThreePart IReading Comprehension (2*20=40)Directions: There are four passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide which the best answer is and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.People cry when they feel very sad. They cry when something terrible happens, like a death in the family. They cry when they feel very sad or very angry. They cry when they know they cant do anything about a problem, and they feel helpless.People also cry when they feel very good. They cry when they have been very worried about something but find out everything is all right. They cry when something wonderful happens.In theUnited Statesuntil lately, men were not supposed to cry. Crying was weak and only for women. Men were supposed to be strong. But things are changing. Men are beginning to realize that it is all right to show their feelings. Women are learning that sometimes they can do something about a problem instead of just crying. They try not to cry in a public place or in front of a frightened child.Chemists have been studying why people cry. They say the body produces two kinds of tears. One kind cleaned out the eyes if it gets dirty in it. But when people cry because of their feelings, these tears have poison chemicals in them. The body is getting rid of chemicals produced by strong feelings.In theUnited Statesmen have heart disease more often than women do. Doctors say heart disease and some other diseases are related to the pressures ofliving and working in a modern society. Perhaps men suffer more from these diseases because they do not cry enough. And it is possible that as more and more women work outside the home, they will also suffer from more pressure. Then everyone will need to cry more.1.

The fact is that family members provide over 80% of the care that elderly people need. Most times, the elderly live in their own homes. A very small percent ofAmericas elderly live in nursing homes.Samuel Preston, a sociologist at theUniversityofPennsylvania, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches 40 years of age, their parents are usually still alive. This statistic shows the change in lifestyles and responsibilities of aging Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents sometime after their own children have grown up. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years ago, family members must provide long-term care. These facts also mean that after caregivers provide for their elderly parents, who will eventually die, they will be old and may require care too. When they do, their spouses will probably take care of them because they have had fewer children than their parents did.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study ways of care giving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share a common characteristic: They believe that they are the best people for the job. The social workers have also discovered three basic reasons why the caregivers take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. Many caregivers believe they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some think that helping others makes them feel more useful. Others hope that by helping someone now, they will deserve care when they become old and dependent.6. Samuel Prestons study shows that _.A) lifestyles and responsibilities of the elderly are changingB) most American couples over 40 have no living parentsC) elderly peop
