The United States has been criticized for its treatment of its elderly citizens. Although in many other countries the elderly usually live with their children’s family, many older Americans live alone, without the close companionship (友情)of their children. This situation is sometimes blamed on the “selfishness” of the younger generation, but a closer look shows that many of the elderly prefer to maintain(保障) their independent lives.
Research on the situation of the elderly in America has shown that while grandparents are delighted to be visited periodically by their children and grandchildren. They prefer to with. This suggests that children should permit their parents to live alone if they wish to, but should encourage them to maintain close ties to the rest of the family.
Another surprising result of research on the elderly in the United States has been the very positive influence which pets have been found to have on the elderly people that they live with. It has been shown that elderly people who care for small pets, such as cats and dogs, live longer, are healthier, and have better attitudes towards their lives than similar elderly people without these companions.
64. Many elderly Americans live____.
A. without satisfaction B. by themselves
C. a lonely life D. a simple life
65. What do some people see as the cause of this situation?
A. The society of the U.S. treats its elderly people as troubles
B. The young people usually trouble the elderly of their own
C. The government concerns hardly about the elderly people
D. The young people are ungenerous to their elderly parents
66. The author advise the young people to____.
A. keep closer ties with the elderly of their own
B. let the elderly of their families live by themselves
C. respect the wishes and practice of their elderly parents
D. permit their elderly relative to raise some pets
67. The author’s main thought is that____.
A. the elderly who care for some pets live longer

“Learning a language is easy. Even a child can do it!”
Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will not meet with success for every adult language learner.
Language teachers often offer advice to language learners, “Read as much as you can in the new language.” “Practice speaking the language emery day.” “Live with people who speak the language.” “Don’t translate, try to think in the new language.” “learn as child would learn.”
But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
First of all, successful gain. They try to learn from their mistakes.
Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake, they will try anyway to communicate.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and learn from them.
What kind of language earner are you? If your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques outlined above.
68. A successful language learner must____.
A. be very clever
B. depend on good book or teacher
C. try always to speak correctly
D. try to learn the new language independently, actively, and purposely
69. Which of the following would most probably not be piece of advice offered by a language teacher?
A. Never guess the meaning of a word
B. Don’t translate, try to think in the new language
C. Find every chance to speak the language
D. Read as much as possible in the new language
70. The expression “pay with the language” in Para.3 means to____.
A. use the language freely B. learn the language in a more natural way
C. learn the language while playing D. use the language as a toy
71. The word “techniques” in the last paragraph can not be replaced by____.
A. methods B. skills C. tools D. reasons

One possible version:
It is said that a chemical factory will be built near our school soon. Most students, including myself, are against this plan. We do think it will do us more harm than good. Although it will bring in a lot of money for our city, there are other things to consider besides money. With lots of waste water to be poured, the drinking water will be badly polluted. The air over our city will be polluted by the poisonous gas too. We will never be able to breathe fresh air. How can we live here any longer. Last but not least, the site of the factory has been the only place where we students play games and have sports after school. Where would we go if it were occupied?
