[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。
主要论述了祖父母接到后代与他们同住的邀请后该如何做出选择。
4．WhywasGarza'smoveasuccess?
A．Itstrengthenedherfamilyties.
B．Itimprovedherlivingconditions.
C．Itenabledhertomakemorefriends.
D．Ithelpedherknowmorenewplaces.
解析：
细节理解题。
根据第一段中的“...givingthemacloserrelationship...”可知，Garza搬去和晚辈同住后，他们的关系更亲密了，这与A项的表述“这加强了她的家庭关系”相吻合，故选A项。
B、C、D三项表述的内容在文中未提及。
答案：
A
5．WhatwasthereactionofthepublictoMrs.Robinson'sdecision?
A．17%expressedtheirsupportforit.
B．Fewpeoplerespondedsympathetically.
C．83%believedithadabadinfluence.
D．Themajoritythoughtitwasatrend.
解析：
推理判断题。
根据第二段中的“...83percentofthepeoplesaidMrs.Robinson'sdecisionwillinfluencegrandparentsintheAmericanfamily.”可知，83%的人认为Mrs.Robinson的决定将影响美国家庭的祖父母，但没说这有不好的影响，故排除C项；由此句也可判断出，17%的人对她的决定是持反对意见或是保持中立态度，而不是支持，故排除A项；根据第二段中的“Two－thirdsbelievemorefamilieswillfollowtheexampleofObama'sfamily.”可知，三分之二的人认为更多的家庭将效仿奥巴马的家庭，由此可知它将成为一种趋势，故选D项，同时排除B项。
答案：
D
6．WhatdidCrosbysayaboutpeopleinthe1960s?
A．Theywereunsureofthemselves.
B．Theywereeagertoraisemorechildren.
C．Theywantedtoliveawayfromtheirparents.
D．Theyhadlittlerespectfortheirgrandparents.
解析：
细节理解题。
根据第三段的第一句“Inthe1960swewereallalittlewildandcouldn'tgetawayfromhomefarenoughorfastenoughtoprovewecoulddoitonourown...”可知，在20世纪60年代，人们都有点儿狂野，急于“远走高飞”来证明自己的能力，这与C项的表述“他们想远离父母生活”相吻合，故选C项。
A、B、D三项表述的内容在文中未提及。
答案：
C
7．Whatdoestheauthorsuggestthegrandparentsdointhelastparagraph?
A．Makedecisionsinthebestinterestsoftheirown.
B．Asktheirchildrentopaymorevisitstothem.
C．Sacrificefortheirstrugglingchildren.
D．Gettoknowthemselvesbetter.
解析：
推理判断题。
根据最后一段中的“Movingisnotforeveryone.”以及“itiswisertosaynoandvisitfrequently”可知，作者建议老年人从自己的利益出发，做出选择，A项的表述与此相吻合。
根据visitfrequently可知，文中指的是祖父母常去看看晚辈，而不是B项的“让他们的孩子多多探望他们”，故B项表述有误；文中虽然有“iswillingtomakesacrifices”和“youradultchildisstruggling”，但并不是要让祖父母为晚辈做出牺牲，故C项错误；D项在文中未提及。
答案：
A
C
