18、who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem. First, employers should take the responsibility for their retire
19、d employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits(利润) should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return th
20、e responsibility to the individual(个人). This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement(退休). This does not seem a very fair model(模式) since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement
21、years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes(税收) to increase the level of pensions(养老金). Furthermore, some institutions(机构) should be crea
22、ted for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One furthe
23、r solution is that the government or social organizations establish(建立) some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed
24、 to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.24. What is the writers main purpose in writing this article?A. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.C. To point out the need for government
25、 support for old people.D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.25. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Impossible. B. Practical. C. Useful. D. Successful.26. According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives
26、of retired people?A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years.C. Increase the discounts(折扣) for food and transport for the old.D. Make available(可利用的) pensions for those who have retired.27. What can be conc
27、luded from the passage?A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.C. There is no single solution to the problems of the old.D. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people. CResearchers have found bees can do b
28、asic mathematics, in a discovery that deepens our understanding of the relationship between brain size and brain power. Recently, a study conducted by researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia showed that bees could perform arithmetic operations(数学运算) like addition and subtraction (减法
29、). Solving math problems requires a complex level of involving the mental management of numbers, long-term rules and short-term working memory. The finding that even the tiny brain of a honeybee can grasp basic mathematical operations has a possible effect on the future development of Artificial Int
30、elligence, particularly in improving rapid learning.RMITs Professor Adrian Dyer said numerical (数字的) operations like addition and subtraction are complex because they require two levels of processing. “You need to be able to hold the rules around adding and subtracting in your long-term memory, whil
31、e mentally using skillfully a set of given numbers in your short-term memory,” Dyer said. “On top of this, our bees also used their short-term memories to solve arithmetic problems, as they learned to recognize plus or minus as abstract concepts.”The findings suggest that advanced numerical cognition (认知) may be found much more widely in nature among non-human animals than previously suspected.
