Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturityor so we hope. We all like to imagine that we ar
16、e getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That is a differen
17、t story.Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心) American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “Youre young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in
18、some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at the
19、age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person a
20、nd wandered city streets. She was often treated rudelyeven cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boo
21、mers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumer.56. Growing up is a wonderful thing because _.A. people can celebrate their birthday B. people can receive many presents C
22、. people can become more mature and wiser D. people will feel younger at heart57. We can infer from the second paragraph that _.A. different countries have different opinions on the old age B.

23、xperience and wisdom58. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A. The golden years can make the old earn lots of money.B. American social security benefits are not good.C. The old in America are leading a hard life.D. The old in America have to retire at the age of 65.59. What does the underli
24、ned word “in” in the last paragraph mean?A. serious B. disappearing slowly C. cool D. growing fast 60. According to the text, which of the following is correct?A. The young are often discriminated in America.B. The young are more respected than the old in America.C. Growing old makes people feel pro
25、ud in America.D. The old are more respected than the young in America. B Every pet owner loves his pet. There is no argument here.But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals, the responses were split almost down the middle. Of the 228 readers who answered it, 108 wou
26、ld clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion.Clearly, from readers response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to peoples widely differing expectations over the developing scientific proc
27、edure.Most of the respondents who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope a clone could never truly recreate a pet, many simply didnt wish
28、to go against the natural law of life and death.Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More than a few respondents owned “the best dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend”, “a member of the family,” “the light of my life.” They told moving stories of pets
29、heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.Little wonders the loss is so disturbingand the cloning so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says Gary Kowalski, author of Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisd
30、om for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death awayIts understandable. Death is always painful. Its difficult to deal with. Its hard to accept.” But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seemed to be at the heart of this problem.61. So far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, _.A. a lot more of them are for itB. a lot more of them are against it
