Have you ever heard of blogs (博客)? If you haven’t, you should have. It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people.

Five people are at our table, including myself. I’ve already learnt a great deal about them in the short time we’ve been at sea, although we rarely meet except at mealtimes.
First of all, there is Dr. Stone. He is a man of about sixty-five, with gray hair and a friendly face. He gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quite country village. As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the army and visited many countries. He’s told us a great deal about the city to which they are going.
Then there is “Grandmother”. I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of being a grandmother, she looks remarkable young, no more than fifty. She is on her way to visit a daughter who went to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
Then there is a man I don’t care for very much, the engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.
The other person who sits at our table is Mrs. Hunt. I’ve found out hardly anything about her. She’s extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult the doctor about children’s various illnesses. She is on her way to join her husband in India

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, king of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground

  1. 1.

    The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because________

    1. A.
      they lived healthily in a dirty environment
    2. B.
      they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
    3. C.
      they believed disease could be spread in public baths
    4. D.
      they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
  2. 2.

    Which of the following best describes Henry IV’ s attitude to bathing?

    1. A.
      Afraid
    2. B.
      Curious
    3. C.
      Approving
    4. D.
      Uninterested
  3. 3.

    How does the passage mainly develop?

    1. A.
      By providing examples
    2. B.
      By making comparisons
    3. C.
      By following the order of time
    4. D.
      By following the order of importance
  4. 4.

    What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

    1. A.
      To stress the role of dirt
    2. B.
      To introduce the history of dirt
    3. C.
      To call attention to the danger of dirt
    4. D.
      To present the change of views on dirt

A serious problem for today’s society is 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 retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits 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 the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement 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 to increase the level of pensions(养老金). Furthermore, some in-situations should be created 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 further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options(选择) have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations

  1. 1.

    According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?

    1. A.
      Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire
    2. B.
      Increase savings levels of people during their working years
    3. C.
      Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old
    4. D.
      Increase the level of pensions
  2. 2.

    The underlined word “viable” in the fourth paragraph most probably means “______”

    1. A.
      impossible
    2. B.
      practical
    3. C.
      perfect
    4. D.
      obvious
  3. 3.

    What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?

    1. A.
      To point out the need for government support for old people
    2. B.
      To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people
    3. C.
      To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem
    4. D.
      To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life
