    A daughter¡¯s duty? Adult daughters are often expected to caregiver for older parents. In 2007, Jorjan Sarich and her dad moved from California to Idaho. It was where he wanted to live his rest time.
    ¡°I left my occupation, I left my friends; he did the same thing,¡± said Sarich, who bought a house with her father, George Snyder, in the China Gardens neighborhood of Hailey after his health began to decline. Though a graduate student struggling to finish her dissertation£¨ÂÛÎÄ£©, Sarich chose to be her dad¡¯s full-time caregiver.
    ¡°It¡¯s only now, several years later, that I¡¯m realizing how much work it was. It¡¯s the kind of exhaustion£¨Æ£±¹£©that sleep doesn¡¯t cure,¡± she said.
    About 6 million Americans provide care to elderly relatives or friends living outside of nursing homes. Laurel Kennedy, author of ¡°The Daughter Trap¡± (Thomas Dunne Books, $25.95), says that women bear a disproportionate£¨²»³É±ÈÀýµÄ£©share of the burden ¡ª about 70 percent of hands-on care giving such as bathing.
    ¡°I want to be clear: Women don¡¯t hate this,¡± Kennedy said. ¡°What they hate is that everyone just assumes they¡¯ll do it.¡±
    Kennedy is calling for a social revolution equal to the rise of affordable child care and day care: Employers should help working caregivers by offering accommodations. Men should step up more often. It¡¯s unfair that women are always chosen to provide care for an elderly family member.
    Despite the hard work it took on Sarich ¡ª interrupted sleep and the knowledge that his 2009 death was the end game, she would do it again. Since about half a century had gone by, she wasn¡¯t the person he remembered, and he wasn¡¯t the person she remembered either. Caring for her father changed how each saw the other.
    ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿ Why did Jorjan Sarich caregiver for her father?

    A£®It was a very easy job.B£®She had no work to do.
    C£®It was the social practice.D£®She lived with her father.
    ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ2¡¿What can we infer from the book ¡°The Daughter Trap¡±?
    A£®Daughters don¡¯t like care giving.
    B£®Daughters devote a lot to care giving.
    C£®Care giving is daughters¡¯ duty.
    D£®Care giving should be sons¡¯ duty.
    ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ3¡¿What does the underlined phrase ¡°a social revolution¡± refer to?
    A£®The child care revolution.B£®The reform in day care.
    C£®The social development.D£®The change in care giving.
    ¡¾Ð¡Ìâ4¡¿How many years did Jorjan Sarich work as her father¡¯s full-time caregiver?
    A£®Five years.B£®Only one year.C£®Four years.D£®Two years.

     For Senior 3 students, choosing which college to attend can be the most exciting and thrilling time in their entire school lives. This is also true for an American girl 21  Melanie.

    Melanie¡¯s dad, James Porter, who is the chief of police for a Chicago suburb, wants Melanie to 22 nearby Northwestern University, where she¡¯s 23 been accepted. But Melanie, 17,really wants to go to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C, where she¡¯s been wait-listed.

    When she gets an unexpected 24 from Georgetown University, she decides to 25 a road trip with a few 26 female friends. Melanie believes it is her first step 27 adulthood.

    But 28 the fact that this trip is ¡°girls only¡±, James isn¡¯t 29 with the prospect(ÆÚÍû) of his little princess 30 the world without him. He wants to protect her, so he joins the girls and hopes he can convince Melanie to go to Northwestern. 31 Melanie¡¯s father only has the best of 32 , his presence 33 an endless series of comic encounters£¨ÔâÓö£©.

    After following their faulty device  34  into the backwoods (Æ«Ô¶µØÇø), James and Melanie  35  Melanie¡¯s little brother and his pet pig have been hiding in the spare compartment (¸ô¼ä). What should be a simple change  36  the expensive car rolling down a mountain, forcing them to hike to a nearby hotel¡­

    All these disasters add spice to their trip while along the way a father and a daughter  37  get the chance to really  38  each other.

    All parents,  39  they have college students or not, can relate to the bittersweet realization that their kids are growing up.  40  what Melanie and James have done, we all can find the delicate (´àÈõµÄ) balance between staying connected and letting go.

    A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer¡¯s showroom, and knowing his father could well  41  it, he told him that was all he wanted.

    As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs  42  his father had bought the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private   43  . His father told him how   44   he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He   45   his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but   46   disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man¡¯s   47   embossed (ѹӡ¸¡Í¹)in gold.

    Angrily, he   48   his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible£¨Ê¥¾­£©?" He then stormed out of the house,   49  the Bible.

    Many years  50   and the young man was very   51  in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very   52  , he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.   53  he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had   54  , and willed all of his possessions to his  55  . He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

    When he arrived at his father¡¯s house, sudden sadness and   56   filled his heart. He began to search through his father¡¯s important papers and saw the   57   new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.

    With   58  , he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer¡¯s name, the   59  dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the word ¡°PAID IN FULL¡±.

    An Act of Kindness

    Mother was making a dish for Mrs. Smith next door ,   36  six-year-old Susie came up and   37   why Mommy was doing so .

    ¡°Because Mrs. Smith is very sad: she lost her daughter and she has a broken heart. We need to take care of her   38   .And when someone is very , very sad , they have trouble doing the   39  things like making dinner or other housework . Because we¡¯re part of a   40   and Mrs Smith is our neighbor , we need to do some thing to help her. Mrs Smith won¡¯t   41   be able to talk with  or hug her daughter or do all those wonderful things that mommies and daughters do together. You¡¯re a very smart girl , Susie ; maybe you¡¯ll think of some way to help take care of Mrs. Smith.¡±

    Susie thought seriously about this  42   and how she could do her part in   43  Mrs. Smith. A few minutes later , Susie knocked on her door. After a few moments , Mrs Smith   44   the knock with a ¡°Hi , Susie¡±.

    Susie noticed that Mrs. Smith didn¡¯t have that   45   musical quality about her voice when she greeted someone, and she also looked as though having been   46   because her eyes were weary and swollen(Ö×ÕÍ). ¡°What can I do for you , Susie ?¡± asked Mrs. Smith.

Mrs. Smith knelt down and hugged Susie , choking back her tears.   50  her tears she said ,¡±thank you , darling girl, this will help a lot.¡±

    Mrs. Smith accepted Susie¡¯s act of kindness and took it one step   51   . She bought a small key ring with a picture frame ----  52   designed to carry keys and proudly display a family portrait at the same time. Mrs. Smith placed Susie¡¯s Band ¨CAid in the frame to   53  herself to heal a little every time she sees it. She wisely knows that healing takes time and support . It has become her  54   for healing ,    55  forgetting the joy and love she experienced with her laughter.
