For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in.The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs.Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom(生育高峰)generation, a longer life span means that the nation's elderly population will expand greatly over the next 50 years.By 2050,25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65,up from 14 percent in 1995.The change sets questions for government and society, of course.But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well.“In addition to the doctors, we're going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California's (USC) School of Gerontology(老年学).

Lawyers can specialize in“elder law”, which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse(虐待) and age discrimination(歧视).Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers,74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history.“Any students who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money, ”one professor says.

Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC.She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it.She says,“I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”

“...Old is suddenly in”(Line 1, Para.1) most probably means “_______”.

       A.America has suddenly become a nation of old people

       B.gerontology has suddenly become popular

       C.more elderly professors are found on American campuses

       D.American colleges have been full of old students

Why can businessmen make money in the growing elder market?

       A.Retirees are more willing to spend money.        

       B.They can employ more gerontologists.

       C.The elderly have a great purchasing power(购买力).

       D.There are more elderly people working than before.

Who can make big money m the new century according to the passage?

       A.Retirees who are willing to spend money.         

       B.The volunteer workers in retirement homes.

       C.College graduates with an MBA or law degree.

       D.Professionals(专业人员)with a good knowledge of gerontology.

It can be seen from the passage that the increase of America's elderly population_______.

       A.will provide good job opportunities in many areas

       B.will be just an unbearable burden on society

       C.may lead to nursing home abuse and age discrimination

       D.will create more students in universities

Sure, human dads can play catch and help with homework, but can they give birth? Daddy sea horses can! This Father’s Day, while you’re showing respect to your dad, remember some of the best dads in the world can also be found in the animal kingdom.
Sea Horses: The "Mr. Moms" of the marine world, male sea horses, carry up to 2,000 fertilized eggs in pouches in their stomachs until they hatch. Even after the babies are born, they stay inside the pouch until they are ready to venture out on their own.
Microhylid Frogs: Buy these dads a "Baby on Board" sign to put on their backs! These froggy fathers from New Guinea play piggyback once their babies hatch from their eggs. One by one, the dad lets as many as 24 froglets climb onto his back for a family road trip. He hops about 50 feet each night, and one by one, his kids jump off along the way to begin new lives of their own.
Darwin's Rheas: Thought your dad was overprotective? Darwin's rhea, also known as South American ostriches(鸵鸟), are so protective of their children that they routinely rush cowboys on horseback and have even been known to attack small airplanes on the ground if they get too close to their brood!
Marmosets: These little monkeys do everything but Lamaze class(心理助产课)! Dedicated dads assist during labor by biting off the umbilical cord(脐带)and cleaning up the afterbirth. They also let Mom get some R&R(rest & recreation)by taking care of the kids when they're not nursing.
Sand Grouse: Talk about sponging off Dad! These pigeon-like birds live in areas where water is sparse, so fathers fly as many as 50 miles to get water for their kids. After they soak up the water in their breast feathers, they fly home and let their chicks suckle the moisture from their bodies.
Fathers of the animal kingdom are not that different from our own beloved dads. This Father's Day, when you are honoring your dad, honor animal dads, too, by practicing kindness and compassion toward all animals.
59.The passage is mainly written to________.
A.introduce to us some unusual animals

Years after throwing a bottle-up note into a lake for a class project and just one year after his death, a man’s childhood message was found and returned to his mother.

Eleven years ago, a then 10-year-old boy, Joshua Baker, wrote the message, folded and put it in an empty container, his mother, Maggie Holbrook said. He died last February in a motor vehicle accident in California. He had recently returned after a serving in the Middle East as a US marine.

“ I think he was just letting us know he was OK and keep doing what we are doing ,” Holbrook said.

The message surfaced in White Lake in late April, just days after the 11th anniversary of its being thrown into the lake. It was found by one of Baker’s closest friends, Steve Lieder, she said. Lieder and two friends were chatting near the lake when Lieder looked down and saw the bottle. He broke it open and found the note inside.

“My name is Joshua Baker. I am 10. If you find this, put it on the news. The date is 4/16/95.”

They immediately took it to Holbrook, who said she is now having the note preserved and will display it in her home.

She can remember when her son wrote the message for the school project. She said she always wondered why he didn’t put it in the nearby Wolf River, which has a much stronger current(水流).

“I still remember the day he wrote it,” Holbrook said. “ I couldn’t understand why he threw it in the lake. No one would never see it again. Now I know.”

B.The mother thinks his son will come to see her one day

C.The mother thinks it’s foolish to throw the note in the lake

D.The mother thinks the bottle is her son’s gift only left to her after his death

4.Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?

A.The man threw the bottle into the lake without any purpose.

B.The man didn’t put the bottle into the nearby river because it had a strong current.

C.Not until recently did his mother understand why he put the bottle into the lake instead of the nearby river.
