I just returned to Washington, DC, after a week in Redmond, Wash, a suburb of Seattle. Id gone out there to help my 81-year-old Dad go through tough surgery and I only had a few days to get him home from the hospital and make sure he was safe and comfortable before I had to take the cross-country trip back. While at the hospital, in the grocery checkout, or in line at the pharmacy, I saw others just like me adult children or other caretakers doing what they could to help out an aging parent. Assisting a frail parent to walk, leaning in to hear a dry whisper of a voice, chuckling over some shared family memory these are scenes repeated hundreds if not thousands of times each day in this country. Im sure there are a lot of people dealing with painful choices that come from long distances and hectic (忙碌的) schedules. Its hard to watch your parents grow old and fragile. The man who tossed a baseball with me for hours or took such meticulous (无微不至的) care when we built model WWII airplanes now needs help to get into the shower so his surgical wound doesnt get wet. My mom is still recovering from major heart surgery, so when I wasnt assisting my father, I was helping take her blood pressure, sorting her pills, urging her to eat more and walk a bit with me. “Trading Places” wont solve any issues coming from aging parents, but perhaps talking about it will make dealing with these issues a little easier. One thing it cant do is to erase the last image I have of my parents from this trip the two of them standing close, smiling tightly and trying hard not to cry, waving a slow goodbye to me as my car pulled away. No, there is nothing to help you deal with that.31. How was the writers father?A. He had an operation. B. He was too old to walk.C. He felt lonely. D. He was hard to attend to.32.

We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Lets look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative（消极的）meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a persons serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel. There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures.

For many years, people have cut down too many forests for their own benefit and havent replanted the trees. Now when it rains, soil is washed away and large areas of land become desert. So when strong wind blows, sandstorms occur. Many factories pipe untreated water into rivers directly, and release poisonous gas into the air, which causes acid rain. To protect our earth, we should stop such destruction. We should plant more trees and take good care of them. Laws must be made to monitor or punish those who damage the environment. The most important thing is to teach people how to preserve the earth, so that it will benefit the following generations.
