Marys father took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and put each on a big fire. Soon the pots started to boil（沸腾）. In one he put carrots, in the second he put eggs, and in the last he put coffee powder. He watched them boil, without saying a word. Mary waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the fire. He took the carrots and eggs out and put them on different plates. Then he poured the coffee in a cup. He asked, Mary, what do you see?He asked Mary to touch the carrots. She found that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. She saw a hard-boiled egg after taking off the shell.

Today,10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society (社会) in many ways education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the growing of America has made us a very different society one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A persons age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position (职位、地位), marriage or health. Theres no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isnt as strong as it used to be. It doesnt surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.Many people say, I am much younger than my motheror my fatherwas at my age. No one says Act your age any more. Weve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.（1）It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America _.A . has made people feel youngerB . has changed peoples social positionC . has changed peoples understanding of ageD . has slowed down the countrys social development（2）The underlined word one in the first paragraph refers to_.A . a societyB . AmericaC . a placeD . population（3）Act your age in the last paragraph means people should _.A . be active when they are oldB . do the right thing at the right ageC . show respect for their parents young or the oldD . take more physical exercise suitable to their age（4）If a 20-year-old man becomes general manager of a big company, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _.A . normalB . wonderfulC . unbelievableD . unreasonable二、 任务型阅读 (共2题；共10分)5. （5分）任务型阅读It was December.
