everyone who es in contact with them. Their valuesthis cant be repeated too oftenare not necessarily our values. Physical fort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering(干涉) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance(机械维修，保养) as it gets older. You can carry this parison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results will be. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by seeking the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You cant ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while theres life, theres hope.When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.5. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. The values are different between the old and the young.B. The moral problems raised by old people.C. The personal freedom for the old.D. Old peoples viewpoint on life.6. We can know from the first paragraph that_.A. Very old people would like to live alone to have more personal freedom.B.

According to the author, which of the following is right?A. The older a person, the more care he needs.B. Too much emphasis has been put on old peoples values.C. The human body cant be pared to a car.D. It is easy to provide spare parts for old people.8.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “_”.

In this picture, we can see a man is cutting earth in a tunnel, hoping to find some diamonds. He works hard. However, after a long time of pains without gains, he gives up. With one or two more attempts of cutting, he would have seen those diamonds. This story tells us a very simple but important piece of truth: we should be confident in what we have chosen to do and never stop our efforts until we succeed. As a student, I should learn a lesson from the man. Just like the diamonds in the picture, success is just waiting for my last efforts. I have been cutting earth for so many years, so I will not give up until I succeed.
