In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.

It is home to about 400 elderly people and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center-a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond（结成友好的关系）.Established in 1991, the ILCs purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded.“For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is normalized , which may be the most important benefit they receive ,” Hoover said. “ Ive had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened to be in a wheelchair.”As for the seniors, theyre delighted by the panionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can bee lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a munity. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility.1ILC is intended to _.Abuild a typical senior living munity Btake good care of the childrenCbenefit both the children and the seniors Drid the seniors of loneliness2From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _.Akeep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILCBe to realize that aging is a normal part of lifeCtake different attitudes to the elderly after graduationDthink it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC3The last paragraph mainly tells us _.Athe benefits the seniors receive Bthe situation of the seniorsCchildrens pany Dthe interaction between the children and the seniors4The underlined words in the last paragraph may refer to _.Aa special building Ba typical familyCa typical teaching program Da special learning center4、 Every January for the past 20 years, I have taken a few moments to ponder(思考) the answer to the big question, “What is the meaning of life?” Its one of those enormous questions that are soimportantphilosophically(哲理地) and practically in terms of how we live our livesand yet we never stop to really think about the answer. If you might be able to get your response in less than a minute, the wisdom-to-effort rate for this exercise could not be more advantageous. I tend to ponder such things as the creator of the Wisdom Project, a collection of writings about the wisdom in everyday life experiences. The reason I ask this question year after year is that my answer changes over time, which I find interesting and meaningful. There is no only correct answer, I believeonly answers that are right for you at any given time. My favorite answer, though, is the Zen-like circular reasoning attributed to writer Robert Byrne, who put it, The purpose of life is a life of purpose. Some people have concluded that lifers meaning is subjective. There is not one big universal meaning for all,” author Anais Nin wrote in her diary. There is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person. Taking a few moments to record your response to the question What is the meaning of life? is the kind of simple exercise that effectively adds meaning to your life. And then I suggest answering it every year. Looking back at how your thinking has evolved and been influenced by experience tells you something more about yourself. Cumulatively (累积地), it gets you closer to a deeper self-understanding. Whatever small step you take toward finding the meaning of life is a step toward a more meaningful and longer life.1.Why does the author ask the question every year?A.To get the response in less than a minute.B.To get the correct answer to the meaning of life.C.To find different answers interesting and meaningful.D.To leam the wisdom in everyday life experiences by himself.2.What have the examples of Robert Byrne and Anais Nin proved?A.Our life should be a life of purpose.B.The answer of the two persons is the best one.C.Everyone has his or her own answer at any given time.D.Lifes meaning is philosophically and practically important.3.What does the author suggest people do about adding meaning to your life?A.Try asking others about what their opinions are.B.Understand yourself more by answering it every year.C.looking back at your life influences your meaning of life.D.Write down their responses to the question and do more exercise.4.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Everyone should ask the meaning of life.B.Life is meaningful when you find an answer.C.Life changes when we begin to find its meaning.D.Live a more meaningful and longer life.5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A series of surveys have shown most students fail to use proven methods of learning effectively, instead wasting their time onineffective methods. _, the potential pitfalls, and the ways that they can use them more effectively. Strategy 1 : Rereading Learning new vocabulary?_ Unfortunately, psychologists believe that it is too passive, meaning that most of the information fails to leave an impression. Strategy 2 :_ Like rereading, this study technique is nearly ubiquitous (无所不在的). The idea makes sense: the process of underlining key words and phrases should help you to engage more with the information, and it makes it easier to identify the most important passages later on. But although it can bemore effective than passive rereading, underlining and highlighting often fails to work, with most students mindlessly marking up almost every paragraph without much discernment. Strategy 3 : Note-taking _, and you will find students carefully copying the most important facts into their notebooks. Like underlining and highlighting, the problems e when you fail to be judicious about the material you are including. Strategy 4 : Outlining Many teachers encourage their students to take a birds eye view of the course they are studying, presenting an overview of the key points to be learned in a structured, logical manner._. But they may also encourage thestudent to do it for themselves.A.Underlining and highlightingB.Visit any lecture theatre or libraryC.Underlining key words and taking notesD.The best strategy is to read more effectivelyE.Sometimes these outlines are created by the instructor themselvesF.The most mon strategy is to read the words and their meanings until they stickG.Fortunately, a new paper has examined misconceptions, with a list of the four most popular study strategies6、 Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula Grande in the Andes mountains.
