B. Sports. C. Education. D. Travel.BAccording to a new US study，couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall. The research by Angelina Grigoryeva，from Princeton University，found that，while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage，men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents. In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco，she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care. Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study，a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over50s for the last decade，she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours. “Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister，while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.” “This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters.” In the UK，the xx Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities，a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade. But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a fulltime job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.24. According to the passage,whats the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly?AEducation.BGender.CCareer. DIne.25The US study finds that _.Ahaving a sister makes men less likely to look after their parentsBsons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old ageCsons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parentsDsons are unwilling to leave caregiving responsibilities to their sisters26What does the author stress in the last paragraph?APeople should give up their job to care for the elderly. BMany care providers work longer hours than others.CMany care providers have potential health problems.DPeople shouldnt pass on caring responsibilities to others.27The author develops the text by _.Aexplaining social networks of careersB. describing peoples experiencesCparing different gender behaviorDanalyzing various researches and dataCReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing. turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing bines both.” Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it. People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.28. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book. B. An adventure. C.A public place. D. The identification number.30. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase. C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A new Trend C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through Books DIt also found that nearly half of students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.Being bullied can have a negative impact on a childs personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. “Children being bullied will find it hard to trust others,” Zhou said. “They may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment（愤恨） or depression(沮丧). These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.” In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijings Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder（ASD,急性应激障碍）. The Supreme Peoples Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in xx. Meanwhile, there was a notable（显著的） increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old. Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting（促进）munication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their childrens educational experience, as their presence and panionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects. 32. Who is the most likely to bee the target of bullying? A. A 10-year-old girl from a key schoolB. A 10-year-old boy from a poor family C. A 17-year-old boy from a rich familyD.
