When he started his journey, he did not know that it was the beginning of almost 40 years of accidents and near death experiences. During the journey, the train fell into an icy river, killing 12 passengers. Chevalier managed to swim back to the river bank. He only had a broken leg. Two years later, Chevalier was on a plane from Paris to Moscow when a door suddenly opened and he fell out. A few minutes later, the plane crashed; 27 people were killed. Chevalier was so lucky that he landed in a haystack(干草堆).A few years later, he was hit by a bus, but again had no serious injuries. Then a year after that, he was driving on a mountain road when he saw a truck ing straight at him. He drove the car off the road, jumped out, landed in a tree-and watched his car fall 100 meters down the mountain. There are two ways you can look at it, Chevalier said. I m either the world s unluckiest man, or the world s luckiest. When a reporter asked Chevalier what he thought, he chose the luckiest one. Two years ago, aged 71, Chevalier bought his first lottery ticket(彩票) in 50 years and won more than 2 million. After this, a TV pany in America said they wanted him to make an advertisement. At first he accepted, but then he changed his mind. Chevalier said he would not fly to Los Angeles for the filming, because he did not want to push his luck. Who knows? If he had accepted the invitation, maybe he would have had another accident. But Mr. Chevalier is a lucky man. If he had had another accident, he probably would have survived that too! 25.

A. a man with nine lives B. the unluckiest man in the world C. a man who traveled around the world D. a man who earned 2 million in a lotteryCAccording 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 over 50s 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. 28. According to the passage, whats the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly? A. Education. B. Gender. C. Career. D. Ine. 29. The US study finds that_. A. having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parents B. sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old age C. sons are unwilling to leave caregiving responsibilities to their sisters D. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents30. What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. People should give up their job to care for the elderly. B. Many care providers work longer hours than others. C. Many care providers have potential health problems. D. People shouldnt pass on caring responsibilities to others.31.The author develops the text by _. A. explaining social networks of careers B. describing people s experiences C. analyzing various researches and data D. paring different gender behaviorDHow do you get to Carnegie Hall(卡内基音乐厅)?
