课下作业（二） 话题阅读培优练
Ⅰ.根据提示填空
Women are starting to take power in ?more_and_more_important_positions (越来越多重要岗位) in recent years. According to a new list made by AFP, the world\'s
10 most ?powerful (power) women who made their way above the “glass ceiling”，
include the American first female presidential nominee (候选人) Hillary Clinton and
2
Director General of the World Health Organization, Margaret is something
interesting with the AFP list: A majority of the 10 women are over 60, the age when
some women become grandmothers. In fact, this might be the best proof of how aging
— a factor that has always been considered as a(n) ?disadvantage (advantage) —
has begun to turn into a strong point, for women.
The reasons ?behind_the_phenomenon (现象背后) may include that today\'s older
women are better ?educated (educate) and more experienced than any ?generations
(generation) before.
It is also because of society\'s changing opinion about what women can ?achieve
(achievement) — after ?raising_kids_and_running_family_lives (养育子女和经营家庭生活) for years, older women are now more likely to start again instead of retiring
into a ?peaceful_ (peace) life of cooking and gardening.
0equality In fact, this changing atmosphere in gender
1○(equal) is spreading all
over the world and across women of all ages.
Ⅱ.片段选词填空
tendency， accessible， social， ensure， provide， play a key role in， meet and
make friend， in the real world， social skill， influence our health and well?being
Bars are very important in providing a place where people can ?meet_and_make_friends. People who enjoy a drink in a local bar are happier and have
more friends. They are more likely to be engaged in conversations in small community
pubs, and ?social_skills are improved after a drink.
Professor Robin Dunbar of Oxford University said，“Friendship and communities
are probably the two most important factors ?influencing_our_health_and_well?being. Making and maintaining friendships is
something that has to be done ?in_the_real_world. The digital world is simply no
substitute. Given the increasing ?tendency for our social life to be on the Internet
rather than in real life, having relaxed, ?accessible places where people can meet
old friends and make new ones becomes even more necessary.”
Tim Page, chief executive of CAMRA, said, “Bars offer a ?social environment
to enjoy a drink with friends in a responsible community setting. The role of
community bars in ensuring well?being cannot be overstated. For that reason, we all
need to do what we can to ?ensure that everyone has a ‘local’ near to where they
live or work.”
Bars have long been part of British society and have ?played_a_key_role_in
3
British social life since the 16th century. Bars came to represent the heart and
10providing both a place of entertainment and an engine for soul of a community, ○community bonding. In a world before the arrival of the motor car, the bar provided
a venue in which people could get friendships and a sense of community.

(2019·名校原创预测卷五)Grandparents who help out occasionally with childcare
or provide support for others in their community tend to live longer than seniors
who do not care for other people, according to a study from Berlin,
full?time custody (监护) of grandchildren can have a negative effect on health, but
occasional helping can be beneficial for seniors.
The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70 in the Berlin
Aging participants completed interviews and medical tests every two
researchers did not include any grandparents who were the primary
caregivers for their grandchildren, only those who cared for grandchildren
study team compared this group with seniors who provided support
for non?family members, such as friends or neighbors, and seniors who did not provide
any care for other people.

Overall, after accounting for grandparents\' age and general state of health,
the risk of dying over a 20?year period was one?third lower for grandparents who
cared for their grandchildren, compared with grandparents who did not provide any
childcare.
Half of the grandparents who cared for grandchildren were still alive ten years
after the initial same was true for participants who did not have
grandchildren but supported their adult children in some way, such as helping with
contrast, about half of the participants who did not help others died
within five years after the start of the study.
“Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically
and mentally active，” said Professor Arpino, adding that previous studies suggest
that caregiving may improve cognitive (认知的) functioning, mental and physical
health.
Arpino noted, however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve
health, and too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial
activities like working, being in social clubs, or volunteering.
“Children should take into consideration their parents\' needs, willingness,
and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，” Arpino
suggested.

(2019·名校原创预测卷三)The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she
prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her through
working as a part?time skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn\'t able to
earn enough to live anywhere other than home.
To some degree, multigenerational households (家庭) have always been a part of
American r, the number of young adults who have been moving back in with
their parents — or never leaving home in the first place — has been growing
steadily.
UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the
growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn\'t
want them to leave.
7
The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代) get some kind of
financial support from their parents after college. It finds that millennials have
redefined the ties that connect parents and children. Millennials see their parents
as peers (同龄人), friends and instructors. Nearly three quarters talked with their
parents more than once a week during return, their parents happily provide
financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.
Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Group in the US, said the
number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great
gh job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn\'t
necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the said, “They may
like living at home and being able to save money.”
“There\'s no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases of things
people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to
child?raising，” Hoffman explained.“But they are probably traveling more and
eating out more if they don\'t have a house expense or marriage.I don\'t know if it
represents a change in moral it\'s much more common for adult children
to live in their parents\' homes because it\'s becoming part of the culture.”

A．She is in her thirties.
B．She is ambitious for her career.
C．She can barely make ends meet.
D．She prefers living with her parents.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But through working as a part?time
skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn\'t able to earn enough to live
anywhere other than home”可知，如果不住在家里，通过作兼职滑冰教练和餐馆服务员，Hipp是不能赚取足够的钱来独立生活的，即她很难维持生计。故选C。
6．What\'s the reason for young adults\' living at home according to UBS Financial
Services?
A．The lack of job opportunity.
B．Their parents\' need for them.
C．The high pressure from modern life.
8

解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“one reason for the growing number of
young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn\'t want them to
leave”可知，据瑞银金融服务公司发布的报告显示，越来越多的年轻人住在家里的一个原因是他们的父母不想让他们离开，即他们的父母需要他们。故选B。
7．What does Hoffman think of young adults\' living at home?
A．It will never go out of fashion.
B．It may allow of more travel chances.
C．It results from the change in moral values.
D．It goes against America\'s cultural development.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But they are probably traveling more
and eating out more if they don\'t have a house expense or marriage”可知，在Hoffman看来，年轻人住在家里可能会使他们拥有更多的旅游机会。故选B。
8．What is the author\'s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To introduce different types of living arrangements.
B．To stress the importance of financial independence.
C．To inform people of a social phenomenon in the US.
D．To explain why American young adults still live at home.

Eve”．
According to __4__ (tale) and legends, the beginning of Chinese New Year started
