But again he was wrong. His grandfather, Ralph, was struck ill in his junior year of college and he didn’t know how serious it was until he fell and hurt his hip (臀). While in the hospital, the doctors 40     a tumor (瘤) in his lungs. They told him that he had lung cancer and due to previous illnesses, they could not operate and he was too 41  for chemotherapy (化疗).

It was around Thanksgiving and by Christmas his condition worsened. The cancer spread and in late January his sister away at college too, called him crying and said she was on her way home because the doctors told their family that their 42  had only a week to live, that by the weekend he would 43 ________be with them. Their family came in from around the country and stayed next to his side.

It was not until then that he 44  that true love did exist and would survive beyond death. Every night as his grandfather grew more fragile, he would 45  sweet words to grandmother, Madge. The night before he died grandmother was walking out of his room and he said to her “I love you Madgie baby”.

The next morning he received a phone call at work that grandfather had passed during the night. Throughout his short battle 46  cancer, he realized how much two people can love each other and he realized how much it means to be loved and give love. It is the greatest 47  on earth and it lasts beyond life because you never forget your one true love.

Many of us believe that a person’s mind becomes less active as he grows older．But this is not true，according to Dr．Lissy F．Jarvik，professor of psychiatry(精神病学)at the University of California，Los Angeles，and a board member of the New Center for Aging at the Veterans Hospital．She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years.For example，one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of twins, who were first examined when they were already 60 years old．As Dr．Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s，their minds did not generally decline(下降)as was expected．

However，there was some decline in their psycho-motor(精神运动的)speed． This means that it took them longer to accomplish mental tasks than it used to．But when speed was not a factor，they lost very little intellectual (智力的) ability over the years.In general，Dr．Jarvik’s studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability．This is true not only into the 30s and 40s，but into the 60s and 70s as well．

As for learning new things，and ability to remember，studies by Dr．Jarvik and others show that the old are equal to the young．It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was．However，much of  what we call“loss of memory”is not that at a11．

In the cases where the older person’s mind really seems to decline，it is not necessarilv a sign of a decay due to becoming old or“senility”．Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional state．This depression usually can be got rid of by counseling(咨询)with a psychologist，or medicine which fights depression.

In American society，when an older person loses something，we tend to call him or her“senile”．But notice that when a younger person loses something，he does not blame it on senility or loss of memory．He finds some other excuse!

1.A long-term study of 136 pairs of twins showed that the only factor that declined over the years was  .

2.According to Dr．Jarvik’s studies，middle-aged and older persons should expect to     .

3.The word“senility”most likely means       .

4.Both younger and older persons should realize that          .

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (准允), he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated (受挫), but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?

This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.

Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.

I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique (独特的). It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.

1.Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him ______.

A. work fast                          B. go polite                     C. stay relaxed                    D. keep attentive

2.The underlined “it” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to ______.

A. his son’s doing better while standing up

B. his failure in keeping his son under control

C. his own experience as a school boy

D. his disappointment with his active child

3.By this passage, the author attempts to tell other parents to ______.

A. correct their kids’ manners from the early ages

B. respect and trust their kids’ ways of behaviors

C. develop a good relationship with their children

D. guarantee their children’s freedom at home

4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. Parental help with teens’ study

B. Adult influence on teen growth

C. Kids’ success in their own styles

D. Friendship between generations
