There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A lime­known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries.

It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example，it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated（估计） to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.

What are the implications（暗指） of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state.

Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.

Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Life­long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development.

Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.

To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure：there is no time to be lost.

1.The proportion（比例）of older people________.

A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries

B. is one seventh of the population in developing countries

C. will increase much faster in China than in France

D. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020

2.According to the passage，which of the following are governments most worried about?

A．The diseases and disability of older people.

B．The longer life and good health of people.

C．The loss of taxes on older people.

D．The increasing respect for older people.

3.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?

A．Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.

B．Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.

C．Providing free health care for sick older people.

D．Supplying life­long learning programs to older people.

4.The author concludes in the last paragraph that________.

A．governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem

B．population ageing is a hard problem，but it needs to be solved urgently

C．people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem

D．much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem

People often say that there is nothing in the world that can be as great as a mother’s love. Some mother expressions mean just that. The phrase “mother lode” comes from mining. It means the place where the largest amount of gold can be found. But now, the term “mother lode” means a rich supply of anything. For example, you might say, “She just graduated from college and struck the mother lode with her new job!”

When we call something “the mother of all”, this means it is the biggest or best of something. Here is an example: “We are going to throw the mother of all parties this weekend. So you have to come!”

Naturally, the word “mother” can be used to mean to give birth, even to something you cannot touch, such as an idea or wisdom. The saying “necessity is the mother of invention” means that when people really need to do something, they will find a way to do it. And “experience is the mother of wisdom” means that people learn from what happens to them.

You might think all expressions about mothers are sweet and loving. Not so. A boy who is “tied to his mother’s apron strings(围裙带)” is controlled by his mother. We can also call him a “mama’s boy”. Both of these terms are even more insulting(侮辱人的) if you are talking about a man, not a young boy. It can be a huge mistake for a woman to marry a “mama’s boy” who is still “tied to his mother’s apron strings”.

A show about mothers would not be complete without talking about the very popular but mysterious “Mother Goose”. The short poems and songs that “Mother Goose” wrote are a part of growing up in the United States. Real or not, you could say “Mother Goose” is the mother of all nursery rhyme(童谣) writers.

1.The passage mainly tells us that ________.

A. all mother expressions are about nice things

B. mother is the greatest person in the world

C. there are some expressions about mother in English

D. mother’s love is the greatest thing in the world

2.If you strike the mother lode, you will ________.

A. be rich

B. get injured

C. have to work hard

D. get an easy job

3.When saying “I heard the mother of all songs”, the person means ________.

A. he heard your mother sing songs

B. mothers were good at singing

C. he loved songs about mothers

D. the song he heard was the best

When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it as the most precious thing in the world. Because in some ways, it is.

60 . Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad. And we are reminded that we should try to avoid mistakes. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes — at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.

Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow.   61   . We don’t really consume information and instantly know it or know how to do it. Instead, we get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually; then we construct a model in our mind, test it out by trying it in the real world, make mistakes, revise the model based on the results of our real-world experimentation and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until we’ve pretty much learned how to do it well.

62   . If you succeed at something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do it. You haven’t really grown much from that success — at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes. By trial and error, we try out new strategies and make new discoveries, thus leading to higher payoffs. So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes.    63

A. Just think about how we learn.

B. Everyone can make mistakes in their life.

C. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new.

D. It is natural that we are in a bad mood when we make mistakes.

E. Mistakes are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.
