People in Japan tend to live longer and stay healthier in their later years, with an increasing number of old people living alone. Japan is on a fast track to “ultra-age” with people aged 65 or above accounting for 28 percent of its total population in 2017; it was 26.7 percent in 2015. On the other hand, the number of births in 2017 fell to its lowest (about 941,000) since records began in 1899.

Demand for care services for elderly people has boomed. A shrinking working population means fewer able-bodied adults are available to look after the elderly. There is a shortage of state-provided elderly care facilities (养老院), while private ones are expensive. Any elderly people do not have the heart to burden other family members who may not live nearby. So they choose to live alone, and often die alone.

The country will be short of 380,000 of health nurses by 2025. The government has to turn to advanced robots to meet the shortage. Now about 5,000 nursing homes are testing robots which assist the elderly with a lot of physical issues, even emotional and psychological issues. A study found that using robots encouraged one third of the people to become more active and independent. Yet there is no robot that can provide the emotional support to the elderly by listening to their need, taking care of them and in general making their twilight year (暮年) happy.

Japan provides a case study for China, which is too faced with a fast aging population. 17.23 million babies were born in China in 2017, about 630,000 fewer than in 2016. people aged 60 accounted for 17.3% of China’s population in 2017. With insufficient elderly care facilities and unbalanced supply, China may find it tough to cope with the rapidly increasing number of senior citizens.

To meet the challenge, the Chinese government should make policy changes, which Japan is unwilling or unable to do or even consider. China should pay attention to the signals its aging population is sending and take proper and timely action.

1.What do you learn about the old Japanese?

A.More and more Japanese choose to live on their own.

B.A lot of old Japanese have to continue working at old age.

C.Most of old Japanese remain active with the help of robots.

D.Japanese aged 65 or above make up one third of its population.

2.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.The state-provided care facilities in Japan are affordable.

B.The family members do not have the heart to support the elderly people.

C.By 2025, the Japanese government will have brought in advanced robots to completely replace nurses.

D.Robots can make the elderly people more active and independent by providing emotional support to make their twilight year happy.

3.What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs?

A.Japan has set a good example for China to cope with aging population.

B.China is never too late to deal with its aging population.

C.China is now faced with a fast aging population.

D.Japan’s aging population is a timely lesson for China.

People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.

The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”

Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.

Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph’ to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”

Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “ If you don’t know about them, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”

1.The subject discussed in this passage is _______.

A. how people do research studies

B. how people open up when emailing

C. how to communicate at work

D. how to discuss and solve a problem

2.The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that _______.

A. they didn’t talk about very personal things

B. they couldn’t see each other

C. the cameras on the computers were turned on

D. they had to discuss a question

3.In the writer’s opinion, one should ______.

A. focus on oneself when emailing

B. talk more freely in emails than usual

C. consider how one uses email at work

D. discuss any subject that one wants to

She was born to wealth and power in an era when money and politics were left to the men. Later, as The Washington Post’s publisher, Katharine Graham became one of America’s most powerful women.

Despite a privileged background, Katharine had to deal, while growing up, with the high demands her mother placed on her children. Katharine’s love of journalism, which she shared with her father, led to her career after college at The Washington Post, the newspaper her father bought in 1933. At the Post, Katharine met Phil Graham, a young, charming lawyer who became her husband. When, in 1945, Katharine’s father chose Phil over her to take over his struggling paper, Katharine didn’t object and stayed at home as a wife and mother of four.

While Phil’s successful efforts to restore the Post to prominence (显著) made the Grahams popular members of the Washington social scene, Katharine privately suffered tremendous pain from her husband’s increasingly abusive behavior and wild mood swings caused by severe depression. When Phil committed suicide (自杀), the 46-year-old Katharine found herself thrown into a new job, that of newspaper publisher. But determined to save the family paper for her children, Katharine rose to the challenge of running the Post, attending meetings in every department, working endlessly to prove herself to her critics, and becoming the toast of Washington.

In 1971, Katharine ordered the Post to print a copy of the Pentagon Papers, the top-secret documents disclosing the truth about the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War. What’s more, her courageous decision and support for her journalists prepared the Post to break the most important political story in modern history: Watergate, one of the greatest scandals (丑闻) in American political history. Katharine managed to keep control over the most chaotic (disorder) of situations when it was reported, all the time insisting the news stories be accurate and fair. Watergate made the Washington Post an internationally known Paper and Katharine was considered as the most powerful woman in America.
