　　America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.

　　A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.

　　Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

　　1. It can be learned from the text that the aging of the population in America ________.

　　A. has made people feel younger

　　B. has changed people’s social position

　　C. has changed people’s understanding of age

　　D. has slowed down the country’s social development

　　2. The underlined word “one” refers to ________.

　　A. a society

　　B. America

　　C. a place

　　D. population

　　3. “Act your age” means people should ________.

　　A. be active when they are old

　　B. do the right thing at the right age

　　C. show respect to their parents young or old

　　D. take more physical exercises suitable to their age

　　4. If a’ 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _________.

　　A. normal

　　B. wonderful 

　　C. unbelievable

　　D. unreasonable

　　1. C 主旨题。根据第一、二段的最后一句及第三段可判断。

　　2. A 细节题。one是a society的同位语且后面跟了一个定语从句，可以通过分析句子结构得出正确答案。

　　3. B 细节题。全文最后一句话给出了提示。

　　4. A 推理题。可仔细阅读第二段中倒数第二句话。

　　your day?

　　One day I was in a taxi and we headed

　　37

　　the airport. We were driving in the right lane

　　38

　　suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, slide sideways, and at the very last moment our car stopped and narrowly

　　39

　　the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started

　　at us.

　　My taxi driver just

　　41

　　and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really

　　42 . So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”.

　　He

　　that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of

　　44 , full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage

　　45

　　up, they need a place to dump (倒) it and sometimes they’ll dump it on

　　. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

　　Believe me. You’ll be more

　　47 . Don’t take their garbage and

　　48

　　it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets, Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with

　　49 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s

　　50

　　in your life. Roy Baumeister, a psychology researcher from Florida State University, found in his extensive research that you

　　51

　　bad things more often than good things in your life. You store the bad memories rather easily, and you

　　52

　　them more frequently.

　　So...Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you

　　53

　　it!

　　When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by

　　54

　　go of the bad. Have a Garbage Free Day！Have a marvelous, garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today

　　the harvest you reap tomorrow.
