A daughter’s duty?Adult daughters are often expected to caregive for older parents.In 2007,Jorjan Sarich and her dad oved fro California to Idaho.It was where he wanted to live his rest tie.
“I left y occupation,I left y friends;he did the sae thing,”said Sarich,who bought a house with her father,George Snyder,in the China Gardens neighborhood of Hailey after his health began to decline.Though a graduate student struggling to finish her dissertation(论),Sarich chose to be her dad’s fulltie caregiver.
“It’s only now,several years later,that I’ realizing how uch work it was.It’s the kind of exhaustion(疲惫)that sleep doesn’t cure,” she said.
About 6 illion Aericans provide care to elderly relatives or friends living outside of nursing hoes.Laurel Kennedy,author of“The Daughter Trap”(Thoas Dunne Books,$25.95),says that woen bear a disproportionate(不成比例的)share of the burden—about 70 percent of handson caregiving such as bathing.
“I want to be clear: Woen don’t hate this,” Kennedy said.“What they hate is that everyone just assues they’ll do it.”
Kennedy is calling for a_social_revolution equal to the rise of affordable child care and day care: Eployers should help working caregivers by offering accoodations.en should step up ore often.It’s unfair that woen are always chosen to provide care for an elderly faily eber.
Despite the hard work it took on Sarich—interrupted sleep and the knowledge that his 2009 death was the end gae,she would do it again.Since about half a century had gone by,she wasn’t the person he reebered,and he wasn’t the person she reebered either.Caring for her father changed how each saw the other.
68.Why did Jorjan Sarich caregive for her father?
A.It was a very easy job.
B.She had no work to do.
C.It was the social practice.
D. She lived with her father.
解析:选C。推理判断题。practice意为“惯例;习俗”,根据第一段 Adult daughters are often expected to caregive for older parents.和第四、五、六段可知,女儿照料年迈的父母被认为是一种社会的习俗。Laurel Kennedy提出总是由妇女对年迈的父母提供护理是不公平的。

A.Daughters don’t like caregiving.
B.Daughters devote a lot to caregiving.
C.Caregiving is daughters’ duty.
D.Caregiving should be sons’ duty.
解析:选B。细节推断题。“The Daughter Trap”一书重点写了女儿在照料年迈的父母中承担了大量的工作,然而他们毫无怨言。Kennedy呼吁一场社会的变革,应当像照料孩子那样重视老年人养老问题,儿子也应积极承担更多的责任。
70.What does the underlined phrase“a social revolution” in Paragrarph 6 refer to?
A.The child care revolution.
B.The refor in day care.
C.The social developent.
D.The change in caregiving.
解析:选D。一开始提出了在照顾年迈的父母中女儿承担了太多的工作,因此Kennedy呼吁一场社会的变革。
71.How any years did Jorjan Sarich work as her father’s fulltie caregiver?
A.Five years. B.Only one year.
C.Four years. D.Two years.
解析:选D。细节理解题。在2007年Sarich开始专职伺候父亲直到2009父亲去世,共两年。

You are fro a iddleclass faily,and live in a noralsize hoe without any showy possessions,but you are surrounded by surprising consuption(消费).This contrast is beginning to bother your 6yearold son.You are worried that he will want to live as they do,and wonder if you should ove.
Soeties big pocket oney,joyful birthday parties,special playroos and superbig houses tell you that your neighbors probably have ore oney than you do,and that they’re not as careful as you are with oney,but you ay find that they cook and dig in the garden with their children just as often as you do,talk with the as freely and read to the every night.
Or you ay find that soe of these parents stay in one wing of their big house while their child plays by hiself, way off in a wing of his own.In that unfortunate case,he is basically growing up alone without being looked after properly,but this can happen to a child who lives in a noralsize house,too,if he has a TV,a coputer and a few video gaes in his roo.Even the ost caring parent doesn’t walk in and out of it to see what show her child is watching,what Internet site he has found and if he’s still playing that video gae.
Too uch uncontrolled screen tie ay lead to a certain loss of innocence(天真),but ostly this child will lose the sense of unity and satisfaction that coes fro being in a faily.
A neighborhood should also provide you with a sense of unity and satisfaction,and if it doesn’t,you ight decide to ove.Don’t judge your neighborhood too harshly(严厉地),though.There are soe things that are right with alost any neighborhood and soe things that are wrong with the best of the—like those superbig houses.The wealth of their owners—and the way they throw_oney_around—ay ake your son feel sorry for hiself,unless you help hi understand that you and his dad save soe of the oney,give soe to people who don’t have enough and use the rest to pay for whatever the faily needs.
Children want—should be provided with—explanations when their parents don’t give the what they want.
72.What is the proble with the worried parent in the text?
A.Her house isn’t as big as her rich neighbors’.
B.Her son is left alone without anyone in charge.
C.She cannot provide her son with a special playroo.
D.She worries about the effect of her neighbors on her son.
解析:选D。细节判断题。根据“but you are surrounded by surprising consuption.”和“You are worried that he will want to live as they do.”周围邻居的高消费对孩子的影响令人担忧,选C。
73.In paragraphs 2 and 3,the author sees to agree that parents should ________.
A.spend ore tie with their children
B.give their children ore freedo
C.work hard to lead a richer life
D.set an exaple for their children to follow
解析:选A。推理题。第二段和第三段讲邻居家里很有钱,他们可能对孩子很关注,和孩子一起玩,也可能对孩子不管不顾。从对两种态度的比较可以看出作者觉得应该更多的关注和照顾孩子。
74.By saying “throw oney around”(Paragraph 5),the author eans that rich people ________.
A.spend oney carelessly
B.save oney for their children
C.help the poor people willingly
D.leave oney all round the house
解析:选A。词义猜测题。throw oney around的直接意思是“到处扔钱”。根据“ay ake your son feel sorry for hiself, unless you help hi understand that you and his dad save soe of the oney”可知有钱人“扔钱”是随意乱花的意思。
75.What is the ain idea the author ais to express in the text?
A.Children are unfortunate to have poor parents.
B.Children should enjoy their cofortable life.
C.Children need proper guidance fro their parents.
D.Children feel ashaed of theselves in a rich neighborhood.
