听力原文：When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available communi

听力原文： When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when care-giving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do.

Questions:

29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents？

30. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes？

31. According to the passage，what must caregivers learn to do？

(30)

A．They think they should follow the current trend.

B．Nursing homes are well-equipped and convenient.

C．Adult day-care centers are easily accessible.

D．They have jobs and other commitments.

听力原文： Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to find out about the manners of your foreign friends, you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.

A visitor to India must remember that it is not polite for people to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man obviously shaking his head at another to show that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating movement of the head is to show agreement. In Bulgaria you shake your head to show "yes" and nod your head to show "no".

In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs while sitting and talking to someone, even at an important meeting. But doing this will cause anger in Thailand. Also touching the head of an elderly person in Thailand is very impolite.

Knowing about manners is useful when you are traveling, but you also need to know the language used to express the manners.

(30)

A．It is important to master a foreign language.

B．Crossing one's leg is impolite manner.

C．It is important to master the language of a country as well as the manners there.

D．Touching the head of an elderly person in Thailand is very polite.
