Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle (奇迹) of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process (过程). But growing old？ That's a different story. Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented (以年青人为中心) American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, "You're as young as you feel." Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least "young at heart".
Many older Americans find the "golden years" to be anything but golden. Economically, "senior citizens" often struggle just to get by. Retirement (退休) at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security (安全) benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition (营养), medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely — even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect. Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why？ People are living longer. Fewer babies are being horn. And middle-aged "baby boomers" are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are "in". Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers.
Growing up is a wonderful thing because______.
A．people can celebrate their birthdays
B．people can become more mature and wiser
C．people can receive many presents
D．people will feel younger at heart

Problems of College Students
Today&39;s college students are more narcissistic (自恋的 ) and self-centered than their predecessors, according to a comprehensive new study by five psychologists who worry that the trend could be harmful to personal relationships and American society.
"We need to stop endlessly repeating &39;You&39;re special&39; and having children repeat that back, " said the study&39;s lead author, Professor Jean Twenge of San Diego State University. "Kids are self-centered enough already." "Unfortunately, narcissism can also have very negative consequences for society, including the breakdown of close relationships with others, " he said. The study asserts that narcissists "are more likely to have romantic relationships that are short-lived, at risk for infidelity, lack emotional warmth, and to exhibit game-playing, dishonesty, and over-controlling and violent behaviors." Twenge, the author of "Generation Me : Why Today&39;s Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled--and More Miserable Than Ever Before" , said narcissists tend to lack empathy, react aggressively to criticism and favor self-promotion over helping others.
Some analysts have commended today&39;s young people for increased commitment to volunteer work. But Twenge viewed even this phenomenon skeptically, noting that many high schools require community service and many youths feel pressure to list such endeavors on college applications.
Campbell said the narcissism upsurge seemed so pronounced (非常明显的 ) that he was unsure if there were obvious remedies. "Permissiveness seems to be a component, " he said. "A potential antidote would be more authoritative parenting. Less indulgence might be called for."
Yet students, while acknowledging some legitimacy to such findings, don&39;t necessarily accept negative generalizations about their generation.
Hanady Kader, a University of Washington senior, said she worked unpaid last summer helping resettle refugees and considers many of her peers to be civic-minded. But she is dismayed (气馁; 灰心) by the competitiveness of some students who seem prematurely focused on career status. "We&39;re encouraged a lot to be individuals and go out there and do what you want, and nobody should stand in your way, " Kader said. "I can see goals and ambitions getting in the way of other things like relationships."
Kari Dalane, a University of Vermont sophomore, says most of her contemporaries are politically active and not overly self-centered. "People are worried about themselves--but in the sense of where they&39;re going to find a place in the world, " she said. "People want to look their best, have a good time, but it doesn&39;t mean they&39;re not concerned about the rest of the world."
Besides, some of the responses on the narcissism test might not be worrisome, Dalane said. "It would be more depressing if people answered, &39;No, I&39;m not special.&39;"
According to the passage， a narcissistic person may__________. 查看材料
A.hate criticism
B.be dishonest to his/her partner
C.be unwilling to help others
D.all the above

How to Stay Young
If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding by a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercises, and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.
Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurement of the volumes of the front and side sections of the brain, which are related to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)
Contraction of front and side part-as cells die off-was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age: using the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. "The best way to maintain good blood circulation is using the brain, " he says. "Think hard and engage in conversation. Don't rely on pocket calculators. "
The team of doctors wanted to find out______.
A．why certain people age sooner than others
B．how to make people live longer
C．the size of certain people's brains
D．which people are most intelligent

This process is called interactive banking. On these online branches, customers will be able to view all their accounts, move money between their cards. Customers will also be able to pay their bills electronically and even email questions to the bank. Banks are creating online services for several reasons. One reason is that banks must compete for customers who will switch to another bank if they are dissatisfied with the service they receive. The convenience of online banking appeals to the kind of customer banks most want to keep, that is people who are young, welleducated and bare good incomes, Banks also want to take advantage of modem technology since they have moved into the 21st century.

There are the usual questions about coping with celibacy and the restrictions that this puts on personal relationships. But there is real curiosity, too, about why an "otherwise normal" person would take on such a life.
"There is a genuine interest in the whole area of spirituality and the spiritual life," Harper says, "The contrast has never been greater than it is now between the religious and secular paths. " Many young people head for a life in the church, he says, after attending Catholic schools where the emphasis is placed on religious observance, ritual and the importance of obedience and personal humility. But in today's world it is becoming increasingly difficult for such young people to ignore what is happening in the secular world behind the church. Many priests and nuns have left the safety of the ordered religious life in the past couple of decades. But they have not done so without a struggle. Harper can identify with the experience of those who leave.
"It is so much easier to join up than it is to quit," he says, "It's like in personal relationships, they're easy enough to get into, but extricating yourself from one that's not working or that you're not happy with can be very difficult indeed. "
Steven Mc Callanan, a parish priest, is frank about his life in church. He sums it up: "If you are prepared to see life in all its color then go ahead, take orders. But don't think it will be easy. I face problems every day. "
Harper believes the religious life attracts a true cross-section of people, from the extrovert to the shy and retiring, although many are drawn by the church's emphasis on ritual and performance. If one were to generalize, though, most priests have the kind of artistic temperaments that would "I know some brilliant men and women in the church, then I know some tried and disillusioned ones and some who are struggling with their own kind of personal demons," says Harper. He says it is a shame that the Catholic community has traditionally put priests on a pedestal, "up there with God", whereas in fact they are just like everyone else: flawed and vulnerable, make them good actors or performance poets-and social drinkers.
"Being a priest just happens to be a career, admittedly a specialized one and one that demands a certain range of qualities. But priests are just as frail and weak as the rest of us."
Harper has made a television programme about priests, monks and nuns in the Catholic Church. The message he gave to those who took part in his documentary was: "We are not trying to trip you up or make you appear strange or foolish. We are just trying to answer what we think are some generally asked questions about your attitudes, your dilemmas, and the kinds of lives you lead. "It makes fascinating viewing.
People are always curious about ______.
A．why a person would like to be priest
B．who would like to be priests
C．what is inside a church
D．what education priests may get
