Part II: Reading Comprehension (40%)

In contrast with that of old China，ours is young culture which has tended Io challenge and reward youth．The old are pushed aside and given reduced status．In our drama，our literature，our advertising，and most other phases of our culture，youth gets the spotlight；youth is looked upon as the golden age．This accent on youth creates undue hardships for the aging and the aged．The old are sometimes tolerated, but too seldom valued．After having been important during most of their lives，they ale too often regarded as the scrap heap．The roles expected of old people in such a setting give too few psychological satisfactions for normal happiness．So old age has come to be looked upon by many as all unhappy time，as an unfortunate circumstance， and as the least desirable of all of life’s stages．
The possibility of older people being neglected by our economy and society in general means personal trouble for many．When these troubles affect enough people，they become public problems．Older men and women must regain their chance to be useful people once again，to earn a living，to have financial security，to live in adequate housing，to receive educational，medical，and social services when necessary，and to take part in the ongoing social and spiritual life of their community．Most of all, they must regain the chance to live as free human beings with dignity and respect in harmony with our American democratic principles．
To bring these conditions about is the concern of many agencies, both public and private，working at the local，state，and national levels． Many of the problems to be solved lie within the province of health and welfare, departments， of social agencies， of recreation division，housing authorities，employment agencies，and other community groups．Some involve questions of social policy which eventually will have to be worked out through legislative channels，through labor-management agreements，and through changes in public opinion and attitudes． In nearly all of them，however，education has an important part to play；it has a broader responsibility for their solution than any other field．Many of the problems can be prevented or solved by the right kind of adult education．

Let children learn to judge their own work．A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time：if corrected too much，he will stop talking．He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use．Bit by bit (渐渐地)，he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples．In the same way，children learn to do all the other things they want to do without being taught—to walk，ran，climb， whistle，ride a bicycle——compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes．But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistake unless it was pointed out to him，or would never correct it unless he was made to．Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher．Let him do it himself．Let him work out，with the help of other children if he wants it，what this word says, what the answer is to that problem，whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not．
If it is a matter of right answer，as it may he in mathematic or science, give him the answer book．Let him correct his own papers．Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work。 Our job should help the child when he tells us that he can not find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades，exams and marks．Let us throw them all out，and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn -----how to measure their own understanding， know what they know or do not know.

A unique laboratory at the University of Chicago is busy only at night．It is a dream laboratory where researchers are at work studying dreamers．Their findings have revealed that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night，although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams．
While the subjects--usually students--are asleep，special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of the dreams．Surprisingly，all subjects sleep soundly．
Observers report a person usually fidgets before a dream．Once the dream has started，his body relaxes and his eyes become more active，as if the curtain had gone up on the show．As soon as the machine indicates that the dream is over，a buzzer wakens the sleeper．He sits up，records his dream，and goes back to sleep---perhaps to dream some more．
Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream，he usually recalls the entire dream．If he is allowed to sleep even five more minutes，his memory of the dream will have faded．

The World Bank is one of the largest suppliers of development assistance. Its main goal is to improve living conditions for poor people throughout the world. Last year, it provided more than seventeen-thousand-million dollars in loans to developing countries to help end poverty.
The money went to efforts like debt reduction for some of the poorest countries in the world. That program was designed to increase debt assistance and provide it faster than in the past. As a result, twenty-three countries received debt assistance last year as compared to seven countries the year before.
The World Bank does more than just provide loans, however. It believes that continued poverty reduction comes from investing in the people of a country – especially through education and health programs.
The World Bank employs engineers, economists, public policy experts and social scientists to create these kinds of programs. These professionals also provide developing countries with the necessary technical help to carry out the programs.
The Bank has helped to make great progress in developing nations, where life expectancy (寿命) has increased and baby and child deaths have decreased, and more adults now can read than in the past.
