A

Getting late for a meeting, “I need to run,” he said, as he put his coat over

the shoulder and rushed out of the house. As he drove away, she came

running down the stairs two at a time. “Wait, wait,” she shouted, but he had

already left.

“He forgot to give me a goodbye kiss,” she said in a low, sad voice that

shook under the weight of the hurt. She called him and said, “You left without

giving me a kiss.” “I am sorry, sweetheart,” he said, his voice shaking. “It is

okay,” she said, trying to be all grown-up as she cut the call.

She ate her breakfast quickly, put on her shoes, picked up her school bag

and started to walk out of the door. Her shoulders were slumped(耷拉) and her

eyes were filled with tears. As she climbed down the steps, a car came to a

stop outside the house. He got out of the car. She ran to him.

“I am sorry I forgot,” he said, as he picked her up and hugged her. She said

nothing. Her jaw ached from smiling.

Fifteen years later, no one would remember he was late for a meeting, but

a little girl would never forget that her father drove all the way back home just

to kiss her goodbye!

What is more important, work or family? Some parents always put work

before everything. But some put family first. Remember, the company will run 2 the same without you and your colleagues(同事) may forget you soon after you

leave. But you are everything to your children.

1．The girl ran down the stairs fast to ________.

A． go to school on time B． go to a meeting on time

A．put their children first

B． pay less attention to work

B

According to a new US study，couples who expect their children to look

after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are

twice as attentive as sons overall.

The research by Angelina Grigoryeva，from Princeton University，found

that，while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can

manage，men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female

family members.

Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded

that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or

not people will actively care for their elderly parents.

In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American

Sociological Association in San Francisco，she concludes that simply having a

sister makes men likely provide less care.

Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study，a study which has been tracking a crosssection of over50s for the last decade，she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care

for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours. 3 “Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister，while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”

“This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to

their sisters.”

In the UK，the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million

people with caring responsibilities，a figure which has risen by a tenth in a

decade.

But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that

those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a

fulltime job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their

working counterparts who are not carers.

4. According to the passage，what’s the most important factor to predict if

people will actively care for the elderly?

A．Education. B．Gender. Career. D．Income.

5．The US study finds that ________.

A．having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parents

B．sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old age

C．sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents

D．sons are unwilling to leave caregiving responsibilities to their sisters

6．What does the author stress in the last paragraph?

A．People should give up their job to care for the elderly.

B．Many care providers work longer hours than others.

C．Many care providers have potential health problems.

D．People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others.

7．The author develops the text by ________.

A．explaining social networks of careers B．describing people’s
