Grandparents Answer a Call
As a thirdgeneration native of Brownsville, Texas,Mildred Garza never planned
to move away.Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help
with their children, she politely refused.Only after a year of friendly discussion
did Ms.Garza finally say yes.That was four years ago.Today all three generations
regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have
had in separate cities.
No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer
to adult children and grandchildren.Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend
is growing.Even President Obama's motherinlaw, Marian Robinson,has agreed to
leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her
granddaughters.According to a study by ,83 percent of the people
said Mrs.Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family.Twothirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far
enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”says Christine Crosby,
publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents.“We now realize how important
family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you're raising
children.”
Moving is not for everyone.Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her
grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say
no and visit frequently instead.Having your grandchildren far away is hard,
especially knowing your adult child is struggling,but giving up the life you know
may be harder.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了祖父母接到后代与他们同住的邀请后该如何做出选择。
1.Why was Garza's move a success?
A.It strengthened her family ties. B.It improved her living conditions.
C.It enabled her to make more friends.
D.It helped her know more new places.
A [细节理解题。根据第一段中的...giving them a closer relationship...可知,Garza搬去和晚辈同住后,他们的关系更亲密了,这与A项的表述“这加强了她的家庭关系”相吻合,故选A项。B、C、D三项表述的内容在文中未提及。]
2.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinson's decision?
A.17% expressed their support for it.
B.Few people responded sympathetically.
C.83% believed it had a bad influence.
D.The majority thought it was a trend.
D [推理判断题。根据第二段中的...83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinson's
decision will influence grandparents in the American family.可知,83%的人认为Mrs.Robinson的决定将影响美国家庭的祖父母,但没说这有不好的影响,故排除C项;由此句也可判断出,17%的人对她的决定是持反对意见或是保持中立态度,而不是支持,故排除A项;根据第二段中的Twothirds believe more families will follow the example of
Obama's family.可知,三分之二的人认为更多的家庭将效仿奥巴马的家庭,由此可知它将成为一种趋势,故选D项,同时排除B项。]
3.What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
A.They were unsure of themselves.
B.They were eager to raise more children.
C.They wanted to live away from their parents.
D.They had little respect for their grandparents.
C [细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句In the 1960s we were all a little wild and
couldn't get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on
our own...可知,在20世纪60年代,人们都有点儿狂野,急于“远走高飞”来证明自己的能力,这与C项的表述“他们想远离父母生活”相吻合,故选C项。A、B、D三项表述的内容在文中未提及。]
4.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A.Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
B.Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C.Sacrifice for their struggling children.
D.Get to know themselves better.
A [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Moving is not for everyone.以及it is wiser to say no and visit frequently可知,作者建议老年人从自己的利益出发,做出选择,A项的表述与此相吻合。根据visit frequently可知,文中指的是祖父母常去看看晚辈,而不是B项的“让他们的孩子多多探望他们”,故B项表述有误;文中虽然有is willing to make
sacrifices和your adult child is struggling,但并不是要让祖父母为晚辈做出牺牲,故C项错误;D项在文中未提及。]

(2017·孝感高三九月调研)We all know what a brain is.A doctor will tell you that
the brain is the organ of the body in the head.It controls our body's functions,movements,emotions and thoughts.But a brain can mean so much more.
A brain can also simply be a smart person.If a person is called brainy,she is
smart and intelligent.If a family has many children but one of them is super smart,you could say “She's the brains in the family.” And if you are the brains behind
something,you are responsible for developing or organizing it.For example,Bill
Gates is the brains behind Microsoft.
Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice.Word experts say the phrase
“brain trust” became popular when Franklin D.Roosevelt first ran for president
in 1932.Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing
the U.S.These professors were called his “brain trust”.
These ways we use the word “brain” all make sense.But other ways we use the
