21、Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third generation 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(数据) show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there are evidence showing that the trend(趋势) is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents. com, 83% of the people say Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t wait to 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(奉献), 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.
【1】Why was Garza’s move a success?
A．It strengthened her family relationship.
B．It improved her living conditions.
C．It offered her chances to make more friends.
D．It helped her know more new places.
【2】 What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision?
A．The majority think it will be a trend.
B．Few people responded sympathetically.
C．83% believed it had a bad influence.
D．17% expressed their support for it.
【3】 What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
A．They were unsure of themselves.
B．They wanted to live far away from their parents.
C．They were eager to raise more children.
D．They had little respect for their grandparents.
【4】What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A. Sacrifice for their struggling children.
B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C. Make decisions for the most good of their own.
D. Get to know themselves better.
22、 Taking paternity leave (陪产假) shortly after the birth of a new son or daughter may be the key to developing strong father-child bonds that last for years, says new research from Ball State University.
“We find that 9-year-olds report greater satisfaction with father involvement,” said Richard Petts, a Ball State sociology professor who carried out the research with Chris Knoester at the Ohio State University and Jane Waldfogel at Columbia University. “They feel closer to their fathers and report better communication with their dads if their fathers take paternity leave, and especially if their fathers take two or more weeks of leave.”
“We found evidence that part of the reason why two or more weeks of paternity leave may lead to 9-year-olds expressing greater satisfaction seems to be that longer periods of paternity leave-taking link to parental relationship satisfaction,” said Petts.
The study is the latest in a series examining the effects of parental leave in the development of children and its influence on the family. It is also the first research known to assess the associations between paternity leave and children’s opinions of father-child relationship quality in the United States, Petts said.
Petts said the findings of the study will help families and policymakers (政策制定者) who aim to strengthen families and improve higher quality father-child relationships.
The present structure (结构) of paternity leave in the United States provides limited opportunities for fathers to take leave and, in fact, often discourages fathers from taking leave, he said.
“The possibility to take leave is often limited to higher-income families,” Petts said. “A lack of a national paid family leave policy limits access to important benefits for American families. The present structure may be increasing inequalities.” Petts said that providing equal access to paternity leave may help to change these patterns and strengthen family relationships.
【1】How was the research probably carried out?
A.By tracking families. B.By talking with mothers.
C.By interviewing the kids. D.By recording children’s behavior.
【2】What is found about paternity leave?
A.It makes young kids become dependent.
B.It is determined by parental relationships.

D.It improves father-child relationship quality.
【3】What do we know about the research?
A.It is welcomed by young fathers. B.It is the first to study parental leave.
C.It is probably helpful to policymakers. D.It is more important than similar studies.
【4】What is the problem with the present structure of paternity leave in the US?
A.Paid paternity leave is only two weeks long.
B.There is no policy to encourage paternity leave.
C.Low-income families think little of paternity leave.
D.High-income fathers are too busy to take paternity leave.
23、 Many small-business owners watched recent revelations about Facebook with mixed emotions. Like most Americans, they were surprised to discover how much information the social media giant collected on its users. But when it comes to small business, Facebook is a transformative advertising platform for small businesses, not easy to replace.
Let's say you own a small seafood restaurant, and Tuesday nights are $1 oyster （牡蛎）nights. Traditional advertising methods cost a lot and must be planned long in advance, and ifs hit-or-miss as to whether you actually get in front of oyster eaters. With Facebook, on Tuesday morning, with a few clicks, you can target Facebook users in your Zip code who love oysters and eating out （and are over age 21, so they can buy drinks, which is why you have $1 oyster nights）. And you can do this for as little as S20.
In my work with small businesses for more than 25 years, I've never seen a more effective method of micro-targeting prospects. Though Facebook is an effective tool for small-business, advertising does not justify （证明合理）the company's collecting vast amounts of data or allowing users' data to be invaded.
"Our primary concern was people's experience on Facebook," said Dan Levy, Facebook's Vice President. "Our teams have also been speaking to small businesses, and they want to make sure we're addressing the situation, and we are."
One concern small businesses want Facebook to address is protecting their uploaded lists. No one wants their customers' information misused or accessed by others, especially competitors.
Small-business owners are rightfully concerned about privacy. They don't want Facebook to know everything about them, and they don't want their customer lists to be let out to others.
But small businesses don't want to lose this effective advertising medium, either. Most Facebook ads are not invasive or offensive. And many receivers may actually benefit from receiving highly targeted ads—after all, those oyster lovers like learning about Tuesday night— $1 oyster night.
【1】How does the author explain Facebook's function in Paragraph 2?
A.By performing an experiment. B.By leading a survey・
C.By analyzing the data・ D.By giving an example.
【2】What is the author's attitude towards Facebook mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A.Objective. B.Supportive.
C.Doubtful D.Respectful.
【3】What makes small businesses concerned about Facebook according to the text?
A.What people experience on Facebook.
B.That Facebook updates the lists constantly.
C.That their competitors benefit more from Facebook.
D.That Facebook will give away their customer lists.
【4】What can be the best title of the text?
A.Facebook is benefiting small businesses
B.Facebook, a mixed bag for small businesses
C.Facebook is protecting customers5 privacy
D.Facebook, a powerful advertisement tool
24、 About 30 years ago, two art thieves dressed as police officers made their way into the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and stole multiple artworks, including a Vermeer painting that was one of only 36 by the artist. With an estimated value of over $200 million, “The Concert” remains one of the most expensive missing items on the FBI's list of stolen art. With the rest of Vermeer's masterpieces spread across 17 collections in seven countries, people have never had the opportunity to see all of Vermeer's works in one place. And since some of his works are now too fragile to travel, they'll have to remain where they are forever.
But now, you can experience all of Vermeer's known artworks in one place for the first time. They're available in Pocket Gallery, a brand new function on the Google Arts & Culture app. You can pull out your phone and step into a virtual exhibition space to see all of his 36 works — including the missing masterpiece and the famous “Girl with a Pearl Earring.”
The Art Camera was set up in several galleries around the world, creating the highest-ever resolution (分辨率) pictures of eight of Vermeer's masterpieces. You can also dive into “in painting tours” and explore expert opinions that shed light on Vermeer's art or mysterious life — you can hear from Tracy Chevalier, author of the bestseller “Girl with a Pearl Earring” and read essays on the artist's life and art.
Visit g.co/meetvermeer, join the conversation with MeetVermeer or download the app on either iOS or Android to try out Pocket Gallery.
