24、Their parents gently get into a quiet retirement after 50.
But today’s over-50s would not like to follow that.
Baby boomers believe that middle age lasts until they are 70,a study has found. They said they felt “old” only after entering their 70th year.
The findings show that in advanced years baby boomers say that they are still young. After getting their pensions(养老金), they are refusing to quietly finish their days as their parents.
Baby boomers, or those born between 1945 and 1963, have been called the luckiest generation ever after they enjoyed rising house prices. They have enough pensions and live happily.
The US study found three quarters of all baby boomers considered themselves to be middle-aged or younger, even if they were in their 60s.
In general, baby boomers found once they reached their 60s, it was not as bad as they thought. With improvements in health care they are able to spend more time with their grandchildren, travel and do the things they have been putting off for years because of work commitments(约束).
Mrs Smith, a baby boomer at 64, said, “I wouldn’t describe myself as old. I know clearly I’m not young.” The former (早前的)editor of a fashion magazine added, “When you hit your 50s, a new sense of freedom starts to grow in your heart.”

25、 Studies show that language learning in babies is improved when parents speak more than a few simple words and use a wider vocabulary. Earlier research found that the style of speech used by parents to communicate with their baby could increase language development.
One such speaking style is known as “parentese”. Research has shown that babies react better to this kind of language in the first months of life. Generally, “parentese” requires adults to speak in a higher voice and at a slower speed. The language is made easier to understand, while sentences are short and often repeated.
Can parents be taught good ways to improve their “parentese” skills? Patricia Kuhl, a professor of speech and hearing sciences, carried out a study on it. She says the purpose of the study was to find out whether a parent can be “trained” to create their own speaking style to improve language learning in children.
Naja Ferjan Ramirez helped lead the study. “Most parents know that the amount (数量) of language their child hears is important,” Ferjan Ramirez said. “What we shared with them through training is that how they talk to their baby may matter even more. ”
For the study, parents were given a small recording device (设备), which they put inside a piece of their baby’s clothing. All spoken communication from parents and the child was recorded. The recordings were made at three different periods of the child’s life: when the child was six, ten and fourteen months old. The parents were divided into two groups: a control group and an intervention (干预) group. Those in the intervention group received training after their six and ten month recordings.
The study found that between the ages of six and fourteen months, trained parents increased the amount of speech directed to the child and their use of “parentese” by l5 percent. Parents in the control group showed less growth in those areas, about 7 percent.
【1】What can parents do to improve their baby’s language learning?
A.Communicate with their baby with a few simple words.
B.Communicate with their baby with a wider vocabulary.
C.Communicate with their baby using longer sentences.
D.Communicate with their baby in a gentle voice.
【2】What can we learn about “parentese” from the text?
A.It means that adults talk with their babies in a lower voice.
B.It means that the language parents use becomes more difficult.
C.It means that adults talk with their babies more quickly.
D.It means that the sentences parents use are short.
【3】According to Ferjan Ramirez, what do the researchers want parents to know about through training?
A.The importance of the amount of language their child hears.
B.The importance of the type of language their child understands.
C.The importance of the way parents talk to their children.
D.The importance of high and low voices when parents talk to children.
【4】What can be concluded (推断) from the study mentioned above?
A.Trained parents are more likely to improve their children’s language learning.
B.Six to fourteen months is the best time to improve children’s language learning.
C.Parents in the control group used more “parentese” than in the intervention group.
D.Trained parents needed to use “parentese” for at least fourteen months.
26、Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress. This feeling is often called “culture shock”. It is important to understand it and learn how to deal with it if you want to adapt (适应) successfully to your new home’s culture.
Generally speaking, there are four stages that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually referred to as the “excitement” stage. When arriving in a new environment, you’ll be interested in the new culture; everything will seem exciting and everyone will seem friendly.
But it won’t be long before you move from the “excitement” stage to the second stage. The excitement you felt before changes to stress. It seems that everything is difficult. The language is hard to learn, friends are difficult to make and even simple things like shopping have become a challenge. It is at this “stress” stage that you are likely to feel worried and homesick. This is the stage which is referred to as “culture shock”.
However, culture shock doesn’t last for very long. If you are one of those who manage to overcome it, you’ll move to the “recovery” stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment.
The last stage is the “home” stage. This is the stage when you start to feel at home in the new culture. You start to learn from your new home and to like certain aspects of the new culture better than those of your own culture. Culture shock is normal. Everyone in a new situation will go through some form of it. Continue to be brave! And overcoming culture shock will be a piece of cake.
