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 their children, she politely refused.

Only after a

year of friendly discussion did Ms. Gaf 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

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

,

83

percent

of

the

people

said

Mrs.

Robinson

’

s

decision

will

influence

the

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 get away from home far enough or fast enough to

prove we could do it on our own,

‖

says Christine Crosby, publisher of

Grand

, 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.

B. They are truly creative.

D. They are peace-lovers.

C

I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips -----of those , 51

have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells

（干细胞）

in my little box because I've got two ice

packs and that's how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(

捐献者

)

to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we

’

ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of

time.

I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in

Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at

the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:

―

Well, I

’

m really sorry, I

’

ve got some bad news

for you----there are no fights from Washington.

‖

So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said:

―

In this

box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient----please, please, you

’

ve got to get me back

to the United Kingdom.

‖

She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held

for

me,

re- routed(

改道

)

me

through

Newark

and

got

me

back

to

the

UK

even

earlier

than

originally

scheduled.

For this courier job, you

’

re consciously aware that box you

’

ve got something that is potentially going

to save somebody

’

s life.

29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word

―

courier

‖

in Paragraph1?

A. provider

B. delivery man

C. collector

D. medical doctor

The

meaning

of

silence

varies

among

cultural

groups.

Silences

may

be

thoughtful,

or

they

may

be

empty

when

a

person

has

nothing

to

say.

A

silence

in

a

conversation

may

also

show

stubbornness,

uneasiness,

or

worry.

Silence

may

be

viewed

by

some

cultural

groups

as

extremely

uncomfortable;

therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(

间隙

) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups

value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.

Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just

as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is

speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(

暗示

) is that the person wants the listener to consider

what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or

in

relationships

of

people

with

different

amounts

of

power.

For

example,

Russian,

French,

and

Spanish

persons may use silence to

show agreement between parties about

the topic under discussion. However,

Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that

person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign

of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.

Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings

of silence when they come

across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal

and cultural construction of silence so that a patient

’

s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go

on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(

治愈

) value of silence can use this understanding to

assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.

32.

What does the author say about silence in conversations?

A. It implies anger.

B. It promotes friendship.

C. It is culture-specific.

D. It is content-based.

33.

Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?

A. The Chinese.

B. The French.

C. The Mexicans.

D. The Russians.

D. To Washington
