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

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 by ,

83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influencegrandparents in the American

family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the exampl

e 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.

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

新东方在线高考网（

/

）

got two ice

packs and that’s how long they 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 flights 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 thatin that box you’

ve got something that is

potentially going to save somebody’s life.

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

新东方在线高考网（

/

）

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.

C. It is culture-specific.

B. It promotes friendship.

D. It is content-based.

33.

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

A. The Chinese.

C. The Mexicans.

B. The French.

D. The Russians.

34.

What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?

A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.

B.

Break

it

while

treating
