For two years, this went on daily with the bearer delivering only 38 pots of water to his masters house.Of course, the perfect pot was pro

It is not only a financial problem but also a question of th
28、e system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-lon
29、g responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does
30、not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the el
31、derly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institution should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable
32、answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these opt
33、ions have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.56What is the passage mainly about? AThe problem faced by the old in society. BWhy we should take responsi
34、bility for the oldCHow we can improve the lives of the old DWhere the old can go to get their pensions. 57According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?ASet aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.BIncrease savings levels of pe
35、ople during their working years.CIncrease the discounts for food and transport for the old.DMake available pensions for those who have retired.58The underlined word “viable” most probably means .Aimpossible.Bpractical.Cuseful.Dsuccessful59What can be concluded from the passage? ATaking care of the o
36、ld is mainly an issue of money. BEmployers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.CBecoming independent should be the goal of most old people.DThere is no single solution to the problems of the old.60What is the writers main purpose in writing this article? ATo point out the need for go
37、vernment support for old people BTo make general readers aware of the problems of retired peopleCTo discuss some possible solutions to an important social problemDTo instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life. BAccording to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are
38、creative every day. To create means “to bring into being, to cause to exist “-something each of us does daily.We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sense to become aware of our world.
39、 This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new und
40、er the sun,” the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.A third part of
41、 creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius (天才), but they are also involved in m
42、any of our day-to-day activities.61. Which of the following activities in NOT a creative one according to the passage? A. To prepare a meal with four and flowers. B. To buy some books from a bookstore. C. To “write” a letter with the computer. D. To arrange the furniture I a peculiar way.62. The aut
43、hor holds the view that creativity is _. A. connected with a deep insight（洞察力）to some extent B. to create something new and concrete （具体的）C. to practice great works of genius D. linked to the courage of achieving new results63. The underlined sentence “There is nothing new under the sun,” really imp
44、lies that _. A. a new thing is only a tale B. we can seldom create new things C. we can scarcely（几乎不）see really new things in the world D. a new thing can only be created at the basis of original things64. What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into
45、 practice? A. To find anew thought will definitely lead to the production of new thing. B. A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor. C. One may come up with a new thought, but may not put it into practice. D. Its more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.65. The best title for this passage is _. A. What is Creativity B. The importance of Creativity C. Creativity a Not Faraway Thing D. How to cultivate Ones Creativity C People do not analyze ever
