Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington University, has written numerous articles 3 and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller: Dr.

30、 Miller: Thank you for that introduction. Today, Id like to preface my remarks with a story from my own life which Ifeel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer bei

31、ng able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting back the tears, he spoke proudly of the fact that he had built their home from the ground up, and that he had pounded every nail and laid

32、 every brick in the process. The prospect of having to sell their home and give uptheir independence, and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them.

33、t important anymore. For them and some older Americans, their so-called “golden years” are at times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of not only ones health but the loss of identity and self-worth. In many societies, this self-identity is closely related with our social status,

34、occupation, material possessions, or independence. Furthermore, we often live in societies that value what is “new” or in fashion, and our own usage of words in the English language is often a sign of bad news for older Americans. I mean how would your family react if you came home tonight exclaimin

35、g, “Hey, come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!” Unfortunately, the word “old” calls to mind images of the need to replace or discard.Now, many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform, medical care, and the development of p

36、ublic facilities for senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, Id like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this

37、group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies. First of all, Id like to talk about . . . 16. What does the introduction say about Dr. Howard Millers articles and books? 17. What is the greatest fear of Dr. Millers grandfather? 18. What does Dr. Miller say

A) It seriously impacts their physical and mental development. B) It has become a problem affecting global economic growth. C) It is a common probl

39、em found in underdeveloped countries.

42、 able to reduce child undernourishment by recruiting a large number of volunteers to travel the countryside teaching about health and nutrition. 4 Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22. The 2010 Global Hunger Index report was released today by the International Food Pol

43、icy Research Institute (IFPRI). It notes that, in recent years, experts have come to the conclusion that undernourishment between conception and a childs second birthday can have serious and long-lasting impacts. Undernourishment during this approximately 1,000-day window can seriously check the gro

44、wth and development of children and render them more likely to get sick and die than well-fed children. Preventing hungerallows children to develop both physically and mentally. Says IFPRIs Marie Ruel, “They will be more likely to perform well in school. They will stay in school longer. And then at

45、adulthood, IFPRI has actually demonstrated that children who were better nourished have higher wages, by a pretty large margin, by 46 percent.” Ruel says that means the productivity of a nations future generations depends in a large part on the first 1,000 days of life. “This is why were all on boar

46、d in focusing on those thousand days to improve nutrition. After that, the damage is done and is highly irreversible.” The data on nutrition and childhood development has been slowly coming together for decades. But Ruel says scientific consensus alone will not solve the problem. “Its not enough tha

47、t nutritionists know you have to intervene then, if we dont have the politicians on board, and also the.people that implement programs in the field.” Ruel says there are encouraging signs that politicians and implementers are beginning to get on board. Many major donors and the United Nations are ta

48、rgeting hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children. They focus on improving diets or providing micro-food supplements. They improve access to pre-birth care and encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a childs life.

So they were providing more food to people,
