E）“We thought we would see differences based on the housing

10、 types,” said the lead author of the study, Julie Robison, an associate professor of medicine at the university. A reasonable assumptiondont families struggle to avoid nursing homes and suffer real guilt if they cant?37. L）Of course, sons and daughters want to visit the facilities, talk to the admin

11、istrators and residents and other families, and do everything possible to fulfill their duties. But perhaps they dont have to turn themselves into private investigators or Congressional subcommittees. “Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to be happy,” Dr. Sloane said. And

12、involving the future resident in the process can be very important.38. B）Does assisted living really mark a great improvement over a nursing home, or has the industry simply hired better interior designers? Are nursing homes as bad as people fear, or is that an out-moded stereotype (固定看法)？ Can doing

13、 ones homework really steer families to the best places? It is genuinely hard to know.39. H）An elderly person who describes herself as in poor health, therefore, might be no less depressed in assisted living (even if her children preferred it) than in a nursing home. A person who had input into wher

14、e he would move and has had time to adapt to it might do as well in a nursing home as in a small residential care home, other factors being equal. It is an interaction between the person and the place, not the sort of place in itself, that leads to better or worse experiences. “You cant just say, Le

15、ts put this person in a residential care home instead of a nursing homeshe will be much better off,” Dr. Robison said. What matters, she added, “is a combination of what people bring in with them, and what they find there.”40. N）The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there, and so she decid

16、ed to move her into a more welcoming facility. Based on what is emerging from some of this research, that might have been as rational a way as any to reach a decision.41. J）As I was considering all this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk， announcing that the five-star ra

17、ting system that Medicare developed in 2008 to help families compare nursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents or their family members are. As a matter of fact, consumers expressed higher satisfaction with the one-star facilities, the lowest rated, than with th

18、e five-star ones.(More on this study and the star ratings will appear in a subsequent post.)42. F）In the initial results, assisted living residents did paint the most positive picture. They were less likely to report symptoms of depression than those in the other facilities, for instance, and less l

19、ikely to be bored or lonely. They scored higher on social interaction.43. C）I am about to make things more complicated by suggesting that what kind of facility an older person lives in may matter less than we have assumed. And that the characteristics adult children look for when they begin the sear

20、ch are not necessarily the things that make a difference to the people who are going to move in. I am not talking about the quality of care， let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environment with irresponsible staff and a poor safety record. But an accumulating body of research indicates

21、 that some distinctions between one type of elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.44. I）Such findings, which run counter to common sense, have surfaced before. In a multi-state study of assisted living, for instance, University of North Carolina researchers found t

22、hat a host of variablesthe facilitys type, size or age; whether a chain owned it; how attractive the neighborhood washad no significant relationship to how the residents fared in terms of illness, mental decline, hospitalizations or mortality. What mattered most was the residents physical health and

23、 mental status. What people were like when they came in had greater consequence than what happened once they were there.45. G）But when the researchers plugged in a number of other variables, such differences disappeared. It is not the housing type, they found, that creates differences in residents r

24、esponses. “It is the characteristics of the specific environment they are in, combined with their own personal characteristicshow healthy they feel they are, their age and marital status,” Dr. Robison explained. Whether residents felt involved in the decision to move and how long they had lived ther

25、e also proved significant.Section C46. C) It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.47.D) They are ill-bred.48.

D)As we begin to examine our life, Soupios says, we come to Rule No. 2: Worry only abou

28、t things that you can control. “The individual who promoted this idea was a Stoic philosopher. His name is Epictetus,” he says. “And what the Stoics say in general is simply this: There is a larger plan in life. You are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimensions of this plan. Yo

29、u are not going to be able to control the dimensions of this plan.”37. B)The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is timeless, says Soupios. The philosophy professor says it is as relevant today as when it was first written many centuries ago. “There is no expiration (失效) date on wisdom,” he say

30、s. “There is no shelf life on intelligence. I think that things have become very gloomy these days, lots of misunderstanding, misleading cues, a lot of what the ancients would have called sophistry (诡辩). The nice thing about ancient philosophy as offered by the Greeks is that they tended to see life

31、 clear and whole, in a way that we tend not to see life today.”38. F)To have a meaningful, happy life we need friends. But according to Aristotlea student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Greatmost relationships dont qualify as true friendships. “Just because I have a business relationship with

32、 an individual and I can profit from that relationship, it does not necessarily mean that this person is my friend,” Soupios says. “Real friendship is when two individuals share the same soul. It is a beautiful and uncharacteristically poetic image that Aristotle offers.”39. A) Is it possible to enj

33、oy a peaceful life in a world that is increasingly challenged by threats and uncertainties from wars, terrorism, economic crises and a widespread outbreak of infectious diseases? The answer is yes, according to a new book The 10 Golden Rules: Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living a Go

34、od Life. The book is co-authored by Long Island Universitys philosophy professor Michael Soupios and economics professor Panos Mourdoukoutas.40. L)“This is Aesop, the fabulist (寓言家), the man of these charming little tales, often told in terms of animals and animal relationships,” he says. “I think w

35、hat Aesop was suggesting is that when you offer a good turn to another human being, one can hope that that good deed will come back and sort of pay a profit to you, the doer of the good deed. Even if there is no concrete benefit paid in response to your good deed, at the very least, the doer of the

36、good deed has the opportunity to enjoy a kind of spiritually enlightened moment.”41. H)“This was the highest and most desirable form of pleasure and happiness for the ancient Epicureans,” Soupios says. “This is something that is very much well worth considering here in the modern era. I do not think

37、 that we spend nearly enough time trying to concentrate on achieving a sort of calmness, a sort of contentment in a mental and spiritual way, which was identified by these people as the highest form of happiness and pleasure.”42. C)Soupios, along with his co-author Panos Mourdoukoutas, developed the

38、ir 10 golden rules by turning to the men behind that philosophyAristotle, Socrates, Epictetus and Pythagoras, among others. The first ruleexamine your lifeis the common thread that runs through the entire book. Soupios says that it is based on Platos observation that the unexamined life is not worth

39、 living. “The Greeks are always concerned about boxing themselves in, in terms of convictions (信念),” he says. “So take a step back, switch off the automatic pilot and actually stop and reflect about things like our priorities, our values, and our relationships.”43. K)Instead, Soupios says, ancient w

40、isdom urges us to do good. Golden Rule No. 10 for a good life is that kindness toward others tends to be rewarded.44. B)The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is timeless, says Soupios. The philosophy professor says it is as relevant today as when it was first written many centuries ago. “Ther

41、e is no expiration (失效) date on wisdom,” he says. “There is no shelf life on intelligence. I think that things have become very gloomy these days, lots of misunderstanding, misleading cues, a lot of what the ancients would have called sophistry (诡辩). The nice thing about ancient philosophy as offere

42、d by the Greeks is that they tended to see life clear and whole, in a way that we tend not to see life today.”45. J)“This is Hesiod, of course, a younger contemporary poet, we believe, with Homer,” Soupios says. “Hesiod offers an ideawhich you very often find in some of the worlds great religions, i

43、n the Judeo-Christian tradition and in Islam and othersthat in some sense, when you hurt another human being, you hurt yourself. That damaging other people in your community and in your life, trashing relationships, results in a kind of self-inflicted (自己招致的) spiritual wound.”Section C46. D) It usua

C) The wealthy.51. C) Their daily routine followed the rhythm of the natural cycle.52. B) It brought family m

45、embers closer to each other.53. D) Pace of life.54. B) It is varied, abundant and nutritious.55.

46、allySection B36. FIn contrast, the recent surge in world grain prices is trend-driven, making it unlikely to reverse without a reversal in the trends themselves. On the demand side, those trends include the ongoing addition of more than 70 million people a year, a growing number of people wanting to

47、 move up the food chain to consume highly grain-intensive meat products, and the massive diversion （转向） of U.S. grain to the production of bio-fuel.37. KIn response to those restrictions, grain-importing countries are trying to nail down long-term trade agreements that would lock up future grain sup

48、plies. Food-import anxiety is even leading to new efforts by food-importing countries to buy or lease farmland in other countries. In spite of such temporary measures, soaring food prices and spreading hunger in many other countries are beginning to break down the social order.38. CAs demand for food rises faster than supplies are growing, the resulting food-price inflation puts severe stress on the governments of many countries. Unable to buy
