Ⅲ.阅读理解
In many ways, Providence Mount St.Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community.It is home to about 400 elderly residents and provides them with different types of assistance.However, it is also the Intergenerational Learning Center—a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond.
Established in 1991, the ILC's purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while they
are also being nurtured(培养；养育)．It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions.Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC.The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors.Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded.
“For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized', which may be the most important benefit they receive，”Hoover said.“I've had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened to be in a wheelchair.”
As for the seniors, they're delighted by the companionship the children provide.The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents.Many of the residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely.Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like.Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community.The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility. 语篇导读
