Having experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Franco’s world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to

According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.
The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, from Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.
Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.
In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.
Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over-50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.
“Sons reduce their relative care-giving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”
“This suggests that sons pass on parent care-giving responsibilities to their sisters.”
In the UK, the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.
But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full-time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.
28. According to the passage, what’s the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly?
A. Education. B. Gender. C. Career. D. Income. 29. The US study finds that ________.
A. having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parents B. sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old age C. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents
D. sons are unwilling to leave care-giving responsibilities to their sisters 30. What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. People should give up their job to care for the elderly. B. Many care providers work longer hours than others. C. Many care providers have potential health problems. D. People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others. 31. The author develops the text by ________. A. explaining social networks of careers C. comparing different gender behavior
D
B. describing people’s experiences D. analyzing various researches and data
You might think people all over the United States have Wi-Fi----wireless Internet service---and mobile phones. But there is no such service in Green Bank, West Virginia, a tiny town four hours from the U.S. capital, Washington D.C. Fewer than 150 people live in Green Bank, which has two churches, an elementary school and a public library. It is also home to the largest radio telescope in the world.
There is a ban on Wi-Fi in Green Bank, along with anything else that can create electromagnetic(电磁的)waves. Officials say the waves could disturb the signals the telescope receives.
For many American, a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the 1950s. To get there, you must read road signs---because there is no GPS service in the town. People can connect with the Internet through telephones, but wireless service is not allowed.
The observatory(天文台)is one of the largest employers in the area. The federal National Science Foundation(NSF)spends about﹩8.2 million a year to operate the observatory, telescope and educational center.
Jonah Bauserman is a technician. If he supposes there is signal that is not allowed in the zone, he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it. But once a week, when the device is cleaned, some banned devices are allowed near it.
People in the town respect the work of the scientists. And they say they are happy to live without Wi-Fi and mobile phones. “You know, instead of sitting here on our phones and other devices we’re out fishing and hunting and going to each other’s houses.” Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face-to-face.
32. What will you see when you pay a visit to Green Bank? A. GPS service
B. Guide posts
C. Cell phone towers D. Radio-controlled toys 33. What is Jonah Bauserman’s duty in his work? A. Following signals from cell phones.
B. Cleaning the telescope once a week.
C Listening for signals from outer space. D. Protecting the telescope from being affected. 34. The telescope has brought to the local people. A. a healthier lifestyle B. many job chances C. great wealth
D. much difficulty in life
