A

When Julie Jones and Caroline Atkin were schoolgirls, they promised to be best friends for ever. Years later, Caroline died from a brain tumor at the age of 45, leaving five children. In her last weeks, she asked Julie to raise the children as her own. Julie, a single mother of three with a small income, didn’t hesitate.

“I held her in my arms and said ‘You’ll be OK’, but I knew I was losing her.” She says.

“The hospital rang me and I rushed there, but Caroline had just gone,” she says. “I went to her house. The children arrived home from school in a taxi and I gathered them in my arms and said: ‘Mommy has gone to Heaven.’”

“Michael, who was 11, left the room. Kieran, ten, sat in great surprise; James, nine, broke down; while Emma, seven, and Chantelle, five uneasy. I brought them home.”

Julie, mother of Adam, 20, Peter, 19, and 14-year-old Christian, moved the table from her dining room to turn it into an extra bedroom for the girls.

She says “I put a tent up in the garden, and the children took turns to camp outside. We turned into a game. The children were terribly hurt by losing both their parents. But now, despite our lack of space and money, we have become one happy family.” The table in the kitchen is so small that Julie had to cook Christmas dinner in two sittings. Her eldest son has left for university and his bedroom is used by the younger boys.

Julie had to work 50 hours a week and runs the home on her salary.

“The children aren’t quiet anymore. The house is filled with screams and shouts and laughter.” she says. “They say ‘Julie, you make us so happy,’ but the truth is that they’re the ones who make me happy. I’m not extraordinary. I’m just a mum.”

A. She had lived a rich life before the adoption.

Here are some of the best places you can visit in 2015. Find your favorite and put on

your travel list.

Washington, DC

Attraction: History in the making

From the Washington Monument and John F. Kennedy Center all the way to Capitol Hill,

the vigor (活力) of the US’ capital city is just as strong as in real life as it is in House of Cards.

The year 2015 marks the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s famous assassination (暗杀),

and a series of special events will be held to remember the occasion. Lincoln’s famous top hat,

the gun that fired the deadly shot, and other things from that fateful day will be on display.

Milan, Italy

Attraction: A cradle of fine dining and culture

If you are a gastronome (美食家), don’t miss Milan in 2015. Expo 2015 will be held

between May and October, and the focus is on food.

The 1.1-square-kilometer grounds will be laid out like a classical Roman city, with

beautiful streets, a canal and a huge lake. You can explore the food district, wander a square

full of street musicians and dance performers, or enjoy nighttime wine-tasting.

Salisbury, UK

Attraction: The Magna Carta’s 800th anniversary

For too long Salisbury has been considered a short stop on the way to Stonehenge. But

2015 is set to be the year visitors stay in this city as it marks the 800th anniversary of the Magna

Carta, which limited royal power and established the rights of common people. The highlight

for the celebrations will be Salisbury Cathedral, whose Chapter House holds the Magna Carta.

A brand new exhibition will open in the Chapter House, alongside many talks and a flower

festival.

Happy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That’s a different story.

Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.

Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.

Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers (消费者).

28. The main idea of the third paragraph is________.

A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of money

B. many old people in America are leading a
