dropped our eldest at kindergarten and returned home to let our two younger children play while I worked on my medical reportIt was wonderful，but it hit me that my career in hospital wasnt making a

for a child who needed it desperatelyOn Monday morning，I picked up the phone and dialed the number I had googled for the nearest Department of Children ServicesThe man on the other end was receptive

checks，and seemingly endless stepsFive long months after we were approved，the phone rangIn the middle of the night，I woke my husband and rushed to East Tennessee Childrens Hospital-Our placement was

legalCAccording 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 loving as sons generallyThe 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 membersHer 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 parentsIn a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in 第 7 页 共 16 页San Francisco，she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less careUsing data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study，a study which has been recording those people over 50s for the last decade，she analyzed that women provide an average of 123 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours“ Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister，while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother ”“ This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sistersIn 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 decadeBut many are doing so at the risk of their healthThe census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a fulltime job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers28According to the passage，whats the key factor to decide if people will actively care for the old？AEducationBGenderCCareerDIncome29The US study finds that Ahaving a sister makes men less likely to look after their parentsBsons are twice as likely as daughters

last paragraph？APeople should give up their jobs to care for the elderlyBMany care providers work longer hours than othersCMany care providers have potential health problemsDPeople shouldnt pass on caring responsibilities to others31The author develops the text by Aexplaining social networks of careersBdescribing peoples experiences第 8 页 共 16 页Canalyzing various researches and dataDcomparing

aluminum cansReplacing plastic water bottles that pollute the seas with recyclable aluminum cans should be an easy way to help the environment，right？Maybe notAluminum cans might result in less ocean waste，and the metal containers also are lighter than glass or plastic bottles，but they also come with their own cost to the environmentThe production of an aluminum can is estimated to release two times as much carbon dioxide into the air as a plastic bottle“ Thats the dilemma youre going to have to choose between， ” said Ruben Griffioen，an official at beermaker HeinekenHe said his company was trying to reduce the use of plastic bottlesBruce Karas of Coca-Cola North America agreedHe said， “ Theres a mixThere are some things that are not that desirable，but if you have five good things and one that isnt，well all have to make decisions ” He added， “ Itll never be that clean ”Bottled water is a 19 billion industryAlthough its use of cans is increasing，experts say cans are unlikely to completely replace plastic bottlesAluminum is costlier than plastic so canned drinks mean higher prices for buyersAnother major consideration is user conveniencecans stay open while bottles can be reclosedMore importantly，there is one barrier to ending the use of plastic water bottles：There may not be enough cans to go aroundBeer and wine makers are now also increasingly using aluminum32Whats the advantage of aluminum cans？AThey are pollution-freeBThey are lighterCThey are cost-effectiveDThey are low-carbon33What is Karass attitude to replacing plastic bottles with aluminum cans？第 9 页 共 16
