“That is very sad,” said the little orphan. “Do you think we could be friends?”
“Sure,” said the little crippled boy.

The little orphan ran back to his friend and said, “You are my only friend and I wish I could do something to make you walk and run like others. Unluckily, I can’t. But there is something that I can do for you.”

32. America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today,10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society (社会) in many ways —education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the growing of America has made us a very different society —one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.
A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position (职位、地位), marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, ‘I am much younger than my mother—or my father—was at my age.’ No one says ‘ Act your age’ any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
32. It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ______.

A．has made people feel younger

B．has changed people’s social position

C．has changed people’s understanding of age

D．has slowed down the country’s social development

33. The underlined word ‘one’ in the first paragraph refers to____.

A．a society

B．America

C．a place

D．population

34. ."Act your age " in the last paragraph means people should ______.

A．be active when they are old

B．do the right thing at the right age

C．show respect for their parents young or the old

D．take more physical exercise suitable to their age

35. If a 20-year-old man becomes general manager of a big company, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ______.

C．unbelievable	D．unreasonable

Look at the centre circles of Diagram (图)A and Diagram B. Which of the centre circles looks larger? In fact, they are exactly the same size.
Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see? A vase? Or two faces？Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.

“What’s happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?” You may wonder at what you see. Don’t worry. Here is how it goes:
When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret（解读）the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it “visual illusion(视觉错误)”.
Movie makers often make use of visual illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Parkand Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of visual illusions.
36. Why does the centre circle in Diagram A look smaller than that in Diagram B?

A．something is wrong with our eyes

B．the two circles are not the same size

C．our brains interpret the information in a wrong way

D．the two pictures change quickly from one to the other
