Many older Americans spend their final years in a nursing home or assisted living center.These places provide services that help older adults with activities they can no longer do on their own.However, most people say they would like to remain in their own homes. Now, there are nonprofit groups that help them do that.
Philip Smith is ninety-one years old and lives with his wife in an old house in Seattle, Washington.And he wants to keep it that way. He always says: "As far as I‘m concerned, I would not like to leave this place.Living in a group situation is something I couldn’t tolerate.I‘d kill myself before I had to do that."

Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In this age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.
We asked Professor Steve Graham at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. He told us that he has been hearing about the death of handwriting for the past fifteen years. He said: " If the results of a survey we had published this year are accurate, it is being taught by about ninety percent of teachers in grades one to three."
Ninety percent of teachers also say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it.Professor Graham said: "One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting.
And then when you look at how it‘s taught, you have some teachers who are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for ten, fifteen minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day——which really for handwriting is pretty much death."
Many adults remember learning that way——by copying letters over and over again.Today‘s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself.Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas.After all, that is why we write.
Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency——writing without having to think about it.Experts say fluency continues to develop up until high school.
But not everyone masters these skills.Teachers commonly report that about one-fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important anymore because of computers and voice recognition programs.
But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt said: "Word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. Even with high school teachers, we find that less than fifty percent of assignments are done via word processing or with word processing. And, in fact, if we added in taking notes and doing tests in class, most of the writing done in school is done by hand."
第16题 Some people think handwriting lessons are out of date, because____.
A.handwriting lessons take too much of their time
B.handwriting lessons are boring for kids
C.they write little at present time
D.they write through computers not by handwriting
第17题 According to the survey published by professor Steve Graham____.
A.most teachers in grades one to three still teach handwriting
B.3/4 teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting
C.most students in grades one to three have learned handwriting well
D.most teachers think handwriting should not be taught by itself
第18题 Students will learn handwriting well by____.
A.learning by themselves
B.practicing it once in a short time
C.practicing it more than an hour a day
D.copying letters over and over again
第19题 The purpose for us to write is to____.
A.communicate with others B.show our education levels
C.express our ideas D.record our activities
第20题 According to the author, handwriting lessons____.
A.are on the way out

Did your mum and dad go to university, or did they leave school and go straight to the Job Centre ? The educational experience of parents is still important when it comes to how today‘s students choose an area of study and what to do after graduation, according to The Future-track research in the UK.
The research was done by the Higher Education Careers Service Unit. It plans to follow university applicants for six years from 2006 through their early careers.The first year‘s findings come from a study of 130, 000 university applicants. They show significant differences in prospective students’ approach to higher education, depending on whether their parents got degrees (second-generation applicants ) or didn‘t ( first-generation applicants )。
First-generation applicants were more likely to say that their career and employment prospects were uppermost in their minds in deciding to go to university.About one-fifth of this group gave" to enable me to get a good job" as their main reason for choosing high education. And 37 percent said that a degree was "part of my career plan"。
A young person coming from a non-professional household where finances are stretched may find the idea of learning for its own sake to be a luxury. This explosion in vocational courses.
At Portsmouth University, first-year student Kim Burnett, 19, says that she specifically chose her degree in health research management and psychology to get a secure, well-paid job.Harriet Edge, 20, studying medicine at Manchester University, also wanted job security.Her parents lacked college degrees, though the fact that her uncle is a doctor appears to have influenced her choice.
"Medicine is one of those fields where it‘s pretty likely you’ll get a job at the end.That‘s a big plus, as the debt levels after five years of study are going to be frightening, " she says.Many experts believe that this situation affects those with no family tradition of higher education far more keenly.The fact that 26 percent of respondents said that they needed more advice implies that some students may end up feeling that their higher education investment was not worthwhile.
For those with graduate parents, this lack of guidance may, there searchers suggest, be less of a problem. "But, for those without the advantages, lack of access to career guidance before applying for higher education leaves them exposed to making poorer choices, " the survey concludes.
