Grandparents Answer a Call

As a third- generation

native of

Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza

never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her

to

move

to

San

Antonio

to

help

with

their

children,

she

politely

refused.

Only

after

a

year

of

friendly

discussion

did

Ms.

Garza

finally

say

yes.

That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move

as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have

had in separate cities.

No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are

moving

closer

to

adult

children

and

grandchildren.

Yet

there

is

evidence

suggesting

that

the

trend

is

growing.

Even

President

Obama

’

s

mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move

into

the

White

House

to

help

care

for

her

granddaughters.

According

to

a

study

by

grandparents

com,

83

percent

of

the

people

said

Mrs.

Robinson

’

s

decision

will

influence

grandparents

in

the

American

family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of

Obama

’

s family.

“

I

n

the

1960s

we

were

all

a

little

wild

and

couldn’

t

get

away

from

home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,

”

says

Christine

Crosby,

publisher

of

Grand

,

a

magazine

for

grandparents.

“

We now realize how

important family is and how important it is to be

near them, especially when you

’

re raising children.

”

Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be

with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but

sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having

your

grandchildren

far

away

is

hard,

especially

knowing

your

adult

child

is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.

25. Why was Garza

’

s move a success

A

．

It strengthened her family ties.

B

．

It improved her living conditions.

C

．

It enabled her to make more friends.

D

．

It helped her know more new places.

26. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson

’

s decision

A

．

17% expressed their support for it.

B

．

Few people responded sympathetically.

C

．

83% believed it had a bad influence.

D

．

The majority thought it was a trend.

27. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s

A

．

They were unsure of themselves.

B

．

They were eager to raise more children.

C

．

They wanted to live away from their parents.

D

．

They had little respect for their grandparents.

28.

What

does

the

author

suggest

the

grandparents

do

in

the

last

paragraph

A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own.

B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.

C. Sacrifice for their struggling children.

D. Get to know themselves better.

to

get

re-routed(

D

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may

be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.

A

silence

in

a

conversation

may

also

show

stubbornness,

uneasiness,

or

worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely

uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap

（间

隙）

with conversation.

Persons

in other cultural groups

value silence

and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.

Many Native Americans

value silence and feel

it is a basic part of

communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai

persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is

speaking

and

suddenly

stops,

what

maybe

implied(

暗示

)

is

that

the

person

wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.

In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.

Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when

dealing

with

conflicts

among

people

or

in

relationships

of

people

with

different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish

persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the

topic

under

discussion.

However,

Mexicans

may

use

silence

when

instructions are given

by a person

in

authority

rather

than be rude

to

that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons

in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly

to an elder or a person in authority.

Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible

meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their

patients

may

be

experiencing.

Nurses

should

recognize

their

own

personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s

silence

is

not

interrupted

too

early

or

allowed

to

go

on

unnecessarily.

A

nurse

who

understands

the

healing(

治愈

)

value

of

silence

can

use

this

understanding

to

assist

in

the

care

of

patients

from

their

own

and

from

other cultures.

32. What does the author say about silence in conversations

A. It implies anger.

B. It promotes friendship.

C. It is culture-specific.

D. It is content-based.

33.

Which

of

the

following

people

might

regard

silence

as

a

call

for

careful

thought

A. The Chinese.

B. The French.

C. The Mexicans.

D. The Russians.

34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence

A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.
