The grandson, a youth of about twenty, has become a problem to Bill’ s family because he is so noisy. Biir s family members were used to peace and quiet,but the youth likes to listen to his radio late at night. Sometimes his friends came for a visit,and they also made a lot of noise. Everyone in Bill’ s family has been bothered by the new comer and getting angry.

Bill’ s mother once politely asked the old man if he was able to sleep well at night, but it seemed that he didn’ t understand what she meant and so never spoke to his grandson about it. If he did,the grandson apparently didn’ t listen, since things have not changed any.

Family Matters

This month Singapore passed a bill that would give legal teeth to the moral obligation to support one' s parents. Called the Maintenance of Parents Bill, it received the backing of the Singapore Government.

That does not mean it hash' t generated discussion. Several members of the Parliament Opposed the measure as un - Asian. Others who acknowledged the problem of the elderly poor believed it a disproportionate response. Still others believe it will subvert relations within the family; cynics dubbed it the "Sue Your Son" law.

Those who say that the bill does not promote filial responsibility, of course, are right. It has nothing to do with filial responsibility. It kicks in where filial responsibility fails. The law cannot legislate filial responsibility any more than it can legislate love. All the law can do is to provide a safety net where this morality proves insufficient. Singapore needs this bill not to replace morality, but to provide incentives to shore it up.

Like many other developed nations, Singapore faces the problems of an increasing proportion of people over 60 years of age. Demography is inexorable. In 1980, 7.2% of the population was in this bracket. By the turn of the century, that figure will grow to 11%. By 2030, the proportion is projected to be 26%. The problem is not old age per se. It is that the ratio of economically active people to economically inactive people will decline.

But no amount of government exhortation or paternalism will completely eliminate the problem of old people who have insufficient means to make ends meet. Some people will fall through the holes in any safety net.

Traditionally, a person' s insurance against poverty in his old age was his family. This is not a revolutionary concept. Nor is it uniquely Asian. Care and support for one' s parents is a universal value shared by all civilized societies.

The problem in Singapore is that the moral obligation to look after one' s parents is unenforceable. A father can be compelled by law to maintain his children. A husband can be forced to support his wife. But, until now, a son or daughter had no legal obligation to support his or her parents.

In 1989, an Advisory Council was set up to took into the problems of the aged. Its report stated with a tinge of complacency that 95% of those who did not have their own income were receiving cash contributions from relations. But what of the 5 % who arch' t getting relatives' support？ They have several options: (a) get a job and work until they die; (b) apply for public assistance (you have to be destitute to apply); or (c) starve quietly. None of these options is socially acceptable. And what if this 5% figure grows, as it is likely to do, as society ages？

The Maintenance of Parents Bill was put forth to encourage the traditional virtues that have so far kept Asian nations from some of the breakdowns encountered in other affluent societies. This legislation will allow a person to apply to the court for maintenance from any or all of his children. The court would have the discretion to refuse to make an order if it is unjust.

Those who deride the proposal for opening up the courts to family lawsuits mixes the point. Only in extreme cases would any parent take his child to court, If' it does indeed become law, the bill' s effect would be far more subtle.

First, it will reaffirm the notion that it is each individual' s -- not society' s -- responsibility to look 'after his parents. Singapore is still conservative enough that most people will not object to this idea. It rein- forces the traditional values and it doesn' t hurt a society now and then to remind itself of its core values.

Second, and more important, it will make those who are inclined to shirk their responsibilities think twice. Until now, if a person asked family elders, clergymen or the Ministry of Commun

A．the country will face mounting problems of the old in future.

B．the social welfare system would be under great pressure.

C．young people should be given more moral education.

第7题
One day in 1965, when I was a library worker at school, a teacher came to me. She had
a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do. "Could you help me in the library？"she asked. I said, "Send him along."

Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. "Do you have a job for me？" he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, "Is it a kind of a detective(侦探) job？" I answered yes, and then began his work.

He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and said, "Time for rest!" he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.

The next morning, he arrived early, "I want to finish these books," he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes.

After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy's home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to another school. Her son's first concern, she said,was leaving the library. "Who will find the lost books？" he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say goodbye.Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different.

Do you know who he is？ This boy became a great man of the Information Age: Bill Gates.

(1)、Why did the teacher go to the library to find a job for Bill Gates？

A：Because the teacher found the librarian quite busy.

B：Because Bill Gates wanted to find a job.

C：Because Bill Gates finished his study quickly and had more free time than the others.

D：Because the library needed a new worker.

(2)、What do you know from the passage？

A：Library work was very difficult for Bill Gates.

B：Bill Gates did his job without any difficulty.

C：The librarian was too busy to have a rest.

D：His mother hoped that Bill Gates would stay for his job.

(3)、The sentence "He picked up the idea immediately" means that ______.

A：he learned that system quickly

B：he collected that system quickly

C：he lifted up that system quickly

D：he improved that system quickly

(4)、What was Bill Gates expected to do in the library？

A：Finding the lost cards.

B：Learning the system.

C：Helping the worker with everything in the library.

D：Finding books with wrong cards.

(5)、How did Bill Gates feel when his family would move to another school area？

A：Sad.

B：Pleasant.
