　　一、阅读理解
　　To: The Manager of Mezzo Mash Restaurant
　　Dear Sir,
　　Last Tuesday evening I went with two friends to your restaurant for my 18th  birthday. I ’d booked the table for eight o’ clock and we arrived about ten minutes late, but that was not a problem.The waiter, who was very polite, showed us to our table and we studied the menu. I ordered a fish pie and my friends ordered some salads. However, after about fifteen minutes, the waiter told us that there was no more fish pie. He apologized and suggested ordering something else. I looked at the menu again and decided to have the same as my friends－a salad.
　　When the food came, it was very good. After we finished, we decided to order some desserts（餐后甜点）. The waiter said that, unluckily, it was too late. There wasn’t enough time for us to order desserts. He said he was very sorry but our table was booked by another group at nine thirty and we would have to leave.
　　We paid the bill and left feeling very unhappy. It ruined my birthday. Nobody told us when we arrived that there was a time limit (限制). It was very unsatisfactory and I doubt that We’ll go to your restaurant again.
　　Yours faithfully,
　　Martin Cary

　　They were a happy family: four daughters all in the same school in different grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued （粘）to her mother’s skirts. The three older girls toos to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.
　　One Friday, Janice’s mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice, “My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him.

　　In many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community. It is home to about 400 elderly people and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond（结成友好的关系）.
　　Established in 1991, the ILC’s purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC． The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded.
　　“For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized’ , which may be the most important benefit they receive ,” Hoover said. “ I’ve had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened to be in a wheelchair.”
　　As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old mar residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility.

　　A． build a typical senior living community
　　B． take good care of the children
　　C． benefit both the children and the seniors
　　D． rid the seniors of loneliness
　　9．From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _________.
　　A． keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILC
　　B． come to realize that aging is a normal part of life
　　C． take different attitudes to the elderly after graduation
　　D． think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC
　　10．The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.
　　A． the benefits the seniors receive
　　B． the situation of the seniors
　　C． children’s company
　　D． the interaction between the children and the seniors
