根據(jù)句意可知，此處表達(dá)的是：許多居住在國外的中國人仍保持著傳統(tǒng)的習(xí)俗；故選C做此類題時(shí)，首先應(yīng)正確理解句意，其次要熟練掌握選項(xiàng)中各動詞的意義及用法；這就要求在平時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)中要勤積累，多記憶，多查字典．14.Misunderstandingsarisingfromlackofsocialcommunication,

78.attend/erest(s)/benefit(s)80.discriminate.71.practice

根據(jù)第一段最后一句中thediscountshavebecomearoutinepartofmanybusinesses折扣已成為許多企業(yè)的常規(guī)組成部分，可知這是個(gè)慣例，故填practice。72.need/poverty

根據(jù)第二段中buttodayelderlyAmericansasagrouphavealowerpovertyratethantherestofthepopulation可知此處指貧窮的人，故填need/poverty。73.Present/Current

根據(jù)句意可知此處指“目前的狀況”，故填Present/Current。76.fewer根據(jù)第四段最后一句Buoyed(支持)bylawsandcourtdecisions,moreandmoreolderAmericansaredecliningtheretirementdinnerinfavorofstayingonthejob—therebylesseningemploymentandpromotionopportunitiesforyoungerworkers.可知這里指的是：更喜歡工作的人的數(shù)量增長，這意味著年輕人工作的機(jī)會更少。故填fewer。77.economically根據(jù)第五段Farfromakindofcharitytheyoncewere,seniorcitizendiscountshavebecomeaformidableeconomicprivilegetoagroupwithmillionsofmemberswhodon’tneedthem.可知數(shù)以百萬的老年人不需要經(jīng)濟(jì)上的優(yōu)先。副詞修飾動詞，故此處填economically。78.attend/tend根據(jù)最后一段中Seniorcitizendiscountsonlyenhancethemyththatolderpeoplecan’ttakecareofthemselvesandneedspecialtreatment;可知這誤導(dǎo)他們認(rèn)為他們不能照顧他們自己。根據(jù)句意可知此處填attend/erest(s)/benefit(s)

根據(jù)最后一段最后一句theythreatenthecreationofanewmyth,thattheelderlyareungratefulandtakingforthemselvesattheexpenseofchildrenandotheragegroups.老人不感恩，以犧牲孩子為代價(jià)。可知他們是不感恩的，他們傷害了其他年齡組的利益。故填interest(s)/benefit(s)。80.discriminate

根據(jù)最后一段最后一句SeniorcitizendiscountsaretheessenceoftheverythingolderAmericansarefightingagainst—discriminationbyage.老年人折扣的本質(zhì)正是美國老人所反對的，即年齡歧視?？芍丝仗頳iscriminate?！酒路治觥课恼碌?段介紹了美國社會老年人享有商品折扣的現(xiàn)象。第2段提出了很多老年人擁有償付能力，因此這種做法并不合理。第3段和第4段論述了這一做法犧牲了青年人的利益，加劇了他們的沖突。第5段和第6段提到了這一做法的普遍性，作者呼吁改變這一種年齡歧視的做法。三、閱讀理解19.DuringmymanycontactswithpeopleinChina,IhavebeenaskedbytwodifferentpeoplewhatIwouldrecommendtothemsothattheycouldbehappy.OneofthesepeoplewasmystudentandfriendwhobeganherquestionbysayingIalwaysappearedhappytoher.ShethenaskedhowIcouldbethiswayandifIcouldteachherhowtobehappyallthetime.TheotherinquirywasbasicallythesameandcamefromthesecretaryofacompanyforwhichIwasdoingsomework.ThefirstonetoaskwasmystudentandinthinkingaboutananswerIevenexploredinclasstheideaofoptimismandpessimism,ofpeoplewhofeeltheglassisalwayshalffullandthosewhothinkitishalfempty.Itwaseasytoshowthatdifferentpeoplereactdifferentlytothesamesituationsandconditionsbutthatdidn’tbringmemuchclosertounderstandingwhy.AbouttwomonthslaterIwasridingtotheairportinataxiwiththecompanysecretarywhoaskedmethesamequestionanditmademethink.Whydidboththeseladiesfeeltheyneededhelptobecomehappy?Indeed,whydideitherofthemthinktheywerenothappy?Whydidtheychoosetoaskthisquestionofme?Whyaresomepeoplegenerallyhappywhileothersarenot?Certainlyifsomeoneishealthy,itmightbeexpectedthattheyarehappy,andthisisprobablytrue.However,somepeoplehavemoneyandhealthbuthaveamiserabledispositionthatmakesitdifficultforthemtohavefriendsandmeaningfulrelationships.Similarly,onewouldexpectthosewhohavelittletocomplainabouttheirfateandmanydo,butothersareabletoenjoywhattheyhaveandenjoylife.Itseemsthedifferencemustliewithinthepeople.Whatwemaybelookingatisacceptanceofapersonalsetofcircumstancesandthecontentmentwhichflowsfromthat.Itshouldnotmean,however,thatthosepeoplecannotwishforsomethingbetter.Ifthedifferencebetweenpeoplewhoarehappyandthosewhoarenotlieswit
