Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage:
The United States has been criticized for its treatment of its elderly citizens. Although in many other countries the elderly usually live with their children's family, many older Americans live alone, without the close companionship of their children. This situation is sometimes blamed on the "selfishness" of the younger generation but a closer look shows that many of the elderly prefer to maintain their independent lives.
Research on the situation of the elderly in America has shown that while grandparents are delighted to be visited periodically by their children and grandchildren, they prefer to continue living in the surroundings that they are familiar with. This suggests that children should permit their parents to live alone if they wish to, and should encourage them to maintain close ties to the rest of the family.
Another surprising result of the research on the elderly in the United States has been the very positive influence which pets have been found to have on the elderly people that they live with. It has been shown that elderly people who care for small pets, such as cats or dogs. live longer, are healthier, and have better attitudes towards their lives than similar elderly people without these companions.
46. Many elderly Americans live ______.
A. without satisfaction B. by themselves
C. a lonely life D. a simple life
47. What do some people see as the cause of this situation?
A. The society of the USA treats its elderly people as troubles.
B. The young people usually trouble the elderly of their own.
C. The government concerns hardly about the elderly people.
D. The young people are too selfish.
48. Many of the elderly Americans want to ______.
A. keep living in their well-known places and conditions
B. remain with their grandchildren in their houses
C. remove to their sons' or daughters’ homes .
D. live with their friends in their hometown
49. The author advises the young people to ______
A. keep close ties the elderly of their own

Read the passage and choose the correct answer
If you are invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, remember these general rules for polite behaviour. First of all, arrive approximately on time but not early. Americans expect promptness. It will be all right to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes late. Dinner might be over-cooked and ruined by then. When you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it is polite to bring a small gift. Candies or flowers are always appropriate. If you have an attractive thing made in your native country, your host or hostess will certainly enjoy receiving that gift. What will you do if you are served some food that you cannot eat or you do not like? Do not make a fuss over it. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one notices it. Be sure to compliment the cook on the food that you are enjoying. Do not leave immediately after dinner, but do not overstay your welcome, either. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.
