第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分）

第一节：阅读下面四篇短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

In the Western world we tend to group people by age, such as 3-year-olds, 13-year-olds and 80-year-olds. Why do we separate people by age? Maybe there are reasons, but sometimes I think it’s because of ignorance, prejudice and lack of choices. It is also because of fear. We sometimes avoid old people because we are afraid of aging and dying.

On occasion I realize that I rarely spend time with elderly people. However, I have always had a good time being with them. When I think of my own experience with my grandmother, I remember her as a person who always had the patience to listen to me. Elderly people have plenty of time and have experienced a lot. They possess a wisdom that we don’t have yet. A few years ago my boyfriend and I invited our neighbor on a Sunday to drink tea with us. She was an 89-year-old woman whose husband had recently died. It took us several weeks to make up our minds to invite her because we were always very busy.

I still remember very well what a relaxing and interesting afternoon we spent together. Even after moving to another town, we still keep in touch, even if it’s only for a short visit once a year. Most of the time we are very much concerned about ourselves, and we forget about the true values in life. The closer we keep relationships with old people, the more natural things may seem to us. I believe that we need to reconnect the old and the young for our own mental and social health. They can give us knowledge, love or, at least, good memories.

56. What’s the author’s opinion towards age separation in the West now?
