After their children are grown, they expect to enjoy the life they have worked hard to create. However, the reality is often very different. In middle age, many people discover that they have two ongoing responsibilities: one is look after their aging parents, and the other is help their young adult children deal with the pressure of life. Around the world, there are millions of people who are “sandwiched” in between the older and the younger generations.There are two important reasons for the rise of the sandwich generation. First, people are living longer than they used to. In the early nineteenth century, the average life expectancy for adults in the United States, for example, was about 40, whereas today people live to an average age of75. Therefore, children are taking care of their parents over a longer period of time. The second reason is that these days, young adults often live with their parents for a longer time than they did in the past. It's more common for today's young adults to return home during or after college if they need financial or emotional support. People who take care of elderly parents often face difficult issues. Caring for adult children presents challenges as well, and caregivers have to resolve many important questions. The financial and emotional pressures on the sandwich generation can be overwhelming. However, this time in life also has its rewards. It can provide a valuable opportunity to spend more time with one's parents or children. However, in order to survive this difficult period in their lives, members of the sandwich generation must remember that they also need to pay attention to their own needs and look after the quality of their own lives. They can't be totally selfless. Questions 56-58: Choose the best answer from A, B, C and D according to the passage.56. What does "the sandwich generation" refer to? A. Today's generation of young adults who don't cook and mainly eat sandwiches. B. Elderly people who are living longer nowadays and prefer sandwiches . C. Middle-aged people who have responsibilities for both their aging parents and their children. D. Young adults who feel sandwiched between their-financial-responsibilities and their desire to enjoy life.57. Which of the following is one reason for the rise of the sandwich generation? A. People are living longer than they used to. B. Children often live with their parents for a shorter time than in the past. C. Elderly parents usually need financial help nowadays. D. Today's young adults seldom go home after college.58. The underlined word "overwhelming" means A. very great or very strong. B. very silly or unreasonable C. excellent or wonderful D. clear and definite Questions 59-60: Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.59. People in the sandwich generation have a great opportunity to spend more time with their" parents and children.60. People in the sandwich generation should remember to take care of their own needs to avoid stress. B Dirty, dangerous and dull. These are three words you do not want to use to describe your job. While many jobs are a little dirty, dangerous or dull, some are so much so that it is better not to have humans performing them at all. Would you want to be the first person to go into a building on fire? (61) _ This is already happening all around the world. There are millions of robots at work today. The most common type of robotic device is a mechanical arm. This is often used in manufacturing. (62) _ But robots have moved well beyond such simple tasks. A robot named Demeter is an agricultural harvest can move around a field of crops, planting and harvesting by using GPS (全球定位系统 )，controllers and sensors ( 传感器 ). Some robots are programmed to do certain jobs, but others are remotely operated vehicles (ROVs)" (63) _ The US space agency NASA has used ROVs to explore the surface of the moon and Mars. ROVs are also used in underwater environments. What do regular people want from robots? Some people would like robots to perform tasks around the house. One home robot on the market now is Roomba, a turtle-shaped robot that slowly vacuums its way around the room. (64) _ A robot that washes the windows and does the dishes could make a small fortune! (65) _ Surely they will continue to explore the ocean , analyze the surface of distant planet, and build our cars and computers. But what else? Will more robots drive our cars for us? Will they do our laundry? Will they do our gardening? Perhaps. When someone invents that window-cleaning robot, they will be rewarded by a grateful population.Questions 61-65: Choose from the sentences A-G to complete the passage.

This frontier system was the most important structure guilt by the Romans in Britain, and it is a World Heritage Site (世界遗产地). In AD t22 the Emperor Hadrian ordered the wall to be built across northern "Britain, from coast to coast. Overlooking the mouth of the River Tyne and built around AD 160, Arbeia Fort was the military supply base for the soldiers who were stationed in the seventeen forts along Hadrian's Wall. The fort has been gradually excavated (挖掘) to reveal its secrets and to show what life was really like in Roman Britain. Some original parts have been revealed, and there are spectacular reconstructions that show how Arbeia would have looked.THE RECONSTRUCTIONS The reconstructions of the Commanding Officer's house and soldiers' rooms are very different. The accommodation for the soldiers is cramped (狭窄旳) and would have been dark and uncomfortable, while
