9、erly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Societya group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.“My grandmothers didnt do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that,“ said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of
10、 the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers (生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents way of being young are now tryi
11、ng a new way of growing old.If you take into consideration feminism (女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable (必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple (紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and
12、light purple clothing.“The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesnt go,“ said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots o
13、f attention.“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,“ Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.“ This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “Were a ladies play group. It c
14、ouldnt be simpler,“ added Coopers assistant Joe Heywood.（分数：10.00）(1).The underlined word “chapter“ in Paragraph 2 means _.（分数：2.00）A.a branch of an organizationB.a written agreement of a clubC.a part of a collection of poemsD.a period in a societys history(2).From the text, we know that the “baby b
15、oomers“ are a group of people who _.（分数：2.00）A.have gradually become more noticeableB.are worried about getting old too quicklyC.are enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spendD.tried living a different life from their parents when they were young(3).It could be inferred from the text that me
16、mbers of the Red Hat Society are _.（分数：2.00）A.interested in raising money for social workB.programmers who can plan well for their futureC.believers in equality between men and womenD.good at cooking big meals and taking care of others(4).Who set up the Red Hat Society?（分数：2.00）A.Emily Cornette.B.El

18、not decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat (诈骗). Either way, it could be the perfect crime (犯罪), because the criminals are birdshoming pigeons!The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car. if you want the car back, pay up
19、 then. The car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever st
20、ay at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind one that avoids (避免) not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has played a double trick, he gets money for
21、 things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad (启示) in the newspaper asking for help.The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demand
22、edunder 3,000 Taiwanese dollarsseems too little for a car worth many times more.Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,“ he said.（分数：10.00）

27、 Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenagers intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.“The safety issue is a big one
28、,“ says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasnt alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked, what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer “Thats not a problem here,“ Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
29、“No crime whatsoever?“ comments Mahoney today. “I just dont buy it.“ Nor should he. in 1999 the U.S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,“ says David Nichols, au
30、thor of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.“But getting accurate information isnt easy.
