Each age has its pleasures and its 50 , and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets(遗憾).‎ Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.

She cycled to school, and then when entering the school gate, she would give her bicycle to anyone of us to park it for her. It was a privilege(特别恩典) when Miss Bailey gave her bicycle to you. One day Shankar stood at the gate; Shankar was a hunchback(驼背的人). ‎ We laughed and said, “Move out of the way, Shankar! Miss Bailey is going to enter!” Miss Bailey drove in and we all rushed to offer our hands to her. But Miss Bailey looked past us all. “Will you park it for me?”she asked. We looked back to see who it was and were surprised to see it was towards Shankar. “I don’t think so, Miss Bailey!” stammered(结结巴巴地说) Shankar. “Why? You lazy fellow!”said Miss Bailey playfully. “You don’t want to help your teacher, do you?” “Of course I want to, Miss Bailey!” whispered Shankar. “But I might drop your cycle!” “If you drop it, you pick it up!”said the teacher with a smile.‎ With that she gave her cycle to Shankar and didn’t look to see how he’d manage.

The school bell rang, and we rushed to class. Shankar was the last to enter, but we were surprised; it was a different boy who walked in.‎ Miss Bailey didn’t even look at him as he walked to her and handed her the keys.

The problem is: can this new type of writer keep on writing books as a professional writer?” ‎ D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 14分)‎ Nowadays there is less and less contact(联络) between the old and the young. There are mainly four reasons for this, including the breakdown of the big family, working parents with little time to take care of their child, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the results are the same — increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children, more old people who are lonely and feel useless, and more and more families with young children who need more love and care. It’s a big problem in many countries.‎ Now intergenerational(代际交流) programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing popular all over the world. There are successful examples of such programmes. There are schemes(方案) which involve older people visiting families who are having problems, maybe looking after the children for a while to give the tired mother a break. Or “adopt a grandparent” schemes in which children write letters or visit a ‎ lonely old person in their area. One successful scheme in London pairs(使结对) young volunteer with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as reading newspapers, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager who wants to study law. ‎ If older people can understand and accept the youth of today, and so do the youth, there will be less conflict(矛盾) in the world.‎ ‎90.
