Anna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column. She had been the director of a school and a camp before she retired, but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems——mostly problems with communication.
Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the years, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject: old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called "Sixty Plus," which focused on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood.
Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grand-children. She told him to listen to young people’s music and to watch the most popular television shows.
"It’s important to know something about your grandchildren’s world," says Mrs. Douglas. "That means questioning and listening——and listening is not what oldsters do best," she continues, "Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters, teenagers, or young adults. Never tell them that they are wrong. Don’t give them your opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well."
What advice did Mrs. Douglas NOT give to the reader whose grandchildren didn’t want to see him?
选项
A、Listen to popular music.
B、Tell more interesting stories.
C、Try to understand the grandchildren.
D、Watch more popular TV shows.
答案
B
解析
根据原文第三段最后两句,道格拉斯夫人给这位读者建议了几种增进对孙子的理解的方法,她推荐这位老人去听年轻人的音乐和看流行的电视节目。而这些建议未包括B.Tell more interest-ing stories。(讲更有趣的故事。)因此B为正确选项。
