　　Section B

　　(A)

　　Life for Ron and Joanne Wickham used to be full of soccer games, birthday parties, school plays, and parent-teacher conferences. For most of the past 20 years, they spent their evenings reminding their children to do homework and helping them complete it. Now the evenings are empty except for TV, and the weekends seem to last forever. The children whose activities used to fill their time have moved away and have left empty spaces. The Wickham parents have what is usually called Empty-Nests Syndrome.

　　Ron and Joanne both work for the Heritage Insurance Company in Ukiah, California. In their mid-50s, they have two children, Anne and Josh. Anne just graduated from California State University — Fullerton and is looking for a banking job in the Bay Area. Josh is still a junior at Claremont McKenna College near Los Angeles, but he can only rarely make the 460-mile trip home to visit his parents. Back in Ukiah, Ron and Joanne often feel the house is too big. "It doesn't really echo," says Ron, "but it feels like it should. Where is everybody?"

　　Empty-nesters everywhere know the feeling. They are entering a new stage of life, but they remain tied to their former stage. They are typically between the ages of 48 and 60 - still working, still involved in their communities, still rooted. This means they aren't free to travel for entertainment or to pull up stakes and move elsewhere. Generally, they live in the homes where they raised their children. Their daily routines may still echo their full-nest days, with wake-up times meant for driving kids to school or meals that include the children's favorite foods. Therapists point out that Empty-Nest Syndrome doesn't last forever. "Eventually, a so-called empty nest starts to feel normal and new routines develop," says UCLA psychology professor Jaswant Singh. "Most parents complete this journey just fine, but it usually feels pretty lonely."

　　66. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Ron and Joanne?

　　A. Their house is so big that it echoes when their children are not at home.

　　B. Their health condition doesn't allow them to eat steak and move elsewhere.

　　C. They can now do nothing to kill time but help Josh complete his homework.

　　D. Their son, a college student, occasionally travels a long distance to visit them.

　　67. The underlined word "This" in paragraph 3 refers to ______.

　　A. having entered middle age B. their former stage

　　C. their community D. being tied to a place

　　68. People with Empty-Nest Syndrome ______.

　　A. usually feel fine when they are on a journey

　　B. usually lead a normal life but feel quite lonely

　　C. need psychologists' help to develop new routines

　　D. can hardly recover from it without taking medicine

　　69. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

　　A. Ungratefulness of Grown-up Children

　　B. Adjustment to Brand New Life

　　C. Emptiness of Empty-Nesting

　　D. Sacrifice Made for Children

　　(B)

　　Spellmasters Spelling Competitions

　　Spellmasters Spelling Competitions are open to all school children aged 15 years old or younger. There are two divisions: Junior and Senior.

　　• Words used in all competitions will be chosen from The Macquarie Dictionary.

　　• The competition is conducted orally. Once the pronouncer has given the speller the word to spell, the speller should say the word aloud so that the judges can hear it clearly.

　　• Once the speller has repeated his word, he has one and a half minutes to complete the spelling. At the 60-second mark, the speller will be informed (e.g. ring of a bell) that he has 30 seconds left to complete the spelling. A second ring of the bell at 90 seconds will show that time is up. If the speller hasn't completed the spelling of his word at the 90-second mark, he is immediately disqualified.

　　• The speller may ask the pronouncer to say the word again, define it, use it in a sentence, provide the part of speech or provide the language of origin. The pronouncer shall accept all such requests until the judges agree that the word has been made clear to the speller. Root word questions will not be accepted.

　　• Once a speller starts to spell the word, each letter he says can't be changed. The speller may choose to pause and then continue with the spelling of the word.

　　• Upon confirmation by the judges, the speller will be advised of a correct or incorrect result. The pronouncer will spell the word correctly immediately following an incorrect judgement.

　　• Winners, 2nd and 3rd places will attend Final Championships.
