Unlike Hillary Clinton,and most previous US presidents,who entered the election after years of being politicians, Trump,70,the country’s 45th president,was a New York businessman.And he was not a presidential candidate who worked hard to keep a perfect public image (形象) of a man who was always caring,fair and intelligent.In stead, Trump has a reputation of being bad-tempered,self-important and hateful toward those who disagree with him.He also blames immigrants,both from Latin America and the Middle East,for many problems in the US.This has caused a dangerous division in the country-a country made up of many diverse races.Furthermore,he opposes globalization.
But to his supporters,the fact that Trump is not a typical politician is actually one of his advantages,His habit of never hiding his opinions is also considered by many to be a sign that he is not a pretender like many politicians are. “We have seen our country take a fall in the eyes of the world.We need to go in a different direction,”Binyomin Weisswasser,39,a man from Chicago,told the Chicago Tribune.“Trump’s not a politician,I like that he is not always politically correct and speaks his mind,It gives me the feeling that what you see is what you get,You may not like it, but you know what it is.”
But interestingly,many who voted for Trump actually followed the “lesser of two evils(恶魔)” principle-one that people use when faced with picking from two unpleasant options - simply because they didn’t think Clinton was a better choice.“He’s the candidate I disagree less with,” Jack Stucky,20,a student at Northwestern University, told the Chicago Tribune.“I don’t think I’d say Donald Trump is going to be the best president ever,but I did think he’d be better than Hillary Clinton.”
25.What can we learn from the text?
A.Trump is more tolerant to immigrants.
B.Trump minds more about keeping his public image perfect.
C.Trump is thought to be more complex and flexible in politics.
D.Trump is considered more straightforward and narrow-minded.
26.What does the last paragraph imply?
A.Trump will do better than Hillary.
B.Hillary is the least unpleasant candidate.
C.Both Trump and Hillary are immoral,but the former is better.
D.Trump is going to be the worst president in the history of the USA.
27.What’s the best title of this passage?
A.Trump’s shocking win. B.Trump’s new policy to the USA.
C.Different congratulations on Trump’s win. D.The advantages Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton

In Japan,more than a quarter of the population is over 65,a figure set to rise to 40 percent by 2050.
That means authorities need to think about ways to keep seniors healthy and active for longer but also about how to cope with labor shortages.
At Cross Heart,more than half of the 119 caregivers are over 60,and 15 of them are over 70.The foundation that runs this nursing home and others in Kanagawa Prefecture has raised the official retirement age to 70 but allows employees to keep working until 80 if they want to and can.
Although older workers have constraints-some can’t do the heavier tasks -they also offer advantages over younger workers who want time off for their children,said nursing home director Kaori Yokoo.
“Plus,because they’re close in age,they can relate to each other more,” she said.For the older workers,the money is a nice benefit,but the main motivation is the activity and sense of community.
Hiroko Akiyama.at the University of Tokyo’s Institute of Gerontology,said a Japanese 65-year-old is in much better physical and mental shape than a 65-year-old a few decades ago.“They are full of energy,and healthy and long-living,” she said.Her research has found that working helps keep seniors that way.
Meanwhile,researchers are working on robots that can lift the elderly out of beds and wheelchairs.
Still,Japan can’t rely only on seniors or,potentially,robots to staff its nursing homes,where the need will only grow as the population ages,analysts say.
Japan has agreements with Indonesia,Vietnam and the Philippines under which applicants who complete job training and pass a Japanese language test can work at a Japanese nursing home.But many Japanese also express deep concern about cultural differences.
28.From the text we can learn that in Japan .
A.money will be spent increasing the skills of the workforce
B.young people are willing to care for children but not seniors
C.aging caregivers will increasingly become a usual trend
D.high-level nursing homes are in great need
29.What does the underlined word “constraints” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.failures. B.benefits. C.experiences. D.drawbacks.
30.What is the main reason for the old to work for nursing homes?
A.To meet their physical and mental needs. B.To earn some money for their families.
C.To show love and respect for seniors. D.To reduce the young’s burden.
31.How many aspects does the writer mention to increase the workforce?
A.2 B.3. C.4. D.5.

In the James Bond movie Skyfall,there is a frightening moment when the bad guy of the film removes his prosthetic (假体) mouth to show his damaged face.We are scared,but amazed at the possibility.Could it be possible to replace parts of our body and even improve on the original?
