1.阅读理解
A simple,yet powerful UK program has been fighting elderly loneliness by recruiting
young adults as volunteers to read to seniors with vision problems and mental diseases.
Lily has benefited from the program having her vision restored by 15-year-old Amy,a
schoolgirl who was paired with Lily through the Reading Friends project.Lily was a librarian
and enthusiastic reader who would read two to three books every week.After developing a
terrible disease,however,Lily found herself unable to read or watch television for any length
of time without her eyes hurting.
Not only have Lily's regular reading sessions with Amy helped to reconnect her with her
passion for literature,they have also built a strong intergenerational friendship between the
two ladies."I chose a book and she would come along and read it to me,Lily said,"But we
have only got through two books so far because we end up chatting too much.We have read
two historical novels and get on very well."
Research shows that reading together can help older people to build social networks and
connect with others.Evidence also shows that reading has a positive impact on the elderly's
well-being and can reduce the risk of developing mental diseases.
Rose,a teacher,is responsible for connecting schoolchildren like Amy with the program
and she says that it has had an amazing impact on the youngsters."We have wonderful
young people at our school and we wanted to get them into the community,Rose said."It
has been fantastic to see them blossom as well as improving their literacy and social skills.
They are meeting community members like Lily that they are making friendships with,and
library staff can help them,not only with education but outside as well."
