Part2 能力提升
四、阅读理解。
My brother once said, “I’d love for us all to live together, but it’s just not practical.” This reflects a Western way of thinking that values independence over living with family members. However, as housing costs rise and families face elder care challenges, this way of thinking is changing. Living with several generations — common in places like China — is becoming popular in the UK.
Recent reports showed that 1.8 million UK households now include two or more adult generations. Census data(人口普查数据) showed that 71 percent of Britons would consider it in the future. Money is a big reason: The cost-of-living crisis makes sharing rent and groceries practical. For aging parents, avoiding expensive care facilities lowers financial pressure. However, focusing only on money misses the deeper benefits.
Living together isn’t just about sharing bills; it’s about sharing lives. It creates support systems: Grandparents look after children, adults help with the chores and teens learn patience and care from elders. In a society facing loneliness, especially among seniors, being close allows daily contact that phone calls can’t replace. My brother’s wish for a “big house” wasn’t only old memories — it showed that separated families often miss these moments.
Of course, there are challenges. Privacy concerns, different habits and small spaces require give-and-take. But modern design, from granny flats to shared common areas, can help. The key is to set boundaries(立规矩) while respecting each other.
Some people say living with several generations feels like going backward. I see it as progress: using tradition to solve modern problems. China’s model works not because of duty, but because it understands that family members need each other. As we rethink aging, childcare and housing costs in the West, combining households offers more than just saving money — it can bring back the sense of community we’ve lost.
Living with several generations isn’t for everyone, but seeing it as “impractical” ignores its potential. It is a caring response to today’s pressures, one that turns “my burden” into “our shared life”. Let’s stop seeing it as a sacrifice(牺牲) and start valuing it as a choice worth considering.
1.What does the author suggest about the Western view of family life?( )
A.It prefers wealth to relationships.
B.It ignores tradition in modern times.
C.It values privacy more than support.
D.It puts a high value on independence.
2.What deeper role of multi-generational living does the author stress?( )
A.It strengthens family connections.
B.It encourages respect for tradition.
C.It prepares children for adulthood.
D.It reduces dependence on society.
3.Why does the author mention China’s model of living?( )
A.To criticize Western values.
B.To provide a cultural difference.
C.To show a successful example.
D.To defend traditional duties.
4.What does the author think of multi-generational living?( )
A.Modern yet imperfect. B.Practical yet limited.
C.Outdated but unavoidable. D.Challenging but helpful.
