tend to equate economic assistance with love.

When asked about how they would show their love for their old parents, many simply said they would send them to old people's homes.

Others said they would give money, and only two percent of the respondents said they would be ready to take care of the psychological health of their parents. According to the study, middle-aged people who have children of their own take their filial duties more seriously.

Also, married women know better than men the need for this kind of loving care. Researcher Wong questioned the wisdom of adopting the new concept of government welfare.

He said, \personal tax rate is only 15 percent.

How can you expect the government to take care of all the elderly?\

Task 2: Thick cloud of pollution covering southern Asia Script Question:

Hi, I have been divorced for eight years. My ex sees our child Maria on a regular basis.

She is eight and in the second grade. My ex has a wife that is 20. My ex and his wife go to the school almost every day to see our daughter. Our daughter has failed the second grade and now has to repeat it.

I have seen her grades plummet since those two started showing up at school.

They are both very controlling and verbally abusive to me and to our daughter. I'm concerned about this. He forced my daughter to call his wife mommy. I am really tired of their unkind visits. I don't know what to do. If you have any advice to give me, I would be grateful. Thanks. Answer (by a woman psychiatrist):

Hi, Diana. It's obvious to me that your daughter is having problems with the visits. I would suggest having a frank conversation with your daughter to see what she feels the problems are.

If she says it is all these problems as you have stated above, I would try to talk to your ex about her problems.

I'll try to stick to what your daughter feels to be the problems and hope he will help your daughter do better at school.

If he is not responsive, then I'll take your daughter for counseling to help her. You can't make others do things that are right for your child, not even the father, so spend your energy on things you can control like counseling for your daughter. Also, you should spend quality time with her and allow her to vent her feelings on you, and let her know you are always there for her no matter what happens. Try to keep her self-esteem high.

When a child fails a grade, they will feel bad. Good Luck! Keys:1.B 2.C 3.A 4.D 5.C Task3: A man who remarried Script

If you want me to tell you why I remarried, here's my story.

Remarriage was the last word I'd consider for two years after my divorce. I had heard about the high rate of remarriage failures.

More importantly, I wondered how remarriage would affect my 10-year-old son, John.

My heart ached when I saw my son draw a picture of himself, my ex-wife and me holding hands—with sadness on our faces.

Since my parents have married and divorced eight times altogether, I hoped my son would not have to go through the same pain I experienced.

As a result, my primary focus after the divorce was my relationship with John, not finding a wife.

As time went by, my son gradually grew up, and he became conscious of my

loneliness and anxiety. One day he asked me to consider dating.

The first time he said this, I ignored him. The second time he brought it up, I reconsidered my reservations about dating. I began to date Maria.

As our relationship developed over the following year, I was concerned about how my son would actually respond to her.

At first, John's affection for Maria was lukewarm. For instance, he would hug her, but the act seemed mechanical. But after several months, he warmed up to her. Seeing the time was ripe, I asked Maria to marry me. She accepted. So the two of us blended smoothly into the three of us.

Thinking back, I believe my remarriage was the right choice.

Some single parents are still hesitating about remarriage. Now that you've heard my story, I hope you won't hesitate and let golden opportunities slip through your fingers. Keys:

(1) the last word (2) remarriage (3) picture (4) eight times (5) wife (6) dating

(7) loneliness and anxiety (8) second (9) response to her (10) lukewarm (11) warmed up (12) accepted (13) ripe (14) blended into (15) right

Task 1:Mother-daughter relationship Script

I love all the children, they've all got fantastic personalities.

Lovely children, but the one that's the most like me is Sarah Lucy. I can, I can... she does things like I do, she says things I say.

Um, and I think that's why sometimes we have our clashes because we are so similar.

She's very, very much like me.

Me and Sarah Lucy have very... both have very strong personalities, so we clash quite a bit.

When Sarah Lucy can't have her own way, she struts off, slams the door, stamps up the stairs.

Favorite expression for me is, very quietly she'll say, \And then, um, I'll say to her, \When you feel better, you come and talk to me about it.\

Um, so she'll stay in her room for a few minutes and then she'll come back down and she's all, \

And then if I've upset Sarah Lucy, I'll apologize if I think I'm in the wrong. And then we'll have a discussion or a debate about it.

There's certain aspects about Sarah Lucy's behavior, um, it's learned behavior because children live what they learn, and so there're some traits that she's got and I think, \And there're other ones and I think, \For example, her strutting off and slamming the door. But, um, confession: She gets it off me.

She gets it off mum. Um, and she'll say to me, \and she's telling the truth. And so I have to say to her, \to make that better?\

And then she'll sit me down and she'll say, \have to listen more, you have to learn to listen.\

So, I try. I do. When we have this conversation, I do listen more, and I do try. Don't always get it right, but I do try.

When I'm feeling angry, um, if the other children are around, when one of them sees me upset, they don't like to see me upset, so one of them will come to me and say, \Is it time for some medicine?\have a cuddle, a hug, and that is fantastic medicine because it does make you feel better.
