  Wives, children and parents left behind in the countryside by migrant workers need special assistance, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference said yesterday.

  Adult males moving to work in cities, is causing a challenge to the traditional function of bringing up children and supporting the elderly, said Shen Shuji, who is also an official with the All-China Women’s Federation.

  Shen recommended certain measures, including a special policy to guarantee educational opportunities for such children, accelerating(加速)the establishment of pension(養(yǎng)老金)and medical care systems in rural areas, and encouraging enterprises and non-governmental organizations to help such families.

  The rights and welfare of migrant workers themselves have called much attention in recent years.The government has made policies to protect their rights.

  The number of children aged between 6 and 16 in this situation is more than 20 million nationwide, accounting for more than half of the country’s total.Some of the children have both their parents in cities and have to be taken care of by grandparents or other family relatives.

  Without enough care from parents, many of them become problem children, Shen said.Wives left at home by their husband have to face hard work, loneliness and a lack of a sense of security.In many cases long-term separation ends up with divorce.

  There is still no pension system in China’s countryside.Traditionally, the elderly in rural areas are supported by their children with low incomes.

  But the exodus of their children has left many old people in a difficult situation.They have to continue to work in farms while taking care of their grandchildren, Shen said.

  The country should gradually scrap(消除)the decades-old bi-polar system separating rural and urban areas, which prevent farmers from enjoying the equal rights.

Penguins

  Penguins (企鵝) live together, but each pair has a little piece of ground of their own. When a penguin wants to walk through its neighbour's ground, it must ask permission (允許). If it does not, it will have to fight. Penguins come and go all day. They fight fish and look after their children.

  All penguins are good parents-the male (雄性的) penguins are perhaps the best parents in the world. They walk in from the sea in the middle of the dark Antarctic water. They choose their wives in the dark. They can only hear them-not see them. Then the female (雌性的) penguins lay their eggs and go away for about two months. The males look after the eggs. If the eggs get cold, there will be no chicks (幼鳥). There is no food. The snow falls and the wind blows-sometimes at 150 kilometres an hour. The penguins do not move. When the females return from the sea, they will not remember their husbands. It does not matter. Only one thing matters-the eggs. Male penguins never fight-unless a penguin leaves a chick for a minute. Then they fight because they all want it. They are strange and wonderful birds.

1.From the passage we know that penguins usually lead ________ life.

[  ]

A.a(chǎn)n active
B.a(chǎn) quiet
C.a(chǎn) hard
D.a(chǎn) simple

[  ]

A.when the female penguins return from the sea

B.just by hearing in the darkness

C.each time they see the lovely females

D.a(chǎn)fter they have had their own grounds

3.It is ________ that take care of the eggs.

A.the male penguins

B.the female penguins

C.both the husbands and the wives

D.the penguins that lost in the fight

4.Only when ________ can a penguin walk through its neighbour's ground.

[  ]

A.it wins the fight

B.it has become a father

C.it gets married

D.it gets permission

5.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

  Now some women still like making their husbands and sons successful. But some women want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work, they want to be as successful as men.
