“Beauty isn't about having a pretty face,” begins a motivational quote.“It's about having a pretty mind,a
pretty heart, and a pretty soul. Oh, and pretty nails!”
That may be Angela Peters' motto. Last July, Peters, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon(美甲沙龙)at
the Walmart shopping center in Burton to have her nails done. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy (脑瘫), was
turned away. The salon told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given
that her hands kept shaking. What was meant to be a day of beauty for Peters was now a disappointment.
A Walmart cashier about to go on her break happened to see this. Ebony Harris recognized Peters as a
Walmart regular.“She’s just like everyone else. She wants to look pretty. So why can't she?” Harris said.
Harris approached Peters.“Do you want me to do your nails?” she asked.
A smile spread across Peters’ face.“Yeah!”Harris led Peters into the supermarket, where they shopped
for nail polish. They settled on a color that would catch every eye. They then made their way into a
neighboring Subway, found a table for two, and started. Harris gently took Peters'hand into hers and carefully
began painting her nails. “She moved her hands a little bit, and she kept saying she was sorry,” Harris said.“I
told her,'Don't say that. You're fine.’ She makes me look at life and appreciate it much more than I have.”
Watching it all with surprise and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. Smith was so taken by
the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook.“She was so patient with her,”she wrote.“Thanks to the
Walmart worker for making this beautiful girl's day!”

C
With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation ( 孤 独 ), more families are
choosing to live together.
The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother-in-law: she lives on the
ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.
Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol-one of a growing number of
multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing
machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.
"We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house," says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in: “We spoke more
with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law."
And what does Nick think? "From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it? Yes,
I think I would."
It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been
rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together
had risen from 325,000 in 2001 to 419,000 in 2013.
Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents;
many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-
olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991. The total number of all multigenerational households in
Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
Stories like that are more common in parts of the world, where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted.
In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband's family when they
get married.
8. Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?
A. Nick. B. Rita. C. Kathryn. D. The daughters.
9. What is Nick's attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in-law?
A. Positive. B. Carefree. C. Tolerant. D. Unwilling.
10. What is the author's statement about multigenerational family based on?
A. Family traditions. B. Financial reports.
C. Published statistics. D. Public opinions.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Lifestyles in different countries. B. Conflicts between generations.
C. A housing problem in Britain. D. A rising trend of living in the UK.
A small group of paleontologists( 古生物学家) recently discovered 10 species of ancient mammals
previously unknown to science with the help of an enormous number of helpers at their dig site——ants.
The study of ancient mammals casts new light on the diversity of mammals that existed in North
America around 33 million to 35 million years ago, when the climate was changing drastically.It also pays
attention to the harvester ants(收割蚁), with which researchers have long had a love-hate relationship.“The
