1．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．

3．"You can use me as a last resort（选择），and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it." This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse（长曲棍球）club.
I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule，or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little persuading.So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on...At this point the unwilling parent speaks up， "Alright.Yes，I'll do it."
I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule，sends out emails，and collects money for end-of-season gifts.Somewhere along the way，the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still，most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close.That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more：Connecting to the community（社区）as you freely give your time，money，skills，or services provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense，I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit.However，if others benefit in the process，and I get some reward too，does it really matter where my motivation lies？
（1）What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1？
A．She knows little about the club.
B．She isn't good at sports.
C．She just doesn't want to volunteer.
D．She's unable to meet her schedule.
（2）What does the underlined phrase "tug at the heartstrings" in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Encourage teamwork.
B．Appeal to feelings.
C．Promote good deeds.
D．Provide advice.
（3）What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3？
A．She gets interested in lacrosse.
B．She is proud of her kids.
C．She'll work for another season.
D．She becomes a good helper.
（4）Why does the author like doing volunteer work？
A．It gives her a sense of duty.
B．It makes her very happy.
C．It enables her to work hard.
D．It brings her material rewards.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.4
