got excited or upset then they may become more confused and more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.At the same time it is also important that you don't make them feel like children. Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straightforward.
The kinds of information that may be required are(1)who you are(2)where you are(3)where you are going(4)what's happening and why and(5)what's to be done,e.g.\morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o'clock, so if you get up now, we c an have breakfast downstairs.\the elderly person makes confused statements e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: \office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?\
We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder beards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such a s information cards, old photos, scrapbooks, addresses or shopping lists could help in individual case.You will probably have to encourage the elderly person to use these aids at first

Europe‘s world status had drastically changed. Its individual nations, once great powers, were dwarfed - politically and militarily by the United States and the former Soviet Union, numerically by India and China, economically by the United States, Japan, and any new economic powers that might emerge. Europe‘s empires had been widely separated; and yet, like the rest of the world‘s rich Northern Hemisphere, it could not shrug off the poor and hungry millions in the South.All the more reason,therefore,for European countries to come together-not merely to hold their own political and economic superpowers but also to maximize their power to meet their wider responsibilities in the world.
20th-centry Europe had witnessed and shared in extraordinarily rapid technological change.Computers,industrial robots and genetic engineering are only its most obvious recent examples.The splitting of the atom had vastly multiplied humaintu's power to destroy itself.Jet aircraft,space travel and electronic telecommunications had revolutionized the sense of distance and scale.Radio and television,still more than the cinema,had become truly\media\satellites giving all broadcasts in the global range.
But economic progress had not kept pace with technology;in a world of potential plenty and well- being,there were still both poverty and pollution.Political progress had been slower still.International cooperation was increasing,but the basic political unit remained the nation-state.That dated fro m an age when the fastest means of travel had been a galloping horse.
This was why the founders of the EC,as Monnet said,were not concerned to make coalitions of stat es but to unite people.A united Europe along these lines,with common rules and democratic institutions,was in his eyes a pilot plant for a united world.
44. According to the second sentence, C . A.India has a longer history than Europe B.Europe is much more developed than India C.India has a bigger population than Europe
D.Europe has greater political and military power
45. The underlined\South\ B .
A. it should care more for its own poor people in southern Europe B. it should not put away its responsibilities for supporting the poor nations C.it should not be arrogant towards the developing countries
D.it alone could not support the poor people in most third world countries
46.One of the problems for the present Europe is D . A.its economy is developing too fast B.its technology is developing too fast
C.its economic system is too old to be of any use D.its politics does not keep pace with its technology
47.the author seems to C . A.support the idea of a united Europe B.favor making common rules for Europe
C. object to the coalitions of European states
D. love to see Europe not doing its duty for the word
