----
幻灯片 24阅读下面短文，然后分别以约 30 词概括这两篇说明文
的主要内容。
(1)
While income worry is a rather common problem of the
aged, loneliness is another problem they may face.Of all the
reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical
distance between parents and their children is the major
one.This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest
Syndrome (综合症)”．
----
幻灯片 25 In order to seek better chances outside their countries,
many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents
behind with no clear idea of when they will return home.Their
parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of
themselves, in the hope that some day their children will come
back to stay with them.The fact that most of these young
people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies
makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of
duty as they would have if they had not left their
countries.Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values
----
幻灯片 26they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do.This
geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up
children from providing response in time for their aged
parents living by themselves.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away
from their aged parents has been described as “distant
pa-rent phenomenon”， which is common both in developed
countries and in developing countries.Our society has not yet
been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”．
----
幻灯片 27 （现象）Nowadays many aged parents live alone in
loneliness（原因）because young people leave home to seek
their future far away in a more developed place ，（结 果）
which causing a new social problem around the world.
(2)
Years ago it was very difficult to travel from one place to
another.The journeys were often long, tiring and dangerous.But
now people travel frequently and easily.Science has improved
transportation and communication facilities a great deal.Traveling
has become safer, more enjoyable and above all, more economical.
----
幻灯片 28Traveling—whether within one's country or abroad—
brings many invaluable benefits.People travel for pleasure,
business or for education and knowledge.In the world of
yesterday most people were only able to read about strange
and fascinating places across the mountains and seas.Later,
with the coming of the cinema and television, man's curiosity
about faraway places with strange sounding names was
further stirred up.Today man's curiosity can be satisfied in
luxurious comfort.There are first-class ships and airplanes to
take him where his dreams lie.
----
幻灯片 29 We travel to increase our knowledge of the world in
which we live.Knowledge obtained from books alone is not
enough.New knowledge of different lands and people enriches
our mind and soul.Books generally do not give us a very true
picture of lands beyond our shores.Some of them are even
misleading.
(原因) With the development of science, (现象)
transportation makes people travel a lot with comfort, (结果)
which brings lots of benefits like satisfying man's curiosity
and increasing man's knowledge of the world.
