寫在前面的話：
最近收到很多同學(xué)反饋說，總是堅(jiān)持不了讀英文。橙子姐姐想說，其實(shí)英語學(xué)習(xí)沒有那么復(fù)雜，不想看英文原著？沒關(guān)系！不想看經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人？沒關(guān)系！今天就讓我們從最簡(jiǎn)單的社會(huì)新聞開始，讓我們一起，慢慢愛上英語！
China care home（為有特殊需要人群設(shè)立的護(hù)理中心） rewards visits to elderly parents
Filial piety (孝心)is a major aspect of?Confucian tradition（儒家傳統(tǒng)）, but some elderly people see little of their children.
【提煉句型】：A is a major aspect of B：表示A是B中非常重要的一部分。
A nursing home(養(yǎng)老院)in eastern China is giving?vouchers(代金券)to people who visit their elderly parents on a?regular basis(定期).
The facility（等于上述的care home及nursing home）in the city of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, says?consistent family visits（家人的持續(xù)探望）will improve?residents' （養(yǎng)老院的住戶）quality of life, the?Yangtze Evening Post（揚(yáng)子晚報(bào)）reports.The biggest reward（最高獎(jiǎng)金）is worth 200 yuan ($29; ￡23) and is for those who?show up（出現(xiàn)、露面）30 times?over the course oftwo months（于兩個(gè)月內(nèi)）. Lesser amounts are?on?offer（可供出售的，此處表示10次與20次探視也可獲得獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)）for 10 or 20 visits during the same period.
The care home says the number of people visiting regularly has?soared（猛增）since it introduced the initiative. It might?end up as（最終成為）rather a?costly?endeavour（燒錢的義舉）, though - the first set of "filial piety awards" saw vouchers worth more than 30,000 yuan ($4,400; ￡3,400)?handed out（分發(fā)）.
【提煉句型】：the number of A has soared since B：自B之后，A的數(shù)量激增?？捎糜趫D表作文。
One resident called Mr Wu, who's in his 90s, says the "added incentive（附加的激勵(lì)措施）" has?made a big difference to（對(duì)xx產(chǎn)生重大影響）him. "My son has come to see me a lot more than before - it seems as though this 'award' has played a role," he tells the paper.
【提煉句型】：A has made a big difference to B：A對(duì)B產(chǎn)生重大影響。
The incentive follows a recent push by the authorities to encourage filial piety. In 2013, a law was?enacted（制訂法律）which said?grown-up children（成年子女）must visit their parents?or potentially face punishment（否則，可能面臨罰款風(fēng)險(xiǎn)）, although it didn't?spell out（詳加說明）how it would be?enforced（強(qiáng)制實(shí)行）.
Views are mixed on microblogging site Weibo（微博上，大家觀點(diǎn)不一）. Some people feel that the positive end result is?all that matters（該句式可用于作文，表示xx是最重要的事）. "No matter what the reason, at?the end of the day （最終）the nursing home has done a good thing,"?remarks（留言）one user, while another says it will?serve as（作為）a "wake-up call（提醒信號(hào)）to others". But there's also anger that it takes money to make people visit their parents more often, with one person writing: "Ridiculous, even the great motherland's filial piety requires a financial incentive."
【提煉句型】：Some people feel that ... But there's also anger that…:可用于議論文中兩種觀點(diǎn)的提出。
大家趕緊拿出小本本，把重點(diǎn)記下來吧?。?/b>

我們，明天再見！
