听力原文： That afternoon Molly almost danced along the street, as she walked home with her father from the station. They had seen Mrs. Gibson and Cynthia off to London. She wished her stepmother would take herself off to London much more often.
"Well now, dad." she said, "I'm going to have you all to myself for a whole week. You must be very obedient."
"I hope you aren't going to boss me, Molly. You're walking me out of breath already. We mustn't pass Mrs. Goodmays in our hurry."
They crossed the street to Mrs. Goodmays, one of the doctor's patients.
"We've just been seeing my wife and her daughter off to London. They've gone up for a week."
"Dear me, to London, and only for a week!" said Mrs. Goodmays, with surprise. "It seems hardly worth the packing. It'll be lonely for you, Molly, without your stepsister."
"Yes," said Molly, suddenly feeling as if she ought to have taken this view of the ease.
"I'll miss Cynthia."
"And you, Dr. Gibson. I hope you won't feel like a widower once again. You must come and have supper with me one evening. What about Tuesday？"
Dr. Gibson felt a sharp blow on his leg from the toe of Molly's shoes, but even so he accepted the invitation, much to the old lady's satisfaction.
A moment later, Molly said to him, "How could you go and waste one of our precious evenings？ We've got five now, I've been planning all sorts of things for us to do together."

Anna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column. She had been the director of a school and a camp before she retired, but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems——mostly problems with communication.
Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the years, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject: old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called "Sixty Plus," which focused on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood.
Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grand-children. She told him to listen to young people's music and to watch the most popular television shows.
"It's important to know something about your grandchildren's world," says Mrs. Douglas. "That means questioning and listening——and listening is not what oldsters do best," she continues, "Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters, teenagers, or young adults. Never tell them that they are wrong. Don't give them your opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well."
Anna Douglas understands the problems of old people ________.
A．because she likes their music
B．because she has grandchildren
C．because she watches their television programs
D．because she is old herself
