参考译文：今天，三代人都认为这次搬家是成功的，让他们之间的关系比住在不同城市时更亲密。
定位线索：题干“Why was Garza's move a success”→答案句“Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship”；文中“closer relationship”对应选项A“strengthened her family ties”。
解析：题干问Garza搬家成功的原因，答案句直接说明成功在于“giving them a closer relationship”，即加强了家庭关系，与选项A“strengthened her family ties”同义。选项B、C、D分别提到生活条件、朋友、新地方，原文均未提及，属于无中生有。

- D. The majority thought it was a trend.
答案：D
答案句：According to a study by grandparents.com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.
参考译文：根据grandparents.com的一项研究，83%的人表示罗宾逊夫人的决定将影响美国家庭中的祖父母。三分之二的人认为更多家庭会效仿奥巴马家庭的榜样。
定位线索：题干“reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson's decision”→答案句“83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson's decision will influence grandparents”和“Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example”；文中“follow the example”对应选项D“thought it was a trend”。
解析：题干问公众对罗宾逊夫人决定的反应，答案句指出83%的人认为该决定有影响，三分之二的人认为更多家庭会效仿，说明多数人视其为趋势，对应选项D。选项A误将83%当作支持率，选项B与原文相反，选项C将“influence”曲解为“bad influence”，均属偷换概念。

- A. They were unsure of themselves.
- B. They were eager to raise more children.
- C. They wanted to live away from their parents.
- D. They had little respect for their grandparents.
答案：C
答案句：“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents.
参考译文：“在20世纪60年代，我们都有点狂野，恨不得离家越远越好、越快越好，以证明我们能独立生活，”《祖父》杂志（一本面向祖父母的杂志）的出版人克里斯汀·克罗斯比说。
定位线索：题干“Crosby say about people in the 1960s”→答案句为克罗斯比原话“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough”；文中“couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough”对应选项C“wanted to live away from their parents”。
解析：题干问克罗斯比如何评价20世纪60年代的人，答案句直接引用其原话，说明当时人们急于离家以证明独立，即“想离开父母生活”，对应C项。A项“不确定自己”无中生有；B项“渴望多生孩子”与原文无关；D项“不尊重祖父母”原文未提及，均排除。
28. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
- A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
- B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
- C. Sacrifice for their struggling children.
- D. Get to know themselves better.
答案：A
答案句：Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.
参考译文：搬家并不适合所有人。几乎每位祖父母都想和孙辈在一起，愿意做出牺牲，但有时说“不”并经常探望是更明智的。孙辈住得远很难受，尤其是知道成年子女在挣扎时，但放弃你所熟悉的生活可能更难。
定位线索：题干“suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph”→答案句“sometimes it is wiser to say no”和“giving up the life you know may be harder”；文中“wiser to say no”对应选项A“make decisions in the best interests of their own”。
解析：题干问作者对祖父母的建议，最后一段指出搬家并非适合所有人，有时说“不”更明智，且放弃熟悉的生活更难，暗示应优先考虑自身利益，对应选项A。选项B、C、D分别涉及要求子女探望、为子女牺牲、了解自己，原文均未提及，属于无中生有。
