A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organise it. This doesn"t mean that a woman has to do all the housework:; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partner’s participation(参与). A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility(责任) for housework.
Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your man appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little additional housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored.
Here’s the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a household task just for the good of the house.

The art of giving gifts is to give something that others cannot buy for themselves.
------A.A. Milne
I have spent most of my career as a traveling salesman. There’s 36 lonelier than having meals myself in a coffee shop. One year, my five-year-old daughter Jeanine gave me a 37 . It was a soft toy penguin with a hand –painted 38 saying “I love My Dad!” Tears came into my eyes and immediately, I gave it a 39 place on my desk.
Soon I had to leave on another business 40 . This time when I was 41 , I put the penguin in my suitcase. After that day, Jeanine always helped me pack with the penguin. Many years 42 by and that little penguin has traveled with me hundreds of thousands of miles all across America and over to Europe. We have also made many friends 43 the way.
44 one afternoon after leaving my hotel, I discovered that the penguin was 45 . Frantically, I phoned the hotel. The clerk 46 , saying it hadn’t been reported. But half an hour later, he called back to say that my penguin had been found. It was late, 47 I drove several hours to get my little 48 , arriving near midnight.
When I rushed to the hotel, I found that it was waiting at the front desk. In the lobby(大厅), some 49 business travelers looked at us, I think, with some 50 and envy(羡慕). Someone came out to shake my hand. One man told me that he had even volunteered to 51 it to me the very next day.
Jeannie is in college now and I don’t travel 52 much anymore. The penguin spends most of its time 53 on my dresser--- a reminder that 54 is the best traveling companion. All those years on the road, it was the one thing I never left home 55 .

Carbonated(碳酸的)
You can see bubbles in these! Of all soft drinks sold, about 75 percent are carbonated. But be careful, carbonated soft drinks have lots of sugar and caffeine. Caffeine is not very good for you in the summer, because it takes water out of your body. And the sugar can make you overweight if you drink too much.
Fruit juice

Energy drinks
These kinds of drinks have caffeine and things that make people get excited in them. They are sometimes called “party drinks”. Doctors say that if you drink too much of this kind, you may have a heart attack.
Bottled water
We have lots of different kinds of bottled water, such as mineral water, purified water and distilled(蒸馏的) water. They are clean and easy to drink. But it is best not to drink very cold water. I

Sports drinks
Most of these have funny names like “Scream” and “G-Vital”. They have lots of vitamins and minerals in them. After you play sports, you may want to drink one of these.
But if you just spend your summer holiday sitting around watching TV, you won’t need them at all!

The Michael Carlos Museum gave it back after tests showed it was probably that of the man who ruled 3,000 years ago. The US museum acquired it three years ago from a Canadian museum, which in turn is thought to have bought it from Egyptian garve robbers in 1860. The mummy was welcomed back home with songs and military band music during a ceremony at the national museum in Cairo.
Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities(文物最高委员会), traveled from the US with the body and said it would be moved next year to the Luxor Museum in southern Egypt. “We are not 100% sure that mummy is that of Ramses I,” said Mr. Hawass. “But we are 100% sure that it is of a king.”
Atlanta’s Michael Carlos Museum acquired the mummy in 1999, but offered to return it after hi-tech scanning equipment indicated it was likely to be that of Ramses I. The museum website said it had been acquired from the Niagara Falls Museum. It is thought a Canadian collector bought the mummy for the Niagara Falls Museum around 1860 from an Egyptian family which had came across a tomb filled with royal mummies at a site near Luxor.
Mr. Hawass praised the handover as “a great, civilized gesture”. And he appealed to other world museums to return Egypt’s antiquities, particularly the Rosetta Stone in the Britain Museum and the Bust of Nefertiti in the Berlin Museum.

One lady told me of her son who grew up in a very multi-cultural community working at a resort. He would naturally and easily switch from Dutch, to French, to Italian, German and English depending on who he was talking to. Of course that’s an extreme case, but it’s completely possible and easy.
It’ s not true that they will get mixed up by learning multiple languages. They may mix them up purposely simply because certain words or expressions are easier, but they won’t develop any permanent language disabilities. Quite the contrary, bilingual children have been shown to be as much as a year more advanced in learning ability development for 2 and 3 years olds.
Some kids who simply aren’t gifted at learning languages, just as some aren’t gifted at sports or music, will find it difficult to continue schooling in a foreign language. In that case, it may be better not to continue with the foreign language school. Still, it will have been an excellent opportunity for Grade One. Perhaps for Grade Two you could try a bilingual school.
In any case, learning even a small amount of a foreign language, maintaining the ability to hear and pronounce it by listening to music and movies will keep a foundation for later learning. Knowing a second language can be a great benefit for gaining employment.
小题1:What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.It’s difficult for kids to learn a second language. |
B.Kids are able to learn multiple languages. |
C.Kids should be exposed to the native language. |

A.He could speak five kinds of languages. |
B.He was learning some different languages. |
C.He could talk with many people at the same time. |
D.He was working in a multi-community. |
A.Mixing up different languages. |
B.Distinguish different dialects. |
C.Developing learning ability. |
D.Developing language disabilities. |
A.Ask them to turn to sports or music. |
B.Encourage them to remain in Grade One. |
C.Let them remain in the foreign language school. |
D.Send them to a bilingual school later. |
Eight scientists from across the Uni

The researchers spent one and a half years examining weather satellite information. The information was recorded from 1982 to 1999. That period was one of the warmest on record. Researchers found that rainfall generally increased during that time.
The satellites measured the number of leaves on plants and the amount of sunlight taken in. The scientists used that information to estimate what is called net primary production. This is total amount of carbon stored in land plants.
The scientists report a 6% increase in stored carbon since 1982. They say gains were high in equatorial areas, especially around the Amazon River in South America. The area alone had a 1% increase in the net primary production.
Ramakrishna Nemani of the University of Montana in Missoula headed the study. He says reduced cloud cover led to growth in Amazon area. He also says the lack of clouds allowed more sunlight to get through. More sunlight meant increases in photosynthesis(光合作用). That is the process by which plants use energy from sunlight to produce the chemicals they need to grow.
Northern Canada, the north-central United States and northern Europe were second in increased plant growth. Ramakrishna Nemani says a rise in temperature helped plants there.
All together, the report says 25% of areas of plant life on Earth experienced increases. But the scientists also note increase in the number of people on Earth and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Ranga Myneni of Boston University in Massachusetts, another study scientist says humans use about half the net primary production on Earth. And he notes that the world population grew by 36% during the period of time studied.
小题1:Which of the following is in charge of the study?
A.The spa![]() |
B.The Department of Energy of the US. |
C.Ramakrishna Nemani in Missoula. |
D.Ranga Myneni in Massachusetts. |
A.Growth in population. |
B.Regional features. |
C.Seasonal variation. |
D.Weather conditions |
A.Because plants could take in more sunlight. |
B.Because plants could get more rainfall. |
C.Because plants could enjoy cooler air. |
D.Because plants suffer less from natural disasters. |
A.It was the warmest on record. |
B.Rainfall decreased little by little. |
C.World population grew by 25%. |
D.Stored carbon increased by 6%. |
