as part of their local communities instead of just in the students" dormitories.
Drs. Smith and Holt, who made the study, found that only limited number of students live together in large
groups in Brighton arid Hove. In fact, the city provides a valuable case study for other university towns in that,
unlike cities such as Nottingham, Cardiff, Leeds and Birmingham, there is no evidence of a "student ghetto" for
the students who are relatively poor.
The study finds three main factors influencing the Brighton and Hove situation:
The active role of the University"s Accommodation Office and its creative use have resulted in students being
relatively dispersed (分散) throughout the city, and there is limited evidence of private house company guiding
students to particular areas.
Most Brighton and Hove students do not feel the need to live in a specific student area to get a student
identity. They feel "at home" together with other social groups and do not restrict their shopping or social lives
to student-oriented services and facilities. According to the study, the city"s cultural diversity is a major influence
here and it provides a valuable example for students mixing easily in the local community.
Students consider a wide range of possible living locations throughout the city. Their choices are, however,
to some extent limited by negative views of some areas within Brighton and Hove. The study suggests that more
effective student-community relations could help to change these negative views, with the result that new living
areas for the city"s increasing student population could and should be opened up. Such a development would
reduce the possibility of any "student ghetto" forming in the city in the future.
The study also included a survey of what 350 Brighton and Hove students thought about their
accommodation. This has proved high levels of satisfaction, both in terms of quality and location.
B. fond of living together with each other
C. unlikely to go to certain places
D. satisfied with the university dorms
B. A good place where students prefer to live.
C. A terrible place for students to visit.
D. A poor area where students mostly live.
B. The city encourages students to live in certain areas.
C. The students don"t like living in university dorms.
D. The students are pleased with the university life.
B. Subjective.
C. Objective.
D. Critical.

term changes in women"s roles and lots of job losses for men during this decline.
Women hold 50.83% of the nation"s 132 million jobs this month and they"re gaining the vast majority of jobs
in the few parts of the economy that are growing, according to the most recent numbers from Mr. Hartman, a
workforce researcher. That"s a record high for a measure that"s been growing steadily for decades and speeding
during the decline. At the current speed, women will become a majority of workers next two months.
According to the report, women have struggled long and hard to get to this point, and the change reflects the
growing importance of women as salary earners, but it doesn"t show full equality, because women work fewer
hours than men and hold more part-time jobs and earn 77% of what men make on average. Men still control
higher-paying positions.
Women have been a growing share of the once heavily male labor force for nearly a century, recording
shocking increases in events such as World War II. This time, the improvement came from a sharp decline that
has been cruel on male-controlled professions such as construction and manufacturing.
The only growing parts of the economy like health care, education and government have traditionally hired
mostly women. This kind of control has increased in the past because the money added by government has been
usually directed to education, health care and state and local government offices.
The increased number in local government"s 14.6 million-person workforce is especially remarkable. Cities,
schools, water authorities and other government offices have cut 86,000 men from payrolls (工资名单) during
the decline, while adding 167,000 women, according to the research report.
Equality in workforce numbers reflects a long-term cultural change, says Maureen Honey, author of a book
about the government"s efforts to persuade women to work outside the home during World War II. "The image
that men have to be the bread winner has changed," Maureen Honey says.
B. Men take up the most important jobs.
C. A large number of men got unemployed.
D. Women have got full equality as men.
B. It"s due to men"s control of higher-paying jobs.
C. It reflects women"s-financial importance in family.
D. It shows women haven"t got their equal share yet.
B. decreased suddenly and quickly
C. took over the male-controlled jobs
D. made a record-high employment rate
B. women will soon become a majority of workers
C. women should not be limited at their home
D. the decline has perfectly changed the workforce
who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands (差事) or drive on weekends benefit most
from car sharing. Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are nonprofit (非营利的)
and informal car sharing services. Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when
they need one. The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation,
and then go to the pick up spot.
Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road. Members
don"t drive just because they are in a car. They plan trips, and if they don"t need a car, they don"t use one. Still,
a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or
if they want to go to the beach for the day. Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the
headaches of ownership. They usually don"t have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance (保养), and the
monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment. So if you really want to go green but aren"t ready
to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go.
If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus!
B. has become the best way to cut living costs
C. is becoming more and more popular in cities
D. is becoming popular both in urban and rural (乡村的) areas
B. Zipcar, different from other services, is aimed at green driving with no profit
C. Zipcar is a company supplying car sharing services for a monthly payment
D. Zipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free
B. why car sharing benefits the environment
C. why car sharing is cheaper than owning a car
D. why a car is available to members
B. Car sharing can save you the headaches of ownership.
C. Bus sharing is even greener than car sharing.
D. Zipcar is the largest company offering car sharing services.
letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections. I begged my parents to attend every rock
concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities (名人) ; my friends and I discussed for
hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers. I drove my
mother crazy! But after a few years, my obsession (迷恋) stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence
to socialize with "real" boys.
In the 35 years since I was a teenager, celebrity worship (崇拜) has increased among teens due to the
explosion of television celebrity gossip shows, and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet. It"s no
wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment
stories and the lives of celebrities.
Celebrity worship syndrome (综合征) is now considered a personality disorder. While it is normal for
teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars, parents should try to monitor everything their child finds
interesting. Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little
interest in school or withdrawing from the family.
When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment, this is considered
normal celebrity worship. However, when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to
have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star, this may
be the time for concern. Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with
celebrities often suffer from low self confidence and depression. Teens who are overly obsessed with stars
often have damaged relationships with their parents.
B. celebrity worship can cause serious problems
C. parents needn"t worry about celebrity worship
D. celebrity worship only exists among teens
B. the author is surprised at celebrity worship
C. the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today
D. celebrities expose their lives too much
B. put up celebrity posters in their bedrooms
C. ask to go to their favorite star"s concert
D. desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star
B. celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlooked
C. children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are older
D. children with celebrity worship usually have high opinion of themselves
B. More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.
C. What to do with children"s celebrity worship syndrome.
D. Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome.
you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.
But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that
they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧
握) at one another"s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new
directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record.
Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come
out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or
her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from
the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today"s parents have come to award
high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants
to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical
music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.
You may have some thoughts that you don"t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it.
Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. That
is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
B. teenagers to try to pursue their real selves
C. parents to try to control and guide their children
D. people to try to understand and respect each other
B. turning to their friends for help
C. walking a new way on their own
D. following the popularity trend
B. the popularity wave in the society
C. the parental care and love
D. the dazzling music world
B. Instructive.
C. Influential.
D. Authoritative.
and follows his/her own path?
B. He/She loses good friends.
C. He/She faces all kinds of criticism.
D. He/She falls behind the time.
