study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. "It"s a well-known pattern," said lead
researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan"s Institute for Social Research. "Men usually work more
outside the home, while women take on more of the housework."
He points out that differences among households (家庭) exist. But in general, marriage means more
housework for women and less for men. "And the situation gets worse for women when they have children."
Stafford said.
Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly
hours of sweeping-and-dusting work, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework,
more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in 2005.
Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women
in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week.
Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom more often than younger
men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.
Having children increases housework even further. With more than three, for example, wives took on more
of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands" 10 hours.
B. does more housework
C. is the main breadwinner
D. is the master of the house

B. Marriage has effects on job choices.
C. Housework sharing changes over time.
D. Having children means doubled housework.

the world. That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into
account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter
how hard the internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.
The problem is twofold (双重的). First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and
have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the
quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest (投入) in them. We invest a lot in a
small number of people and then distribute what"s left among as many others as we can. The problem is that
if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline (减弱) until eventually it dies
into "someone I once knew".
This is not, of course, to say that the internet doesn"t serve a socially valuable function. Of course it does.
But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the
world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move
to the other side of the world.
In one sense, that"s a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends
even though you can no longer see then, then certainly you aren"t using your time to make new friends where
you now live. And I suspect that probably isn"t the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about
being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The internet will slow down the rate with which
relationships end, but it won"t stop that happening eventually.
B. The difficulty in communication on the internet.
C. The socially valuable function of the internet.
D. The role of the human mind in the internet communication.
B. connection
C. interview
D. agreement
B. the internet determines the quality of social relationships
C. the internet greatly increases the size of social circles
D. the internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face talk
B. He is hopeful of it.
C. He approves of it.
D. He doubts it.
will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the
information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short
television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of
every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment.
Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks (平装本),
which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening
at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every
home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is
useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history
books, science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can
take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information
C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun
D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself
suggest?
B. Reading is still necessary today.
C. Reading is more fun than television.
D. Watching television doesn"t help reading.
B. Kinds of dictionaries.
C. Lists of history books.
D. Collections of stories and poems.
B. A good dictionary should be kept in every home.
C. Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.
D. More people like TV programs about famous men.
situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear
a word invented in Japan. which means Double Income Kids (小孩).
In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high.
A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3000,000 (though prices have
fallen). For a flat with one bedrooms, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay
about $900 a month. What"s more, if they want to have a child, the child"s education is very expensive.
For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5.000 a year. In such a situation, it"s difficult to
afford children.
The number of married women who want to continue working because they enjoy their jobs. However,
if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow
women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their
jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for
mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children
or keeping their jobs.
In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.
B. The changing social situation of women.
C. The high prices of houses and education.

D. the companies that permit women to leave
using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The
wireless industry"s trade association, CTIA, estimates (估计) more than 48 billions text messages are sent
each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alter and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires
improvement to the nation"s emergency alter system. The act tasked the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alter the public about emergencies.
"The ability to deliver accurate and timely warning and alters through cell phone and other mobile services
is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need
to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies,"
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alter system by carriers-telecommunication companies-is voluntary, but it has received
solid support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alters.
There would be three types of messages, according to the rules.
The first would be a national alter from the president, likely involving a terrorists attack or natural disaster.
The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or
storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架) emergencies,
or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.
B. To popularize the use of cell phone.
C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.
D. To promote the wireless industry.
B. the Warning Alert and Response Network
C. FCC
D. federal regulators
B. mobile phone users
C. the carriers themselves
D. the law of the United States
B. They may enjoy the alert service for free.
C. They must send the alerts to others.
D. They may choose the types of messages.
B. a university shooting happens
C. a natural disaster happens
D. a terrorist attack occurs
B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry
C. Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters
D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon
seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive (难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it
impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or
playing computer games.
(2) Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to stores
more and more every day, but it"s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into
shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without
being able to stop doing. They are booked on shopping and usually buy things that they don"t need. Even
though they don"t have enough money, they buy everything they want.
(3) The question is, why do they have this addiction? There isn"t a specific answer. Some people go
shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity
as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say they feel more important and better after they buy
something. They also tend to have this addition when they feel guilty.
(4) Shopaholism seems to be harmless addiction, but it can _____. Some of them can be psychological.
If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit.
However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. It can also cause financial
problems. They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don"t have. They get
deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt and get sent to prison.
