I don’t understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home?‎ ‎ How could you be “just a housewife” when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child’s studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc. a housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial adviser, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don’t think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer—the love and affection of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.‎ ‎ It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same if you had been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy ‎ all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?‎ ‎ Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job. It’s time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes “I am a housewife”. Kick that “just” out.‎ 21. People feel ______ when they say “I’m just a housewife.”‎ ‎ A. regretful B. satisfied C. proud D. anxious ‎22. Listing the housewife’s duties, the author implies a housewife___________.‎ ‎ A. usually leads a terrible life B. plays a more important role ‎ C. makes a great contribution to the family D. does not always get her reward ‎23. If a housewife worked outside, she would _________.‎ ‎ A. have the same life like before B. lose the content that she is enjoying ‎ C. set a comfortable home for her family D. absorb her family’s stress ‎24. What is the author’s attitude toward housewives?‎ ‎ A. Supportive B. Doubtful C. Opposed D. Disappointed B ‎ At home, ordering food from a menu is a normal, everyday routine. I don't even give it a second thought. In China, it's a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!‎ ‎ Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise "English language menus", but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with off-the-wall names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.‎ ‎ Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.‎ ‎ I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence – “crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will show.‎ ‎25. How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing's restaurants?‎ ‎ A. Confusing but amusing. B. Easy to understand.‎ ‎ C. Boring and annoying. D. Accurate and helpful.‎ ‎26. The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probably means .‎ ‎ A. taste B. look C. step D. risk ‎27. The passage deals with .‎ ‎ A. the author’s favorite Chinese dishes ‎ B. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurant ‎ C. a comparison between Western food and Chinese food ‎ D. the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English ‎28. The passage is developed mainly in the form of .‎ ‎ A. examples and statements B. comparison and conclusion ‎ C. causes and effects D. time and description C Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.‎ My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.‎ I don't only avoid those “if only”moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had missed an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.‎ I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being．‎ ‎29. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule? 　 　‎ ‎ A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.‎ ‎ B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.‎ ‎ C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.‎ ‎ D. Move an object out of the way before it causes trouble to someone.‎ ‎30. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to　 　.‎ ‎ A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor ‎ B. meet her father who was already an old man ‎ C. join in the holiday celebration of the company ‎ D. finish her work before the deadline approached ‎31. What is the best title for the passage? 　 　‎ ‎ A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words ‎ C. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of Mind.‎ D Imagine that you’re looking at your company-issued smartphone and you notice an e-mail from Linkedln: “These companies are looking for candidates like you!” You aren’t necessarily ‎ searching for a job, but you’re always open to opportunities, so out of curiosity, you click on the link. A few minutes later your boss appears at your desk. “We’ve noticed that you’re spending more time on Linkedln lately, so I wanted to talk with you about your career and whether you’re happy here,” she says. Uh-oh.‎ It’s an awkward scene. Attrition (损耗) has always been expensive for companies, but in many industries the cost of losing good workers is rising, owing to tight labor markets. Thus companies are making greater efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them. Methods range from electronic monitor to sophisticated analyses of employees’ social media lives.‎ Some of this work may be a reason to let employees to quit. In general, people leave their jobs because they don’t like their boss, don’t see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered a higher pay; these reasons have held steady for years.‎ New research conducted by CEB, a Washington-based technology company, looks not just at why workers quit but also at when. “We’ve learned that what really affects people is their sense of how they’re doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life, says Brian Kropp, who heads CEB’s HR practice. “We’ve learned to focus on moments that allow people to make these comparisons.”‎ Technology also provides clues about which star employees might be eyeing the exit. Companies can tell whether employees using work computers or phones are spending time on (or even just opening e-mails from) career websites, and research shows that more firms are paying attention to these things. Large companies have also begun searching for badge swipes (浏览痕迹)---- employees’ use of an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage---to identify patterns that suggest a worker may be interviewing for a job.‎ ‎32. From the first paragraph, we can infer Linkedln is___________.‎ A. an e-mail B. a job from the Internet C. a professional social network D. a world-famous company ‎33. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?‎ A. The cost of losing good workers is rising.‎ B. Companies are stricter with workers than before.‎ C. Measures have been taken to find the potential workers who want to quit.‎ D. Finding new jobs has been a trend for most workers.‎ ‎34. According to the research by CEB, which of the following might be the most probable reason for workers to quit their jobs?‎ A. They don’t like their bosses. B. Workers are always doing comparisons.‎ C. Not seeing opportunities for promotion. D. To find a higher-paid job.‎ ‎35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To make a review on a phenomenon. B. To tell us the leader’s concerns.‎ C. To show a new trend in the job market. D. To stress the role of new technologies.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ ‎ How to help children improve the ability to study ‎ Children often have trouble studying because they haven’t developed good study habits.
