   Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen, according to a report from Oxford University.
   Women, who, thirty years ago, spent under two hours a day on cooking, now spend just one hour and
seven minutes,  but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.
    "I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later I was wearing an  apron (围裙). When  I  opened  the door, he laughed at me," .said Prof. Gershuny. "That would never happen
now. "
     The report also makes clear that the family meal is much healthier than before,  because of people's
learning how to cook.
   Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not
necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table.
     Anne Murphy said, "The evening meal is still clearly important to family life and more people are now
talking about family time. We think we'll return to traditionalism (传统主义). "
   However, Prof. Gershuny  said that the family meal was now hardly eaten by all of its members around
a table - with many "family meals" in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by different
members of the family.

1. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Women spend less time on cooking now.
B. Women spend more time on cooking now.
C. Women spend less time than men on cooking.
D. Men spend more time on cooking than women.

2. If a man did some cooking many years ago, others might_____.

A. enjoy him
B. laugh at him
C. stop him
D. learn from him

3. Why is the family meal much healthier now?

A. Because more and more men enjoy cooking.
B. Because people learn how to cook.
C. Because there are more family meetings.
D. Because women are better at cooking.

4 The underlined words "evening meal" refer to "_____".

A. breakfast
B. lunch

阅读下列短文回答问题：
The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you aren’t allowed to touch the exhibits. But the Science Museum is different… because it’s noisy ! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it’s a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.
When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favorite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.
Then I go upstairs to the Human and Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise and push a button. If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion still catches me.
You can do a lot of things in this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in the museum shops.
Above all, the Science Museum is free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as you like – it’s open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s my favorite museum in the whole world.

“Ordinary” was the worst word my mother could find for anything. Whenever she took me out for shopping, I found she wouldn’t take any notice of the shop assistants when they suggested that some dresses were popular. She would say, “We’re not interested in that. Haven’t you got anything a little unusual?” And then the assistants would bring out all the strange colours no one else would buy. And later she and I would argue because I wanted to be ordinary but my mother wanted to be unusual.

“I can’t stand that hairdo (发型),” she said to me when I was in a boy hairstyle, “It’s so terribly ordinary... Not ugly, not unsuitable. But ordinary ...”

“Couldn’t you please wear something else?” I asked one day when she was dressing for Parents’ Day in tight (紧贴的) trousers and a bright pink sweater.

“What’t wrong with it!”

“It’s just that I wish you’d wear something ordinary.” I said, “People won’t laugh at.”

She looked at me angrily, “Are you ashamed of your mother? If you are, Mary, I feel sorry for you.”

A．Something very popular.	B．Styles they have sold out of.
C．Cheap clothes.	D．The most unusual clothes.

2. When Mary had her hair cut in a boy hairstyle, her mother ____.

A．felt happy with it	B．surely disliked it
C．told her to change it	D．thought it was unusual

3. Why did Mary ask her mother to change her clothes on Parents’ Day?

A．Because her mother’s clothes were out of style.

B．Because she didn’t like a pink sweater at all.

C．Because she didn’t like her mother to dress that way.

D．Because she didn’t want others to look at her mother.

4. What does her mother mean by “ordinary”?

D．Popular.
