Li Hua is an English learner who want to improve his reading skills, and he rarely practices. Yesterday he came and asked us for advices. "Any good athlete," I said, "who will tell you he practices hardly to get in shape and achieve high honors. Seldom we hear of any athlete becoming a champion without any effort. We consider training to be a part of the game. Once he is in shape, it is easier of an athlete to succeed. Reading skills develop the same way. Any person who reads a lot are bound to improve his reading comprehension." Feeling ashamed, Li Hua made upon his mind to practice more in future.

American women who work as computer programmers, chefs and dentists earn 28 percent less than men doing the same jobs. Those are the jobs with the biggest wage differences between men and women, according to a new study.

Overall, the study found that women earn 5. 4 percent less than men for doing the same job, in the same location and for the same employer. The wage differences between women and men were similar in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and France.

5.4 percent is a big difference in pay between men and women because it cannot be explained by women and men taking the same kinds of jobs. It can only be explained by bias(倔见)against women, or other causes, such as women not being good at asking for pay.

Research suggests that women do not negotiate(交涉)as well as men when it comes to pay.

And women are generally more uncomfortable asking fellow employees how much they make, sothey can see if they are being paid fairly.

According to the study, women earned at least 15 percent less than men in these job categories:psychologists,pharmacists,physicians,opticians,pilots and game artists.

But in the fields of social work, selling merchandise, research assistants and physician advisors, women earn more than men. In social work, women earned 7. 8 percent more than men, the report said. That was the job category with the biggest advantage for women. It was still far less than the 28 percent pay advantage for men in some fields.

Comparing salaries for full-time workers, women earn only 79 percent as much as men. Over a lifetime, that much of a difference in pay can amount to a large amount of money.

Women only earned 57 percent as much as men in 1975. It is now up t0 79 percent. That is

progress, the report says, but not enough.

On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Slide cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.

"Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?" the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. "I’m from Mississippi too."

Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.

"They began telling me all the news of Mississippi," Welty said. "I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking."

Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚).

"My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’" Welty added. "And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’"

Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.

"I don’t make them up," she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. "I don’t have to."

Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.

1.What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?

A. Two strangers joined her.

B. Her childhood friends came in.

C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.

D. Some people held a party there.

2.The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s _______.

A. readers B. parties C. friends D. stories

3.What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?

A. They live in big cities. B. They are mostly women.

C. They come from real life. D. They are pleasure seekers.

The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(灵魂). 1 Separateness, according to psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety.

1 It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love or "being love" means love for another person; unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs. D-love or "deficiency-love" is a selfish possessive love which is based upon someone else’s ability to satisfy your needs.

D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met. But B-love is unconditional. 3 Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow yourself to be known to the other person.

The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love. 4 Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow’s concept of D-love.

Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain (保持) their independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves. The immature lover would say, "I love you because I need you," but the mature one: "____5____"

A. Every one of us needs love.

B. There are two types of love.

C. I need you because I love you.

D. Love is a way of overcoming the feeling.

E. It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.

F. These two types are quite different from each other.

G. They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union, and mature love.

Art is considered by many people to be no more than a decorative means of giving pleasure.This is not always the case,however,at times,art may be seen to have a purely functional side as well.Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest;these have a medicinal as well as an artistic purpose.

According to Navaho traditions,one who suffers from either a mental or a physical illness has in some way disturbed or get in touch with the supernatural—perhaps a certain animal,a ghost,or the dead.To break away from this,the ill person or one of his relatives will employ a medical man called a "singer" to perform a curing ceremony which will attract a powerful supernatural being.During the ceremony,which may last from 2 to 9 days,the "singer" will produce a sandpainting on the floor.On the last day of the ceremony,the patient will sit on this sandpainting and the "singer" will rub the sick or injured parts of the patient's body with sand from a specific figure in the sandpainting.In this way the patient absorbs the power of that particular supernatural being and becomes strong.After the ceremony,the sandpainting is destroyed so its power won't harm anyone.

The art of sandpainting is handed down from old "singers".The materials used are easily found where the Navaho settle: brown,red,yellow,and white sandstone,which is ground(研磨)much as corn is made into flour.The "singer" holds a small amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his fingers onto a clean,flat surface on the floor,with a steady hand and great patience.He is thus able to create designs of stylized people,snakes and other creatures that have power in the Navaho belief system.The traditional Navaho doesn't allow copying sandpaintings, since he believes the supernatural powers that taught him the craft have forbidden this;however,such reproductions can in fact be purchased today in tourist shops in Arizona and New Mexico.These are done by either Navaho Indians or by other people who wish to preserve this craft.

1.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. The Navaho Indian B. The Ancient "Singer"

C. Functions of Art D. The Navaho Sandpaintings

2.How did the "singer" treat the patient according to the passage?

A. By passing his supernatural power on to the patient.

B. By applying a magic substance to the patient's body.

C. By rubbing the patient's sick parts with sand from a sandpainting figure.

D. By destroying the sandpainting figure.

3.The traditional Navsho does not allow copying of sandpaintings because .

A. anything copied has no effect

B. the craft only belongs to the supernatural

C. it's against Navaho belief system

D. the copying may do harm to other Navahos

4.That the reproductions of sandpaintings are now commercially available shows .

A. people have realized the artistic value of sandpaintings

B. patients have benefited from the powerful effect of sandpaintings

C. more people have come to believe in supernatural power

D. modern technology has helped the production of sandpaintings
