C
It has been more than 50 years since Harvard Business School started admitting women, yet the institution(机构) is still trying hard to find out how to best attract and support them. Its latest effort: a program targeting women's colleges—place that are not traditional feeding grounds for the male-majority business school.
The program is called Peek. It offers juniors, seniors and recent graduates from women's colleges the opportunity to read and discuss four HBS case studies in class specially taught by top HBS members. About 50 to 70 promising students will pay $500 for their stay there.
Women make up 41 percent of Harvard Business School class of 2016---the most the school has had. In 1985, women made up only one-quarter of the graduating class. Harvard is not alone when it comes to struggling with a gender gap (性别差别). At Wharton, the class of 2016 is 40 percent women; at Standford Business School, it's 42 percent. No top business school had gotten to 50 percent yet.
Despite the Peek program's good intention, the $500 fee bothered someone, said John A. Byrne, the editor of business school new site. "The fact that HBS would charge women for the chance of coming to campus rubbed a lot of people the wrong way,” said Byrne. HBS said the $500 fee was a “fair price” for room and daily meals at the business school for a weekend, and didn't actually cover the full costs of the program.
For years, women students at Harvard Business School failed to keep pace with men. In 2010, Harvard business School got a new manager, Nitin Nohrin, who promised a turnaround. Nohrin designed a program to encourage women students and professors. He promised to change the school's case studies so that at least 20 percent of the people in the business texts would be women.

(3)In the eyes of Byrne, Harvard's program ___________.

【题目】I am always nervous when I get an email from my parents with "FYI(For Your Information)". My parents are in their late 70s, and while they are quite healthy for their ages, I worry about what messages they are going to give me.

I got such an email in September from my father. He sent an email from my cousin who told that her father, my uncle Reese, had passed away. The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life, because Reese was the first of my parent’s siblings(兄弟姐妹) to die, and I was simply not ready for that.

The memorial service was set in Florida, and I quickly decided I needed to go. I needed to be there for my father, and I needed to go for myself. Reese is about nine years older than my father, and I started to do the math in my head. I know that doesn’t make sense, but I will do anything to reason that I still have a lot of time before I will be in my cousin’s shoes.

Reese’s memorial service was small with only family and perhaps a dozen of his friends. The funeral was attended by an even smaller number, and then, the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese’s possessions when he died.

As we drove back to the Orlando International Airport, I thought about how I am not sure what my parents want, not only in their memorial services, but also how they want to be remembered and where they want to be laid to rest. These are going to be difficult conversations, but I know I need to have them. Maybe not right now, but we do need to open the discussion at some point. It may feel too early, but I trust my parents will know that when adult children raise these questions, we do it out of love to honor their lives and their wishes.

1Why do emails with “FYI” make the author uneasy?

A. She’s too busy to read those emails.

B. She dislikes her parents’ nonstop talking.

C. She’s afraid to get bad news about her parents.

D. They often bring unpleasant news.

2How did the author feel about the email from her cousin?

A. Disappointed. B. Shocked. C. Confused. D. Annoyed.

3What do we know from the third and fourth paragraphs?

A. Not many people attended the funeral.

B. A get-together was held at home.

C. Reese’s friends didn’t appear.

D. The author hesitated to go to Florida.

4What does the author decide to do after the funeral?

A. Have a talk with her parents about death.

B. Express her love for her parents bravely.

C. Value her parents’ wishes.

D. Get everything ready for her parents.
