4．Bloodsucking bed bugs （臭虫） have made a comeback in recent years．But as victims of affection have become increasingly desperate to rid their homes of the disturbing pests，many have only done themselves more harm．
Bed bugs do not transmit disease or cause illness-but the insecticides used to make them do．A total of 111illnesses associated with bed bug-related insecticides were reported in seven states between 2003and 2011，the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention （CDC） said on Thursday．Most cases of poisoning were not severe，but the data included one death．
That case involved a 65-year-old woman in North Carolina who died in 2011．After she complained to her husband about bed bugs，the CDC report said，he sprayed the inside of their home，including the baseboard，walls，and the area around the bed，with the insecticide Ortho Home Defense Max．He then applied a different product，Ortho Lawn and Garden Insect Killer，to their bedding．Neither insecticide is registered for use against bed bugs，the CDC said．That day，the couple also emptied nine cans of Hot Shot Fogger in their home．Two days later，they reapplied the insecticides and released nine more cans of Hot Shot Bedbug and Insect Killer．The woman then applied the insecticide Hot Shot Bedbug and Insect Killer directly to her arms and chest，and wet her hair with it before covering her head with a plastic cap．
Two days later，her husband found her．She was taken to the hospital where she remained on a ventilator （呼吸器） for nine days until she died．The woman had had a history of health problems，including kidney （肾） failure，heart disease，high blood pressure and，and depression，the CDC report said．She had been taking at least 10kinds of medicine at the time of her death．
Aside from the one reported death，most other cases of poisoning were mild．Commonly reported symptoms of exposure included headache and dizziness，breathing difficulties．

1．One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend．"One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that，with a few important exceptions，mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states．"said Neville Alexander，Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town．
In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration，many countries have introduced language laws in the last decade．In some，the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters．One of the first such legal provisions was the 1994"Toubon law"in France，and the idea has been copied in many countries since then．Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts，who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process．
It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the"purity"of a language by law．Since the time of Shakespeare，English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language．English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world，but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power．Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things．English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language，similar，for example，to the Academic Francaise in France．
The need to protect national languages is，for most western Europeans，a recent phenomenon-especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields．Public communication，education and new ways of communication promoted by technology，may be key fields to defend．

5．Why do people feel so rushed？Part of this is a perception （认知） problem．Generally，people in rich countries have more free time than they used to．This is particularly true in Europe，but even in America free time has been inching up．Women's paid work has risen a lot over this period，but their time in unpaid work，like cooking and cleaning，has fallen even more significantly，thanks in part to dishwashers，washing machines and microwaves，and also to the fact that men shift themselves a little more around the house than they used to．
The problem，then，is less how much time people have than how they see it．Ever since a clock was first used at a workplace to record labor hours in the 18th century，time has been understood in relation to money．Once hours are financially quantified （量化），people worry more about wasting，but tend to save or use them more profitably．When economies grow and incomes rise，everyone's time becomes more valuable．And the more valuable something becomes，the rarer it seems．
Once seeing their time in terms of money，people often grow stingy with the former to maximize the latter．Workers who are paid by the hour volunteer less of their time and tend to feel more upset when they are not working．
The relationship between time，money and anxiety is something Gary Becker noticed in America's post-war boom years．"If anything，time is used more carefully today than a century ago，"he noted in 1965．He found that when people are paid more to work，they tend to work longer hours，because working becomes a more profitable use of time．So the rising value of work time puts pressure on all time．Leisure time starts to seem more stressful，as people are forced to use it wisely or not at all．
55．Women's time in unpaid work has fallen partly becauseC．
A．women become more skilled at household equipment
B．men's ability to support a family has been improved
C．men's involvement in housework has increased
D．women's leisure time was taken up by heavy housework
56．From the second paragraph，we learn thatD．
A．The rise of incomes makes time less valuable
B．labor hours were recorded with a clock
C．people haven't realized the value of time
D．more work hours bring in more money
57．The underlined phrase grow stingy with can probably be replaced by"A"．
A．hesitate to spend
B．refuses to delay
C．intend to kill
D．try to accumulate
58．According to Gary Becker，what causes people feel anxious about time？D
A．More and more leisure time．
B．The wrong way of time being spent．
C．People's willingness to work hard．
D．The increasing value of work time．
