3．W：Hi，Mr．Lee，I am （41）a reporter from the New York Times．It will be great（42）if you can tell me some information about chopsticks，（43）such as their origin and the materials they are made from．
M：Good question．Chopsticks originated in China，but they are（44）widely （wide） used in many Asian countries．Chopsticks may be made of any of the （45）following（follow） materials：bamboo，wood，gold，silver，ivory，or plastic，and they may be（46）either either round or square．Some chopsticks are decorated （47）withcolored pictures．Ordinary chopsticks used in Chinese homes are made of wood or bamboo．In ancient times，the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth．Many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food had been poisoned．
W：OK，thank you．And I'd like to know why Chinese people use chopsticks．（48）Why not knives and forks，like Americans？

10．At one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurse．Today，however，America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I．Recently about 2，000，000nurses are needed and 60percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages large enough to threaten the quality of care provided．The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field．
What has become of these women in white？The answer lies in not one but several causes．One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options（职业选择）．In the past，women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices：nursing or teaching．Today，more women than ever are in the work force，but their options have greatly increased．There are women doctors，lawyers，firefighters and police officers．In fact，women today are found in nearly every field of work．Nursing has been left behind，as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status（地位）．A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as"merely a nurse"．Teachers may be also at fault．Many high school students are actually being persuaded to keep away from nursing，told by teachers that they are"too bright to be a nurse"．
Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention．In fact，the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years．Obviously a larger population requires more nurses．AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care．Usually fatal diseases mean long drawn-out hospital stay，that is to say，more nurses are needed to care for these patients．It is said that the demand for nurses will be doubled in the coming ten years．

20．Across Britain，burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers．But，according to a new study，we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year．
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work．Now，the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labors，they would earn as much as￡172，000 a year．
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do，as well as the hours they are working，to determine the figure．This would make their yearly income￡30，000 more than the Prime Minister earns．
By analyzing the numbers，it found the average mother works 119 hours a week，40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime．After questioning 1，000 mothers with children under 18，it found that，on most days，mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm．
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour，it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on，including housekeeper，part-time lawyer，personal trainer and entertainer．Being a part-time lawyer，at￡48，98 an hour，would prove to be the most profitable of the"mum jobs"，with psychologist a close second．
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's Day．The emotional，physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending，but children are also sources of great joy and happiness．Investing（投入） in time for parenting and raising relationsh ips is money well spent．
21．How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister？D
A．￡30，000．
B．￡202，000．
C．￡172，000．
D．￡142，000．

A．mothers'importance shows in family all year long．
B．Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return．
C．Mothers'devotion to children can hardly be calculated．
D．The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile．
23．What can we conclude from the study？B
A．Mothers'working hours should be largely reduced．
B．Mothers'labor is of a higher value than it is realized．
C．Mothers should balance their time for work and rest．
D．Mothers should be freed from housework for social life．

12．Some of the most popular programmes on British television，all with their regular millions of loyal viewers，are‘soaps'such as Coronation Street，Eastenders and Emmerdale．（A‘soap'is an informal word for a‘soap opera'，which is a television story，in daily or weekly episodes （连续剧集），about the daily lives of the characters in it．）
In every soap there is comedy and tragedy，and storylines of all kinds．In every soap there is the inevitable gossip，and there is the essential character who brings misfortune on himself-or herself，the spiteful woman who hates the success of her sister in marrying a man with money and whose childish behavior splits the family．
To some degree，of course，the regular episodes provide many people with an adult kind of comic，rather like Dickens'serialized novels did．At times，the actions and characters in them seem quite realistic； at other times，they go to the other extreme and show actions that look as if they are straight from the pen of the best fiction writers．But perhaps the fall into clearly fictional comedy or tragedy is necessary to remind regular viewers that their daily amount of‘soap'is no more and no less than a shot of fiction，and that the characters are not real．
Certainly life is never dull in a soap．If one of the adolescents buys a motorbike and a young child lives round the corner，you can bet the two will meet in an accident．If two people fall in love and get married，you can be sure that a friend will cast an insult on the character of one of them，enough to break up the marriage．After all，this is not life； this is a soap!Reality makes way for fiction．The viewers who think that they are watching even a reflection of reality only bring disappointment to themselves．But there are still viewers who follow the comings and goings of the characters on screen with unreasoning faith，believing that the events are real when characters are injured or ill，or even die，and send cards or flowers with best wishes，congratulations or sympathies．
What many of us find difficult to understand is just why soaps have become so popular？

（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS．）
78．Coronation Street，Eastenders and Emmerdale are popular British soaps whichhave millions of regular loyal viewers．
79．What are the two necessary elements of a soap opera？The inevitable gossip and the essential character
80．The regular viewers need to be reminded that the soap operas areonly （a shot of） fiction and not real．
81．What do some TV viewers do when they are mad about the soaps？They follow the characters on screen unreasoningly/with faith．．
