Imagine working at a job which requires you to lie around all day，watch television，play video games，and surf the Internet. It seems like perfect work for a couch potato―until you find out that you must stay in bed 24 hours a day for 90 days straight！Suddenly, this job doesn't sound like much fun at all.
A 10-year study by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA美国国家航天局) has been looking for volunteers to endure enforced(强制) bed rest,allowing doctors to study the effects of weightlessness on the human body. The bed rest recreates as closely as possible conditions which astronauts in space must endure.
Astronauts returning from space often have temporary physical problems. Many are likely to faint(晕倒) and feel dizziness(眩晕) due to low blood pressure. A long trip in space can also lead to muscle weakness, decreased bone strength, and abnormalities(不正常) in their blood. All of these conditions are exactly like those in the best rest study.
The studies are done at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. Vol?unteers are under the constant supervision of doctors and other healthcare workers, and must fol?low strict guidelines.
They are not allowed out of bed even to go to the bathroom(厕所) .Meals are brought at regular times, and naps(午睡) are not permitted. At 6:00 a. m. volunteers are awakened, and lights are out at 10:00 p. m. They are supplied with televisions,videos, DVDs,and computers with Internet access. Family and friends may visit.
To take part in the study, volunteers must be non-smokers, between 25-55 years old,and in excellent health. The volunteers can be given up to $ 17， 000 for travel expenses and lost work time.

If you are ever lucky to be invited to a formal dinner party in Paris,remember that the French have their own way of doing things，and that even your finest manners may not be " cor?rect" by French custom. For example, if you think showing up promptly at the time given on the invitation，armed with gifts of wine and roses，complimenting your hostess on her cooking， laughing heartily at the host's jokes and then leaping up to help the hostess will make you the perfect guest, think again.
Here Madame Nora Chabal, the marketing director of the Ritz Hotel in Paris,explained how it works.
The first duty of the guest is to respond to the invitation within 48 hours. And,the guest may not ask to bring a guest because the hostess has chosen her own.
Flowers sent in advance are the preferred gift. They may also be sent afterwards with a thank-you note. It is considered a very bad form to arrive with a gift of flowers in hand,there?by forcing the hostess to deal with finding a vase when she is too busy to do that. See,that's the logic！The type of flowers sent has a code of its own,too. One must never send chrysanthe?mums because they are considered too humble a flower for occasion. Carnations are considered bad luck,and calla lilies are too reminiscent(令人联想) of funerals(葬礼) .A bouquet of red roses is a declaration of romantic intent. Don't send those unless you mean it,and never to a married hostess. And though the French love wine,you must never bring a bottle to a dinner party. Why,it's as if you feared your hosts would not have enough wine on hand,and that's an insult. You may,however, offer a box of chocolates which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee.
If an invitation is for eight o'clock，the considerate guest arrives at 8 ： 15. Guests who arrive exactly on time or early are mere thoughtless ones who are not giving the hostess those last few minutes she needs to deal with details and crises. The "correct" guest arrives between 15 to 20 minutes after the hour because dinner will be served exactly 30 minutes past the time on the invi?tation.
( ) 1. According to Madame Nora Chabal, which of the following is polite?
A.Offering a box of chocolate to the hostess.
B.Holding a gift of flowers in hand when you arrive at the host's home.
C.Taking a bottle of wine to a dinner party.
D.Bringing a friend with you to go to the host's home together.
( ) 2. The underlined word "complimenting" probably means .
A. making comments on B. playing jokes on
C. singing praise of D. sharing opinions with
( ) 3. If an invitation is for 5 p. m. , the guest had better arrive at .
A. 5:15 p.m. B. 4:55 p.m.
C. 5：00 p.m. D. 5：30 p.m.
( ) 4. What is the passage mainly about?

As late as 1800, women's only place was in the home. The idea of woman in the business world was unthinkable. Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1846, they had to sign their books with men's names instead.
Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college inAmericato accept women.
Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Nightingale became fa?mous. Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman,people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be "ladies". Miss Nightin?gale opened England's first training school for nurses in 1860.
The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted.
