Calvin Coolidge (1872 – 1933) was the thirtieth president of the United States. He looked down on a person as being unworthy of respect who was too fond of talking about the details of others people’s actions and private lives because he had no time for small talks. The following two incidents clearly show how Collidge treasured silence.

When he was vice president, Coolidge had plenty of opportunities to participate (参加) in Washington’s social life, especially the many dinner parties. As be ignored the art of conversation, he couldn’t exactly make himself dear to his hostesses. One lady felt she could solve this problem. She placed him next to Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of the former President Roosevelt. Mrs. Longworth, a very brilliant conversationalist (谈话者), began to talk in her usual charming manner, but all attempts to a wake the interest on the part of the vice president were unproductive. Finally, being shamed into anger, she said, “I’m sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must get terribly bored.”

Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Coolidge said not very clearly, “Well, a man has to eat somewhere.”

Later, when he was president and once again at a dinner party, Collidge was seated next to an outstanding society woman, one of those busybodies, who seemed to take delight in trying to change the lives of everyone they met. “Oh, Mr. President,” she spoke with too much enthusiasm, “you are always so quiet. I made a bet (打赌) today that I could get more than two words out of you.”

President Collidge considered those people as being unworthy of respect .

A．who liked to talk about the affairs of others

B．who never talked about anything serious

C．who often spoke insincerely

D．who talked much but did little

The hostesses thought Collidge was unfriendly because in her eyes.

A．he treated women coldly and rudely

B．he paid no attention to conversational skills

C．he was too serious to please any women

D．he was pretty easy and quick to get angry

Mrs. Longworth got shamed and angry because .

A．the vice president took part in too many dinner parties

B．the vice president didn’t lift his eyes from his plate

C．the vice president didn’t speak exactly and clearly

D．the vice president didn’t react to all her efforts

The underlined sentence “Well, a man has to eat somewhere” probably means .

A．Mr. Coolidge didn’t want to talk with Mrs. Longworth at all

B．Mr. Coolidge had really got tired of so many social dinners

C．Mr. Coolidge was unhappy with the dinner he was eating that day

D．Mr. Coolidge was really hungry and had to find something to eat

My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.

If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.

Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.

The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.

I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.

I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”

What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN.

C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future.

What’s the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?

A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.

B. To let readers know how special his house is.

C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.

D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.

The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _____.

A. it has been controlled by computers

B. you can make a telephone call anywhere

C. it has your favorite music following you

D. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice

What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?

A. An IT expert. B. A famous doctor.

C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher.

What can’t be done in the writer’s new house?

A. turns on the lights B. play music

C. get a telephone call D. go swimming

Women might have a higher position at work, but at home their careers tend to give way to their husband’s job, with women most likely to quit when both are working long hours, according to a U．S．study．

Researcher Youngjoo Cha, from Cornell University, found that working women with a husband who worked 50 hours or more a week found themselves still doing most of the housework and the care giving and were more likely to end up quitting their jobs．

An analysis of 8,484 professional workers and 17,648 nonprofessionals from dual-earner （双职工） families showed that if women had a husband who worked 60 hours or more per week it increased the woman’s possibility of quitting her paid job by 42 percent．Cha said the possibility of quitting increased to 51 percent for professional women whose husbands work 60 hours or more per week, and for professional mothers the possibility they would quit their jobs jumped 112 percent．

However, it did not significantly affect a man’s possibility of quitting his job if his wife worked 60 hours or more per week, according to the study published in the American Sociological Review in April．For professional men, both parents and non-parents, the effects of a wife working long hours were negligible, according to the study．

“As long work-hours introduce conflict between work and family into many dual-earner families, couples often solve conflict in ways that prioritize husbands’ careers,” Cha, who used data from the U．S．Census Bureau, said in a statement．“This effect is magnified （突出） among workers in professional and managing occupations, where the criterion of overwork and the culture of looking after children tend to be strongest．The findings suggest that the popularity of overwork may lead many dual-earner couples to return to a traditional family pattern — breadwinning men and homemaking women．”

66．According to the text, we know that ______．

A．men prefer work long hours B．women prefer to work outside

C．men’s careers are unimportant D．women are more likely to quit jobs

67．The underlined word “negligible” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______．

A．unimportant B．limited C．different D．obvious

68．Which statement is true according to the text?

A．When there’s conflict between work and family, a husband will give up his work．

B．Women may still do most of the housework and care for babies or children．

C．Professional women are more likely to quit the job than professional mothers．

D．A man’s chance of quitting jobs was influenced if his wife works long hours．

69．We can infer from the last sentence that ______．

A．all the workers pay more attention to looking after children

B．overwork may have no influence on dual-earner couples

C．traditionally, men usually worked to support the family

D．most dual-earner couples will return to a traditional family pattern

70．In which column of China Daily can you find this passage?

A．Health B．Life C．Sport D．Entertainment

Who would you rather _____ the meeting instead of you?

A．attend B．have attend C．have attended D．have to attend
