12.The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children.A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties,and would be likely to have seven or eight children,four or five of whom lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen,the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years,during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work..Today women marry younger and have fewer children.Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has to take care of children,her work is lightened by moder living conditions.
This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position.Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school..However,when they married,they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school-leaving age is sixteen,many girls stay at school after that age,and though women usually marry older,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage,with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life,and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money,and running the home,according to the abilities and interests of each of them.

13.A decades-old tradition,illustrated in a modem children's book,links the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read.
The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see.He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book.
The little girl had just turned five.Stand up,little one,"he asked the girl softly."I did this for your mother,your uncles,your
old brother,and now you!"
Then,he handed the book to her."Taste f"
She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth.
"What  is  the  taste?"the  grandpa  asked.
The little girl answered,"Sweet!"
Then all.the family said in a single voice,"Yes,and so is knowledge,but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey,you have to go after it through the pages of a book!"The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers.Soon she was going to learn to read.
This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children's book entitled Thank You,Mr.Falker.
In this book,Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read,inspired by the honey on the book.It wasn't until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the help that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written world.
The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books.And with the printed words that are active with.meaning,the child bees acquainted(熟悉的) with a common past which he or she renews,to a greater or lesser degree,in every reading.Much as the author of the book Thank You,Mr.Falker puts it,"Almost as if it were magic,or as if light poured into her brain,the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before-And she understood the whole thing---Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf,the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago.She spooned  honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness---Then she held the book,honey and all,close to her chest.She could feel tears roll down her cheeks,but they weren't tears of sadness-she way happy,so very happy."

28.The girl who tasted the honey on the book wasC.
A.nearly six years old                     B.less than five years old
C.a little more than five years old        D.more than six years old

C.the girl who tasted the honey on the book grew into an artist
D.the honey-on-book tradition has been practiced for many generations

Brain Drain
Imagine you are sitting in your living room and out of surprise you get a call from a friend.He tells you that he's gotten the student visa and is going to study abroad for higher education.His parents may feel it a privilege that their son is guaranteed to have a bright future and unbelievable job opportunities.(71)A  While many people believe that immigration is a personal choice that must be understood and respected,others have realized a serious problem-brain drain.Brain drain refers to the flow of highly skilled and educated people,such as doctors,engineers,scientists from less developed countries to developed countries. Brain drain has become a common social problem.(72)F These reasons are"Push"factors (因素) and"Pull"factors.The push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living conditions,and so on.The pull factors,however,include higher pay and better working conditions,better job opportunities,as well as better research equipment.
As we can see,many educated people are heading for richer countries,seeking higher wages and better working conditions.(73)D It reduces the number of creative people who can contribute to the development of their country.Meanwhile,with more successful businessmen taking their money abroad,their countries are missing an opportunity of wealth creation.(74)B Besides these economic effects,the brain drain has also social negative effects,such as the loss of improvement in research and technique.
Therefore,measures must be taken in less developed countries to avoid brain drain.(75)E   Social developments like health services and education opportunities also need improving.Otherwise,less developed countries will face an uncertain future.
A.Even you may start to admire his plans.
B.This also reduces government tax income.
C.Why should their motivations be seriously considered?
D.This of course has serious negative effects on their own countries.
E.There should be more job opportunities for highly educated people.
F.So it is important to find out the proper reasons behind the brain drain.
G.Most of the measures taken so far have not reduced the effects of brain drain.

11.Sadness is unpleasant,and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else,there is little tolerance for falling in despair.Especially now we've got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings-whether it's after losing a job,the break-up of a relationship or the death of a loved one.So it's no surprise that more and more people are taking them.
But is this really such a good idea?A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn't.They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose.Sadness,they argue,serves a useful purpose-and if we lose it,we lose out.Yet many psychiatrists insist not.Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression they warn.Even when people are sad for good reason,they should take drugs to make themselves feel better.
So who is right?Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch?
There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life.It may be a kind of self-protection,as other primates (灵长类) also show signs of sadness.A losing monkey that doesn't show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey-and that could result in death.
In humans sadness has a further function:we may display sadness as a form of communication.By acting sad,we tell other community members that we need support.
Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods.There are plenty of great artists,writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder.Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task,and negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience,which allows creative processes to come to the front.There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career.A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s.The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.
53.The underlined word"this"refers toA.
A.taking medicine                                  
B.falling in despair    
C.losing a job                                       
D.feeling sad
54. The author believes sadness isC.

B.something horrible never to touch
C.a necessary function of humans'
D.always to be treated as depression
55.Some animals show their sadness in order toB.
A.cheat their enemy                      
B.protect themselves 
C.comfort the loser                      
D.challenge the winner
56.We can infer from the last paragraph thatB.
A.people with great creativity tend to be happier   
B.unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career
C.too much happiness can be bad for your career
D.the happiest people are the most successful ones.
