Dear Alice,

I have just got a good news to tell you. I win a national prize for painting last week. My father was so pleasing that he suggested I go to England for a holiday. I’d like to staying there for half a month, visiting place of interest and practicing my English as well. We’ve been written to each other for nearly a year now. I have often dreamed of talk face to face with you . I imagine you’ll be at vacation yourself by that time. Perhaps you will go out do some sightseeing together.

Best, Lily

One evening last summer, when I asked my 14 year old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me."What’s a colander(漏勺)? " he asked.

I could only blame myself.In the family, nobody else’s hands went in the sauce except my own.But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for.

As parents, while we focus on our sons’ confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers.I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, "What’s for dinner?" So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course.I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no.For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine.One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting.Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼皮) and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.

I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother—he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive— but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping."I appreciate what you do as a mom," he told me one day.Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing masculine (男子气概的) about being helpless.

Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family.That’s what I call a man.I’m glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter in law.

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 labours,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 analysing 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(心理学家)a close second.

It also asked mothers about the challenges they face,with 80 percent making emotional(情感的)demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.

Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.

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 relationships is money well spent.

1.How much does a Prime Minister earn,according to the passage?

A.Mothers’importance shows in family all year long.

B.The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.

C.Mothers’devotion to children can hardly be calculated.

D.Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.

4.What can we conclude from the study?

A.Mothers’working hours should be largely reduced.

B.Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.

C.Mothers’labour is of a higher value than it is realized.

D.Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment . “We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it, ”says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.

Every day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news.In this age of visual and aural hyper stimulation, the medium of radio is making a great comeback.

“We’re at the beginning of a golden age of audio,” said US based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald.In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast (播客).These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day’s digital podcast format.The term “podcast” was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years.With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.

The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on demand capabilities (功能).You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you’re walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway.Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.

Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTurns.“I listen while I’m wandering around the house doing something else.It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable… And it’s an easy way of keeping in touch with what’s going on in the rest of the world,” she said, “I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I’ve also been listening to This American Life and Serial.They have a special skill to really draw you in.”

Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers.Blumberg says this owes to the podcast’s ability “to create close relationship and emotional connection.” Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees.“When you’re listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcast’s storyteller is talking directly to you.It’s comforting, ” said Proust.

It seems the age old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well.
