[1] Weeks after his wife died, Rao Pingru started to paint pictures of her. From the first time he saw her putting on makeup in a mirror, to their wedding at which they promised “to love and cherish”, to her lying in bed on her final days-all the images of their nearly 60-year marriage have been food for his art.

[2] “When I create her with brushstrokes, she is there, and our story doesn’t perish,(死亡)” said Rao, 91, a retired military man and former, editor. He has filled 18 albums of drawings in the past four years, which he called Our Story.

[3] At first, the Jiangxi native was only trying to pass the time and leave something so his grandchildren could “know about their grandparents” who have been through war, poverty, sickness and, perhaps most importantly, love.

[4] Rao met Meitang as a blind date when he came back from war in 1946. “It’s a strange thing. You just have to meet the right person to have that feeling,” he said, thinking of how lovely She was. During their early dates, Rao ______________ “the three words”. Instead, he sang a pop song of the time, Rosemary, I love you, to express his feelings, on a park bench in Nanchang, Jiangxi province.

[5] The first two years of their marriage was “the sweetest time” of Rao’s life, as he recalled, in spite of the turbulence following the war. The couple adopted a happy-go-lucky policy wherever they traveled, worked and lived. They managed to escape robbery by hiding their possessions in tires while Rao was working in Guizhou province.

Cherie Blair has attacked “yummy mummies” who focus on raising their children at the expense of their careers, suggesting their children lack a sense of independence. The wife of the then British Prime Minister also accused some young women of seeking to “marry a rich husband and retire” instead of working.

Mrs Blair, a QC and mother of four, criticized women who “put all their effort into their children” instead of working. Mothers who go out to work are setting a better example for their children, she said.

Some women regard motherhood as an acceptable alternative to a career. Instead, women should strive for both. “Every woman needs to be self-sufficient and in that way you really don’t have a choice-for your own satisfaction; you hear these yummy mummies talk about being the best possible mother and they put all their effort into their children. I also want to be the best possible mother, but I know that my job as a mother includes bringing my children up so actually they can live without me.”

The term “yummy mummy” is generally used to refer to a woman whose husband’s wealth allows her to devote herself full-time to her children and her appearance.

In fact, despite Mrs Blair’s worries about non-working mothers, official statistics show that the proportion of mothers who work has actually risen steadily in recent years. According to the Office for National Statistics, 66 percent of mothers are now in some form of paid work. In 1996, the figure was 61 percent. The number of working mothers is now around 5.3 million, up from 4.5 million in 1996.

Speaking to Fortune magazine’s Most Powerful Women event in Claridge’s, Mrs Blair appeared to accuse some young women of lacking professional ambition, focusing on their prospective partner’s career instead of their own. Mrs Blair said her view was informed by her own experience of her father abandoning her mother when she was a child. But she insisted that all women should make sure they can provide for themselves: “Even good men could have an accident or die and you’re left holding the baby.”

Often in the headlines during her husband’s premiership, Mrs Blair has taken a more active public role since he left office in 2007, setting up a charitable foundation to support women setting up their own firms in developing countries.

71. If some one is a yummy mummy, she is most likely to ________.

A. start her own company              B. teach her children at home

A. The number of working mothers has dropped since 1996.

B. Mrs. Blair worked even when her husband was Prime Minister

C. Most women in Britain would like to be yummy mommies.

D. Mrs. Blair was worried about those working mothers.

74. Which of the following statements is true about Mrs. Blair?

B. Mrs Blair must have had a happy and quiet childhood.

If you don’t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret, according to a British market research document released last week.

Researchers peered (凝视) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners’ lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nation’s people by fridge contents.

They say those people can be separated into five categories: nutrition nerds (no social sense), food faddiest (whatever’s in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars.

Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat.

People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.

A fridge full of vitamins—enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddiest, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.

A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life.

Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water or soda pop. The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint at someone who worlds hard and plays hard, also, someone who is not into long term planning.

Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.

66. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?

A. Some researchers are fond of staring at other people’s fridges.

B. People don’t want others to know about their secrets.

C. The food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality.

D. There are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people.

67. According to the passage, people who belong to food faddiest ________.

A. don’t care much about money when buying things

B. will try their best to stay healthy

C. often stay up late to finish their job

D. prefer to ask others about what to do next

68. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. “Nutrition nerds” are always organized and successful in their jobs.

B. “Food faddists” like to stock their fridges with all kinds of vitamins.

C. “Martyr mums” care themselves more than others.

D. “Fast food fanatics” usually do not stock their fridges with fresh fruit.

69. What will those who often dine out put in the fridge?

A. All kinds of food they like.                B. Only something to drink.

C. Fruit, vegetables and meat.                D. Food rich in vitamins.

70. What is this passage mainly about?

A. What people store in their fridges.

B. Fridge contents and its owner’s secret.

C. What we should store in our fridges.

D. How to keep our fridge contents secret.

Have you ever heard the saying “All roads lead to Rome”? At one time, this was pretty much true. During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier(信使), and make trade easier. This construction work went on for five centuries! If all the roads built during the Roman Empire were put together end to end, they would circle the equator twice.

The network of Roman roads was begun in 312 BC. It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down. Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers. The first layer was made of sand. Next, the builders added rocks and rubble. On top of these materials came gravel. On this solid foundation, the road builders placed paving stones.

Also, Roman roads were cambered. This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them down in a zigzag pattern to make the road rise gradually.

All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑), placed every thousands paces (a Roman mile). The milestones told when the road was built, who was emperor at the time, the road’s destination, how far the traveler was from the destination, and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road. This information was a great help to travelers.

Because of their excellence in construction, it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today. These roadways are one of the most impressive accomplishments of the Roman Empire.
