Men and women who serve in the United States armed forces are proud of the names like
doughboy and GI Joe．The names have come from the American Civil War．
After the American Civil War in the eighteen sixties，a writer in a publication called Beadle’s Monthly used the word doughboy to describe Civil War soldiers．But word expert Charles Funk says that early writer could not explain where the name started．
About twenty years later，someone did explain．She was the wife of the famous American general George Custer．Elizabeth Custer wrote that a doughboy was a sweet food served to Navy men on ships．She also said the name was given to the large buttons on the clothes of soldiers．For example，the soldiers enjoyed their new GI very much．They looked smart and felt comfortable．Elizabeth Custer believed the name changed over time to mean the soldiers themselves．
By World War Two，soldiers were called other names．The one most often heard was GI, or GI Joe．Most people say the letters GI were a short way to say general issue or government issue．The name came to mean several things．It could mean the soldier himself．It could mean things given to soldiers when they joined the military such as weapons，equipment or clothes．And，for some reason，it could mean to organize，or clean．Soldiers often say，“We GI’d the place．”And when an area looks good．soldiers may say the area is“GI．”Strangely，though，GI can also mean poor work，a job badly done．
Some students of military words have another explanation of GI．They say that instead of government issue or general issue，GI came from the words galvanized iron．The American soldier was said to be like galvanized iron，a material produced for special strength．The Dictionary of Soldier Talk says GI was used for the words galvanized iron in a publication about the vehicles of the early twentieth century．
Today，a doughboy or GI may be called a grunt(咕哝声)．Nobody is sure of the exact beginning of the word．But，the best idea probably is that the name comes from the sound that troops make when ordered to march long distances carrying heavy equipment．
68．Originally the word“doughboy”referred to ．
A．the American Civil War B．a word expert in the 1860s
C．the American Civil War writers D．a sweet food and the buttons

查看习题详情和答案>>Gone are the days when men and women couldn’t associate（交往）with each other . When we are asked whether boys and girls can associate with each other, most of us will say, “Yes, of course. Why not? ”
If we want to deal with the association between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.
1. Keep a normal and healthy state of mind（心态）. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very natural for boys and girls to contact each other and build up the friendship with the students of the other sex. Generally speaking, we should broaden the circle of the association. We should make as many friends as possible. We should have more friends of the other sex instead of one or two. We should contact the students in public instead of in secret.
2. Contact students of the other sex warmly, generously and sincerely. Don’t be too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex. In that case it is very difficult for you to make a lot of friends, as no one likes a person who is too shy to say a word. If you are too shy a person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can contact the students with the same interest and hobby with you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
3. Don’t fall into the ditch（泥潭）of early love . The boys and girls at adolescence（青春期）are rich in feeling and full of imagination . They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, boys and girls at middle school are too young and too tender to shoulder the heavy duty of love. Early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apply won’t taste sweet until it is fully ripe（成熟）. Do keep out of early love.
59. The main idea of the passage is to .
A. tell students to keep away from early love
B. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
C. say contact does good not only to boys but also to girls
D. teach boys how to talk with girls
60. The underlined word “broaden” in the passage means “ .”
A. close down B. make small C. make big D. make known
61. A person at adolescence is NOT .
A. rich in feelings B. old enough to fall in love
C. full of imagination D. easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love.
62. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Men and women used not to be allowed to associate with each other.
B. We’d better not make only one or two friends of the other sex.
C. Some students are too nervous or too shy in contact with a person of the other sex.
D. People like a person who always keeps silent.

Go to church, then have a big lunch, then go out to play while mum does the housework. That was a typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different.
Some British sociologists（社会学家）recently studied the typical（典型的）British Sunday. They found that people get up later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.
Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea.
But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cook themselves.
“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there is nothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.
“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work.”
In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.
Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.
71. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because _______.
A. They have no time to cook at home. B. They get up too late.

B. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.
C. British women did their shopping on Sundays in the past.
D. British men did little housework at home in the past.
73. The underlined word “ leisure” in Para 3 means ___________.
A. housework B. shopping C. lunch D. free time
74. The text mainly tells us ________.
A. what Britons did on Sundays
B. why Britons go shopping on Sundays
C. How Britons spend their holidays
D. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays
75. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Men do more housework on Sundays.
B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.
C. No people go to church on Sundays now.
D. Britons all go out on Sundays.
