【题目】A

When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.

When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.

Still, her answer surprised me, “Green tea.”

As long as I can remember she didn't even drink Indian tea.

I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.

At the turn of the century,China was not really familiar to the average Indians. It was a strange country.

How things change! And how soon!

Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.

The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investments(投资) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.

But it's a two way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.

No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago,was expected to hit about $15 billion for last year and$20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.

No wonder,my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian(中印) century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.

But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.

【1】 Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?

A.She was tired of Indian tea.

B.She had a son working in China.

C.She believed it had a curing effect.

D.She was fond of Chinese products.

【2】 What do we know about the Indian IT industry?

A.It will move its head office to Shenzhen.

B.It is seeking further development in China.

C.It has attracted an investment of $15 billion.

D.It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.

【3】In the text the author expresses ________.

A.his concern for his mother's health

B.his support for drinking Chinese green tea

C.his surprise at China's recent development

D.his wonder at the growth of India's IT industry

【题目】A

After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can’t understand why her answer to the question, What do you do? is always, Oh, I’m just a housewife. JUST a housewife? Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and clean-up, keeping the house clean, attending PTA meetings, leading a scout troop, playing a taxi driver to us kids when it’s time for school, musical lessons or the dentist, doing volunteer work for her community is not just a housewife. She’s the real Wonder Woman.

Why is it that so many mothers like mine regard themselves as second-class citizens or something similar? Where has this stereotype come from? Has our society made going to work outside the house more important than what a housewife must face each day? I would be curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike. Dishes would pile up and food in the house would run out. There would be no clean towels when needed. Walking and bus riding would increase.

I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over. Oh, he would probably start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job, but how long would that last? Not long, once he had to come home each night after work to more housework. There would be no coming home to a prepared meal; The kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, after cleaning out all the dog hairs from the bathtub. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to crawl into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper.

【1】What does the writer’s mother NOT do according to the first paragraph?

A. Cooking. B. Tidying the house.

C. Driving a taxi. D. Some unpaid work.

【2】 The underlined word stereotype in the second paragraph can be replaced by ____________.

A. mother B. citizen C. similarity D. thought

【3】In the second paragraph, the writer suggests that ____________.

A. mothers are actually great women

B. our society looks down upon housewives

C. housewives should go on a strike

D. doing housework is not important at all

【4】 The possible main idea of the third paragraph is ____________.

A. men should share housework with their wives

B. attitude is not the only thing needed to do a job well

C. kids are the most challenging part of the housework

D. men are unlikely to handle the work of a housewife

【题目】B

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.

So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (空闲); it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all:I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.

By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.
