Outdoor Survival Provides Adventure Worldwide

  Although there are no state controlled survival courses in Britain or the United States,there are various independent organizations offering similar activities.

  Students can take part in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies.Anyone can register with such groups,which then organize courses,training and trips for all members.

  One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain,is Outward Bound(户外训练).It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year.

  The courses are intended to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence,self-esteem(自尊)and character.As well as specialist courses such as canoeing, leadership skills and sailing,participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills.

  Michael Williams,an American student,took part in an Outward Bound course last year.He said:“We learned lots of first aid skills,lots of natural history,lots of environmental facts,and took part in a wildlife preservation programme.Beyond that,my favourite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing.”

  Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14.Students must be in general good health,but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports.There is no selection process;everyone is welcome,although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical capacity.

  Most of the British courses take place in the Brecon Beacons in Wales.Another similar organization is the UK Survival School,which includes courses on learning to live with the environment,sailing and winter survival.On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food,how to make fire and cook with it,to find and build a shelter,control survival life support,how to cross rivers,send off a distress signal,and to use compasses by day and night.

  According to the leaders,such adventures are “an awakening,an exploration into the unknown”.Outward Bound believes that participants will “use mind and body traveling some of the Earth’s roughest wilderness areas”.

More surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving(旺盛的). As Skolnich notes, Americans are a marrying people: relative to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline(衰退)in the early 1970s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Even the divorce(离婚)rate needs to be taken in this pro- marriage context: some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus, marriage remains by far the preferred way of life for the vast majority of the people in our society.

  What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty- five years ago, the typical American family consisted of the husband, the wife, and two or three children. Now, there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children, and there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife’s previous marriage, or the husband’s, or both. Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses (配偶).

  Thus, one can find every type of tamely arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriages; marriages with “full - time” children from both the present and former marriages; marriages with“full- time”children from the present marriage and“ part- time”children from former marriages. There are stepfathers, stepmothers, half- brothers and half - sisters. It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family. But even so, even in the midst of all this, there remains one constant: most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.

By calling Americans a marrying people the writer means that ________.

  A. Americans are more traditional than Europeans

  B. Americans expect more out of marriage than Europeans

  C. there are more married couples in the USA than in Europe

  D. more of Americans, as compared with Europeans, prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age

Divorced Americans ________ .

  A. prefer the way they live

  B. will most likely remarry

  C. have lost interest in marriage

  D. are the majority of people in the society

Which of the following can be presented as the picture of today’s American families?

  A. Which types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable.

  B. A typical American family consists of only a husband and a wife.

  C. Americans prefer to have more kids than before.

  D. There are no nuclear families any more.

  Sociologists(社会学家), working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in Germany.

  "Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men's world. " said Dr. James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study.

  Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children cannot be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won't be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children.

  Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances.

  Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in "Women's Liberation", "I don't wish I were a man," she says, "and I don't think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men—usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there…or engineers?"

Many men think ______.

    A. women can't do what men can

    B. men have to work much harder than women

    C. men can make money more easily than women

    D. women's duty is mainly to do housework at home

 Some women have different ideas. They say that ______.

    A. women need chances to go out of the home more often

    B. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they want

    C. if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men

    D. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homes

   Anne Harper thought that ______.

    A. women should live a better life than men

    B. women should be really liberated

    C. women should be given better jobs than men

    D. women should live a more wonderful life than men


(1) Mr. Brown (the motorist)
  At about 9:20 p.m. on October 14th, I was driving along Market Road in the direction of Midwick. I wanted to go to Sturham to collect my wife, who had been visiting some friends. I prepared to turn into Sturham Road, which was on my right. In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was a long way from me. I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right. Then I started to turn slowly towards Sturham Road. Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passenger's (near) side of the car. I stopped the car and got out. A motorcycle had hit my car. The motorcyclist had been thrown over the car. He was injured, so I ran to a shop to phone for help.

  On the evening of October 14th, I was going home along Market Road towards Newtown. I was riding my motorcycle.
