As nanny(保姆), cook, cleaner, shopper, driver, and gardener, she has one of the most demanding jobs in Britain today. And paying someone else to do the chores(家务活) which take the average housewife 71 hours a week would cost ?349.

At over ?18,000 a year that’s more than the earnings of 70 percent of the population, including train drivers, firemen, prison officers, and social worker. Looking after a baby less than a year old takes a housewife into a even higher pay league. According to a study, she earns ?457 a week – at nearly ?24,000 a year, the same as teachers, engineers, and chemists.

Researchers put a price on each chore, then tried to find out how long the average person takes doing them. They found housewives spend an average 70.7 hours a week on housework – with looking after the children (17.9hours) and cooking and cleaning (12.9 hours each) the most time-consuming(费时).

A wife with a part-time job still works and average of 59 hours a week at home. Those in full-time employment put in longer hours at home than in the workplace. The good news is that these hours sharply decrease as children get older. While the average mother with child under one puts in 90 hours weekly, the figure drops to 80 hours from one to four and to 66 hours from five to ten.

Mother-of-four Karen Williams from London said, “Paying the housewives may not be practical, but the government should recognize the value of housework, perhaps through the tax. Running a house takes a lot of time and most husbands don’t understand this. For example, my husband only puts a shelf up now and again. He never cleans the kitchen – that’s the real test.”

Who earns most according to the text?

A. A social worker. B. A fireman. C. A gardener. D. A teacher.

We lean from the text that looking after children ______.

A. takes more time than doing any other housework

B. means more duties than being a teacher

C. requires the mother to be well-educated

D. prevents the mother from working outside

According to the text, a housewife with a baby less than one year old may work _____.

A. 66 hours a week B. 71 hours a week C. 80 hours a week D. 90 hours a week

By mentioning her husband, Karen Williams wants to show that ______.

A. housework is no easy job B. her husband has no time to clean the kitchen

C. a housewife needs to be paid for cleaning D. the kitchen is hard to clean

The new studies show that fewer than half of the 9th graders in many of the nation’s largest cities, can ever graduate. The studies clearly show that the dropout rate isn’t dropping. And, in particular, the dropout rate isn’t dropping for poor and minority students.

Amazingly, though so many regret the rising dropout rate, our schools continue to lack formal plans—or any plans—to teach students motivation. Most schools have no game plan to ensure that students understand that schooling will be completely necessary. Schools expect youth and children to act as though schooling is important, but they never teach them to believe that.

Years ago, families ensured that the children recognized the value of schooling. But in many modern families, the children may fail to recognize the importance of school life just because these families may actually tell their children that school is not important. Since many families are not motivating their children to be interested students, youth professionals, like teachers may need to provide this training.

Here are some strategies to convince even the most apathetic (无动于衷的) students that they must stay in school.

Ask students if they will ever need to work: The world has changed. 100 years ago, factory work was the booming job, and it required no education. Today, factories are increasingly automated. Most computer-related jobs require education and at least a high school diploma.

Ask students which century they will be prepared for: In 1900, the most common jobs were farm laborer and domestic servant—education not needed. Now, the most common jobs are office and sales staff—education and diploma usually needed. An amazing 6 out of 10 people today work in a store or office.

Ask students to devise a way that the employee could be replaced. For example, the coming trend in fast food is to use computers rather than people to run the restaurant. A prototype is apparently already being tested. The students should discover that most jobs that lack education and diploma requirements may be ripe for automation.

1.What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph1?

A．Few students can afford to go to school in large cities.

B．A large number of the 9th graders can graduate now.

C．There are still quite a few 9th graders leaving school early.

D．Most schools in large cities have fewer and fewer students.

2.It can be inferred that .

A．both schools and families should answer for the high dropout rate

B．many new jobs don’t need children’s high school diploma

C．working in a store doesn’t require a high school diploma

D．most schools are ready to help students recognize the importance of study

3.The author takes factory work for example mainly to .

A．tell us that many jobs required certain education in the past

B．show that employment in the computer field grows at a high rate

C．show that there are more factory work and employment in modern society

D．emphasize that modern jobs require education and schools are necessary

The food we eat seems to have great effects on our health. Although science has made great steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to diet as well. Different cultures are subject to certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery.

In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates(硝酸盐) and nitrites(亚硝酸盐), commonly used to keep color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels(标签) of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cows and chick and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.

Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although the FDA has tried repeatedly to control these, the practices continue.

1.How has science done a bad service to mankind?

A. Diseases caused by food have been done away with.

B. It has caused a lack of information about the value of food.

C. Some harmful materials have been added to our food.

D. Scientists have made food more expensive to eat.

2.What are nitrates used for?

A. They help process packaged food.

B. They keep the color in meats.

C. They cure diseases of cows and chickens.

D. They cause the animals to become fatter.

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. You can find out harmful additives on the packaging labels of food.

B. Drugs given to animals are not all for medical reasons.

C. Researchers knew about the harm of food additives about 60 years ago.

D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.

4.According to the passage, the FDA might be _________.

A. an organization which controls the safety of food

B. a producer which makes additives

C. a factory which processes food

D. a hospital which cures cancer
