However, the appearance-timeofthe full“

16、 house-husband ” is changing traditional family.A survey in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen shows that 22 percent, 73 percent, 34 percent and 32 percent of white-collar male workers, aged between 28 and 33, would be prepared to do the housekeeping if the conditions were right.Yang Wenhui,

17、32 years old, worked at the office of a company choses to quit the job.“ My job was dull and steady. I was not promoted(提拔 ). My wife, in contrast, real ly likes her job. So, after our baby was born, I chose to stay at home and take care of thefamily while my wife works full- time outside the home,”

18、 said Yang.Sociologists have found the full-time house-husband emerges in three mainsituations.Firstly, if the wife is ambitious, well-paid and has good job prospects, while herhusband is paid poorly and has no job prospects, it makes economic sense for the woman to become the main income earner for

19、 the household. Secondly, if the wife is tired of household chores and eager to work outside the home, her husband may forfeithis job. Thirdly, if the husband can do his work at home, he may take this choice as it allows him more time to take care of the family.Influenced by traditional ideas, some

20、families with full-time house-husbands prefer others not to know about their arrangement, concerned people would laugh at a husbandwith“ no prospects” or wife who is“ too strong” .Zhou Wei said he has become used to being a full-time househusband although hisrelatives doubted this when they gathered

21、 during the holidays.“ A happy life is the mimportant thing, not other peoples opinions,” added Zhou.36. The reason for Yang Wenhui quitting his job is that _.A. it is too difficult for him to do itB. it is too boring for him to do itC. he is too old to go on doing itD. his wife wanted him to quit i

22、t37. In which situation is a man unlikely to become a full-time house-husband?A. He can earn enough money to keep family and has a good job prospects.B. He can earn much less than his wife and will never get promoted.C. His wife hates housework and is busy with her work outside.D. His job can be don

23、e at home and he would like stay at home.38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. A full-time house-husband is a man without prospects in life.B. A full-time house-husband is much weaker than his wife.C. A full-time house-husband is willing to share his experience with his rela

24、tives.D. A full-time house-husband can also enjoy happiness from housework.39. The underlined word“ forfeit ” probably means _.A. appreciateB. quitC. continueD. escapeBA friend asks me“ Why don t Chinese go Dutch?” So I want to regardtion this ques.as the topic and write an article. As everyone know

25、s, westerners will go Dutch while having a meal in the restaurant.But Chinese don t go Dutch.Chinese will pay the bill and check out generously. Westerners don't often entertain guests; but Chinese often invite friends to dinner. A lot of westerners feel puzzled to this question.Why does there e

26、xist such a difference? First of all, food systems between China and the West are different. Chinese put into practice Gather Dining System; westernersput into practice Individual Dining System. Everybody can share the delicious food ofall over the table when eating Chinese food. Please note it is s

27、haring, but westerners justeat the food in one s own.If youplateat beef and he eats chicken, it is impossible thatyou taste the flavor of his chicken. The result of the Individual Dining System is that you can only eat the food in your plate.So to eat Chinese food is happier than to eat western-styl

28、e food. And I want to askyou a question. Do you like thefree thing? I think nobody doesn t like the. free thing OK! Suppose I invite you to eat the delicious Chinese food, then I pay the bill. This is equivalent to that you have enjoyed a delicious Chinese food free. So you will be very glad. It wil

29、l strengthen the relation between us in the happy atmosphere.Secondly, westerners eat for the health; Chinese eat for the friendship. Westerners advocate individualism and independence is strong. So westerners express that respect for each other s independenceughthrothe way of going Dutch. Chinese l

30、ike makingfriends and solidarity. Chinese value the interpersonal relationships and the friendship very much.Thirdly, it is only simple “ Have a meal ” for westerners to entertain.Unlikeguests the purpose and the means that Chinese entertain guests,inAmericans ,idea“Have a meal” definition is to add

31、 fuel to the body for keeping health and normal life activity. That is to say, there is not any additional value. In the Chinese idea,“ Have a meal ” not only is a kind of life enjoyment, but also is the means to promote friendship between the friends. After enjoying the sumptuous delicious food, yo

32、u are glad, and I am glad too. The friendship between the friends has been strengthened in this kind of atmosphere.40 What does “ go Dutch ” mean?A. Diners will pay for the meal separately.B.

36、ing everyone knows that. But for a creature called the Cuvier sbeaked whale, hearing starts in the throat, a new study found.The observation might help explain how all whales hear. The work might also help scientists understand how animals are affected by underwater sonar声(纳系统 ). This sonar, used by

37、 some ships, sends out sound waves to locate underwater objects.The Cuvier s beakedalewhis a so-called toothed whale. Toothed whales dive deep into the ocean in search of food. As the whales hunt, they produce sounds that reachobjects and then return to the whales. This allows the animals to“ see” t

38、he shapeand location of objects, even when they re 1,000 meters under the sea, where it is totallydark.To better understand how the whale hears, researchers from San Diego StateUniversity in California took X- rays of two Cuvier s beaked whales. The whales haddied and washed up on the beach.Ted Cran

39、ford and his colleagues used the images to make a computer model of a Cuvier s beaked whale s head. Then, they modeled the process of sound traveling through the head.The researchers knew that some sounds get to the ears of a toothed whale through a structure called “ the window for sound ” . Found

40、on the lower jaw, this structure is very thin on the outside and has a large pad垫() of fat on the inside.When the researchers used their computer model to work out how sound waves travel in the whale s head, they were surprised to find that sounds coming from right in frontof the whale actually trav

41、el under the animalm there,sjawsound.Frowaves movethrough the throat, into a hole in the back of the jaw, and finally to the pad of fat near the animal s ears.Cranford guesses that other types of whales may hear through their throats. Further testing is needed to be sureEventually,. the insight into

42、 how whales hear might explain whether sonar testing by military ships is causing the animals to wind upon beaches.44.Toothed whales look for food under the sea by _.A. watching the shape and size of their objectsB. diving deep into the seaC. sending and receiving soundsD. making lots of noises45.Re

Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we

47、are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion. Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation

48、confidently and without embarrassment.Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boys hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable style

49、s and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats for example. In cold climates, early bu

50、ildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats, and more American men followed his example.There is also a cyclical (周期性的 ) pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War II, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter until the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again.Today, society is much freer and easier than it
