31、them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he

32、really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own

33、fault. Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the

During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a womans life spent in carin

38、g for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her earl

39、y fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until

40、retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器) and convenience foods.This important change in womens way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school

41、 at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at

42、work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husban

43、d and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each them.( ) 60. According to the passage, around the year 1990 most women married _.A. at about twenty-five B. in their early fiftiesC. as soon as possible after they were fiftee

45、ys ( ) 62.

According to the passage, it is now quite usual for

46、 women to _.A. stay at home after leaving school B. marry men younger than themselvesC. start working again later in life D. marry while still at schoolC Although American informality(不拘小节) is well known, many new visitors think that it shows a lack of respect. This is especially true in the busines

47、s world. Americans often use first names upon meeting a stranger and dont always shake hands. They often just smile and say “Hi” or “Hello” rather than using a more formal handshake. It is good to remember that to an American such an informal greeting really means the same thing as a formal handshak

48、e someplace else. Similarly, Americans do not usually give a special farewell(告辞) or handshake to each person when they leave a party of business meeting. They will often just wave goodbye to the whole group or perhaps say, “Well, so long everybody, Ill see you tomorrow.” They then will leave. No ha

49、ndshakes. Americans seem either totally(完全地) hurried and hardworking or totally informal and at ease. Often youll see men working at office desks without their suit coats and ties. They may lean far back in their chairs and even put their feet up on the desks while they are talking on the telephone.

50、 This does not mean to be rude. Once Americans leave the busy streets, they are easy and informal. ( ) 64.
