Like many poor Jewish famil

11、ies in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts, and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as “Girlie”.During the Depression my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School

12、to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boys edocation was the familys hope to move up the financial and social ladder. Education for girls, h

13、owever, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the familys income, and culturally, since boys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a “proper home?!” Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher insisted that her parents put her ba

14、ck into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U.C Berkeley.After college, “Girlie” worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at Davids Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, Davids had to hire four people to replace her. Years later, when my g

15、randfathers paint business was struggling, she jumped in and looked some of the hard steps he was reluctant to take, helping to save the family from financial ruin. She displayed her business ability again in her forties. After being diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer, she beat it and then devoted he

16、rself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches. Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy. I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than my grandmother.When my grandmother had children of her ownmy mother and her two brothersshe emphasized

17、education for all of them. My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania. When she graduated in 1965 with a degree in French literature, she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women: teaching or nursing. She chose teaching. She began a Ph. Dprogramme, got

18、married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wifes help to support their family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labour stood.Even though I grew up in a

19、 traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me. My sister, and my brother, all three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My brother and sister joined sports teams, but

20、 I was the kid who got picked last in gym. Despite my athletic shortcomings, I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987, my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics.

21、I dont remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students. I also dont remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children. My friends and I assumed that we would have both. Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes, activiti

22、es, and job interviews. Just two generations removed from my grandmother, the playing field seemed to be level.But more than twenty years after my college graduation, the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would. Almost all of my male classmates work in professional settings. Some

23、 of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home, and just as many are stay-at-home mothers and volunteers like my mom. This mirrors the national trend. In comparison to their male counterparts (相同能力者), highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workforce in h

29、 a nurse in a hospital. He was always carrying his stethoscope (听诊器) so naturally, so I called him “Dr. Saldivar” while I pressed his stethoscope against his chest. But my father, as a humble man, was always correcting me: “I am not a doctor, son, but you can be one.” I grew up feeling like I had no

30、 limits because of moments like this, which has helped me take risks personally and professionally in spite of the hardships I had to endure.Being born to Mexican immigrants meant that my parents had to work very hard to provide for my family and I had to learn to struggle through school paperwork o

31、n my own, because my parents English was limited and they couldnt always be there motivating us through the process. If I wanted to succeed academically, my perseverance, and strength would be tested.Perseverance, strength and good education are the gateway to success. And this is especially true wh

32、en you look at the obstacles that Latinos have to overcome to succeed in public schools. For instance, while the national high school dropout (辍学) rate has decreased significantly, we still have the highest dropout rate in the country. We are more likely to live in poverty and attend racially separa

33、ted schools. These issues create many other problems for Latinos.To help relieve my family burden, I found my first job when I was 14 at a local hotel. Despite the long hours on my new job, I worked hard. Meanwhile, I continually stressed the importance of getting a respectable education and did eve

34、rything possible to get one step closer to making my dream a reality.Nearly a decade later, I became the first in my family to graduate from the University of Southern California. Knowing the social, economic, and political struggles that a community faces, I began to pursue journalism to give the d

38、 way to successful life.23（8分） The United States job market has millions of unfilled jobs. Many of those jobs require technical skills. However, employers say many of those jobs are vacant because they cannot find people with the right skills. Labor experts call this paradox the skills gap. A number

39、 of efforts have been launched to better understand and solve it.Nicholas Wyman wrote a book called, “Job U: How to Find Wealth and Success by Developing the Skills Companies Actually Need.” He calls the skills gap, “a labor market mismatch people without jobs and jobs without people.”In the United

40、States, the cost of a traditional four-year college can be very high. U.S. colleges and universities produce many graduates every year. Yet unemployment rates among new graduates are high.Nicholas Wyman says a combination of technical classes and on-the-job training an apprenticeship (学徒) would be a

41、 better choice for many people. He notes that, “An apprenticeship is where you learn from a specialist, you are provided guidance and you learn in an on-the-job environment. It is vital to get technical skills that are of immediate value to an employer. And it is important to get transferrable skill

42、s because technology and the nature of the workplace are changing at a faster rate than before.”There are questions about the definition, size, and nature of the skills gap in the labor force. Iowa State University researchers studied some of these questions recently. They examined employment, educa

43、tion and population information, and found the evidence of a skills gap is weak.Iowa States Liesl Eathington noted that many policymakers and employers say there is opportunity in “middle skills” areas, like machining. Yet she said the most recent recession (经济衰退) hit some of those job areas hard. S

44、he said students should be on guard because “our economy really isnt adding that many jobs that require the middle skills.”She said employers could get more well-qualified applicants if they offered higher wages. She noted that graduates of two-year training programs still generally make less money

45、than graduates of four-year colleges.The question of finding the night person for the right job remains a difficult one. The Department of Labor says 8.7 million Armenians are unemployed and another 6.7 million can find only part-time work.1、The underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 1 refers to _.A

48、The earlier Thanksgiving in Canada was to celebrate the earlier start of winter in the North, ending the harvest season earlier. Thanksgiving in Canada did not have a fixed date until the late 19th century. Many of the individual Canadian provinces had declared their own days of Thanksgiving. The fi

49、rst official Canadian Thanksgiving occurred on April 15, 1872, when the nation was celebrating the Prince of Wales recovery from a serious illness. By the end of the 19th century, Thanksgiving Day was normally celebrated on November 6. However, when World Warended, the Armistice Day holiday was usua

50、lly held during the same week. To prevent the two holidays from conflicting with each other, in 1957 the Canadian Parliament declared Thanksgiving to be observed on its present date on the second Monday of October.Much as in Canada, Thanksgiving in the United States was observed on various dates thr

51、oughout history. From the time of the Founding Fathers until the time of Lincoln, the date Thanksgiving was observed varied from state to state. The final Thursday in November had become the date of custom in most states by the beginning of the 19th century. Modern Thanksgiving was first officially

52、called for in all states in 1863 by Abraham Lincoln. Influenced by Sarah Josepha Hale, who wrote letters to politicians for around 40 years trying to make it an official holiday, Lincoln declared the date to be the final Thursday in November in an attempt to raise a sense of American unity between t

53、he Northern and Southern states. However, a nationwide official Thanksgiving date was not realized until the 1870s. On December 26, 1941, President Franklin DRosevelt changed the national Thanksgiving Day from the last Thursday in November to the fourth Thursday.1、What do Canada and the USA have in

54、common about Thanksgiving?AThey both have fixed dates of Thanksgiving in historyBThey both celebrate their Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November.CThey both celebrated their first official Thanksgiving in the 1870s.DThey both observed thanksgiving to raise a sense of unity of their countrie

57、o local shores.Last week, Amazon confirmed its rapid Australia expansion by announcing that it was searching for a site to build its “fulfillment center”a large warehouse(仓库)for storing and shipping goods purchased onlinebut local retailer, including one of Harvey Normans founders Gerry Harvey, have

58、 said they will make it hard for Amazon to succeed in Australia.Harvey Norman sells electronics, furniture and beddingall markets in which Amazon hopes to hold a stake, but Harvey has said that he will happily go toe-to-toe with the American behemoth to hold his ground in the Australian market.“In A

59、merica and other parts of he world, they have just demolished (彻底打败) other retailers, no question about that, and they send a lot of retailers broke,” Harvey told News Corp on Monday. “There is no question they have one ambition and like Attila the Hun, or Alexander the Great, they just want to demo

60、lish everything in front of them and then at the end of the day claim to be victorious and make their own rules. So this is a company that is extraordinary by any measure and challenges every rule that has ever been written about a business.”Some analysts have said that Amazon could take in as much
