A
How many men do housework? Recently a European commission(委员会) tried to find out people’s ideas and reactions to the women’s movement. As part of their survey(调查),they asked many men and women the question,” Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women!
The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things. 37% of Danish(丹麦的) men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all!
But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands. Their answers were the same as their wives’ answers.
Do the men you know help in the house? Do you think the survey gives a true picture in your experience? Write and tell us what you think.
1. The survey was carried out in _____.
A. Britain
B. Italy
C. Europe
D. Denmark

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist , a leader, an active person who enjoys life. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don't choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.
5. According to this passage, _________.
A. one can choose his color preference
B. one is born with his color preference
C. one's color preference is changeable

A. colors do have effect on our moods(情绪)
B. colors may have effect on our work and study
C. light and bright colors make people happy
D. you can know your friends better by the colors they like or dislike
7. The main idea of this passage is ________.
A. one's color preference shows one's character
B. you can brighten your life with wonderful colors
C. one's color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings
D. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preference
8. "I am feeling black" means ______.
A. I am feeling well
B. I am very happy
C. I am excited

Our surroundings are being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.
What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going—and why? It makes one think of the story about the airlin e pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.
9.Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted mainly because______.
A. the population of the world is decreasing fast
B. people use too many man-made materials
C. we have more and more industry
D. we are producing more cars, trucks and buses
10. People crowd into the cities because ______.
A. they are anxious to enjoy the achievements of our society
B. they want very much to find well-paid jobs
C. they have become tired of their homeland
D. they have a strong wish to become industrial workers
11. According to the passage, what does man value most?
A. Health.
B. Industry.
C. Clean air.
D. The future of the children.
12. The story about the airline pilot tells us that ______.
A. man knows where the society is going
B. the writer is worried about the future of our society
C. man can do little about the problem of pollution
D. people do not welcome the rapid development of modern society
D
Pride, amusement or embarrassment — w hat we’re called has a big influence on how other people see us and how we see ourselves. So, what’s in a name?
Ashley Wright, 24, London
My mum saw a film and decided her child was going to be called Ashley whether a boy or a girl. My dad is Jamaican and my mum is part English, part Irish. People think because I look foreign I should have a foreign name, but I think of myself as typically English. I was anxious to change my name to Angel or Percy, but now I am very glad my mum said no.
James Dearlove, 37, London
There are lots of Dearloves in Liverpool, and some people think it is a version of the French name De Lyon. My dad’s not from Liverpool or France, though —he’s Cornish. People never believe it’s my real name. I am slightly annoyed about that.
Mimi Joung, 35, originally from Korea
My name is actually Mi, which means beauty. In Korea, it’s traditional to have two syllables(音节) in your name, but my father said, “Beauty is all I can give her”, so I just got one. When I came to England 10 years ago, people thought it was too short and started to call me Mimi. When I am at home, everyone still calls me Mi. But I like Mimi better now.
13. Why did Ashley’s mother choose the name for her child?
A. Because Ashley is a character in the film she was fond of then.
B. Because she was part English, part Irish.
C. Because she thought that the name would be popular one day.
D. Because her husband advised her to do so and she agreed.
14. All of the following sentences are right EXCEPT _______.
A. Dearlove is a popular name in Liverpool
B. Mi is a traditional Korean name
C. Ashley Wright doesn’t want to change the name now
D. Mimi Joung prefers to be called Mimi rather than Mi now
15. The passage is mainly about _______.
A. English names
B. the most interesting names
C. how to get a name
D. what is in a name

Dear Tom,
I'm very glad to receive your letter. And it's a pleasure to tell you something about how I spent the National Day holiday.
First, I had a good rest because recently I often felt tired as a result of my heavy study burden as well as lack of sleep and physical exercise. Of course, it took me two days to stay with my grandparents living in the countryside and help them do some housework and tell them what happened to me and my friends. What's more, I had a trip with my friends to appreciate the beauty of nature and breathe fresh air. What did you do in your summer holidays? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ping。
