阅读理解

　　Cara Lang is 13．She lives in Boston, Massachusetts, in the U．S．Last Thursday, she didn’t go to school．She went to work with her father instead．Every year, on the fourth Thursday in April, millions of young girls go to work．This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day．The girls are between the ages of 9 and 15．They spend the day at work with an adult, usually a mother, father, aunt, or uncle．They go to offices, police stations, laboratories, and other places where their parents or other family members work．Next year, the day will include sons, too．

　　The Ms．Foundation, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago．In the U．S．, many women work outside the home．The Ms．Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs．Then, when the girls grow up, they can choose a job they like．

　　Cara’s father is a film director．Cara says, “It was very exciting for me to go to the studio with my dad．I saw a lot of people doing different jobs．” Many businesses have special activities for girls on this day．Last year, Cara went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts．In the engineering department, the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks and candy．In the chemistry department, they learned to use scales．They learned about many other kinds of jobs, too．

　　Right now, Cara does not know what job she will have when she grows up．But because of Take Our Daughters to Work Day, she knows she has many choices．

(1)

What is Cara’s father?
[　　]
A．	An engineer．
B．	An official．
C．	A moviemaker．
D．	A professor．

(2)

According to the passage, Take our Daughters to Work Day is ________．
[　　]
A．	on every Thursday in April
B．	a holiday for girls of all ages
C．	a day for girls to know about jobs
D．	a day for girls to get a job easily

(3)

On this special day, Cara has done all the following EXCEPT that ________．
[　　]
A．	she learned to use scales
B．	she worked as an actress
C．	she went to work with her aunt
D．	she used toothpicks and candy to build a bridge

(4)

What is probably the best title for the passage?
[　　]
A．	Cara Lang, a Fortunate Girl
B．	Take Our Daughters to Work Day
C．	Children’s Day and Work Day
D．	Ms．Foundation, an Organization for Women

答案：1．C;2．C;3．B;4．B;
解析：

(1)	细节题。依据文章第三段第一句话“Cara’s father is film director”可知她父亲是一位导演。
(2)	判断推理题。文章第二段中的“The Ms．Foundtion wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs．”说明推出这一活动的目的是让女孩们了解不同种类的工作。A项中的every与文章不符，B项中的all ages与文章不符，D项中的get a job与文中的find out about jobs不符。
(3)	细节题。A、C、D三项的内容都出现在文章第三段，B项错在Cara随父亲去电影院是去了解这一行的工作情况，而不是去做演员。
(4)	主旨题。本文介绍了“Take Our Daughters to Work Day”的起源、目的，并通过Cara为例介绍了女孩子们在这个节日做的事情。文章一直围绕节日展开，所以应该选B项。

　　Some people do not like anything to be out of place, they are never late for work; they return their books to the library on time; they remember people's birthday and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr Dodds is such a person.

　　Mianzi(literally “face”)has long been observed by most Chinese．As a famous saying goes, “Men live for face as trees grow for bark．”

　　In a recent survey conducted by China Youth Daily, over 93 percent of the polled(接受测试的)people(1150)said they pay much attention to their mianzi, which concerns people’s decency, personality, and dignity．

　　When asked what the most humiliating(不光彩的)thing is, a heavy number accounting for 74.9 percent of the total chose public gaffes(失态)with the failed fulfillment of one’s promise coming in as second．More than a half of the people feel ashamed of being shown as ignorant before others．A total 47.5 percent of the polled considered it a loss of face to have no enough money on them when treating friends out to a dinner．

　　What would enhance one’s face then? In a ranking on this question, the survey revealed that doing what others cannot do topped the list, taking up a high proportion of 83.7 percent．Following at the second, with 53.9 percent, was being praised in public．Being outstandingly knowledgeable was third on the list for sharpening one’s mianzi, accounting for 51.7 percent．

　　According to the survey, face usually comes at a price．To pay or not to pay, it’s a problem．Deeply troubled with the face concept, many “fight” each other for the chance to foot the bill despite a barren pocket．Some 80.7 percent of those taking the poll thought it a tough life to always hold the face concept．Surprisingly, only 8.7 percent of the polled insisted that it tarnish(损害)a man’s authority and face in a family where the wife is the major breadwinner．

　　Armed to the teeth with the luxury name brand clothes, a limited 7.7 percent among all the polled prefer pricey cloths in order to gain more face．

　　Taking the social status into consideration, 82.9 percent of the polled nod at the opinion that those holding a superior position care far more than the general public about face．In another comparison, the manual labors pay less attention to face than brainworkers．The survey also revealed that men focus more on face than women and the senior more than the young．

　　While most people hold a neutral viewpoint about those who value mianzi a lot, nearly 80 percent of all the polled are willing to make friends with them．
