  Ben

  When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “that's that! No more learning for me. Now I can enjoy myself in the evening.” But about a year ago the boss said, “We're going to get a computer in the near future.” What does he mean? I simply don't know. Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes. I'm quite an expert on computers now and, you know, I actually enjoy studying.

  Evn

  I haven't much interest in studying. To be honest, I don't like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing. Just light reading, that is, to pass the time. But I do enjoy TV. Not that I watch everything. In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully. I'm particularly interested in current affairs. In some ways I think I learn more this way than I did at school.

  Ted

  I'm a very sort of person - I simply love doing things. That's why I enjoy sports so much. I mean, actually playing. I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it. I'm even interested in the history of sports. I don't have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing. Some people say I'm not very good at it, though.

  Joan

  I should say I have great interest in studying. I'd rather do this than anything e1se. Since I left school, I've taken courses in all sorts of things. I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it's more fun that way. My latest “craze(狂热)” - if you can call it that - is foreign languages. I'm learning two, not one!

1.These four people are talking about what they do ________.

[  ]

A.in their free time

  Betty and Harold have been married for years.But one thing still puzzles (困扰) old Harold.How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, go out to a ball game, come back and a half hours later, and they are still on the sofa, talking?

  What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?

  Betty shrugs.Talk? We're friends.

  Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men.No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men,, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendship is marked and unmistakable.

  More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend.Those who could were likely to name a woman.Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman.More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机).“Most women,” says Rubin, “identified (认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.

  In general, writes Rubin in her new book, women's friendship with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men's relationships are emotionally controlled a good fit with the social requirements of manly behavior.

  “Even when a man is said to be a best friend,” Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings.” Whereas a woman's closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.

阅读理解:

  In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national clothing for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt. The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. That's why the men still wear kilts at traditional (传统的) dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.

  That's what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt; the kilt. That's how the first kilt was made.

  Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment ( = feelings) . The Scottish soldiers wanted to be different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find! The Scottish soldier fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of the fame, and in the early 1800s men all around Scotland began to wear kilts.

  These kilts had colorful stripes (条纹) going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the color they liked best.

  This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colors are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts!

1.This text is mainly about ________.

A.soldiers' clothes in Britain
B.the history of Scotland
C.a special kind of skirt
D.Scottish families

2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.The English soldiers were the first to wear kilts.

B.It was hard then to tell the Scottish soldiers from the English ones apart from the clothes.

C.Colors were specially designed in the first kilts.

D.The factory owner made the first kilt from long shirts to make his workers different from others.

3.Scottish soldiers were dressed in kilts partly because of ________.

A.the colors
B.the weather
C.national sentiment
D.the design

4.The colors of the kilts are ________.

[  ]

A.not part of the Scottish family history

B.older than the Scottish family history

C.for the Campbell family only

D.mainly green, yellow and blue

5.From the last paragraph we can infer that ________.

[  ]

A.the European people are full of strong feelings

B.there are no stories about kilts in Scotland today

C.the British like to do things on feelings, not on facts

D.the Scottish prefer to keep their tradition rather than believe the fact
