In many homes, divorce is caused by the “battle between the sexes.” To understand the problem, one must remember that the modern American woman is freed. During childhood and adolescence(青少年期), the American girl is given freedom and education which is equal to a boy's. After completing school, she is able to get a job and support herself. She doesn't have to marry for financial security. She considers herself an independent, self-sufficient person. She wants a husband whom she can respect, but she doesn't want to be dominated(控制) by him. She wants a democratic household in which she has a voice in making decisions. When a husband and wife are able to share decisionmaking, their marriage is probably closer, stronger, and more satisfying. Otherwise, the couple is likely to wind up in the divorce court.

When a couple gets divorced, the court usually requires the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money. If the couple has children, they usually remain with the mother, and the father is expected to pay for their support.

Although divorce is quite common in the United States, 80 percent of those who get divorced remarry. The remarriages allow thousands of people, especially children, to enjoy family life again, but at the same time many troubles have arisen. A well-known American joke tells of a wife calling to her second husband, “Quick, John! Come here and help me! Your children are beating up our chidlren!”

What causes most of the divorce cases in the U.S.A.?

A.Financial trouble in the family.

B.Women's liberation movement.

C.Different attitudes towards children's education.

D.Lack of democratic atmosphere in the household.

What do you know of modern American women, according to the passage?

A.They are overbearing and hardworking.

B.They are more independent than ever.

D.They respect their husbands, but do not rely on them.

What kind of marriage can be successful?

A.Both the man and woman are financially secure.

B.Husband and wife share housework.

C.Both the man and woman are well-educated.

D.Decisions are made by the man and woman together.

What happens when a couple is divorced, according to the passage?

Chinese politeness have always been formal to follow strict rules, although sometimes Chinese people seem to be impolite according to Western standards in public places. To well understand Chinese, some concepts should not be ignored.
Mianzi
The idea of shame, usually expressed as 'face' could be loosely defined as the 'status' or 'self-respect' in Chinese and by no means alien to foreigners. It is the worst thing for a Chinese to lose face. Never insult, embarrass, shame, yell at or otherwise demean a person. Since all these actions would risk putting a Chinese in a situation that he might lose face, neither try to prove someone wrong nor shout at him in public. In order to get a successful effect without letting a Chinese lose face, any criticism should be delivered privately, carefully, or else, just opposite to what you wish.
Guanxi
Throughout much of Chinese history, the fundamental glue that has held society together is the concept of guanxi, relationships between people. It is very important for the Chinese to have good relationships. They often regard good social relations as a symbol of personal ability and influence. Someone who has no connections would be disrespected and is only half-Chinese.
Keqi
Keqi not only means considerate, polite, and well mannered, but also represents respect and modesty. It is impolite to talk too proudly about oneself or one's inner circle. The expression is most often used in the negative, as in buyao keqi, meaning "you shouldn't be so kind and polite to me," or "you're welcome."
Besides, Chinese seldom express what they think directly and they prefer a roundabout way. Neither show their emotions and feelings in public. They rarely greet people with a handshake, though it is very popular among foreigners, and say nothing of embracing or kissing when greeting or saying good-bye. Consequently, it is better not to behave too carefree in public, even though you are well-intentioned. Also, it is advisable to be fairly cautious in political discussions. Do not particularly push yourself forward, or else you are unwelcome.
To sum up, do in Rome as Rome does, but you need not worry about these cultural barriers since most Chinese are hospitable and friendly and will not mind your no accomplishment.
【小题1】In most Chinese’s eyes, the fundamental glue holding society together is the idea of ____.

A.relationships between peopleB.influences upon others
C.dependence on othersD.kindness to others
【小题2】The underlined word “demean” in the first paragraph means make people _____.
A.respectfulB.happyC.shamefulD.weak
【小题3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.It is impolite to insult, embarrass, shame or shout at a person.
B.It is polite that you should bring gifts to others when invited to dinner.
C.It is necessary to show your character of being considerate, polite, and well mannered.
D.It is important for the Chinese to have good relationships between people.
【小题4】 Which of the following proverbs has the same meaning as the underlined sentence “Do in Rome as Rome does.”?
A.Caution is the parent of safety.B.Many hands make light work.
C.There’s no smoke without fire.D.If you are elsewhere, live as they do there.

A small group of people around the world have started implanting(移植) microchips to link the body and the computer.

Mr. Donelson and three friends, who had driven 100 miles from their homes in Loekport, New York, to have the implants put in by Dr Jesse Willemaire, whom they had persuaded to do the work, are part of a small group, about 30 people around the world, who have independently put in microchips into their bodies, according to Web-based reports.

At a shop William Donelson was having a four-millimeter-wide needle put into his left hand. “I’m set,” he said with a deep breath. He watched as the needle pierced(刺穿) the fleshy webbing between his thumb and a microchip was set under his skin. At last he would be able to do what he had long imagined; strengthen his body’s powers through technology.

By putting the chip inside—a radio frequency identification device (RFID)—Mr. Donelson would have at his fingertips the same magic that makes safety gates open with a knock of a card, and bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass. With a wave of his hand he plans to connect with his computer, open doors and unlock his car.

Implanting the chip was relatively simple task but very meaningful to Mr. Doneselson, a 21-year-old computer networking student so interested in the link between technology and the body that he has data-input jacks(数据输入插空) inside his body. They might lead to an imagined future when people can be connected directly into computers. His new chip is enclosed in a glass container no bigger than a piece of rice and has a small memory where he has stored the words “Technology”.

Some doctors have done the piercing in people’s homes, and others have implanted chips in their offices after patients signed forms showing the fact that long-term studies have not been done on their safety. Piercers treat the implants much like any other medical operation steps, instructing people to keep the site dry, and advising them that swelling(肿) and redness should last a week.

69. With a RFID implanted, which of the following will Mr. Donelson be able to do?

Make a safety gate open with a knock of a card.

Make bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass.

Open doors and unlock his car with a wave of his hand.

Turn his body and brain directly into computers.

70. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to “___________”.

A. glass containers                             B. implanted computer chips

C. data input jacks                                    D. computer and net working students

71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. High Tech, Under the Skin                     B. A Needle, So Magic

C. Donelson, a Powerful Man                     D. Data-input Jacks, Inside the Body

72. We can conclude from the passage that __________________.

Mr. Donelson has made a large sum of money by the piercing.

the Piercers are people working in the computer field

the piercing has no side effect and it will make people intelligent

the long term effects of these implants are not yet known
