She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a ”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “Im a mother.”“We dont list mother as an occupation housewife covers it,” said the recorder. One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked. The words simply popped out. “Im a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair. I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. “Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesnt), in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerks voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out. As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (受鼓舞) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants-ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern. I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”MotherhoodWhat a glorious career! Especially when theres a title on the door. 41. What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?A. The recorder was impatient and rude. B. The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.C. The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced. D. Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society. 42. How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A. curious B. indifferent C. puzzled D. interested43. Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A. Because the author cared little about rewards. B. Because she thought the author did admirable work.C. Because she admired the authors research work in the lab. D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of. 44. What is the authors purpose of writing the passage?A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it. B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect. C. To show that the author had a greater job than Emily. D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.

Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree peoples memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change peoples memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.49. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of wiping out painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill50. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories51. We can infer from the passage that .A. experts are not sure about the effects of the pillsB. the pill will certainly stop peoples emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to peoples physical healthD. the pill has already been produced and used by the American public 52. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?A. Some memories can ruin peoples lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories. D No satisfactory way exists to explain how to form a good idea. You think about a problem until youre tired, forget it, maybe sleep on it, and then flash! When you arent thinking about it, suddenly the answer arrives as a gift from the gods. Of course, all ideas dont occur like that but so many do, particularly the most important ones. They burst into the mind, glowing with the heat of creation. How they do it is a mystery but they must come from somewhere. Lets assume they come from the unconscious. This is reasonable, for psychologists use this term to describe mental processes which are unknown to the individual. Creative thought depends on what was unknown becoming known. All of us have experienced this sudden arrival of a new idea, but it is easiest to examine it in the great creative personalities, many of whom experienced it in an intensified form and have written it down in their life stories and letters. One can draw examples from genius in any field, from religion, philosophy, and literature to art and music, even in mathematics, science, and technical invention, although these are often thought to depend only on logic and experiment. All truly creative activities depend in some degree on these signals from the unconscious, and the more highly insightful the person is, the sharper and more dramatic the signals become. A type of creative experience is illustrated by the dreams which came to Descartes at the age of twenty-three and determined his life path. Descartes had unsuccessfully searched for certainty, first in the world of books, and then in the world of men. Then in a dream on November 10, 1619, he made the significant discovery that he could only find certainty in his own thoughts, cogito ergo sum (I think; therefore, I exist). This dream filled him with intense religious enthusiasm. Descartes experience is representative of countless others in every field of culture. The unconscious is certainly the source of instinctive activity. But in creative thought the unconscious is responsible for the production of new organized forms from relatively disorganized elements.53. Good ideas come from _according to the writer. A. the unconsciousB. creative activities C. dreamsD. logic and experiments54. The underlined word “these” (paragraph 3) probably refers to _. A. philosophy, music, mathematics and scienceB. religion, philosophy, literature, art and musicC. mathematics, science, and technical invention D. both B and C 55. What point can we see in the example of Descartes ?A. Dreams are the sources of instinctive activities. B. Dreams sometimes contribute to important discoveries.C. Geniuses have creative thoughts in their dreams. D. Important discoveries are always made in dreams. 56. The best title for this passage may be _. A. The Unknown Becoming Known B. The Role of DreamsC. The Unconscious and Creative ActivitiesD. Birth of Bright IdeasEAs the price of a college degree continues to rise, theres growing evidence that the monetary（货币的） payoff isnt quite as big as often advertised. The best estimate now is that a college degree is worth about $300,000 in todays dollars-nowhere near the million figure that is often quoted. That million number has driven me crazy! says Sandy Baum, a Skidmore economist who studied the value of a college degree for the College Board last year. Baums research showed that college graduates earn, on average, about $20,000 a year more than those who finished their educations at high school. Add that up over a 40-year working life and the total differential is about $800,000, she figures. But since much of that bonus is earned many years from now, taking away the impact of inflation means that$800,000 in future doll
