Readers share their opinions and youre welcome to add yours.Catherine (China)I love being a stay-at-home mom. In the beginning it was truly rough for me from being a workaholic to staying at home. Yet, I did not want my child to face growing up with both parents at work. So after discussing it with my husband, we decided that I would be the one to stay at home. Now, our daughter is soon to be 3 years old, and has an amazing personality. Its not for everyone but it is very rewarding in the long term.Sassy(Canada)Taking care of children is a temporary job, and children will grow up and leave. The longer women are out of the workplace, the harder it is to enter it. Women need to realize and accept that you do not want to be dependent on anyone for basic food, clothes and shelter. It has been hard to work and take care of my kids but I make it work.Cynthia (US)Some days I think we shouldnt give up on our careers. And some days Im jealous of the moms who get to stay home or at least work part time. Im the only one that supports the family, so there will never be an alternative for me. I have the career and title Ive always wanted but now I cant help but think its at the expense of precious time with my family.Celina (US)Being a stay-at-home mom isnt always easy, but it is worth it! Being there with my children means they are getting the exact love and care I want them to have. We do not have a lot of money, but weve sacrificed to make it possible. 21. What can we learn about Catherine?A. She stayed at home because she was tired about her job.B. Her husband agreed with her staying at home.C. Her daughter was very naughty.D. She accustomed herself to staying at home easily.22. How many working moms in this passage?A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 423. Which one is NOT true?A. Celina feels dissatisfied with the life now.B. Cynthia has no other choice but to get a job.C. Sassy is determined to be an independent woman.D. Catherine thinks that being a stay-at-home mom is worthwhile.BWhen receiving a pair of adult homing pigeons, the new owner cannot set them free as they will return to their original home loft(鸽房). If birds are received as babies, they must be kept in the loft for a period of time until they are oriented(以为方向) with their new home.After about two to three months the loft doors can be opened. Never force the young birds out of the loft as they frighten easily. They will connect this bad experience with their home loft and this is something that the owner does not want the birds to experience.Unless the birds are simply being raised for enjoyment and the owner likes seeing them fly around the immediate area and return, the next step is unnecessary. If the birds are being raised for racing purposes or the owner is interested in testing their homing ability, then he or she will do the following. Gently place the young birds in a cage and then drive down the road a few miles from home. The best time of day is before 9AM and not when there is rain, fog or high wind as these conditions will affect the birds ability to return home. Set the birds free somewhere not close to a heavily wooded area, then drive home. Do this daily for about fifty days, and then take one day off with no training. Increase the distance each week gradually by a few miles until the birds reach a distance of about fifty miles. Most of the birds will return home but expect some unexpected deaths if there are game hunters in the area. You can time the birds by keeping track of how long it takes them to return home.In some European countries such as England, it is a regular pastime and clubs have developed around the spot with specially designed cages on wheels that are attached to vehicles to transport groups of birds.24. Why shouldnt a new owner set adult homing pigeons free?A. They will fly away.B. They are frightened.C. They cannot live alone.D. They cannot find their home.25. What does “this bad experience” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. The owner leaving homeB. The owner frightening the birdsC. The birds being kept in the loft.D. The birds being hurt by the owner.26. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. What pigeons can be used for.B. Where pigeons should be trained.C. How pigeons get their homing ability. D. How to train pigeons to find their home.CScientists have discovered chains of genetic code linked to short sight, the most common eye disorder in the world. The findings throw light on what goes wrong to make distant objects look unclear, and raises the possibility of developing drugs to prevent the condition. Understanding the biological malfunctions (运作失常) behind short-sightedness could help researchers develop eye drops or tablets that could be given to children to stop their vision from failing as they get older.Short-sightedness usually starts to appear early on in life.The extent to which genes are to blame varies, but for those with the worst vision, around 80% of the condition is caused by genetic factors.Two separate studies, published in Nature Genetics journal, found variations (变异) in DNA that were more common in people with short sight. Chris Hammond, at Kings College, London, found one section of DNA on chromosome (染色体) 15 was more common in people with myopia. Caroline Klaver at Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam found another chain, also on chromosome 15, linked to short sight.The variations in DNA mean misspellings in the genetic code. These change the activity of three genes that control the growth of the eyeball and ensure light entering the eye is transformed into electrical pulses in the retina (视网膜).The discovery helps scientists piece together how a healthy eye becomes short-sighted and points the way to medicines to prevent it in children.“My hope is that we can identify a pathway that we can block with eyedrops or tablets that will stop the eye growing too much and without interfering with normal brain development or other processes in the body,” Hammond told the Guardian.Treating short sight in adults is a much tougher job, as their eyeballs have already grown too long.Children who have genes for short sight wont have poor eyesight. In 2008, Kathryn Rose at the University of Sydney looked at rates of short sightedness in Chinese schoolchildren living in Singapore and Sydney. Some 29% living in Singapore had short sight, compared with only 3% in Sydney. One possible explanation is that those living in Sydney spent more time outdoors, and so got more natural sunlight and were used to focusing on more distant objects.27. The underlined “myopia” in Paragraph 6 most probably means _.A. disorder genetic factors B. poor eyesight C. variation in DNA D. healthy eyes28. Who will most probably profit from the discovery by Hammond?A. Children with poor eyesight.B. Children with little outdoor activities.C. Adults with poor eyesight.D. Adults with little outdoor activities.29. Kathryn Roses research was mentioned in the last paragraph to show _.A. people in Singapore dont enjoy outdoor sportsB. genes for short sight will certainly cause poor eyesightC. more time outdoors means less chance of poor eyesightD. living in Singapore means more chance of poor eyesight30. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. The causes of short sight found.B. Eyedrops or tablets to cure short sight.C. Genetic code linked to short sight found.D. The most effective way to treat short sight.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项（A、B、C、D、E、F、G）中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to deal with your homework?Write it down. _31_.
