Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them .Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men. The American womens liberation movement was started by women who didnt want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay. A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as Im going to go, baby!”This movement is quite new, and many American women dont agree yet. But it has already made some important changes in womens lives-in mens lives, too. 1. “Behind every successful man there is a woman” (Para. 1,L.2) means_. A. men are always successful but not womenB. women are not willing to stand in front of menC. women do play an important part in mens lives and workD. women can be as successful as men2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Some American women want to work side by side with men and get the same pay for the same work.B. Most American women want to be more successful than men. C.

A. unwilling to work side by side with menB. working at easier jobs than menC. still going a long way to workD. willing to be less important than men as they used to 4. “Not nearly as far as Im going to go” (Para. 5, L.3) means_.

The American womens liberation movement _. A. still has a long way to go B. is a failureC. was started by many successful women D. is a new thing not accepted by the writerPassage TwoThe home computer industry has been growing rapidly in the United States for the last ten years. Computers used to be large, expensive machines that were very difficult to use. But scientists and technicians have been making them smaller and cheaper while at the same time they have been made easier to use. As a result, their popularity has been increasing as more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses. Computers have been designed to store information and compute problems that are difficult for human beings to work out. Some have voices that speak with the operator. Stores use computers to keep records of their inventories(库存货物) and to send bills to their customers. Offices use computers to copy letters, record business and keep in touch with other offices. People have been using computers in their homes to keep track of the money they spend. One important new use for computers is for entertainment. Many new games have been designed to be played on the computers. People of all ages have been playing these games. People also have been buying home computers to play computer games, watch movies and listen to concerts at home. They have become very popular indeed. 6. Computers used to _.

But people used to use to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money. Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too. The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver. But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today. Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today. 11. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services? A. To sell a bicycle for $20 B. To get some money for old books at a garage sale. C. To buy things you need or want D. To get paid for your work. 12.

Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place. C. Because people wanted to make it look nicer. D. Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from. 14. It can be inferred from the passage that the reason why even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive is _. A. that they are easy to steal B. that they are difficult for people to obtain C. that they are not easy to carry around D. that they themselves are expensive, too15. Which do you choose as the best title for this passage?A Money and Its Uses B Different Things Used as MoneyC. Different Countries, Different Money D The History of MoneyPassage FourThe word “sport” first meant something that people did in their spare time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today .People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be such sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can make a lot of money. For example, a football player in England earns more than 50 000 pounds in a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that. It is possible for middle class people to engage in sports like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the star can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say “Buy our things.” It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for peoples spare time. 16.The word “sport” now usually means _. A something done by sportsmen in their spare time B hunting wild animals and birds C organized games D school sports and games17. A professional sportsman is someone who _. A makes money in his spare time B play all the time C earns money by playing a sport D play for his country and the people18.
