at least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.i thought of a way to escape. i would explain that i needed my mothers permission to spend the nights. but as i called my mom, heather stood beside me to listen. she granted permission! then i would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. i didnt bring my own pajamas (睡衣)，so mrs. peters offered me heathers pajamas.as the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, i tried to stay awake. “do i need to go again?

history really seems to matter here. buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. for the mostly right-handed servants, having womens shirts button from the left would be easier. on the other hand, having mens shirts button from the right made sense, too. most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. is it interesting? actually, a standard, once set, resists change. at a time when all womens shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer womens shirts that buttoned from the right. after all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing mens shirts. ( ) 1. what is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry? a. it has been followed by the industry for over 400 years. b. it is different for mens clothing and womens. c. it woks better with men than with women. d. it fails to consider right-handed people. ( ) 2. what do we know about the rich men in the 17th century? a. they tended to wear clothes without buttons. b. they were interested in the historical matters. c. they were mostly dressed by servants. d. they drew their swords from the left. ( ) 3. womens clothes still button from the left today because.a. adopting mens style is improper for women b. manufacturers should follow standards c. modern women dress themselves d. customs are hard to change ( ) 4. the passage is mainly developed by. a. analyzing causes b. making comparisons c. examining differences d. following the time order 【语篇解读 语篇解读】本文由男女衣服的不同,分析产生这种不同的原因,并且告诉我们这种不同为 语篇解读 什么延续到现在.1. 答案 b 【解析】 细节理解题. what seems strange , however, is that the standard adopted for women 由 is the opposite of the one for men.可知男女衣服的标准不一样令人惊奇.所以答案选 b 项. 2. 答案 d 【解析】 细节理解题. 根据文中 most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hang would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.可判断选 d 项. 3. 答案 d 【解析】细节理解题.根据actually, a standard , once set, resists change.可知,习惯一旦 养成,就很难改变是女式衣服的纽扣仍然在左边的原因.由此判断选 d 项. 4. 答案 a 【解析】组织结构题.通观整篇文章可以看出,作在开始提到一个现象男女衣服的标准 相反,然后分析这种现象产生的历史原因,最后告诉我们现在这是这样的原因.由此判断选 a 项. 阅读理解。fear plays no part in this latest problem“im not afraid ill lose my childreni wont lose my children. we live together, and nothing, nothing,” she repeats, her voice rising when speaking to johns lawyer, “will stop me from being with my children. a law? year, right. dont disturb me when it comes to my children. you are never going to win. if john wants to see them, i cannot stop him. hes their fatheri want them to see him! however, his visit in his present condition will disturb the childrens stable (稳定的) life” john, who has spent much of his time in california recently, has only hired a house for himself in pennsylvania, according to his lawyer. if hed like to stick to a regular life, id be more than happy to do that， jane says. the best thing for any child of a divorced (离婚的) parent is a stable life. i want nothing more than for him to set up a stable life for himself, so that he can be part of making our childrens lives more stable. while matters of money and care wont be settled for weeks, jane hardly puts her life on hold. last week the abc network announced that jane would return with her own show, twist of jane, in which she gives advice to other momsjane and her eight children will also return to abc in a series of jane plus 8 specials showing them on various adventuresits a rest for janewho insists that she needs her new，busy life to provide for her family“i have to lead such a lifeand im thankful that ive built it to the top where now i can support my children”she says and whether a bellicose(好斗的)dance judge or a bellicose former wife，jane plans to keep 0n facing attacks on her “some people try to knock me downonly to make me more fierce，more protective，more determined to do better，”she says“go ahead，take me onthis will just make me stronger”( ) 1. according to jane in the first paragraph，the low a. cant take her children away from herb. cant do anything with the casec. will best settle the problemd. will disturb her children( ) 2. what does “to do that
