And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother.Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. He is obviously looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife?I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent, support myself, and if needed, support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school, I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to keep track of the childrens doctor. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who will wash the childrens clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who takes care of the children when they are sick, a wife who arranges to be around when the children need special care, because, of course, I cannot miss classes at school. My wife must arrange to lose time at work and not lose the job. It may mean a small cut in my wifes income from time to time, but I guess I can tolerate that. Needless to say, my wife will arrange and pay for the care of the children while my wife is working.I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. I want a wife who will keep my clothes cleaned, ironed, mended, replaced and needed, and who cooks the meals, does the necessary grocery shopping, prepares the meals, serves them pleasantly, and then does the cleaning up while I do my studying. I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school.I want a wife who will take care of the details of my social life. When my wife and I are invited out by my friends, I want a wife who will take care of the babysitting arrangements. When I meet people at school that I like and want to entertain, I want a wife who will have the house cleaned and prepare a special meal and serve it to me and my friends and will not interrupt when I talk about the things that interest me and my friends.If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as wife than the wife I already have, I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life: My wife will take the children and be only responsible for them so that I am left free.When I am through with school and have a job, I want my wife to stop working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully and completely take care of a wifes duties.My God, who wouldnt want a wife?56The writer is a _.AstudentBmanCwomanDhousewife57The article is written in a(n) _ tone.Aironic and humorousBserious and pleasantCapproving and objectiveDpersuasive and aggressive58What is implied but NOT stated?AThe writer really approves of the present situation of the wives position at home.BThe writer expresses the dissatisfaction with a wifes position at home and speaks for all the wives.CThe writer thinks a wife should indeed do everything for the children and the husband at home but nothing else.DIt is wrong for some of the husbands not to share the duties at home and women should be respected in every aspect.59Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?AA Wifes DutiesBOld Wife Is Gone and New Wife ComesCWife Is Better Than HusbandDI Want a WifeBHaving taken a room at the hotel at which he had been instructed to stay. Smallwood went out; it was a lovely day, early in August, and the sun shone in an unclouded sky. He had not been to Lucerne since he was a boy, but remembered a covered bridge, though not clearly, a great stone lion and a church in which he had sat, bored yet impressed while they played an organ (风琴); and now wandering along a shady quay (码头) he tried not so much to find his way about a half-forgotten scene as to reform in his mind some recollection (回忆) of the shy and eager boy, so impatient for life, who so long ago had wandered there. But it seemed to him that the most lively of his memories was not of himself, but of the crowd; he seemed to remember the sun and the heat and the people; the train was crowded and so was the hotel, the lake steamers were packed and on the quays and in the streets you found your way among the holiday-makers. They were fat and old and ugly and strange.Now, in wartime, Lucerne was as deserted as it must have been before the world discovered that Switzerland was the play-ground of Europe. Most of the hotels were closed, the streets were empty, the boats for hire rocked idly at the waters edge and there was none to take them, and in the avenue by the lake the only persons to be seen were serious Swiss taking their dogs for their daily walk. Smallwood felt happy and, sitting down on a bench that faced the water, surrendered (听任) himself to the sensation. The blue water, snowy mountains, and their beauty hit you in the face. So long, at all event（无论如何） , as the fine weather lasted he was prepared to enjoy himself. He didnt see why he should not at least try to combine pleasure to himself with advantage to his country.60. Smallwood went to Lucerne _.A. to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the areaB. to finish a special taskC. to visit his friend thereD. to get in touch with the shy and eager boy61. He felt that the city _.A. was more crowded than it used to be B. had changed out of all recognitionC. had been ruined by becoming a holiday resortD. was quieter than he remembered it62. He was prepared to enjoy himself as long as _.A. he was serving his country B. he was making a profitB. the cosy weather continued like this D. he could stay in Lucerne63. After reading the passage, we can draw a conclusion that _.A. Smallwoods former visit to Lucerne was made in peacetimeB. Smallwood was pleased by the sound of the organ this timeC. Smallwood was very nervous when he got to LucerneD. A war would soon break out in Lucerne CThe U.S. Department of Labor statistics show that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that arent there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen.These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating (灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesnt matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.64. Its implied but not stated in the passage that _.A. many other countries are facing the same problem.B. White-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workers.C. Fewer students will prefer to go to college in the future.D. The law of supply and demand has a strong effect on American higher education65. Which of the following is NOT a reason why college enrollments go up every year?A. Many people believ
