as a shop assistant.when you took my bag, i dont know what you thought you were going to get. with my wages, theres not much left on a tuesday. i hope the 5 was useful to you . i have informed the social security office so you wont be able to cash the child benefit next week. i hope that wont leave you too short. but if you really need a couple of pounds, i suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book. of course, i phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it wont be much use to you. actually i dont mind about the money too much. we single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. however, i dont suppose it went very far among the three of you. sorry about that!i wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. there were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that i really need. i really think that was very inconsiderate of you. i mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?well, perhaps the bag will turn up. it wasnt even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. you probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. weve looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.im not really angry with you. i know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but i am sad at the loss of my personal things. i feel violated and helpless. the police were very icy, and they just shrugged their shoulders. “it happens all the time,” they told me. some small comfort, i suppose. but ive lost just a little more faith in human natureand as my young son said when i told him what had happened, “why? mummy, why us?” i couldnt answer that question. i wonder if you can.1. in writing paragraph 2, the writer wants to .a. describe the contents of the bag in detail.b. give some suggestions to the three thievesc. state

itself.c. the papers and notes in the bag.d. the check books in the bag.3. what can we conclude about the police?a. they think the case quite common.b. they show sympathy for the woman.c. they have doubts about human nature.d. they are unable to find the thieves.4. why does the author write the letter?a. to give the thieves a serious warning.b. to express her affection for her valuable bag.c. to

full-time job. the two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfillthe duties of a full-time worker. if they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50per cent of the jobs wages, its holidays and its other benefits.job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.as would be expected, most job sharers are women. a survey carried out in 1988 by britains equal opportunities commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. subsequent studies have come up with similar results. many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.the necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. however, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. in sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.5. in what way is work sharing different from job sharing?a. work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.b. work sharing requires more working hours.c. work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.d. work sharing depends on the employers decision.6. according to paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time work mainly because _.a. they were over ideal working ages b. they sought higher social statusc. they had difficulty finding full-time jobs d. they had to take care of both work and family7. in job sharing the partners should _. a. enjoy equal social status b. have similar work experience c.know each other very well d. keep in touch with each other8. the main purpose of the passage is to _.a. discuss how to provide more jobs b. describe job sharing in generalc.recommend job sharing to women d. compare job sharing with work sharing 【参考答案】 58.abcb阅读理解-dhe felt faint again now but he held on the great fish all the strain that he could. i moved him, he thought. maybe this time i can get him over. pull, hands, he thought. hold up, legs. last for me, head. last for me. you never went. this time ill pull him over. but when he put all of his effort on, starting it well out before the fish came alongside and pulling with all his strength, the fish pulled part way over and then righted himself and swam away. “fish,” the old man said. “fish, you are going to have to die anyway. do you have to kill me too?” that way nothing is accomplished, he thought. his mouth was too dry to speak but he could not reach for the water now. i must get him alongside this time, he thought. i am not good for many more turns. yes, you are, he told himself. youre good for ever. on the next turn, he nearly had him. but again the fish righted himself and swam slowly away. you are killing me, fish, the old man thought. but you have a right to. never have i seen a greater, or more beautiful, or a calmer or more noble thing than you, brother. come on and kill me. i do not care who kills who. now you are getting confused in the head, he thought. you must keep your head clear. keep your head clear and know how to suffer like a man. or a fish, he thought. “clear up, head,” he said in a voice he could hardly hear. “clear up.” twice more it was the same on the turns. i do not know, the old man thought. he had been on the point of feeling himself go each time. i do not know. but i will try it once more. he tried it once more and he felt himself going when he turned the fish. the fish righted himself and swam off again slowly with the great tail weaving in the air. ill try it again, the old man promised, although his hands were mushy now and he could only see well in flashes. he tried it again and it was the same. so he thought, and he felt himself going before he started; i will try it once again. he took all his pain and what was left of his strength and his long gone pride and he put it against the fishs agony and the fish came over onto his side and swam gently on his side, his bill almost touching the planking of the skiff and started to pass the boat, long, deep, wide, silver and barred with purple and interminable in the water. the old man dropped the line and put his foot on it and lifted the harpoon as high as he could and drove it down with all his strength, and more strength he had just summoned, into the fishs side just behind the great chest fin that rose high in the air to the altitude of the mans chest. he felt the iron go in and he leaned on it and drove it further and then pushed all his weight after it. then the fish came alive, with his death in him, and rose high out of the water showing all his great length and width and all his power and his beauty. he seemed to hang in the air above the old man in the skiff. then he fell into the water with a crash that sent spray over the old man and over all of the skiff. 12. in what way did the old man make it? a. by keeping his head clear up. b. by
