chances as men in education, jobs and training. but its still unusual to find women doing dirty or heavy jobs. nikki henriques is a car maintenance engineer in london. she used to be a secretary. barty philips, a journalist with “the observer”, a sunday newspaper, asked her why she wanted to work with cars. “my first reason was independence(独立),” she said. “i also wanted to use my hands, and i like learning about how things work. many people prefer to have a woman repair their cars, too.” nikki didnt find it easy to become a car maintenance engineer. she went to a government skill centrea special sort of college where people can learn a new job for twenty weeks. “for ten weeks i was the only woman among four hundred men, and some of them were rude to me. it was also very tiringfrom 8 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, with only 30 minutes for lunch.” now nikki works free-lance, that is, shes self-employed, working for herself and not for a garage or a company. barty phillips also spoke to rose, who works as a general builder in sheffield, an industrial town in the north of england. like nikki, rose used to be a secretary. “i didnt enjoy it at all.” she said. “i wanted to do more practical work, and i wanted to be self-employed.” rose joined a womens building co-operative, and she learnt her job from other people and from experience. however, many of the women in her group have been specially trained. most of the jobs they do are improvements to buildings and general repairs. “people often say, oh, women arent strong enough, but i dont think strength is important.” said rose, “the important thing is to get used to doing a different sort of work.” rose would like more women to come into the building industry. “everything built at the moment is a product of mans world. if women become builders, they will be able to understand the production of their house and their towns.” 59. there are laws in britain to help women _. a. get higher pay than men b. enjoy more freedom than men c. do whatever they like to do d. have equal chances with men in education and work 60. the job of a car maintenance engineer is to _. a. make cars b. sell cars c. repair cars d. keep cars for others 61. according to rose, a woman wishing to be a general builder _. a. must be specially trained b. should be strong enough c. can learn her job either from others or by experience d. must get used to doing a different sort of work 62. the best title for this passage might be _. a. nikki henriques, a car maintenance engineer b. rose, a general builder in shefield c. women at work d. british women 参考答案 5962 dcdc 阅读理解-cthings you need to know about studying there study style since the 1950s, the netherlands has had courses in english especially for foreign students. students are expected to be critical of what they read and hear, and to be able of working independently. foreign students will soon notice that at dutch institutions for higher learning people are expected to do a lot of talking. the most common form of teaching is the seminar or working group, where a small group of students work under a teachers supervision to analyze（分析）a certain problem. on exams, they have to show that they know the material, and that they have formed well-founded opinions on the subject.accommodations（住宿） if you are in an exchange programme or an international course, it is quite possible that a room will be arranged for you. accept it immediately, or you will regret it later. thats because finding a place to live in a country as crowded as

singapore found.sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other poor health habits，said mark pereira of the university of minnesota，who led the study.“the high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin (胰岛素) in the body，which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth，” pereira said in a statement.writing in the journal cancer epidemiology，biomarkers & prevention，pereira and his colleagues said they followed 60,524 men and women in the singapore chinese health study for 14 years.over that time,140 of the volunteers
