a. more than 29,000 ,000 people.b. about 30% of the total population. c. over 45% of the total population.d. less than 30% of the french-canadians.22. which of the following stands for canada?a b c d23. which of the following is true according to this passage? a. the canadian flag is twice as wide as its length. b. most indians are now forced to live along the coast. c. nowadays inuits still have difficult living conditions.d. nobody existed when the europeans began to arrive in canada. bthe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. during the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a womans life spent in caring for children. a woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, four or five of whom lived till they were five years old. by the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. today women marry older and have fewer children. usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. even while she has to take care of children, her work is lightened by modem living conditions.this important change in womens life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school however, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age , and though women usually marry older, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.24. at what age did most women marry around the year 1890 according to the passage? a. at about twenty-five. b. in their early fifties.c. at the age of fifteen.d. at any age from fifteen to forty-five.25. what happened to an ordinary family in about 1900?a. the youngest child could live to fifteen. b. four or five children died after they were five.c. seven or eight children lived to be more than five. d. some children died when they were very young.26. when she was over fifty, a late nineteenth-century mother .a. was usually expected to die fairly soon b. would expect to work until she diedc. would be healthy enough to take up paid jobsd. was less likely to find a job even if she wanted to27. what do we know from the passage?a. husbands and wives share equal responsibilities at home.b. more and more women are looked down upon by husbands.c. today women prefer to get married rather than get jobs. d. a husband plays a greater part in looking after the children. cfeeling sad ? then hit the shops. it really works! buying something makes people happier. this is the news that will strike fear into the hearts of those who pay off the family credit cards every month.new research has found that retail therapy (购物疗法)cab be an “effective way to minimize sadness ”. it can even help a person feel more in control of their environment, researcher claim .generation of consumers have been urged to satisfy their desire to keep up with the latest fashion by simply browsing(逛) in stores and doing window shopping. but researchers from the university of michigan say “retail therapy” should no longer be dismissed as it could help people overcome melancholy.the researchers carried out three experiments to investigate whether shopping restored a sense of control in people to combat feelings of sadness. the research found that buying something was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control and they were three times happier than those who only browsed.previous studies have shown that shoppers enjoy positive feelings when reflecting on their most recent purchase, when that shopping had been motivated by a desire to repair mood. however, the researchers said until now it had remained unclear whether shopping conveys benefits beyond distraction(分心),or the passage of time.“retail therapy is often said to be ineffective, wasteful and a dark side of consumer behavior, but we propose that retail therapy has been viewed too negatively,” the researchers say.28. what has been newly discovered about retail therapy?a. it makes people four times happier.b. it helps people minimize sadness effectively.c. it satisfies peoples desire to follow fashion.d. it gives people a sense of satisfaction in their life.29. the underlined word “melancholy” in paragraph 3 probably refers to a feeling of_. a. despair b. sadness c. sympathy d. delight30. what benefit of shopping has been clear to the researchers?a. killing time b. fear to pay off credit cardsc. concentration of mind d. motivation to rest31. what may the researchers from the university of michigan agree with?a. retail therapy should be dismissed.b. retail therapy produces negative feelings.c. retail therapy is a waste of time and money.d. retail therapy should be viewed more positively.das we know, there are differences between western culture and chinese culture. we can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. lets look at the words about animals and plants. most expressions in chinese about the dog, for example,“a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative meanings. but in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. in english, people use the dog to describe positive actions. for example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. and “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. to describe a persons serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. the word “dog-tired” means very tired. however, chinese love cats very much. but in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel. there are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.the rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both china and some western countries. people think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. and the rose is the national flower of england, america and many other countries. the words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. we can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.32. “every dog has its day.” means “ ”.a. everybody in the world is lucky. b. each person lives his own way of life.c. everybody has a time in life to be lucky. d. if one works hard, hes sure to succeed.33. western people usually use “cat” to refer to “ ”.a. an unkind woman b. a brave manc. a homeless person d. a tired person34. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. chinese people prefer dogs to cats. b. words show differences in culture. c. western people think cats to be good friends. d. rose is the national flower of all western countries.35. whats the best title for the passage?
