Reading comprehensionPassage 1Equal pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that are looked down upon by society. They say it is for women to be paid less than men for the same work.People who hold the opposite opinion （mainly men） have an answer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women；a married man is expected to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision，and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working at all. When wives go out to work，they say，the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job，they will be unable to do the things. Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to give up their present position in society.This is exactly what they want to give up，the women who disagree say. They want to escape from the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between a job and home life，or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equal opportunities.These women have expressed their opinions forcefully by using the famous saying， “All men are created equal.” They point out that the meaning of this sentence is “all human being are created equal.”1. The women use the phrase “equal pay for equal work” to demand that _.A. womans work shouldnt be harder than mensB. men should be paid less than womenC. people doing harder work should earn moreD. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same work2.What exactly do the women who disagree want to give up？A. Their job B. Their home life C. Their right to pay D. Their present position in society3.People who disagree with womens opinions believe _.A. women cant do what men canB. men can earn money more easily than womenC. mens responsibilities are different from womensD. men have to work much harder than women4. The women use the saying “all men created equal”to show that _.A. the position of women has changed a little in modern timeB. in American society men and women should in modern timeC. mens right are always considered more important than womensD. men and women had equal power in early American society5.The women who disagree say that _.A. if women are given equal pay，their opportunities will be greaterB. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homesC. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they liveD. women need opportunities to go out of the house more often.Passage 2 Recently, in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-to-door salesman. I once heard a saying: “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they dont, you may be treated as cold as winter. You may consider this an exaggeration, but if you are a salesman, it is definitely correct.” You would never have found it to be so true if you havent been a salesman. You neednt endure doubtful looks and unfriendly comments, you neednt listen to something absolutely wrong and nod to say that it is quite right; you neednt worry about being refused time after time; you neednt always maintain patience and a smile; you neednt repeat the same sentences over and over again; you neednt talk to somebody you dislike I did this work for a month, then I decided to quit. Apart from the reasons above, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting worse. Even worse, I hadnt enough time to join my classmates in college activities. Sometimes I felt lonely and under strong pressure and burden from both my study and my part-time job. Now I think it isnt worth doing such a thing, for even though I was earning money it came at great cost. Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about excellent students who do part-time work while also maintaining high scores in class. But according to my experience, part-time work can have very strong negative influences on study. Most students dont view the relationship between study and work correctly. In my opinion, if it isnt a must for financial reasons, students should be cautious about undertaking part-time jobs.1.The main idea of the article is _ .A.part-time job is an exciting experienceB.its not an easy job to be a salesmanC.you can earn some money by doing part-time jobD.part-time job can have negative influences2.The writer decided to give up his part-time job mainly because _ .A.he hadnt enough time to join his classmates in playB.the money he earned was too littleC.it was hard for him to make a balance between study and workD.he lost the patience to persuade people to buy his goods3.If you want to be a successful salesman, you have to _ .A.talk to people you dont like at allB.repeat what other people sayC.listen to some true commentsD.learn how to cheat people4.The italicized word “cautious” in the last line means _ .A. honest B. careful C. patient D. sure5.Which of the following is not true?A.The authors grades were getting worse due to his part-time job.B.From the article we can see that the author is not a good student.C.The author did his part-time job for a month.D.The author thinks that he can get social experience by doing part-time work.Passage3Valencia is in the east part of Spain.
