propose to you Was it romantic I felt very sweet in heart when thinking of my husband s proposal To be honest his proposal was actually not romantic without flowers diamond ring and any other surprise It was even could not be called marriage proposal One day he gave me a book about Ireland and later he asked me whether I had finished the book Seeing me nod my head he felt very pleased and said to me in a low but happy voice If you like we can get married in an Irish way My heart was totally convinced by the romantic and sacred law of marriage in Ireland The book told me that Ireland believes in Catholicism and forbad divorce Therefore when a couple gets married they are supposed to choose the time of their marriage which ranges from 1 year to 100 years The most impressive of this law of marriage lies in the inverse relationship between the time of marriage and the fees to be charged If you choose 1 year for your marriage you shall pay as much as 2 000 sterling pounds plus receiving a dictionary thick reference of rights and responsibilities But if you choose 100 years then you only need to pay 0 5 pound for the fees and receive a short but heart touching note in all women s eyes I have no idea the clear rights and responsibilities for my left hand to my right hand my right leg to my left leg and my left eye to my right eye Actually they are an integrated whole and live by each other and cheer for each other Finally I would like this pink note to convey my best wishes to your one hundred year marriage I still remember I said to my husband Ok so sir please choose the time you expect our marriage to last He said happily I would definitely choose 100 years because it is highly money saving Although we are not bound by the law of marriage in Ireland we have cherished our vow to discipline ourselves all the time We have married like Irish people and look on our marriage as a life long commitment and spare no effort to nourish it hand in hand as we are gradually aging together 56 The underlined word proposal in the first paragraph probably means A making a planB offering a suggestion C asking someone to get marriedD asking someone to get divorced 57 What impresses the writer most is A marriage in IrelandB the time of marriage and the fees C a book about IrelandD law of marriage in Scotland 58 According to the law of marriage in Ireland A the time of marriage depends on the religion B 100 years of marriage means a thick book of rights and responsibilities C law of marriage is romantic and sacred 6 D the longer you are married the less you pay 59 We can infer from the passage that A the writer and her husband are not protected by the law of marriage in Ireland B the writer and her husband get divorced eventually C the writer and her husband are living together happily D the writer is not happy because her husband is mean with money B B Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think They may let you surf the Internet listen to music and snap photos wherever you are but they also turn you into a workaholic it seems A study suggests that by giving you access to emails at all times the all singing all dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails or making work calls Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours Nearly two thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night Ghadi Hobeika marketing director of Pixmania said The ability to access literally millions of apps keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people However there are drawbacks Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day seven days a week and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work The more constantly in contact we become the more is expected of us in a work capacity 60 The text is probably taken from A a scientific reportB a financial reportC a newspaperD a literary journal 61 How is Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly developed A By analyzing causes B By providing statistics C By giving descriptions D By making comparisons 62 Ghadi may agree that A employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a day B the ability to access many apps made smartphones worthless C smartphones might turn a person into a workaholic D people literally cannot get away from work without smartphones 63 What is the main idea of this passage A How smartphones are adding two hours to our working day B How smartphones are becoming invaluable for many people C Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average D Smartphones are beneficial to our life as we think C C A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children I was shocked I mean a whole minute Every day Get real Once a week maybe The fact is many Asian males are terrible at kid related things In fact I am one of them 7 Child rearing doesn t come naturally to guys My mother knew the names of our teachers best friends and crushes My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of capers and a bay leaf Then he d buy beer My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees My mother served kid food to kids My dad added chili sauce to everything including our baby food The truth is mother have superpowers My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as Mummy kiss it better and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds Yes mothers are incredible people but they are not always right Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99 99 percent of the time Here are some famous slip ups The mother of Bill Gates If you re going to drop out of college and hang out with your nerdy friends don t come running to me when you

some examples you may not have heard about Pearl High School in Mississippi Sullivan Central High School in Tennessee Appalachian School of Law in Virginia There s a reason that you never heard much about the places on the second list The number of innocent people killed was much smaller sometimes none In each of them the active shooter or potential shooter was confronted by an armed defender who happened to be at the scene when the attack began the bad guy wasn t able to just keep his deadly business Sometimes the hero was an armed school guard Sometimes it was an off duty police officer Or a passer by with a concealed carry permit At Pearl High School it was the vice principal who had a gun in his car that stopped more killings The experience of armed resistance shows the value of NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre s call for armed security guards in every school And 8 LaPierre was really just suggesting an expanded version of President Clinton s 1999 proposal for federal financial support for school safety officers However the Clinton plan and the NRA s is too timid What we need is more good guys with guns and right now For schools Utah provides a model In Utah if a
