heated discussion: which is worthwhile,being a full time working or a stay-at-home mom? readers share their opinions and youre welcome to add yours.catherine(china) i love being a stay-at-home mom. in the beginning it was truly rough for me from being a workaholic(工作狂)to staying at home.yet,i did not want my child to face growing up with both parents at work.so after discussing it with my husband,we decided that i would be the one to stay at home.now, our daughter is soon to be 3 years old,and has an amazing personality. its not for everyone but it is very rewarding in the long term.sassy(canada) taking care of children is a temporary job,and children will grow up and leave.the longer women are out of the workplace,the harder it is to enter it.women need to realize and accept that you do not want to be dependent on anyone for basic food,clothes and shelter. it has been hard to work and take care of my kids but i make it work.cynthia(us) some days i think we shouldnt give up on our careers.and some days im jealous of the moms who get to stay home or at least work part time.im the only one that supports the family,so there will never be an option for me.i have the career and title ive always wanted but now i cant help but think its at the expense of precious time with my family.celina(us) being a stay-at-home mom isnt always easy,but it is worth it! being there with my children means they are getting the exact love and care i want them to have.we do not have a lot of money,but weve sacrificed to make it possible.1.what can we learn about catherine? a.she stayed at home because she was tired about her job. b.her husband agreed with her staying at home. c.her daughter was very naughty. d.she accustomed herself to staying at home easily.2.how many working moms in this passage? a.1 b.2 c.3 d.4 3.which one is not true？ a.celina feels dissatisfied with the life now. b.cynthia has no other choice but to get a job. c.sassy is determined to be an independent woman. d.catherine thinks that being a stay-at-home mom is worthwhile. b an indian barber has come up with a novel technique to give people haircuts using just a small comb and a burning candle instead of a pair of scissors.just like any barber, dasharath kumar,28, combs the hair and meticulously runs the flame of the candle on the ends,giving it a unique finish.thecutting-edge technique has made him the most demanded barber in his small village in gulbarga in karnataka in southern india.while dasharath joined his family business when he was 15,the unique idea only clicked him five years ago.he says: electricity cut was common in our village and we were used to working in dark.but one evening while i was cutting the hair of a customer, power went off and i had to use the light from a candle to finish the haircut. but the flames of the candle that night inspired me to think of using a new technique for trimming(修剪)hair. i had bunch of regular customers so when i told them about the experiment,they happily said they trusted me and my skills and gave a nod for the new technique.surprisingly, it came out very well.since then there was no looking back.started with only 20 pence,customers now happily pay him1 for his novel way of haircut.one of his daring customers yusuf khan,who waited for nearly two hours for his turn, said:every barber gives a haircut using scissors but the fun of getting a haircut with a candle flame is unbeatable.initially,i was not prepared for it but once i saw the magic of his hands, i never went back to a regular barber.”4.the best title for the passage is probably_. a. an amazing indian barber b. a latest cutting fashion c. a regular barbers future d. what made a good barber5.the underlined wordmeticulouslyprobably means_. a.casually b.carefully c.freely d.randomly6.when was dasharath inspired to trim hair with a burning candle? a.at the age of five. b.after his graduation. c.after a power failure. d.when its getting dark.7.what can we conclude from the text? a.no customers want to be back to dasharaths salon. b.dasharath charges more money than any other barber. c.a traditional barber cant make a living in the future. d.many people are attracted by dasharaths technique. c public transport is declining in the rich world.to those who have to squeeze onto the number 25 bus in london,or the a train in new york,the change might not be noticeable.but public transport is becoming less busy in those places,and passenger numbers are flat or falling in almost every american city.that is despite healthy growth in urban populations and employment.although transport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like roadworks and broken signals,it seems more likely that they are being outcompeted.app-based taxi services like uber and lyft are more comfortable and convenient than trains or buses.cycling is nicer than it was,and rental bikes are more widely available.cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run.online shopping,home working and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether.the competition is only likely to grow.more than one laboratory is developing new transport technologies and applications.silicon valley invented uber and,more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters(滑板车)and then abandon them on the pavement.china created sharing-bicycles and battery-powerede-bikes,both of which are spreading.transport agencies should accept the upstarts,and copy them.cities tend either to ignore app-based services or to try to push them off the streets.that is understandable, given the rules-are-for-losers attitude of firms like uber.but it is an error. it is doubtful that most people make hard distinctions between public and private transport.they just want to get somewhere,and there is a cost in time,money and comfort. an ideal system would let them move across a city for a single payment,transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed.building a platform to allow that is hard,and requires much sweet-talking of traditional networks as well as technology firms.it is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.8.what is the change in public transport in big cities? a.it is becoming busier. b.it is getting less popular. c.there are fewer traffic delays. d.there is more new transport.9.in the authors opinion,the reason for the decline of public transport is that_. a.there are roadworks and broken signals b.people are becoming healthier and employed c.cars and bikes are more and more available d.transport agencies are seemingly less competitive10.how does the author develop his idea in paragraph 3? a.by giving examples b.by providing research results c.by stating arguments d.by comparing different approaches11.according to the text,the key to keeping cities moving is_. a.to develop an ideal system that satisfies everyone b.to build a platform that appeals to transport agencies c.to provide people with more means of transportation d.to cater for both traditional networks and technology firmsdfor children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad outcomes-it is also about developing good ones.several studies have looked at the long-term effects eating with families has on children.experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a cause-and-effect relationship.however,they do suggest a strong tie. about three years ago,the organization for economic co-operation and development(oecd) looked at data from nearly three quarters of the worlds countries. among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with their families were less likely to skip school.children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to be badly-behaved.that is a finding of a study by the national center on addiction and substance abuse (casa) at columbia university in new york.in the casa report,titled “the importance of family dinners viii,researchers say,teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about whats really going on in their lives .they also claim that when teens say they feel closer to their parents,they are less likely to behave badly.another study from the university of montreal found that children who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits.these children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks.they also seemed to have better social skills.one researcher,linda pagani says that there isa handful of research suggesting a positive link between eating family meals together frequently and child and adolescent health.pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents likely provide young children with firsthand social interaction, discussions of social affairs and day-to-day concerns”.she adds that they may likely help the children have better communication skills with others.12.what does the underlined word theyrefer to?a.long-term effects b. studies c. experts d. families13.in which aspect can eating together influence children according to the oecd?a.academic performance. b. physical health. c. mental health d. social skills.14.how do children benefit from eating family meals together according to pagani?a.by having healthy food and drinks b. by forming good eating habits.c.by becoming more social. d. by understanding their parents life.15.what is mainly talked about in the passage?a.easy tips on eating family meals.b. benefits of family dinners to children.c.links between eating together and child health.d. findings of studies about enjoying family dinners.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
