For example, if in the past, someone in Dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closet. He really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it.”“Why pick on my family?” Jessicas father said with anger. “Your family history isnt so good. You know. Wasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked, I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessicas parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessicas closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessicas mother sank into a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.“What happened？Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the schools skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project, I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “Theyre both crazy,” she thought.51. According to Jessicas mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means _.A. a family honor B. a family secret C. a family story D. a family treasure52. What can we learn about some Australians ancestors from Paragraph 2?A. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.B. They were the earliest people living in AustraliaC. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.D. They were not regarded as criminals in their day.53. Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?A. she was curious about it B. she planned to keep it for fun.C. She needed it for her school task D. She intended to scare her patents54. Jessicas parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because_.A. they were crazy.B. they were overexcitedC. they realized their misunderstandingD. they both thought they had won the quarrelBJob sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 percent of the jobs wages, its holidays and its other benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional(传统的) part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.Job sharing should not be confused with the term(术语) work sharing， which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address(对付；应付) unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected， most of job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 2020 by Britains Equal Opportunities Commission revealed that 78 per cent of sharers were female， the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent(随后的;后来的) studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children， but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status(地位). Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure(确保) a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.55. In what way is work sharing is different from job sharing?A. Work sharing requires more working hours.B. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.C. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory (令人满意的) salary.D. Work sharing depends on the employers decision.56. According to paragraph 4, young mothers prefer job sharing to conventional part-time work mainly because _.A. they sought higher social statusB. they are over ideal working agesC. they had difficulty finding full-time jobsD. they had to take care of both work and family57. In job sharing the partners should _.A. enjoy equal social status B. have similar working experienceC. keep in touch with each other D. know each other very well58. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. recommend job sharing to womenB. discuss how to provide more jobsC. describe job sharing in generalD. compare job sharing with work sharingCWinners ClubYou choose to be a winner！The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.

After immigrating form England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howards name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howards idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howards idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.Garde
