Like many poor Jew

10、ish families in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts, and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as “Girlie”.During the Depression my grandmother was pulled out of Morris Hig

11、h School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boys edocation was the familys hope to move up the financial and social ladder. Education for

12、 girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the familys income, and culturally, since boys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a “proper home?!” Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher insisted that her parents p

13、ut her back into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U.C Berkeley.After college, “Girlie” worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at Davids Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, Davids had to hire four people to replace her. Years later,

14、when my grandfathers paint business was struggling, she jumped in and looked some of the hard steps he was reluctant to take, helping to save the family from financial ruin. She displayed her business ability again in her forties. After being diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer, she beat it and then d

15、evoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches. Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy. I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than my grandmother.When my grandmother had children of her ownmy mother and her two brothersshe em

16、phasized education for all of them. My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania. When she graduated in 1965 with a degree in French literature, she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women: teaching or nursing. She chose teaching. She began a Ph. Dprogra

17、mme, got married, and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wifes help to support their family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labour stood.Even though I gre

18、w up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me. My sister, and my brother, all three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My brother and sister joined sports t

19、eams, but I was the kid who got picked last in gym. Despite my athletic shortcomings, I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987, my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on ac

20、ademics. I dont remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students. I also dont remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children. My friends and I assumed that we would have both. Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes,

21、 activities, and job interviews. Just two generations removed from my grandmother, the playing field seemed to be level.But more than twenty years after my college graduation, the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would. Almost all of my male classmates work in professional setti

22、ngs. Some of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home, and just as many are stay-at-home mothers and volunteers like my mom. This mirrors the national trend. In comparison to their male counterparts (相同能力者), highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workf

28、ys. The donkeys worked hard every day. They had no time to play or to relax, but they never felt appreciated for the work they did.One day two donkeys got bored. They wanted to live a comfortable life, so the donkeys went to see a wise old man. They told him their problem. The wise old man agreed th

29、ey worked too hard, and he wanted to help the donkeys. “I have an idea,” he said.“What is your idea?” asked the donkeys.“I will paint you and no one will know you are donkeys,” said the man.The man went off to find some paint and he returned in just a matter of minutes. He had two pots of paints. On

30、e pot was filled with white paint, and the other black paint.The old man first painted them white, and then painted stripes (斑纹) over the white paint. When he finished, the donkeys did not look like donkeys at all. “You no longer look like donkeys,” the old man said. “Everyone will be fooled. I will

31、 call you something else, zebras.”The zebras went to a field to eat grass. Now they did not have to work.Soon, other donkeys saw the zebras. They asked the zebras where they came from. When the zebras told the donkeys their secret, the donkeys all rushed to see the old man.“Please make us into zebra

32、s, too,” they pleaded. So the wise old man painted more donkeys. As he did, more and more donkeys came.The old man could not paint fast enough. Soon the donkeys became impatient. They began to kick about, and they knocked over the paint pots.There was no more paint. The painted donkeys ran off to be

33、come zebras. The unpainted donkeys, because of their impatience, had to return to work.1、The two donkeys went to see a wise old man in order to _.Aask him for help Bbecome patientCchange into zebras Dhave a short rest2、What does the underlined word “pleaded” (in Paragraph 9) mean?Arelaxed BknockedCb

The study found that children who

36、 gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in th

37、e first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.“Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circu

38、mference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high o

39、n verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal

40、(产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastf

41、eeding in the first week of their babies life,” Dr. Smithers said.“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of that feeding.”1、The study mainly shows that _Ahead circumference is certainly connected to I

42、Q.Bbabies heads grow quickly during the first month.Cfull-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies. (早产儿)Dthe more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have.2、How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?ABy asking questions.BBy making compariso

43、n.CBy having a discussion.DBy referring to documents.3、According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that _Aa kids verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six.Bthis study helps parents find feeding problems.Cquick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQ.Dthis study reminds parents of th

44、e need for breastfeeding.4、The study differs from previous ones that _Ait associates early postnatal diet with IQ.Bit pays attention to the IQ of newly-born babies.Cit emphasizes the significance of successful feeding.Dit first focuses on the relation between IQ and weight gain in the first month of

45、 life.24（8分）Last year, when our three-year-old great-granddaughter Kylie was taken to see Santa Claus, she made sure to give him her wish list of toys. A week later, she ran into a different Santa in a mall. He stopped to ask what she wanted for Christmas. Kylie was surprised and let him know: “If y

47、it,” he said. It saddened me to think that maybe my son no longer believed in Santa, and we drove the rest of the way in silence. At the mall, we spotted another Santa greeting young believers. Suddenly, Mike took off toward him. Turning back to me, he shouted. “Now, theres the real Santa!”Michael E

Argentina and India saw increases of more than 50%.Allan Goodman, president of the Institute of International Education, said that a range of factors contributed to the trend, from growing awareness of globalization afte

55、r the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, to programs such as former President Bushs National Security Language Initiative, which trains soldiers, intelligence officers and diplomats in foreign languages. “What Americans are doing is waking up and discovering theres a world out there,” he said.

56、Other figures showed the flow of students in the opposite direction, from foreign countries into American universities. The institute found that international enrollment (入学) in American higher education remained steady at about 565,000. The figures are of keen interest to universities, which depend

57、 on foreign students for teaching and research help, and to policy-makers, who consider it important, as future foreign leaders may be familiar with the United States.
