C
After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can’t understand why answer to the
question, “What do you do?” is always, “Oh, I’m just a housewife.” JUST a housewife?” Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and cleanup, keeping the house clean, attending PTA meetings, leading a scout troop, playing taxi driver to us kids when it’s time for school, musical lessons or the dentist, doing volunteer work for her community is not just a housewife. She’s the real Wonder Woman.
Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second．class or something similar? Where has this notion come from? Have we males made them feel this way? Has our society made“going to work” outside the home seem more important than what a housewife must face each day? I would be every curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike．Dishes would pie up．Food in the house would run out．There would be no learn clothes when needed．Walking and bus riding would increase．
I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over．Oh，he would probably start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job，but how long would that last? Not 1ong, once he had to come home each night after work to more housework. There would be no coming home to a prepared meal; The kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, after clearing out all the dog hairs from the bathtub. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to craw（爬）into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper.
64．What does the writer’s mother NOT do according to the first paragraph?
A．Cooking.            B．Tidying the house.
C．Driving a taxi.         D．Some unpaid work.
65．The underlined word “notion” in the second paragraph can be replaced by the word        .
A．mother     B．citizen      C．similarity D．thought
66．We can learn from the second paragraph        .
A．mothers are actually great women B．our society looks down upon housewives
C．housewives should go on a strike    D．doing housework is not important at all
67．The possible main idea of the third paragraph is        .
A．men should share housework with their wives
B．attitude is not the only thing needed to do a job well
C．kids are the most challenging part of the housework
D．men are unlikely to handle the work of a housewife

“How did you do it, Dad? How have you managed not to take a drink for almost 20 years?” It
took a man almost 20 years to have the courage to ask my father this very personal question. When Dad first quit drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles every time he got into a situation that, in the past, would have started him drinking again. For a few years we were afraid to bring it up for fear the drinking would begin again.
“I had this little poem that I would recite to myself at least four to five times a day,” was Dad’s reply to my 18-year-old unasked question. “The words were an instant relief and constant reminder to me that things were never so tough that I could not handle them,” Dad said. And then he shared the poem with me. The poem’s simple, yet the words are meaningful.
About a month after this talk with my father, I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily words of wisdom listed for each day of the year. It has been my experience that when you get something with days of the year on it, you naturally turn to the page that lists your own birthday.
I hurriedly opened the book to November 10 to see what words of wisdom this book had in store for me. Tears of disbelief and appreciation rolled down my face. There, on my birthday, was the exact same poem that had helped my father for all these years! It went like this: God, give me the Serenity（平静） to accept the things I cannot change; the Courage to change the things I can; and the Wisdom to know the difference.
68．The underlined expression “on pins and needles” in the first paragraph means      .
A．upset B．pleased     C．nervous    D．surprised
69．Dad would review the poem several times a day        .
A．to share the poem with the families       B．to practice reciting the poem
C．to prevent himself from drinking again D．to remind himself that poems are useful
70．When the author saw the same poem in the book, he felt          .
A．regretful   B．thankful    C．hopeful     D．painful
71．The author bust into tears because       .
A．his friends gave him a special gift B．the poem was full of wisdom
C．his father had read the same book   D．his father quit drinking for his son

Each year there is an increasing number of cars as millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution.
One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.
To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not come easily ---- many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.
Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem..

For Americans, a mosquito bite is an itchy(使人发痒的) bother, but for many in Africa, a tiny bite can be deadly. One million people die each year of malaria, a disease spread by infected mosquitoes. Most of these people live in Africa, and are under age 5.
Malaria can be prevented and treated. However, many African nations don’t have the funds to fight it. Nothing but Nets (NBN) hopes to change that. The United Nations Foundation created the campaign in 2006. The mission: Squash(压制) malaria by covering sleeping areas with nets. Hanging bed nets treated with insecticide(***虫剂) is

the simplest way to stop mosquitoes from biting at night. The chemical lasts four to five years. For $10, anyone can send a net to Africa and help save a life.
So far, NBN has raised $19 million and delivered 700,000 nets to seven countries. Families are taught how to use the nets. Kids also get vaccines(疫苗) and vitamins. “Women line up for miles to get these interventions(干预措施) for their kids,” says NBN director Elizabeth McKee Gore. “They understand the importance.” So do kids in this country. “They get so excited thinking of ways to raise money,” says NBN spokesperson and basketball star Ruth Riley.
NBN’s biggest fund-raiser is Katherine Commale, 7. She’s been spreading thebuzz(嗡嗡声) about bed nets for the past two years. To show how they work, she and her brother made a picture. “We teach that bed nets

can save lives,” she told TFK.
Katherine has raised $42,000 for NBN. “She just wants those who need a net to have one,” says her mom, Lynda. “It’s pretty simple to her.” To find out how you can help, visit nothingbutnets.net.
