阅读理解。    "Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it"s a girl."
    Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man
who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering
whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had
considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with
them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For
other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or
unwillingly.
    Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is clear that the change from the role of husband to that
of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this
resocialization process. Although many books have been written about American mothers, only recently
has literature referred to the role of a father.
    It is argued by some writers that the transition (转化) to the father"s role, although difficult, is not
nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother"s role. The mother"s role seems to
require a complete transformation in daily life and highly innovative (革新性的) adaptation(适应). On
the other hand, the father"s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned
the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many
as the breadwinner in the family.1. According to the author, being a father ______.A. brings a feeling of excitement to some men
B. makes some men feel proud and others worried
C. has a different meaning for those who have daughters
D. means nothing but more responsibilities2. In the third paragraph, the author _______. A. criticizes (批评) fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children
B. excuses the American writers for ignoring the difficulties of being a father
C. supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the family
D. complains about the lack of social program to help husbands get used to the role of a father3. The transition to the mother"s role requires that the wife ______.A. change her life style in a highly innovative way
B. stay at home to take care of the baby
C. make a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation
D. help her husband in his resocialization process4. Some writers argue that with respect of (关于) the change of roles, fathers, compared
    with mothers, _______.A. have an easier job to do
B. have to make more difficult adaptation
C. have to shoulder more responsibilities
D. can usually do a better job

     A parable(寓言)tells about a martial artist who kneels (跪) before a master in a ceremony to receive the Black Belt, which is hard to earn. After years of 1 , the student has finally reached a height of achievement
in the discipline.
     "Before gaining the belt, you must 2 one more test," the coach seriously tells the young man.
     "I"m ready," responds the student, 3   perhaps one more round of boxing.
     "You must answer the   4   question: what is the true meaning of the Black Belt?"
     "Why, the end of my journey," says the student. "A well-deserved 5 for my hard work."
     The master waits for more. 6 , he is not satisfied. The coach finally speaks, "You are not ready for the
Black Belt. 7 in one year."
    As the student 8   before his master a year later, he is again asked the question, "What is the true 9 of
the Black Belt?"
     "It is a symbol of honor and the highest achievement in our art." The young man responds.
     Again the master waits for more. Still 10 , he says once more, "You are not ready for the Black Belt.
Return in one year."
     A year later the student kneels before his coach and 11 the question, "What is the true meaning of the
Black Belt?"
     This time he answers, "The Black Belt  12 not the end, but the beginning, the 13 of a never-ending
journey of discipline, work and the pursuit of an ever higher standard."
     "Yes," says the master. "You are now ready to 14 the Black Belt and begin your work."
     You may not be 15 for a Black Belt, but you might be at an important point. Maybe you"re facing a life
change, perhaps even a 16   one. Or maybe you are waiting for something you have worked hard to
achieve-graduation, a new job, a 17 , or even retirement.
     All wise people see that 18 can be new beginnings. Change need not be feared. And neither should
we be looking for a 19 resting place, for a full and happy life is always active.
     Does the change you face represent, not just an ending, but a new beginning in your life"s 20 ? If so,
you may be ready to move forward.

Two thirds of the single people looking for love in Britain turned to the Internet last year, according to figures made in public yesterday. Special sites offer introductions to people such as smokers, Roman Catholics, tall people, beautiful people, frequent flyers and vegetarians. Technology has brought about a great change in the dating (约会) games. A survey by Parsnip, a Britain branch of Europe"s largest dating service with more than 1.5 million members, says that 65 percent of the 5.4 million Britons looking for a relationship used online dating services last year. A spokeswoman for Relate, the relationship advisor, confirmed that a figure of two thirds feel it all right. "Doing it online allows people quite a lot of privacy, (隐私) because they can do a bit of quiet research and look around from the comfort of their own home. You don"t have to meet a matchmaker (媒人) or go to an actual dating agency office, which takes a lot of courage." She said. There are more than 100 independent online dating agencies in Britain. Parsnip says that 50 percent of single people believe they will meet a suitable partner through the Internet, from 35 percent six months ago. Mary Balfour, the founder, says that the Internet has changed the dating industry completely. "It"s like a return to old-fashioned love letters," she said." You don"t base your first judgment on how someone looks or what his or her figure is like. You e-mail or talk before you actually see each other. Everybody you know who is single these days has at least had a good look at a dating site, introduction agency or personal ads. They have to, because all the old matchmaking institutions have gone. People work harder, settle down later and live more isolated lives. They are much more likely to end the day with DVD and a glass of beer than by going to a meeting place.
1. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. British singles go online for love. B. British singles like going online. C. Going online for love is dangerous. D. New ways of dating in Britain.

3. According to the text, about ______ Britons dated Online last year.
A. 3.5 million B. 1.5million C. 2.7million D. 1.9million
4. From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A. old-fashioned love letters become popular again. B. online dating services are out of date C. half singles believe they can meet a suitable partner online D. online dating needs a lot of courage

A ban on smoking in public places has come into effect on May 1,2011 in China-home to one third of the world"s smokers. The ban is aimed at controlling the number of deaths from smoking-related diseases, running at a million deaths a year. That figure is predicted to double by 2020. The new smoking ban is an attempt to prevent that prediction coming true. The new rules forbid people from smoking in places like hotels, railway stations or theatres, but not including the office. Employers can warn their staff of the dangers of smoking but cannot forbid them from smoking at their desks. But the new rules have been criticized because they do not describe in detail the punishments for businesses or individuals who flout them. Quite many smokers do not seem to take much notice of them. Often you find people smoking at next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar. In bus stops as well as in railway stations smoking can also be seen here and there. Business owners are also angry at the efforts to force them to ban smoking on their premises (经营场所), because many customers refuse to go to restaurants or places of entertainment where smoking is forbidden. It appears that many Chinese people are unaware of the dangers of smoking. Research suggests that only one in four knows the harm cigarettes can cause. Officials say they have to try to persuade people not to smoke to try to reduce the numbers dying from smoking-related diseases. At the same time, however, the local governments make a lot of money from the sales of cigarettes by the state-owned firm that makes and sells tobacco products throughout the country.
1. From May 1, 2011, it is forbidden to smoke ______.
A. at the restaurant B. in the car C. in the office D. in any places
2. The number of deaths caused by smoking by 2020 will probably be _____.
A. one million a year B. two million a year C. three million a year D. four million a year
3. What does the underlined word "flout" in Para 4 mean?
A. be in favor of B. object to C. act against D. be unaware of
4. Why is it difficult for the ban to be carried out? ①Because the ban on smoking is not written into the law. ②Because there are no clear regulations about punishment. ③Because cigarette firms continue producing cigarettes. ④Because not so many Chinese know about the danger of smoking.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④

After an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time, particularly with the support of family and friends. Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, while others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family members. Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their schools. Children often turn to adults for information, comfort and help. Parents should try to remain calm, answer children"s questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children"s behavior. Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former experiences. Some will respond by withdrawing (不与人交往), while others will have angry outbursts (爆发). Parents should remain sensitive to each child"s reactions. Parents should spend time talking to their children, letting them know that it"s OK to ask questions and to share their worries. Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them. They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas. Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again. For young children, parents, after talking about the earthquake, might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down. Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them. They could play games outside or read together indoors. Most importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.
