阅读理解。     You"re rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a
study of by-standers, it was found that some people avert their gaze and keep on walking rather than stop
and get involved.
     "There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed. " says a psychologist. "The first thoughts that
pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against
them. " Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping. 
     ● Why should I be the one? I"m probably not the most competent (有能力的) person in this crowd. You
might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. 
     ● What if he doesn"t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk
looking foolish in front of others. 
     ● No one else looks concerned-this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most
people tend to hold back their emotions in public.
     "If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation
instead of walking on," says the psychologist. "Then retry to involve other people; you don"t have to take on
the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it"s just a matter of turning to the person next to you and
saying, "It looks like we should do something. " Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not,
to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you." 1. Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others? A. I"m not the very person capable of settling the problem.
B. It looks like we should do something.
C. It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.
D. He doesn"t really need my help. 2. According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk? A. They will call for help and then walk away.
B. They will stop and offer help.
C. They will turn away their eyes and goon walking.
D. They will laugh at him. 3. We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble, _____. A. we should call the ambulance as soon as we can
B. we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone
C. we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow
D. we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility4. In order to offer others your timely help, you need to _____. A. ask others for help and call the police
B. get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble
C. go directly to the police station
D. work against the first thoughts that prevent you offering help 5. The main purpose of the text is to tell readers _____.  A. to give others a hand
B. to be more competent
C. not to risk looking foolish
D. to stop and evaluate the situation

阅读理解。     After years of trying to balance work with motherhood, Karl Smith left her corporate (公司的) job behind
to start her own business.
     It"s been over a decade since this mom entrepreneur (企业家) began making cakes out of her family"s
kitchen. In that time, she has managed to grow Magical Moments & Elite Party Rentals into a well-developed
wedding planning and rental operation. Statistics show that these kinds of mommy-owned businesses are on
the rise. Many women say they can"t find work that allows them to balance their responsibilities at home.
     Indeed, according to a national study conducted by Ipsos-Reid on behalf of Microsoft Canada, fifty-four
percent of female small business owners agree that being able to work at home to raise their family was a key
reason to leave the corporate world behind.
     "Being a mom entrepreneur means trading a typical 9-to-5 work week in for a more irregular routine," says
Gemma Moore, a busy mother of two who owns and operates MG Moore Designs, a design company
specializing in website, photography and print media. "Finding a business that you can build in the evenings will
allow you to spend time with your children during the day and continue your business after they go to school."
     Ninety-two percent of female small business owners say that mobile equipment and computer software can
help a mom entrepreneur make her own hours and work whenever she is most productive. In fact, ninety-five
percent agree that small business owners need to be more technology-savvy than ever before. The more
technology they master, the more successfully they will run their businesses.
     "Balance is a key aspect for most entrepreneurs, but this is especially true for women," says Ruth Bastedo,
President, Women Entrepreneurs of Canada (WEC). "Entrepreneurs recognize that today"s technology can help
them to find work/life balance while still providing them with the tools and materials they need to grow their
businesses more effectively. 1. Many female employees left their corporate jobs in order to _____. A. master more and more technology
B. support their families in a better way

B. spend less money on technology
C. have a better knowledge of technology
D. find better balance in technical field4. The passage mainly tells us that _____. A. most women can hardly find suitable work

Reading comprehension.     In America it is common for children as young as four to participate in organized activities. Piano and
ballet lessons, scouts meetings, soccer and softball practices surround their normal school schedules.
However, one person is very important in the logistics of how these children are able to get from swimming
practice to French lessons: The Soccer Mom.
     The Soccer Mom is a very important stereotype in American suburban life. The phrase Soccer Mom was
first created in 1995 and broadly refers to a married middle-class woman who lives in the suburbs, works
outside the home and has school age children. Much of her time is spent managing her children"s schedules
and transporting them to sporting events and other activities. The image of the Soccer Mom conjures a busy
woman who drives a minivan large enough to contain her children, their friends and their sporting equipment.
Once they arrive at the sporting event or other activity, the Soccer Mom will stay to watch, serving granola
bars and juice to their children after their game or activity is finished.
     In America, the roles of mother and of career woman demand opposite responsibilities from a woman.
The role of a career woman is to work hard and climb the corporate ladder, while the role of mother often
asks women to put her family"s interests ahead of her own. The Soccer Mom attempts to straddle this divide,
at once balancing her children and their activities with her own life outside her family. The Soccer Mom
becomes overburdened with the weight of responsibilities A 1999 poll states that being stressed out is one of
the most frequently mentioned characteristics of a Soccer Mona. Yet without Soccer Moms, who would fill
the responsibilities of getting children to where they needed to be? 1. The best title for this passage is "_____". A. The Hectic Lifestyle of Suburban Children
B. The American Family
C. Minivans the Realm of the Soccer Mom
D. Soccer Moms in American Society 2. The main role of Soccer Moms is _____. A. transporting their children
B. buying things for their children
C. pushing their children to achieve
D. a successful career 3. Why are American mothers stressed out?  A. Because they are very career centered.
B. Because they work and have children.
C. Because they push their children to achieve.
D. Because their husbands are lazy. 4. What is a frequently mentioned characteristic of Soccer Moms? A. Overburdened.
B. Works outside the home.
C. Has young children.
D. Brings juice to soccer games. 5. What does "Climbing the corporate ladder" mean? A. Working.
B. Having a career as a woman.
C. Advancing your career.
D. Working in a ladder factory.
