Unless阅读理解A“Hey, Dad，” one of my kids asked the other day, “what was your favorite fast food when you were growing up？”“We didn't have fast food when I was growing up，” I informed him. “All the food was sl ow.”“Come on, seriously. Where did you eat？”“It was a place called ‘home’” I explained.“Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dining table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I liked it.”By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table. But here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it：I was 13 before I tasted my first pizza. It was called “pizza pie”. When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, and plastered itself against my chin. It's still the best pizza I ever had.Pizzas were not delivered to our home. But milk was. Bread and rolls came from the Omar man. All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers.I delivered a newspaper, six days a week even when the snow was 18 inches deep. It cost 7 cents a paper, of which I got to keep 2 cents, I had to get up at 4：00 a．m. every morning. On Saturdays, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers.If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren. Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?1. Hearing what the author said, his child probably thought ________.A. he was lucky to have fast foodB. it was unbelievable to live without fast foodC. how happy his own life wasD. his father was joking with him2. When he used to have meals with the adults, the author ________.A. had to watch his table mannersB. could choose what he likedC. was not given much freedomD. had to eat everything offered to him3. What do we know about the first pizza the author had?A. It left a good memory on him.B. The author didn't like it at all.C. It was too poorly made.D. He didn't know how to eat it.4. Why did the author talk about his experience of delivering newspapers?A. To show that his family used to be quite poor.B. To show that children before had to make a living by themselves.C. To show that he had gained a lot from the experience.D. To show that growing experience was quite different before.5. What's the author's attitude towards today's children?A. He thinks they are spoiled.B. He thinks they are too obsessed with fast food.C. He thinks they should go through some hardship.D. He doesn't give his personal opinion.BThe stereotype (固有观念) of computer scientists as nerds who stay up all night coding and have no social life may be driving women away from the field, according to a new study published this month. This stereotype can be brought to mind based only on the appearance of the environment in a classroom or an office.“When people think of computer science the image that immediately pops into many of their minds is about the computer geek(怪人) surrounded by such things as computer games, science fiction and junk food，” said Sapna Cheryan, a university of Washington assistant professor of psychology and the study's lead author. “That stereotype doesn't appeal to many women who don't like the portrait of masculinity(男性化)．”Cheryan set up four experiments involving more than 250 female and male students who were not studying computer science to look at possible reasons why the proportion of women in the field is dropping while the proportion of women in such disciplines as biology, mathematics and chemistry is increasing.In the first experiment, students entered a small classroom that either contained objects stereotypically associated with computer science such as Star Trek posters, video game boxes and Coke cans, or non-stereotypical items such as nature posters, art, a dictionary and coffee cups. The students were told to ignore these objects because the room was being shared with another class. After spending several moments in the classroom, the students filled out questionnaires(调查问卷) that asked about their attitude toward computer science.Women exposed to the stereotypical setup expressed less interest in computer science than those who saw the non-stereotypical objects. Men placed in the same situations did not show a similar drop in interest in computer science. Cheryan said this study suggests that a student's choice of classes or a major can be influenced by the appearance of classrooms, halls and offices.6. The underlined word “nerds” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “________”．A. dull personsB. active personsC. intelligent personsD. funny persons7. Women are less likely to choose computer science because ________.A. it is too difficult for themB. they have wrong understanding of itC. the lifestyle of computer scientists turns them awayD. they don't like the social life of computer scientists8. A woman would probably lose interest in computer science when she sees a ________.A. Star Trek posterB. nature posterC. dictionaryD. coffee cup9. What can influence a woman's choice of classes, according to the passage?A. The contents of computer science.B. The space in the classroom.C. The number of students in the classroom.D. The classroom environment.10. According to the experiment, women are more likely to choose computer science if ________.A. it is made more lively and interestingB. they are exposed to the stereotypical setupC. they see the non-stereotypical objects in the classroomD. they are allowed to learn it without men参考答案1. 解析：选C。

Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbours for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between 40 and children. But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices. 41 , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbours working 42 and often shares in that work.A child 43 in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community's 44 ：helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies ---- rather than 45 playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets 46 playing with dolls.These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the 47 children.

Not all of these 21 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents. It was then 25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended 27 . However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 . In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back.

My belief began when I was just a kid. I dreamed of becoming a doctor.My mother was a domestic. Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to re ad two books each from the Detroit Public Library and submit to her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlig hts. Years later we realized her marks were a ruse. My mother was illiterate. Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I co uld go anywhere, do anything and be anybody.When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student, but I didn't care. I was getting the high fives and the low fives and the pats on the back. I was cool.One night my mother came home from working her multiple jobs and I complained about not having e nough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I' ll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With eve rything left over, you can have all the Italian knit shirts you wan t.”I was very pleased with that arrangement but once I got through allocating mon ey, there was nothing left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the tabl e, much less buy clothes. I also realized that immediate gratification wasn't going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I w ent back to my studies and became an A-student again, and eventually I fulfilled my dream and I became a doctor.Over the years my mother's steadfast faith in God has inspired me, particularly when I had to perform extremely difficult surgical procedures or wh en I found myself faced with my own medical scare. A few years ago I discovered I had a very aggressive form of prostate cancer; I was told it might have spread to my spine. My mother was steadfast in her faith in God. She never worried. She said that God was not through with me yet;there was no way that this was going to be a major problem. The abnormality in my spine turned out to be benign; I was able to have surgery and am cured.My story is really my mother's story—a woman with little formal education or worldly goods who used her position as a parent to change the live s of many people around the globe. There is no job more important than parenting. This I believe.父母是最好的老师简单地说，我对母亲深信不疑，这打我小时候就开始了，那时我的梦想是成为一名医生。
