Passage 1

In December, 2006, Xiao Kang (well-off life) magazine worked with some other Chinese organizations and experts to jointly conduct a survey on leisure situation in China.

By analyzing information from related national departments and information from society at large, researchers conclude that Chinese leisure index is 64.7. Statistics show that at present, Chinese people work for an average of 20.92 days, or 167.4 hours per month, and their total number of working hours in a year reaches 2,008.8 hours. If compared with the United States, Britain or Japan, it can be seen that Chinese peopl e’s leisure hours are relatively the same as people in those countries.

Over half of the people did not feel that their leisure time had decreased last year. In spite of this, people’s leisure time vary greatly among different social groups. For peopl e working in IT sectors, and people working in government organizations or foreign-funded enterprises, their leisure time is least among all social groups, with 80% of them complaining that work has taken away their leisure time. In general, Chinese people’s leisure time has increased. However, the leisure time of manual workers has increased while that of intellectuals, or mental workers, has decreased.

69% of the respondents say their expenditure on leisure activities has increased. Among people who earn an annual salary of 30,000-50,000 yuan, 50,000-100,000 yuan, and 100,000-200,000 yuan, the leisure expenditure accounts for 11%, 20-30%, and 30-40% of their annual income, respectively. So it is obvious that as people’s annual income increases, their leisure expenditure also increases. However, people’s leisure expenditure varies greatly between townsfolk and countryfolk.

The survey also shows that 77% of the people spend their leisure time sleeping, shopping, surfing on the Internet or watching t elevision. However, farmers’ leisure activities are rather boring. Apart from watching TV or chatting with friends, most farmers find their spare time hanging heavy on their hands.

1. Which is true about Chinese people’s leisure hours? （C）

A. Chinese people have less leisure time than people in developed countries.

B. Chinese people have more leisure time than people in developed countries.

C. Chinese people have about the same leisure time as people in developed countries.

D. The writer is not sure whether Chinese people have more or less leisure hours.

Passage 2

The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman who got married at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women get married at a younger age and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.

This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ag o most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they got married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to get married young, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more return afterwards to a full-time or part-time job. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.

6. We are told that in an average family about 1890____D____.

A. many children died before they were five

B. the youngest child would be fifteen years younger than the oldest

C. seven of eight children lived to be more than five

D. the child death rate was rather high
