Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them . Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the room.

confident as the majority . Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last and would eventually lead to the oppsite-depression.

night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to

Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and ,
fortunately,the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of
obergrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged
by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the
tree to grow in its own way.
First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size.
The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the
growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape.
Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseaed or dead
wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The

Classified advertising is that advertising which is grouped in certain sections of the paper and is thus distinguished from display advertising. Such groupings as “Help Wanted”, “Real Estate”, “Lost and Found” are
made, the rate charged being less than for display advertising. Classified advertisements are a convenience to the reader and a saving to the advertiser.
The reader who is interested in a particular kind of advertisement finds all
advertisements of that type grouped for him. The advertisers may, on this
account, use a very small advertisement if it were placed among larger advertisements in the paper. It is evident that the reader approaches the classified advertisement in a different frame of mind from that in which he approaches the other advertisements in the paper. He turns to a page of classified advertisements to search for the particular

Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with

"Gold possible. " Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, "This

Many people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindnenss. Yet,
dark glasses or not , they find themselves suffering from headaches and
watering eyes,and even snowblindness,when exposed to several hours of
snow light .
The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does
not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow-covered country.Rather, a man
s eyes frequently find nothing to foucs on in a broad expanse of barren
snow-covered terrain. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and
forth over the entire landscape in search of tsomething to look at. Finding
nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never sotp searching and the eyeballs
become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets this irritation by
producing more and fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid coversthe

A great ship asks for deep waters.以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的公共英语四级考试阅读专项训练及答案，希望能给大家带来帮助!
Few creations of big technology capture the imagination like
giant dams. Perhaps it is humankind’s long suffering at the
mercy of flood and drought that makes the idea of forcing the
waters to do our bidding so fascinating. But to be fascinated is
also, sometimes, to be blind. Several giant dam projects threaten
to do more harm than good.
The lesson from dams is that big is not always beautiful. It
doesn’t help that building a big, powerful dam has become a
symbol of achievement for nations and people striving to assert
themselves. Egypt’s leadership in the Arab world was cemented
by the Aswan High Dam. Turkey’s bid for First World status
includes the giant Ataturk Dam.
But big dams tend not to work as intended. The Aswan Dam,

下面是我整理的，希望对大家有帮助。
While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been
judged a great success in many states—at least in getting people
off welfare. Its estimated that more than 2 million people have left
the rolls since 1994.
In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens Country have been
cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past tow
years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens
County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent—twice
the national average.
For advocates (代言人) for the poor, thats an indication much more
needs to be done.

When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions
dating back to Grandma’s generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes
and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best.
But in many other homes, this china--and--silver elegance has given way to
stoneware (粗陶)--and--stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally
casual--Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and
comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times.
Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-onTrent, announced that
it is eliminating 1,000 jobs--one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more
than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region.
Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.

Passage 1
The endless debate about “work-life balance’’ often contains a hopeful footnote about stay-at-
home dads. If American society and business won5t make it easier on future female leaders who
choose to have children, there is still the ray of hope that increasing numbers of full-time fathers
will. But based on today’s socioeconomic trends, this hope is, unfortunately, misguided.
It’s true that the number of men who have left work to do their thing as full-time parents has
doubled in a decade, but ifs still very small： only 0. 8% of married couples where the
stay-at-home father was out of the labor force for a year. Even that percentage is likely inflated by
men thrust into their caretaker role by a downsizing. This is simply not a large enough group to
reduce the social stigma(污名)and force other adjustments necessary to supporting men in this
