[2017·山西省高三年级四校联考]
Research suggests that if a woman runs her household without any help, she has less interest in scaling the career ladder.
But the reason for this is not quite what you might expect, such as being too tired. According to experts, the satisfaction of being in charge of daytoday domestic tasks leaves mothers with less of a thirst for success at work. If she were indeed to “have it all”—a family life, a love life and a career —she would need to be prepared to carve up some of the home decisions with her spouse, a study suggests.
The study asked 136 men and women aged 18 to 30 whether being in control of household decisions is something they desire. Both sexes agreed that being in charge is an advantage. Then, 150 women were asked to imagine being a married mother and either making most of the household decisions or making them jointly with her husband. Those who had imagined being in control at home placed less value on things such as earning a high salary than those who had imagined sharing the running of the household.
Then, almost 650 men and women were asked to imagine one of the same two scenes but with division of household chores. The men's interest in work was not affected by thoughts of being in charge at home. And if a woman imagined having to do all the chores, without making the decisions at home, she was still hungry for power in the workplace.
Researcher Professor Serena Chen said，“This suggests it is the power aspect of household control that reduces women's interest in power outside of the home. To realise true gender equality in both private and public fields, our results suggest women may need to at least partially give up the role of household directors and men must share such decisionmaking.”
1．What could be learned from the text?
A. Women are fond of doing household tasks.
B. Women have no interest in the office work.
C.
Women can do well at home or beyond if they share household decisions with men.
D. Women can do well at home as well as in the workplace.
2．What leaves women with less of a thirst for a successful career?
A. Pressure from household tasks.
B. Lack of working experience.
C. Poor physical and mental state.
D. Satisfaction of being in charge of household tasks.
3．Professor Serena Chen suggested that ________.
A. it was hard to realize true gender equality
B. men must work as household directors
C. men and women should share household decisions
D. women should be as wise as men
4．Who would be most interested in the text?
A. Researchers. B. Breadwinners.
C. Employers.
D. Working mothers.
[文章大意] 女性如果想在事业上有所建树，她们就得把管理家庭事务的权力放一放。
1．C。考查文意理解。从全文对研究内容和结果的论述可知，妻子想在事业上成功，她就得和丈夫共同决策家庭事务。第二段最后一句也有明确提示。
2．D。考查细节理解。从第二段中信息“the satisfaction of being in charge of daytoday domestic tasks leaves mothers with less of a thirst for success at work”可知，女性从掌管家庭事务中获得的满足感导致她们对成功事业的渴望减少。
3．C。考查细节理解。从最后一段中的“To realise true gender equality in both private and public fields, our results suggest women may need to at least partially give up the role of household directors and men must share such decisionmaking.”可知，Professor Serena Chen 认为夫妻应当分享家庭决策权。
4．D。考查推理判断。文章研究妇女怎样才能在事业上成功，因此对该文章最感兴趣的应该是职业妈妈，所以D项正确。

Today a humorous lecture was held at three o'clock in the afternoon in our school. A fireman was invited to give us a lecture on fire safety, which left a deep impression on us. We were also shocked at the fire accidents in the video, which told us the necessity of fire preventing.
After the fireman asked us some questions on what might cause a fire, few could answer them. So how to prevent the fire became what we cared about most. He suggested we change the aged gas pipe, install the fire alarm, and use safe power sockets.
Today's lecture does really help, which has aroused my safety awareness. I should do as the fireman told us in the future.
