　　One evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me. “What’s a colander (漏勺)?” he asked.

　　    I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody else helped me in the kitchen. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for.

　　   As parents, while we focus on our sons’ confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers. I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What’s for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home course. I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine.

　　    I knew that he would rather have been playing in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother----he tried to beg not to have sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive, but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do as a mom,” he told me one day. Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing good about being helpless.

　　    Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s what I call a man. I’m glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter-in-law.

　　Why was the author shocked at her son’s response?A.Because he was not well behaved.B.Because he refused to help with dinner.C.Because he was very curious about kitchen tools.D.Because he didn’t know the common kitchen tools.25.In the author’s opinion, some parents pay little attention to_______ .A.making children live a hard life.B.preparing children for their future lifeC.telling kids what is right and wrongD.building up children’s confidence26.After learning to do housework, Ray______ .A.fell in love with sewing.B.did other work in the house.C.acknowledged his mother’s efforts.D.began to be more hard-working.27.What would be the best title for the text?A.Useful education for boys.B.Boys should be involved in housework.C.The importance of housework.D.Cooking and sewing make boys manly.

　　C

　　Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure under control, research suggests. Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.

　　    The research, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs conic in contact with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors, but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.

　　    Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to work on an egg. They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.

　　    Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said, “The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs. The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat. They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods.”

　　    The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit long ago. However, almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.

　　28.From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are       .A.a kind of proteinB.a kind of foodC.a kind of medicineD.a kind of illness29.According to what Professor Bruce said, eggs       .A.are the most nutritious foodB.can be included in a healthy dietC.have no effect on blood cholesterolD.are forbidden to be eaten in the UK30.We can infer from the text that       .A.stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseasesB.drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggsC.most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be droppedD.about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health31.The text is meant       .A.to introduce a medicine made from eggsB.to introduce scientific findings about eggsC.to tell people how to lower their blood pressureD.to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible

　　Americans are worried about new technology. They are concerned that machines, ncluding robots, will take over work now done by humans. These findings come from a new report by the Pew Research Center of Washington DC.

　　    About 75 percent of Americans questioned by Pew said automation will increase income inequality between the rich and the middle class and the poor. And 64 percent of people expect automation to be so common in America that people will face difficulty finding things to do with their lives.

　　    Some of the concerns about technology come from a distrust about whether machines will always make the right decision. Many Americans believe humans have better judgment in dealing with complex matters. One example is selecting a person for a job. Three quarters of Americans said they would not want to apply for a job that uses a computer program to choose the most qualified person.

　　    Most Americans want the government to limit automation, For example, 87 percent support a requirement that all driverless vehicles have a human in the driver seat who can take control when needed. And 85 percent want to limit machines to mostly doing jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans. And only 25 percent expect more jobs to come from automation. Pew said,

　　    Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, spoke last May to graduating seniors from Harvard University in Massachusetts, His talk centered on the uncertain future facing young people. “Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks,” Zuckerberg told the graduates,

　　    Zuckerberg said young people will have to find projects that will bring both jobs and direct benefits to the people of the world. He said in his speech that 300,000 people worked to put a man on the moon, and millions of people built, the Hoover Dam as well as other great projects over the last 100 years.

　　32. What do Americans think of technology?A.Useful.B.EffectiveC.DangerousD.Undependable

　　33.Which of the following do the majority of Americans want the government to do?A.Use machines to do dangerous and harmful jobs.B.Increase job chances by introducing machinesC.Select a person for a job by computer.D.Get rid of all driverless vehicles.34.What did Zuckerberg encourage the students to do?A.Refuse self-driving vehicles.B.Create new job chances.C.Consider large projects.D.Fight against robots.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.New Technology Creates More JobsB.New Technology Makes New UnfairnessC.Americans Worry Machines Will Take JobsD.Robots Make Work Easy to Do for Workers.
