And paying someone else to do the chores(家务活) which take the average housewife 71 hours a week would cost €349.At over €18,000 a year that’s more than the earnings of 70 percent of the population, including train drivers, firemen, prison officers, and social worker. Looking after a baby less than a year old takes a housewife into a even higher pay league. According to a study, she earns €457 a week – at nearly €24,000 a year, the same as teachers, engineers, and chemists.Researchers put a price on each chore, then tried to find out how long the average person takes doing them. They found housewives spend an average 70.7 hours a week on housework –with looking after the children (17.9hours) and cooking and cleaning (12.9 hours each) the most time-consuming(费时).A wife with a part-time job still works an average of 59 hours a week at home. Those in full-time employment put in longer hours at home than in the workplace. The good news is that these hours sharply as children get older. While the average mother with child under one puts in 90 hours weekly, the figure drops to 80 hours from one to four and to 66 hours from five to ten. Mother-of-four Karen Williams from London said, “Paying the housewives may not be practical, but the government should recognize the value of housework, perhaps through the tax. Running a house takes a lot of time and most husb ands don’t understand this. For example, my husband only puts a shelf up now and again. He never cleans the kitchen –that’s the real test.”54. Who earns most according to the text?A. A social worker.B. A fireman.C. A gardener.D. A teacher.55. We learn from the text that looking after children ______.A. takes more time than doing any other houseworkB. means more duties than being a teacherC. requires the mother to be well-educatedD. prevents the mother from working outside56. By mentioning her husband, Karen Williams wants to show that ______.A. housework is no easy jobB. her husband has no time to clean the kitchenC. a housewife needs to be paid for cleaningD. the kitchen is hard to cleanBA quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.“We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too.Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.57.Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.B. Because her parents used to quarrel.C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.58.The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means ________.A. embarrassmentB. faintC. tirednessD. sadness59. The best title for this passage is ________.A. Family relations.B. The reasons why we get sick.C. Happy family makes you healthy.D. A research about teenagers’ health.B卷（共65分）（注：此部分题的答案要写在答题卷上，否则无效）V信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）下面60-64题是关于一个企业管理者在关键时刻要做出抉择的种种情形。
