I’ve been aware of this for some time but I’m not quite sure how to deal with it.Take the kitchen sink for example.Following a family get-together at my place, I walked into the kitchen to find Kate, my daughter carefully cleaning the sink（洗涤槽）. “Don’t do that; what are you doing that for?” I said, unhappy about the hidden criticism. “Mum,” she said, “you really ought to put your glasses on when you clean the sink. Behind the tap here was black!”But it’s n ot just things like kitchen sinks. Another time Kate arrived to pick me up to lunch. She looked at me and then asked, “Mum, why do you use brown eyebrow pencil when your hair isgrey?”A sudden memory of her, aged 14, going to her first mixed party flooded back. She had come in to say goodbye. For a moment I thought she’d been an accident. Both eyes were black. I remember suggesting that perhaps a little less eye make-up might be more effective.Now I told her, “My hair used to be brown.”“It looks absurd.”“Mrs. Menzies had dark eyebrows with grey hair.”“Yes, but you’re not Mrs. Menzies, are you?” she said triumphantly, as if that proved her point.But a recent event made me realize that something really must be done.She had returned some for a few weeks before getting married. One evening I went out on a dinner date. By the time my companion left me at the front door, it was about 2am. As I stepped in, an angry figure in a white nightgown stopped me.“Well, what time of night is this to be coming home?” she shouted. “Where have you been? I’ve been worried sick!”Shades of the past come back to disturb me. But what should I do about all this? Nothing, probably. Maybe, after all, it’s only a stage young people are going through.63．The daughter thought her m other didn’t clean the kitchen sink well because of her . A．laziness B．carelessness C．unhappiness D．poor-quality glasses 64．From the passage we know the daughter .A．didn’t want to help with the sink B．didn’t like brown eyebrow pencilsC．had an accident when she went to her first partyD．shouted at her mum because she came home late65．How does the mother feel after all these havehappened?A．Shocked. B．Proud. C．Envious. D．Confused.66．The author writes the stories to prove that .A．their relationship became stronger B．their roles changed as time passedC．her daughter very much cared about her D．her daughter got upset as she grew upDWe are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speech—and you are rather terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheep up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.67. The main idea of this article is __________.A. that a poor speaker can never changeB. that you can improve your speaking abilityC. to always make a short speechD. that it is hard to make a speech68.

I like spending more time with my family and less time at work and getting paid for it,” said the mother of three.Hard Plastics is part of a growing number of US companies that are experimenting with the so-called “30/40” plan to replace the 40-hour working week.Unlike in Europe, where cutting the working week is seen as a way to reduce unemployment, US companies see the 30/40 program mainly as a tool to increase productivity.At the Hard Plastics plant, some 150 women employees work 6-hour daily for a 30-hour working week. And if they show up every day on time, they receive a 10-hour bonus for the week.“But if you’re even one minute late, sorry Charlie, no bonus,” sa id Ronald Richey, the company’s president.“We’re in a very low unemployment market here, 2.5 percent for the town—Whitley,” said Ronald Richey. “The idea was to draw more quality applicants.”With 30/40, the company, which employs 325 people at two plants in Indiana and has yearly sales of US $30 million, has greatly broadened its applicant pool. Some 40 people apply every week, among them many with long years of work experience or even college degrees.The idea was first put forward by industrial psychologist(心理学家) Ron Healey. He said more and more companies were expressing interest in his program and were even testing it.72. According to the text, what is the “30/40”program?A. An employee works 30 hours a week with40 hours’ pay.B. An employee works for 10 hours extra every week and gets paid.C. A woman employee with a family has the right to work 30 hours a week.D. A woman employee gets paid even if she stays at home during work hours.73. A “30/40 plan” is being tested in Hard Plastics with an aim to __________.A. let working women enjoy their family lifeB. improve employees’ working conditionsC. reduce unemployment in WhitleyD. raise the company’s productivity74. We can learn from the text that with 30/40, the company is able to __________.A. employ more women workersB. help the town in its effort to reduce unemploymentC. choose their employees from among many applicantsD. employ more college graduates75. What would be the best title for the text?A. Hard Plastics: a worke r’s paradise.B. US: shorter week produces more.C. 30/40 program: a better way to reduce unemployment.D.
