When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan. “DINKS” wh ich means Double Income Kids（小孩）.In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $ 300 000（though prices have fallen）. For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $ 900 a month. What’s more, if they want to have a child, the child’s education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $ 5000 a year. In suc h a situation, it’s difficult to afford children.The number of married women who want to continue working increases quickly because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.56. What is the main problem being discussed in the passage?A. The small number of newborn babies.B. The changing social situation of women.C. The high prices of houses and education.D.

The prices of house in Asia are quite low now.C. Fewer and fewer married women want to have a job.D. The word “DINKS”appeared in an Asian country.58. To buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten, how much will a couple pay each year?A. $ 85,000B. $ 85,900C. $ 10,800D. $ 15,80059. The writer seems to believe that Asian governments should .A. let women stay at home and have a babyB. allow one of the parents to go out to workC. care for the growing needs of women for job.D. set up the companies that permit women to leave.BThe summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?First we had to read about ancient Egyptians（古埃及人）and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly（弯曲的）hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn’t see what was so great about art.On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary.In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn’t stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.60.
