For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. “Its a wellknown_pattern， said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigans Institute for Social Research. “Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework.He points out that differences among households (家庭) exist.But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. “And the situation gets worse for women when they have children. Stafford said.Overall，times are changing in the American home. In 1976，women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of sweepinganddusting work, compared with 17 hours in . Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from six in 1976 to 13 in .Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours，while married women in their 60s and 70s did the mostabout 21 hours a week.Men showed a somewhat different pattern ，with older men picking up the broom more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work，clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands 10 hours.语篇解读过去，对于女人来说，结婚意味着每周多做7个小时的家务；对于男人来说，结婚意味着每周少做1小时的家务。而如今，情况却发生了变化。1According to the“wellknown patternin Paragraph 1, a married man_.A. takes on heavier workB. does more houseworkC. is the main breadwinnerD. is the master of the house解析猜想词义题。第一段最后一句告诉我们：男人通常在外挣钱养家，而女人那么更多负责家务。答案C2How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s?A.

Suddenly, youre yawning with him，though youre not tired.This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious (有感染力的) yawning，which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.Hugo Critchley，a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley，our mind and body are in constant exchange about how were feeling.“Emotions are closely linked with states of internal(内部的) responses， he explained. “There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions. When were in a group，these signals can spread to another person. For example，theres the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.Hugo Critchley further explained，“Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person，we even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how youre sittingits pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe its our way of telling each other that were partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle(微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions.So，what lessons can we learn from this? “Spend time with happy peopleotherwise your health could suffer， said Critchley. “When were sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when were happy，our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright，our skin glows，we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us.5. According to Hugo Critchley，_.A. emotions are as visible as facial expressionsB. we yawn more frequently when we have a coldC. emotions are connected with states of internal responsesD. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions解析细节判断题。从第三段“Emotions are closely linked with states of internal responses可以看出C项是正确。从第三段“There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions.可知A项不对。从第三段最后一句话可见D项错误。答案C6. The underlined word “synchronise in Paragraph 4 means“_A. move slowly B. change rapidlyC. relax temporarily D. respond accordingly解析词义猜想题。由synchronise后的“.when we like the other person，we even copy his behavior.可以看出答案：当我们喜欢对方时，我们就模仿他的行为。答案D7. From the passage we can learn_.A. sadness is as contagious as happinessB. anger is less contagious than friendlinessC. surprise is more contagious than smileD. surprise is the most contagious among emotions解析推理判断题。这四个选项是考查学生对第三段最后一句话的理解“For example，theres the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise，anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.当人们对我们微笑时，我们显然有微笑的倾向；那些反映惊奇、生气或悲伤的情绪却不太容易受影响而变化。答案B8. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.B. Children like copying the actions of fellow humans.C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.D. People tend to communicate more with body language.解析判断正误题。整篇文章都在论述情绪会对同伴有微妙的影响：第一段举例说明，第二段和第三段用理论说明，第四段讲我们喜欢一个人就会模仿他，因此A项正确。答案A.话题写作训练读写任务阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。A woman was waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago. Buses came by, but not the one she wanted. The woman finally halfentered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.The driver looked at her but made no answer, so she repeated the question. To her surprise, he then closed the door on her arm, and drove off.The woman, with her arm stuck in the door, ran alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost two blocks only because they, too, were shouting.When the driver finally did stop and open the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.After the driver s bosses at a taxsupported government company heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment: a fiveday suspension without pay. That struck me as rather light.【写作内容】1请用大约30个词概括短文内容；2以约120词发表自己的看法，包括以下观点：(1)你怎么看待这个司机的行为；(2)你认为处分怎样，是重还是轻？【写作要求】1在作文中可以使用自己的亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直接引用原文中的句子；3标题自定。【参考范文】Evildoing should be severely punishedA bus driver stuck a woman s arm on purpose and dragged her a couple of blocks. For this he got a fiveday suspension without pay，which was a rather light punishment.After reading the passage, I felt very angry with the driver. It was what he did that did shock me. I can t believe the driver is so cruel.Generally speaking, the responsibility of a bus driver is to serve people. However, the driver is short of essential occupational morality.Having known the woman s arm was stuck in the bus door, he continued to drive his bus. What an evilminded driver!As for punishment, a fiveday suspension without pay is not enough, which is too light. In my opinion, evildoing like this should be severely punished. At times, grueling punishment can prevent some evil actions from happening. For example, if the driver mentioned above is punished by a onemonth suspension without pay, maybe he wont do this any longer.
