Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked, canned, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant, the workers， canteen, and the school dining-room.It is unusual now for father to pursue （追求）his trade of other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father, s occupation （职业）， and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile （纺织品的）areas it has long been a custom for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now not an unusual factor in a child，s home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last 25 years. With mother earning and older children drawing much salaries father is seldom the controlling figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother，s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.56、 The writer compares home to a workshop because .A. fathers often pursue employment at homeB. parents have to make food and necessity themselves for their daily lifeC. many families produce goods at home for saleD. both fathers and mothers in most families are workers57、 The main reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father's occupation is .

With their earning, mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life.B. There are many choices of employment for mothers and children.C. Father does much less for his children today than he used to.D. The number of married women in employment has increased now.59、 It is implied in the passage that .

I,m glad they've finally decided to clean them, " the nurse said. She looked at mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late?"Mum just pushed harder, each swipe （拖）of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until I couldn't see her and the nurse had turned back to write in the big book.After a long time mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She rapidly put the mop back and took my hand.

Clever.Are You on the List?Online mailing lists are similar to message boards, but a little bit more private. Like message boards, each list centers on a specific topic. Unlike message boards, mailing lists use email to connect users. Send your email address to a "list server" along with the name of the mailing list (or email conversation) you want to join. From then on (until you unsubscribe), you' 11 receive all the email that you and other users send to the list.The web site List is a great way to find mailing lists. It organizes over 70, 000 mailing lists by category. If you sign up for one, make sure you have a stable email address. Many times a list will only let you post a message from the address that you are subscribed (预定)under. Also keep the first email you get from a list in a safe placeit usually tells you how to unsubscribe.Finally, you may want to sign up for a list and receive only the best messages. Many moderated lists allow you to designate whether you' 11 get every message or only a "digest”. Again, check that first message for instructions. (A word of caution: don't go crazy and sign for too many fists all at once. If you do, you may be inundated (泛滥)with email and not get anything positive out of the experience. Take it slow. Sign up for one or two lists, and then go from there.)65> How can you get mail from the mailing lists?A.

Last Sunday I counted ads forseven kinds of televisions and thirteen kinds of radios in the Youth Journal. Besides that, there were pages and pages of ads for Citizens Band radios and tape recorders.Don't you realize what electronic equipment is doing to our daily life? Everywhere you go you may hear loud music and advertisements over radios; this continuous noise is doing harm to our ears. Husbands don't talk to wives any more; they are always watching the news or a ball game. Children's eyes become hurt with endless hours of watching not only the programs for children but also those for grown-ups as well. And worse, hidden microphones find out our personal lives, and computers keep records of personal information about us.That is enough! I think you should limit the amount of adv
