Nobodys hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadnt prepared Ray for. I felt confident that Id raised a self-reliant boy, as we all try to do. But could he boil water? Sew on a button? Wash his clothes without turning them pink? No, no and no. Suddenly it hit me: Hed be leaving the house in a year to attend college. No way was I going to set a spoiled prince into the world.As parents, while we focus on our childs confidence and character, we perhaps dont always consider that we are also raising someones future roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father. I wanted to know that Id raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “Whats for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didnt say no.For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for toasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust（馅饼皮）and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.Three of my four grandparents were tailors, so Ray was genetically programmed to quickly master the basics, like mending a split seam or refastening a button. One day we covered Advanced Laundry, in which I taught him never to mix a red sweatshirt with white shirts or put sweaters in the dryer. I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother - he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive - but it couldnt be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate more what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more important, he realizes theres nothing masculine（男子气的）about being helpless. Not only can he make his own dinner, he can make it for his family, too. Thats what I call a man.( ) 4. Hearing her sons question, the author felt _. A. shockedB. angryC. disappointedD. calm( ) 5. We can learn from the text that Ray _.A. made great progress in cooking B. preferred sewing to cookingC. was unwilling to take the course at first D. always thought it attractive to do housework( ) 6. The underlined part “more than just housekeeping” shows that Ray _.A. fell in love with houseworkB. did other work in the houseC. acknowledges the authors effortsD. began to be more independent( ) 7. What would be the best title for the text?A. Are Women Programmed for Housework?B. Should Boys Be Involved in Housework?C. Im Proud Ive Raised a Curious Son D. A Present for My Future Daughter-in-law参考答案：AACD C North and South Koreans face a widening language divide caused by 70 years of separation. That is creating some communication problems for the two countries' first joint Olympic team as it prepares for 2018 Winter Games in Pyeong Chang, South Korea. So, the joint women's hockey team has created its own dictionary. The three-page document translates important hockey terms from English into South Korean, and then into North Korean.Canadian Sarah Murray is the team's coach，She says the document has helped everybody communicate. Team Korea was formed just two weeks ago after the two Koreas decided to suddenly cooperate during the Olympics. Twelve players from North Korea were then added to the 23rmember South Korean team. South Korea has incorporated many English words and phrases into its language. North Korea has removed foreign words and created substitutes from Korean words. To many South Koreans, the substitutes sound funny. Language experts say about one-third of the everyday words used in the two countries are different. The divide is wider with technical language, like that used for medical and sports industries. For example, South Korean hockey players use the English word "pass," but their North Korean teammates say "yeol lak" or "communication." North Koreans say "nahl gay soo” meaning "wing player." South Koreans call that position "wing" like in English. South Koreans say "block shot" while North Koreans say "buhduh make," or "stretching to block. " Murray admits that there are still some problems in communication even with the new dictionary. She said her South Korean assistant coach plays an important part in bridging thedivide. Some in South Korea have criticized the partnership. They argue that the addition of players from North Korea players may prevent South Korean players from playing as much. One early public opinion study found that about 70 percent of South Koreans opposed the joint team. However, that opposition appears to be lessening as the Olympics near,( ) 8. What factor mainly causes the communication barriers for North and South Joint Hockey Team?A.The team was suddenly formed in a hurry.B.They are devoted to preparing the Winter Olympics.C.There exists a gap between the two language.D.They have been separated from each other for 70 years.( ) 9.

She also weaved wool (毛线) flowers on the basket. Making bags was not all the students did.
