9、dmired very much. He was natural, warm, and sincere.I disregarded （不顾） my parents disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning， and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus， or sunbathe （晒太阳） on the lawn. At night he would walk me

10、back to my dorm. He came from a poor family， but in order to make me happy， he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me. Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model， and the girls envied （妒忌） me. He wasnt a local， but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we

11、 had a future together.However, when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation, people began giving me a lot of pressure, saying that a pretty, intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with. This was also what my family thought. He spent the summer in his hometown, so I

12、 was all by myself. When he got back, I began finding fault with him. But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away. However, I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well. With my good perfor

13、mance at school, I also got admission to graduate school at one of Chinas best universities. He, on the other hand, did not do so well at school or at work. I had to worry about his living expenses, job and scores.Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a qu

17、g with the host about stay-at-home fathers. I made the point that one reason were seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that its no longer a given （假定的事实） that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into account when deciding which parent will stay home.At that poi

18、nt, one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud enough for my benefit, It should be the better parent who stays home. A lot of guys say things like that. Usually its a code for, My wife, (read: any woman) is the better parent.I was a stay-at-home father for eight years， so his

19、 declaration made me bristle （激动）。 It implied that our familys choice could only have been correct if I was a better parent than my wife.I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the better parent: She I-Dad spent more time with Ry, could read him better a

20、nd calm him more quickly. And given a choice, hed have picked her over me. But as she was the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.Because of the increased time I spent with him， I soon knew Ry well， understood what he needed and could look after him more or less

21、as well as my wife could. Actually， the experience helped me unlock one of the worlds great secrets： Women are good at looking after children because they do it. Its not because of any innate （先天的） female aptitude （天资） or a mothers instinct. Its because they put in the time and attention required to

22、 become good at the job.Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing, but over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good I dont know. Who cares Children are not made of glass. Other people are capable of lookin

23、g after them besides Morn.Which of the following does the first paragraph implyAMen like staying at home.BThe author works at a TV station.CIn more and more families the wife is earning more than the husbandDThe husband is the better parent. 5.第三篇 Is the Tie a Necessity？Ties, or neckties, have been

24、a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries. But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties. So, are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties Maybe. Last week, the UKs Cabine

25、t Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era. He hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.In fact， Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of them were celebrities （

26、知名人士） without ties， which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past.For some more conservative British, the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie. For people like Callagha

27、n, the tie was a sign of being complete, of showing respect. Men were supposed to wear a tie when going to church, to work in the office, to a party-almost even social occasion.But today, people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions.The origin of the tie is tricky. It started

28、 as something called simply a band. The term could mean anything around a mans neck. It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement. Their neckwear （颈饰） impressed Charles II， the king of England who was exiled （流放） to France at that time. When he

29、 returned to England in 1660， he brought this new fashion item along with him.It wasnt, however, until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful, flowing piece of cloth that eventually became known as the tie. Then, clubs military institutions and schools began to use col

30、ored and patterned ties to indicate the wearers membership in the late 19th century. After that, the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British gentlemen.But now, even gentlemen are getting tired of ties. Anyway, the day feels a bit easier when you wake up without having to decide which tie

31、 suits you and your mood.The tie symbolizes all of the following exceptArespect.Belegance，Cpoliteness.Ddemocracy. 6.Child ConsultantsThese days， what do you want to do when you grow up？ is the wrong question to ask children in the USA.
