Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers

31、on ANSWER SHEET 1. 40 “Family“ is of course an elastic word. And in different countries it has different meanings. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family“ in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living toge

32、ther in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and in-dependent family hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both man and woman, marriage means leaving one s parents and starting one s own life. The man

33、 s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife s first duty will be to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she will be responsible for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and their alone. Neither the wife s par

34、ents nor the husband s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them they are their own masters. Readers of novels like Jane Austen s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl s parents, that

35、 is, it was the parents duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents home, and the financial relief of gettin

36、g rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and sh

37、e gets no dowry. Every coin has two sides: independence for girls is no exception. But it may be a good thing for all of the girls, as their social status are much higher and they are no longer the subordinate of their parents and husbands. 41 What does the author mean by “Family is of course an ela

38、stic word“? （ A） Different nations have different families. （ B） Different times produce different families. （ C） Different families have different ways of life. （ D） Different definitions could be given to the word. 42 For an English family, the husband s duty is_. （ A） supporting the family while

39、the wife is working out （ B） defending the family while the wife is running the home （ C） providing financial support while the wife is running the home （ D） independent while his wife is also independent 43 Everything is decided in a family_. （ A） by the couple （ B） with the help of their parents （

40、 C） by brothers and sisters （ D） with the help of aunts and uncles 44 What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice? （ A） It is the best book on marriage. （ B） It is a handbook on marriage. （ C） It gives some idea of English social life in the past. （ D） It provides a lot of information of fo

41、rmer-time wealthy families. 45 With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in_. （ A） the right family （ B） social position （ C） choosing husbands （ D） more parental support 45 I don t think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to your problem is th

42、at long nap after dinner. If you didn t sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more ready to sleep at bedtime. If you didnt nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your

43、system when you get up in the morning. This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day. You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, engage in some sort of physical activity a sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends f

44、or an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good nights rest without taking a pill. If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it may

45、 be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a f

46、ew hours sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour.
