For the first time the world cup so
25、ccer competition will be held in the United States. While millions play the game around the world, soccer or football has only recently become popular here.

27、 than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this years world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold.Soccer has been played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the spor
28、t come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world? No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from, or when people began playing the game.

For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hourswha
35、t we here call “shift work“makes the lives of families difficult.Existing research shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the mean
36、ing of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do “whatever it takes“ to approximate their view of a proper marriage, including sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when w
37、ives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is characterized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are “providers“ whose major responsibility is to support the family; wives are “homemakers“ who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children.The womens definitions of a “good husband“ a
38、re typified by the following wifes response:I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me, expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speaking, when its time to be a man I expect him to stand up instea
39、d of sitting back expecting me to do everything.To husbands, a good wife is someone who is:Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work, I hope I get it at work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I dont want her to give me a lot of shit when I come home
40、 from work because I dont know if this makes much sense.These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers.（分数：10.00）(1).Despite _, shift work couples still hoped to maintain a stable life.A. traditional beliefs about marriageB. lack of control over timeC. a very clear divisio
41、n of rolesD. the demands of work（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).From the selection, we can conclude that female shift workers were NOT satisfied with _.A. their workB. their childrenC. their husbands inability to protect the family and provide companionshipD. leisure activities（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What is impl

45、ness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre “hot“. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some
46、people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! Youll be late for work again ! “ The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-
47、and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrel ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you
48、re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle,
49、but youll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.（分数：10.00）(1).If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _.A. he is a lazy personB. he r
