In many American homes today, it is more and more common to find that the children are left in day-care center
15、s or nursery schools while both parents work. The woman may earn as much or more money than her husband. At home, household duties are shared in varying degrees by all family members. It is not unusual to find father cooking dinner, cleaning the living room or charging the baby. Mother might be outs
16、ide mowing the lawn or washing the car. Children have responsibilities, too. One of the goals of the Womens Liberation Movement has been to have both men and women share in childcare, housework and financial responsibility. Today many American women will not marry a man who is not willing to partici
17、pate equally in household responsibilities.The high cost of living has made it necessary for many women to have jobs outside the home, but women often choose to have jobs in order to use their skills and education or to seek a more fulfilling and interesting life. Many American women enjoy the indep
18、endence that an outside job and the salary give them. Although women have made advances toward equality, sex discrimination (歧视) still exists. Men-employers and even some women-employers sometimes are not for women working outside the home, and in some cases, a woman might be paid less than a man wh
19、o performs the same job. American women, however, have met challenges since pioneer days, and they continue to work for true equality. 25 In the article the author implies that little children in America used to stay.（A）in nurseries（B） in day-care centers（C） at home（D）at school26 Many American women

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.30 “One time, I couldnt find Paro and was looking for him everywhere,“ says one caretaker at the Kirara nursing home in Japans Nanto City. “Finally
24、I found Paro sleeping in a patients bed.“Paro is a robotic baby sealcovered with white furthat was developed over 12 years at a cost of some $10 million by Japans National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. Nanto is one of the first cities in the world to experiment using robot
25、s to help care for the elder citizens.According to the nursing staff, Paro, which responds to human voices and loving touches, has become part of the family. In fact, nurses often find elderly patients covering the robot in blankets and trying to feed it snacks, even though Paro cant really eat.Its
26、no surprise that Japan is turning to technology for help with one of its most troublesome problems: an aging population. Japan is said to be with 28% of the population expected to be 65 years or older by 2010.Fewer young people would like to be caretakers. Perhaps robotic companions can ease some of
27、 the burden.But whether robots can adequately handle this responsibilitypositively impacting both the health and well-being of the elderlyremains an open question.Alan Beck directs one such study. He said they placed Aibo, a robotic dog made by Sony, in the homes of isolated senior citizens to deter
28、mine whether the robotic pet can improve quality of life. Though the final results have not yet been published, preliminary(初步的 ) conclusions indicate that the robotic dog is treated much like a family pet, drawing behaviors commonly associated with companionship, including sharing thoughts and feel
29、ings. Beck says participants felt more comfortable and less lonely with Aibo.Dr. Takanori Shibata, the creator of Paro, and his colleagues found that robot interaction lowered stress, elevated moods and decreased depression. Additionally, Paro encouraged communication and social behavior among subje
30、cts. Whats more, Shibata found that brain activity increased 50% in patients with dementia(痴呆)after just twenty minutes with Paro. Caretakers were positively affected as well. The robots not only decreased nursesstress levels but also gave them something to discuss with their elderly patients.30 Wha
31、t are Paro and Aibo according to the authors introduction?（A）They are family pets.（B） They are robotic caretakers.（C） They are robotic animal companions.（D）They are toys for senior citizens.31 Japan is turning to the research of robotic animals because（A）it can do the jobs of a nurse（B） it helps cur
32、e elderly patients（C） it is popular to many families（D）it has an aging population and fewer caretakers32 What did the creator of Paro himself find about robot interaction?（A）It can adequately impact the health and well-being of the elderly positively.（B） It stimulates brain activity of patients with
33、 dementia.（C） It has little effect on lowering stress, elevating moods and decreasing depression.（D）It only positively affected the patients.33 Which of the following statement is true?（A）Nanto is the first city to experiment with using robots to help care for the elder citizens.（B） Paro can respond
34、 to human voices and loving touches.（C） Companion robots have the ability to eat.（D）Aibo can understand thoughts and feelings of human being.34 We can infer that the authors attitude towards the robotic companion is _.（A）suspicious（B） confused（C） optimistic（D）disagreeingTask 3Directions: The followi

36、ools of ourselves. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.But stop biting your fingernails. Public speaking is easy and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift“ like musical talent or being able to draw. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of t
37、he lessons I have learned.Keep it simple and short.Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or twenty. If you cant express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough. And if you dont have a clear
38、idea of what you want to say, there is no way your audience will.Get organized.No matter how long or short your speech is, youve got to get your ducks in a row how youre going to open, what major points you want to make and how youre going to close.Be realYoure talking because you have experienced s
39、omething the audience has not. Share it. Make the audience feel as you didhot or cold, frightened or sad, annoyed or puzzled. The first-person singular is a powerful tool.Take charge.The first few moments of your speech establish the relationship between you and your audience. Dont begin until you h
40、ave everybodys attention. When theyve quietened, establish eye contact.Public speaking is not more difficult than using chopsticks or trying a bow tie. The mysterious becomes simple once you know how to do it.The next time its your turn to make a speech at a business meeting, club dinner or a party,
41、 see if my suggestion can work for you.The reason why speaking is most peoples (46) is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves.

After reading the passage you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No.56 through No.60) following them. 45 Legal translation is one of the largest areas of our business. It stands to reason that any businessperson or individual
45、 must fully understand contracts they enter into, and we ensure that nothing is lost in the translation.And it is extremely important to have contracts translated by professionals: a current client of ours in the U.K. came to us after a terrible experience. They had signed a contract with a Mexican
46、company having had it translated by a junior member of their staff who had studied Spanish at school. It transpired(为人所知) she missed out a paragraph, and mistranslated another. This later culminated(以.结果告终) in the company being liable for a payment of over 150,000. All this was a direct result of a
47、clause totally unknown to its management team. Needless to say, this client now sends its legal translation work to us religiously!All of our legal translators are professional linguists with extensive real-life experience of the legal world. Quite simply, anyone without such experience would not be
48、 qualified to understand a legal document in a foreign language and then convey its meaning in their own.Having said this, we are not lawyers. We can translate accurately and well, but we will not write a document that is legally binding. If this is what you require, we can help you find a lawyer in
49、 the country for which you are preparing the document. Our services are for information only when it comes to legal documents.45 What do they ensure in the legal translation?_. 46 Who is the best person to translate contracts?_. 47 What happened after a contract of the Company was mistranslated?The company had to pay_
