The latest survey of time use in America suggests women still【C2】______ most of the housework, spending on average an hour a day scrubbing, hoovering and shopping, compared with barely 20 minutes for the unfairer sex. Standard【C3】______ for this division of labour rest on the pay gap between the sexes. A recent report shows women still earn about 20% less than men in America. Couples can maximise earnings if the lower-paid(usually female)partner does the【C4】______ work at home. But in a new paper Leslie Stratton of Virginia Commonwealth University asks whether different attitudes to housework also play a【C5】______ in sharing the dusting. Mr Stratton draws on data from the Time Use Survey in Britain, which shows how people spent their day and which tasks they enjoyed. Attitudes certainly【C6】______: women disliked laundry less than men. Ironing was generally dreaded; weirdly large numbers of both sexes liked shopping for food. Mr Stratton found some【C7】______ for the pay-gap hypothesis. Women with higher wages did a little less work at home. A woman who earned 10% more than average ducked out of two minutes' housework per weekday. Her partner heroically【C8】______this time at the weekend. But his wages made no difference to the extent of his efforts around the house. There is truth in the idea【C9】______ chores go to the lower-paid partner. But cause and effect are【C10】______. Do women do more because of lower pay, or might their careers suffer from a disproportionate burden at home?

University, a place disseminating knowledge and illuminating people's mind, renders people opportunities to further their study and cultivate their capability. Some people propose that university should enroll equal number of male and female students in every major. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES Nowadays, plenty of universities limit the number of female students who study in some particular subjects; therefore, more and more people, especially feminism supporters who help improve women's status in society, are arguing that universities should enroll equal number of male and female students in every subject. Equal admission will play a vital role in improving women's status since men and women are born equal, and women should also have the right to choose whatever majors they like. Only in this way, can men and women share not only the equal enrollment figures in every major but also equal opportunities in future jobs. NO First of all, major selection is decided by students themselves. Studies show that men and women think differently. Male students are inclined to major in technical subjects, while female students are more likely to choose the arts. This may stem from the thought that men usually take the burden of feeding the family, and people who major in technical fields will have a better chance to get higher salary after graduation. To women, however, what they study is nothing serious for their future life. In the second place, some work is more suitable for an appointed gender. For instance, nurse schools are open to women only, and infants' schools prefer female teachers. These are all because women are more careful and patient, and less aggressive in nature. By contrast, men fit in jobs such as steel workers and police officers because of their braveness, haleness, and decisiveness.

(l)The British Court of Appeal has cut libel damages awarded to McDonald's, the world's largest fast-food chain, against two penniless environment campaigners. (2)In 1997, the High Court in London found that environmental campaigners Helen Steel, aged 34, and Dave Morris, 44, were guilty of distributing a pamphlet containing allegations against McDonald's and their fast food and its preparation. The trial lasted three years and brought to light much evidence about the way McDonald's hamburger chain workers prepared, handled and served food, and the treatment of these workers by the American-owned company. The High Court in London awarded McDonald's damages of 60, 000 pounds (RMB 780,000) against the two penniless campaigners. (3)But in 1999, three Appeal Court Judges in London decided that the two defendants found guilty of libel against McDonald's in 1997 would have the damages they have to pay to McDonald's reduced to 40, 000 pounds (RMB 520,000). (4)While upholding the libel ruling, the judges backed the defendants' claim the food carries health risks and said allegations McDonald's workers suffer poor pay and conditions are "fair comment". The judges also backed a claim by the defendants that eating the company's hamburgers can cause heart disease. (5)The claim that "if one eats enough McDonald's food, one's diet may well become high in fat... with the very real risk of heart disease, is justified," said Lord Justice Pill, who was sitting in the Court of Appeal with Lord Justice May and Justice Keene. (6)The appeal decision is likely to be a further embarrassment to McDonald's, whose three-year action against environmental campaigners Helen Steel and Dave Morris generated extensive negative publicity. (7)Peter Backman, chief executive of Food Service Intelligence, a research group, said: "McDonald's is very conscious of what people say about them. They have got where they have by listening to consumers. I think their strategy will be to downplay the ruling, refute the comments, and thirdly, to do something about it." McDonald's said it welcomed the Court of Appeal decision to uphold the 1997 libel ruling. (8)The company faces another $200,000 legal bill for the 23-day appeal hearing. Steel and Morris were to take the case to the House of Lords and the European Court of Human Rights to appeal against the damages awarded against them. They present much of their cases themselves and any lawyer's fees are largely paid for by donations. The pair have yet to win court backing for claims that McDonald's damages the environment, or that there are links between its hamburgers, cancer and food poisoning. (9)The fast-food chain has not yet recovered a penny of its original libel award from the defendants, who are refusing to hand over any money.
