单选题 {{B}} Text{{/B}} There was a time when parents who wanted an educational present for their children would buy a typewriter, a globe or an encyclopedia set (一套百科全书). Now those {{U}}(26) {{/U}} seem hopelessly old-fashioned: this Christmas, there was a lot of {{U}}(27) {{/U}} computers under the tree.{{U}} (28) {{/U}} that computers are their key to success, parents are also frantically insisting that children {{U}}(29) {{/U}} taught to use them in school--as early as possible. The problem for schools is that when it {{U}}(30) {{/U}} computers, parents don't always know best. Many schools are {{U}}(31) {{/U}} parental impatience and are purchasing hardware {{U}}(32) {{/U}} sound educational planning, so they can say, "OK, we've moved into the computer age." Teachers {{U}}(33) {{/U}} themselves caught in the middle of the problem--between parent pressure and {{U}}(34) {{/U}} educational decisions. Educators do not even agree {{U}}(35) {{/U}} how computers should be used. A lot of money is going for computerized educational materials {{U}}(36) {{/U}} research has shown can be taught {{U}}(37) {{/U}} with pencil and paper. Even those who believe that all children should {{U}}(38) {{/U}} to computer warn of potential {{U}}(39) {{/U}} to the very young. The temptation remains strong largely because young children {{U}}(40) {{/U}} so well to computers. First graders have been {{U}}(41) {{/U}} willing to work for two hours on math skills. Some have an attention span of 20 minutes. {{U}}(42) {{/U}} school can afford to go into computing, and that creates {{U}}(43) {{/U}} another problem: a division between the haves and have-nots. Very few parents ask {{U}}(44) {{/U}} computer instruction in poor school districts, {{U}}(45) {{/U}} there may be barely enough money to pay the reading teacher.

单选题Whatisthewomanlookingfor?

单选题Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest. In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck and a bitter person.

单选题According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?

单选题 The cohesiveness(内聚力) of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine practices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours—what 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 meaning 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 wives 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 women's definitions of a "good husband" are typified by the following wife's 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 it's time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead 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 don't want her to give me a lot of shit when I come home from work because I don't know if this makes much sense. These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers.
