单选题Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella ends, but did you ever really think about how she spent her days before she met the prince? Her daily routine was not fascinating. She did everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals. If someone had asked Cinderella, "Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?" She probably would have answered, "Why, none, of course. Housework is my dirty!" In the real world, however, most people have definite dislikes for certain sorts of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing clothes and washing dishes. Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled individually, so ironing a basket of laundry can take hours! After ironing a piece of clothing with great caution, which requires smoothing out the fabric, and following the seams, you need to place it on a hanger as soon as possible. If you do not follow these directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end. Another household job that: many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don''t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes by hand, but we are not necessarily happy doing it. Cleaning dishes is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I don''t know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.

单选题It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas' house ______.

单选题All Sue Rodriguez wanted was to die with dignity and within the law, but it turned out that she could not do both. Last week the British Columbian woman, totally disabled by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (肌萎缩性侧索硬化), challenged Canada's law against doctor - assisted suicides and took her life, presumably with the help of drugs administered by a still unidentified physician. The case caused a political and legal furor across Canada not only because the law was challenged, but also because a Member of Parliament was at Rodriguez's side when she died. Svend Robinson, an enthusiastic right-to-die supporter and Canada's only openly gay federal legislator, retained a criminal lawyer to defend him against possible charges that he encouraged the commission of a crime. The M.P. said he was present during the suicide at Rodriguez' s invitation: "I considered it a privilege and an honor that she trusted me." Rodriguez,43, spent two years challenging the 1892 law that makes doctor-assisted suicide illegal, taking her case all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled 5 to 4 last September that the law was valid and said its repeal was up to the House of Commons. The momentum for such a move is strong. Legislators still recall dramatic videotaped testimony offered by Rodriguez before a parliamentary committee in 1992. "I want to ask you, gentlemen," she said in a quavering voice, "If I cannot give consent to my own death, then whose body is this? Who owns my life.'?" Robinson is expected to lead the charge for repeal. What remains unclear is whether his presence during Rodriguez's suicide makes him vulnerable to legal action; experts say it is not against the law to be present at an assisted suicide. Robinson says he will respect Rodriguez' s wish to keep confidential the identity of the doctor involved, even if an official inquiry insists that he reveal it.

单选题{{B}}Text 1{{/B}} Kite flying is the sport of sending up into the air, by means of the wind, a light frame covered with paper, plastic or cloth. The frame can be one of many different shapes and is attached to a long string held in the hand or wound on a drum. Kites have a long history of practical application and many different types of kite have been developed to serve various purposes. The ancient Chinese used bird-kites to carry ropes across rivers and valleys. The current folding kite which will dive excitingly is an improved type of such a kite. With its long flat body and single pair of birdlike wings, it looks just like a large bird in the air. The modem version is usually made of tissue-paper rather than the traditional silk. Man-lifting kites were developed in ancient times, again by the Chinese, for getting information from walled cities and army camps In fact, as recently as World War Ⅱ, German U-boats flew kites from their towers to lift people into the air to watch the land. These kites, which are no longer in existence, were made of light-weight cloth. They were much larger and stronger than the Chinese ones. Their design, however, was simply that of the cutter kite. Smaller in size, this type of kite is still very popular as a toy for children, being easy to make with a diamond-shaped frame, no wings and brown-Raper covering. Box-kites are another type of kite found in toy shops today. The first box-kite, named for its box-like body, was developed in the nineteenth century to test theories of flight and this type of cotton-covered kite greatly assisted the success of early aeroplanes. These kites are the ancestors of a heavier version of the box-kite, called the double box-kite, which consists of two main sections, placed side by side. Developed for the peacetime purpose of fishing in strong sea wind, it is the only modern kite described which has practical value. A long-lasting plastic material has to be used for this kite, which carries fishing lines.
