Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a “housewife”.<br /> She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the family. He was usually out<br /> working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. And he did not see the<br /> children very much, except on weekends.<br /> These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the children all<br /> day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning<br /> up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who<br /> is going to take care of the children?<br /> Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife agree<br /> to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always cooks<br /> dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner<br /> on other nights.<br /> Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from<br /> grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too far away to help in<br /> a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center.<br /> The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.<br /> Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companies now let people<br /> with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some husbands may even<br /> stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: they are called<br /> “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.<br /> These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their children better,<br /> and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage.<br /> They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.<br /> <br /> Question36: Sixty years ago, most women ____________<br /> A. were housewives<br /> B. went out to work<br /> C. did not do much housework<br /> D. had no children<br /> Question37: Nowadays, there are __________.<br /> A. more work outside the home than before<br /> B.more and more women staying with the children all day<br /> C. more housewives than before<br /> D. more women going out to work than before<br /> Question38: The word “laundry” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___________<br /> A. cooking and washing up<br /> B. tidying up<br /> C. washing and ironing<br /> D.

Emotions have<br /> evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the<br /> eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on<br /> emotional expressions has centered on such questions.<br /> According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the<br /> same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional<br /> expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness<br /> and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary,<br /> Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic<br /> Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness,<br /> fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both<br /> the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example,<br /> children are taught to control emotional responses – especially negative ones- while many American children are<br /> encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves,<br /> to some degree , in people’s behavior. From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that<br /> communicate their feelings.<br /> The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to facial<br /> expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This<br /> evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human<br /> emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear<br /> across species boundaries. Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different<br /> meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your<br /> tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an<br /> American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture<br /> influences emotional expressions.<br /> Question43: According to the passage, we respond to others by _________.<br /> A. observing their looks<br /> B. watching their actions<br /> C. observing their emotional expressions<br /> D. looking at their faces<br /> Question44: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether __________.<br /> A. different cultures have similar emotional expressions.<br /> B. eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar.<br /> C. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth.<br /> D. rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar.<br /> Question45: The word “ evolved” in line 3 is closest in meaning to __________.<br /> A. reduced<br /> B. increased<br /> C. simplified<br /> D. developed<br /> Question46: Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of ____________.<br /> A. lacked many main ingredients<br /> B. researchers on universal language<br /> C. researchers who can speak and understand many languages<br /> D. investigators on universal emotional expressions<br /> Question47: The biggest difference lies in __________.<br /> A. how long negative emotions are displayed B. how intensive emotions are expressed<br /> C. how emotional responses are controlled<br /> D. how often positive emotions are shown<br /> Question48: Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _______.<br /> A. control their emotions<br /> B. display their emotions openly<br /> C. conceal their positive emotions<br /> D. change their behaviour<br /> Question49: The phrase “ this evidence” in line 21 refers to _________.<br /> A. the fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions<br /> B. human facial expressions<br /> C. a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions<br /> D. the fact that children can control their feelings<br /> Question50: The best title for the passage is ________________.<br /> A.
