9、佳答案,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AHow do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If you are like most women, youve faced this question the hard way. A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually wont make the effort to clean or organize it. This doesnt mean that a woman has to do all the housework;
10、 she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partners participation(参与). A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility for housework. Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as womens work. On
11、the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and its important that you give your man appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little extra housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more l
12、ikely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored (监督). Heres the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household
13、 tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In a word, men are likely to do a household task just for the good of the house.21. The passage is mainly about _. A. how to get men to take on some housework B. how to get men to serve their familiesC. how to praise mens housework D. how to make m

16、 work on the yard.BWHAT can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money youll earn later.The idea that popularity could have a serio
17、us influence on ones earning potential shouldnt come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to go alo
18、ng with others in all kinds of different situations,” said Xu Yanchun,17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. “Also, friends always help each other.” They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you are occasionally in low spi
19、rits,” said Xu. She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”.Maybe thats why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendaholism(交友狂症)? A woman even complained that the networking website Facebooks 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve (储备)of socia
20、l contacts.But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of money?“Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the meaning of a friend,” said Meghan Daum
21、, who works with the Los Angeles Times in the US.Daum dislikes the idea that quantity trumps quality in the age of Friendaholism. She thought the idea of friendship, at least among the growing population of Internet social networkers, was to get as many of not-really-friends as possible. For example
22、, a friend might be someone you might know personally or someone who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you dont actually know. Although she agreed that social ties grease(润滑)the wheels of life, she also warned, “Too bad one thing money cant buy is a real fr

25、date B. optimistic C. puzzled D. traditional28. What does the word “trumps” in the last paragraph mean?A. Be better than. B. Be equal to. C. Be worse than. D. Be similar to.C I was talking with a client(客户)who was completely burned out on her work and life and then ready for a job change. She said,
26、“I just wish I had meaningful work. I dont feel like Im making a difference. Im just wasting my life.” These are the words I hear most often from clients. All of us want to feel like we are making a difference and our work means something. The problem comes in defining (定义)“meaningful work”. What is
27、 it? For some people meaningful work might be helping others organize their office. For others it may mean making a million dollars. What really matters is how you see it. What is meaningful work to you? Take out a piece of paper and answer these questions. How do you define meaningful work? When do
28、 you feel like you are really making a difference? What work have you done so far that feels the most meaningful? Write down whatever comes to your mind. It is very easy to start judging yourself as being selfish. Stop! Allow yourself to be honest. The fact is when Picasso painted, he was doing it b
29、ecause he liked to paint. He was not thinking, “Oh, I hope this brings joy to others lives.” He painted because he wanted to. When Beethoven composed, he did it because he loved music. Even scientists searching for a cure for cancer are completely involved in their work just because it fascinates th
30、em.It is easy to downplay the importance of work that feels meaningful. I remember Tony Robbins told a story of talking with the owner of a major company. The man said to Tony, “I wish I could do what you do because it makes such a difference in peoples lives.” Tony said, “Youve got to be kidding! L
31、ook at what a difference you make. You provide work, health insurance and security for thousands of people! Dont underestimate(低估)the value you provide.” Take a look at what you have written about meaningful work. How do you wish to contribute to this world? Whatever you choose, remember that the greatest gift you can give is to find work that makes you feel fulfilled and jo
