26、 China dropped its decades-long, one-child policy several years ago to allow each family to have two children. This change has put 270 million married women of childbearing age in the position of choosing between family and work. The employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two maternity leaves(产假）for a total of seven to eight months.
In a survey published by classified advertising website Ganji.com, career women who might be considering having a second child were asked what kinds of pressure they might expect. More than 76 percent of the women who were questioned mentioned concerns about the financial burden of raising two children, while more than 71 percent said it would be difficult to balance career and family. In addition, nearly 56 percent said that having a second child would definitely have a negative effect on their career.
Another survey conducted by Chongging-based human resources website job.cg.qq.com found that over 70 percent of job seekers believe that having a second child would make females less popular in the job market, although two-thirds of the employers said the policy will make no difference in their employment of staff.
Feng Lijuan, a senior expert on human resources at 51 job. com, a leading Chinese job finding platform, said she would not say “there is prejudice against career women”. Feng said Chinese women shoulder more family responsibility. “It is not only about maternity leave; a female employee might only fully get back to work after three to five years after having her first child.”
Wang Yixin, a senior employment adviser, said the positive side is that more companies are trying to attract more talents by providing support to career women: “Different from before, it is not only employers choosing employees. Many talents, including professional career women, also choose employers,” said Wang. “According to our survey, many large companies are very open to their employees’ choice of. having a second child.”
【1】In Paragraph 1, the end of one-child policy has great effect on ________.
A.women B.women and families
C.bosses D.women and employers
【2】According to the second survey, most people think having a second child would ________.
A.have no effect on career women
B.have a positive effect on women's career
C.have a negative effect on women's career
D.have both positive and negative effects on career women
【3】Which of the following sentences agrees with Feng Lijuan?
A.There isn't prejudice against career women.
B.The effect is only limited to maternity leave.
C.There is much more prejudice against career women.
D.Women can't fully come back to work for a long period.
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Responsibilities of Career Women
B.Effects of Two-child Policy on Women
C.Disadvantages of Raising Two Children
D.Different Attitudes of Employers to Women

28、 My father had died when I was young, so if I didn’t acknowledge my mother’s birthday, likely no one would. On her birthday, I decided to bake her some cookies, take them to her house and leave them with a little note for her.
But what to write about? My mother and I had not always been close. Pouring out words of love seemed insincere, but there were plenty of things I did appreciate, so I wrote a letter expressing my appreciation for what she had taught me. She taught me to live within our means and not to go into debt. She taught me the color of someone’s skin was irrelevant. She taught me helping others in need was its own reward. She taught me to value the elderly. She taught me how to see the shapes in the clouds. She taught me to appreciate the way the air smelled after a rain.
Having finished the letter, I sent the cookies and the handwritten letter to my mother. That evening, she called and thanked me, saying it was a wonderful birthday present.
Two years later, she suffered a fatal heart attack. While cleaning out her house, I came across a photocopy of the birthday letter I had written to her in the drawer of the bedside table in the guest room. And then room after room, drawer after drawer revealed more photocopies of the same letter. There was one in the kitchen drawer and one taped to the inside of the kitchen cabinet. I also found one in a drawer in both bathrooms, another in the living room and two more in her bedroom.
Finally, I opened the drawer beside her bed, where I found an old handkerchief and as I pulled it out, a wrinkled piece of paper fluttered to the floor. It was the original birthday letter. It had been smoothed over and over again. I realized at that moment that the best things I could have given my mother weren’t really things at all.
【1】What did the author learn from her mother?
A．Live a happy life regardless of how much money one has.
B．We should treat people of different skin colors differently.
C．One can be rewarded a lot of money when helping others.
D．It’s of great importance to explore the beauty of nature.
【2】While cleaning out his mother’s house, the author probably felt ________.
A．alarmed but convinced
B．confused but happy
C．surprised but touched
D．puzzled but inspired
【3】What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A．What her mother value was her love not the gift itself.
B．She should never have sent any present to her mother.
C．Of all the gifts she had given her mother, nothing was best.
D．No gift was better than what she had given her mother.
29、Recently I started discovering one thing which amazes me so much: how perfect everything is in the world we are living in! Just look, all day long we are busy working and just when we get tired, the night comes in, so we may sleep and relax. One day we may enjoy the bright sun and another day, when we get tired of the sun, the rain pours down.
A few months ago I was so happy with my life. Later, I got tired from the happiness. I wished I would have some trial to strengthen my character and learn something new about life. I got what I wanted. Shortly after I got severe angina (心绞痛), so I had to stay home for several weeks. During this period I had time to rethink my life and discover myself. The lessons were terrific, but I felt grateful for this time.
Another example: I have a friend, who primarily thinks about having fun. Once I thought why we get along well with each other and what in me attracts her. A couple of days ago I found the answer. I like calmness and silence. She likes noise and agitation (热闹). We attract each other just to balance ourselves, in other words, to give some drive to me and some calmness to her!
So remember that the universe is so wise that it will try to balance you. As for me, this is perfect because extremes create suffering: too much food – too little food, too cold – too hot, too much fun – too little fun.
【1】We can learn from the first paragraph that the author___.
A. always feels down on rainy days

A. it’s necessary to get along with different people
B. there exists a kind of balance in life

【3】The author would probably agree that___.
A. we shouldn’t go to extremes in life
B. we should be nice to others and ourselves
C. we should adapt ourselves to changes in life
D. life can be annoying sometimes

Certainly, in many ways this seems to be true.

For example, America’s most popular Chinese dish is General Tso’s chicken, which 【3】of fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce, flavoured with hot red 【4】.
