19、even on bicycles. Large cities in the United States have two rush hours one in the morning and one in the evening. But in cities in other parts of the world, there are four rush hours. In Athens and Rome, for example, many workers go home for lunch and a nap. After this midday break, they rush back
20、to their jobs and work for a few more hours. In Tokyo, theres a big rush hour underground. Most of the people in Tokyo take the subways. The trains are very crowded.

21、t all purses, briefcases, clothes, and hands are inside the trains. In Seoul, many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work. To hail a cab，many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers. This means theyll pay the cab driver double the usual fare. Some people even raise three fingers! The
22、yll pay three times the normal rate.Streets in Rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds (摩托自行车) during rush hours. The city cant make its streets wider, and it cant build new highways, because it doesnt want to disturb the many historic sites in the city, such as the Forum and the Coliseum.

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 ma
27、ke the effort to clean or organise it. This doesnt mean that a woman has to do all the housework; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partners participation. A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility for housework.Very few men are rais
28、ed to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as womens work. On 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 wi
29、ll take on a little additional housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored. Heres the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or b
30、ecause they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a household task just for the good of the house.32. The passage is mainly about how to _. A. get men to take on some ho

37、s well. But whats more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.
