17、 The law says women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them. The reality is very different. Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act, many of them still get paid less than men. They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just wont consider.
18、And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children. All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Governments womens unit. The biggest problem isnt equal pay in workplaces such as factories. It is the sort of work women do. Make a list of low-paid-jobs, the
19、n consider who does them. Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies and child-care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there? Yet some of those jobs are really important. Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start. So
20、why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answerbecause they are women. This is not going to be put right overnight. But the government, which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start. It is disgraceful that we have gone into the 21st century still
21、treating women like second-class citizens.24. Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and getting the same pay as men _. A.after 25 yearsB.according to the lawC.as a result of those important jobsD.because women are as strong as men25. We can learn from the text that what really matters
22、in this problem is _. A.that women interrupt a career to have childrenB.what sort of work women doC.because they are womenD.what unfair pay women get in workplaces26. Which of the followings best describes the writers idea? A.Women and men should get equal pay for equal work.B.Women should strengthe

24、ggest problem about womenCA few weeks ago, I sat with a California farmer named Dave Ribeiro. I asked him what he wished to know about farmers. He smiled and said, “That we walk among you. We look like you and talk like you. We have advanced degrees and hobbies, just like you.” Take Dave for example
25、: Hes a young man with a music degree. And if you walked past him on the street, youd never think, “There goes a farmer.” Is someone like Dave who you picture when you think of a farmer? Probably not. I think that most people would picture a man in his overalls(工作服). I can tell you, that does not re
26、present Dave or any of the many other farmers I have gotten to know. Not only do we have to throw out our previous impression of farmers, but farming as a whole doesnt look much like it used to either. We recently sent a team out to see what modern farming looks like, and they found farmers to be co
27、mpletely different from our usual ideas about them and also came across them in some unexpected places. In a parking lot in a neighborhood of Brooklyn, they met a new crop of young farmers who were trying to bring fresh greens closer to eaters in the city by growing them in high-tech indoor vertical
28、(垂直的) farms. In a Florida field under the fight path of an airport, they discovered farmers with university degrees growing plants that might someday fuel our cars. And in a modern farm in California, they observed how farmers were using technology to take the best possible care of their animals. Th
29、ese farmers all spend their days in very different waysnone of them looks like the previous farmer we have in our mindbut theyre all working on new ways to feed our planet. Not only do we need to change our idea of what farming looks like, but we also need to change our view of where solutions can c
30、ome from. Feeding all of us is going to take all of us working together.28. How does Dave describe todays farmers? A.They often walk on the street. B.They are leading a very busy life.C.They are similar to ordinary people. D.They have little time to make friends.29. How does the author think most pe
31、ople see farmers? A.They usually wear overalls. B.They have interesting hobbies.C.They are skilled at growing crops. D.They know modern farming practices.30. What was the purpose of the team? A.To deepen connections among farmers.B.To study different technologies in farming.C.To find the new develop
32、ments of modern farming.D.To encourage farmers to use new farming method.31. What do the farmers mentioned in Paragraph 5 have in common? A.They all work in the city. B.They all use high technology.C.They all do hard physical work. D.They all work with universities.DMany people think that listening
33、is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well. Listening well also requires total concentration upon some
34、one else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketing. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening
35、 well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great th
36、at it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list
37、in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we dont want to hear.
38、It wasnt until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的). In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the root
39、s of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patients sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.32.What is mainly discuss
40、ed in Paragraph 2?A. What to listen to. B. How to listen well.C. Benefits of listening. D. Problems in listening.33.According to the author, in communication people tend to _.A. listen purposefully B. listen activelyC. set aside their prejudices D. open up their inner mind34.According to the author,

Science fiction. B. A news report.C. Popular science. D. A medical rep

43、a mask is one of the most effective ways to protect you from getting infected.Make sure to wear it properly by tightening up the nose clip and pulling the bottom of it over your chin.37, a mask is also needed to prevent you from spreading germs(病菌）to others.Cover your coughs and sneeze with tissue（纸
