21、ily life, a new study suggests. The study, which followed more than 1, 300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative“spillover”between work and home lifeand, in turn, less satisfaction with their family
22、life. Spillover essentially (本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instanceor family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call mom at work, telling her “
23、microwave exploded”,explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home. This may be especially true for worki
24、ng women, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time. But for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected”meant that work cut into home time, and family issues came into work life. Cell phones
25、seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, could look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are“reasonable”. For their p

30、项。For my grandmothers 70th birthday, my family and I visited South Korea. While there, I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.I was surprised by how different Koreas public high schools are from Americas. Korean high schools can be all-girls, all-boys or co-ed (男女同校的）unlike our standard
31、 co-ed high schools. There are three grades: “go 1（10th) ”， “go 2” (1l th) and “go 3” (12th). “Go”is the first syllable of the word “go-deung hakkyo”, which, simply translated, is “high school”.In America, unless you want to go to a private school, you dont have to take an entrance exam. In Korea, h
32、owever, students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools. Another difference I couldnt help but notice was the students appearance. With very few exceptions, all wear uniforms. A name tag (标牌)with the students name, grade and homeroom number must also be worn. Girls skirts
33、cant be above the upper part of the knee, and it is forbidden to dye (染)your hair or wear accessories (装饰品)except small earrings. There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness, and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style, socks and shoes.The fina
34、l difference was the setup of the classes. There may be 40 students in a classroom, but the number can be less or even more, depending on the population of the town or city. Although there are many students per classroom, they are very close, which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for
35、different subjects. There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms. They just have ten-minute breaks between subjects. In each class, students are ranked by their grades. This causes strict competition, and Korean students do a lot of studying. To help them,
36、all schools have extra study classes after school. One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on Saturdays. Although its only a half day, I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.Koreas public h
37、igh schools are clearly different from Americas. I had imagined them to be just like our schools, but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.59. How many main differences are mentioned between Koreas public high school and Americas?A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.60. It seems that the writer _
38、.A. is familiar with the education system of high schools in KoreaB. is fond of Korean students appearanceC. prefers the high school life of America to the one of KoreaD. feels it common to have lessons on weekends61. What does the underlined word setup in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Arrangement. B
39、. Size. C. Number. D. Outline.62. According to the rules, the students of Korea can _ .A. go to different high schools without exams B. wear any clothes except uniforms at schoolC. attend different classes as they likeD. have different hair styles【文章大意】议论文。本文作者通过在韩国旅游的经历，描写了韩国的高中学校与本国学校的不同点。并且表示自己还是
