Passage FourAlan Lakein, a time management expert, thinks that nothing is a total waste of time, including doing nothing at times. If you arrange things so that you find time to relax and“do nothing"，you will get more done and have more fun doing it.One of his clients, a space engineer, didn' t know how to “do nothing ”. Every minute of hisleisure time was scheduled with intense activities. He had an outdoor-activites schedule in which he switched from skiing to tennis. His girlfriend kept up with him in these activities, although she would have preferred just to sit by the fire and relax once in a while. Like too many people, he felt the need to be doing something all the time, for doing nothing seemed a waste of time. His“relaxing by the fire" consisted of playing chess, reading magazines, or checking emails.For an experiment, Alan asked him to" waste" his time for five minutes during one of their sessions together. What the engineer ended up doing was relaxing, stting quietly and daydreaming. When he was finally able to admit that emotional reasons caused him to reject relaxing as waste of time, he began to look more critically at that way of thinking. Once he knew that relaxing was a good use of time, he became less serious about being busy and started enjoying each activity more. Previously he had been so busy doing that he had no time to have fun at anything. He began to do less and have more fun. When Alan saw the client about three years later, he still had as busy a schedule as ever, but he was able to balance his activity with relaxing so that he came back to work Monday morning not feeling tired out from a busy weekend but refreshed.What made the engineer reject relaxing?

Most parents,I suppose,have had the experience of reading a bedtime story1their children.And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a2children'sbook.Either the author has aimed(定目标）too3,so that children can't follow whatis in his(or more often,her)story,4the story seems to be talking to the readers.

The best children's books are 5very difficult nor very simple,and satisfy(令人满意的）the6 who hears the story and the adult(成年人）who 7it.Unfortunately（不幸的是），there are in fact few books like this,8 the problem of finding the rightbedtime story is not 9to solve.This may be why many of the books regarded as10of children's literature(文学）were in fact written for11 “Alice in Wonderland"is perhaps the most obvious(明显）of thisChildren,left for themselves,often12the worstpossible interest in literature just leave a child in a bookshop or a13and he will morewillingly choose the books written in an unimaginative(开非想象的）way.orhavelook at the most children’s comics(连环图书），full of the stories and jokes which ate the rejectionsof teachers and righting-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop14 to brainwash(洗脑）children into accepting（接受）our taste in literature.After all,children and adults are so15 that we parentsshould not expect that they will enjoy the same books.So I suppose we'll just have to compromise(妥协）over the bedtime story.9（单选）

There here have been great changes in the lives of womanDuring the twentieth century thewas an unusual shortening of the time of g woman's.lifespentin caring for children.A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, andwould be likely to have seven or eight children.of whom four or five lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen.the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years.(during whichcustom,chance and health made it unusual or her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer children.Usuallya woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器）and convenience foods.

This important change in women's way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job.However,when they married,they usually left,work at once and never returned to it..Today the school-leaving age is six-teen,many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Very many more afterwards,return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to anew relationship in marriage,with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the dutiesand satisfaction of family life,and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home,according to the abilities and interest of each them.5.According to the passage,it is now quite usual for women to（）

18.There were many different cultures in the ancient world, but the two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman. Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds, as if they were really exactly alike. But that is not the case. In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different.The Greeks were truly democratic, often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people. The Romans were semi-democratic. They had a governing Senate, but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders. But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different. The Greeks tended to be more artistic. Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples, columns, and decorative forms. The Romans, on the other hand, were more engineers than artists. They concentratedtheir efforts on urban planning, well-functioning water pipes, and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar. Both peoples ate very well indeed: lots of fish,fresh vegetables and fruits, healthy meals, holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines.In fact, it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm, sea-oriented climates, and they both lived a full life.What is the first paragraph about?

19.根据以下资料，回答66-69题。We first think of the traditional or nuclear family．This is a two-generation family, the father and the mother and their own children．Most couples wanted to have four children, two boys, two girls. 　　Some nuclear families, however, may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them, that is three generations．This kind of family with grandparents, parents, and grandchildren is called an extended family．This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century, but it's becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter．This is more possible now that American homes have become larger．What is interesting, however, is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families, this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family, with just two generations again living together, a grandparent and parents, with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits． 　　Now, the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family．In the fatherless family it's just the mother and her children．As I said, this can be the result of the husband's death, of an unmarried mother, of a separation or divorce．There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children, for any of the same reasons．A motherless family may also be fatherless, but still a family with one adult．This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter's children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work. 　　One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common．A single parent with one or more children will marry again．Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent．Together they will start what is called a blended family, which blends together or combines the children from two other families.68 What is true to the fact in America?
