As a result of President Bush's reform, retired people may have________ During the past generation, the American middle-class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure had been transformed by economic risk and new realities. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months. In just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to work, transforming basic family economics. Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well. Today's families have budgeted to the limits of their new two-paycheck status. As a result, they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setback — a back-up earner (usually Mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick. This "added-worker effect" could support the safety net offered by unemployment insurance or disability insurance to help families weather bad times. But today, a disruption to family fortunes can no longer be made up with extra income from an otherwise-stay-at-home partner. During the same period, families have been asked to absorb much more risk in their retirement income. Steelworkers, airline employees, and now those in the auto industry are joining millions of families who must worry about interest rates, stock market fluctuation, and the harsh reality that they may outlive their retirement money. For much of the past year, President Bush campaigned to move Social Security to a saving-account model, with retirees trading much or all of their guaranteed payments for payments depending on investment returns. For younger families, the picture is not any better. Both the absolute cost of healthcare and the share of it borne by families have risen — and newly fashionable health-savings plans are spreading from legislative halls to Wal-Mart workers, with much higher deductibles and a large new dose of investment risk for families' future healthcare. Even demographics are working against the middle class family, as the odds of having a weak elderly parent — and all the attendant need for physical and financial assistance — have jumped eightfold in just one generation. From the middle-class family perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like an opportunity to exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened shoulders. The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind.A、a higher sense of security.B、less secured payments.C、less chance to invest.D、a guaranteed future.

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. 1. Normally a student would at least attend __________classes each week. A) 36 B) 12 C) 20 D) 15 2. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.

What will man be like in the future – in 5, 000 or even 50, 000 years from now？ We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain ’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change tool the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man ’s eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair？ It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald! Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. The passage tells us about _____. A.how man’s life will be in the future B.how future man will look like C.the fact that man ’s organs will function differently in the future D.the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes There is evidence that man is changing _____.A.man has been growing taller over the past 500 years B.man has got stronger eyes than he ever had C.man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner D.man’s limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them Man’s forehead will grow larger because _____.A.he will use of only about 20% of the brain ’s capacity B.the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time C.he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago D.he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on Future man will probably ______.A.have smaller eyes B.have larger eyes C.see better D.gave to wear better glasses The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _____.A.is always B.never stops changing C.hopes for a change D.will live a different life

Dog owners say dogs are smarter. However, this may not be the case. Cats tend to hide their intelligence; they don’t want praise from their owners. Cats are independent,whereas dogs are social and mostly travel in groups. Because of this, many people believe that dogs are more intelligent, but the ways of measuring the intelligence of cats and dogs are different because they are different animals. Therefore, the intelligence of cats may be underestimated. The senses of cats are more developed than those of dogs. They hear and see better than dogs.The memory of cats is a lot better than that of dogs. Cats have both longterm and short-term memory. The memory of cats is two hundred times more than that of dogs. This means that the memory of cats is even better than that of monkeys and chimpanzees. Scientific American states that cats can hold 1000 times more “data storage” than an iPad. Cats have better cognition than dogs. It is true that dogs have a better social IQ than cats, but that doesn’t mean that they are smarter than cats. Cats can solve complex problems,and can also distinguish between complex shapes. Also, the observation of cats is greater than that of any other domestic animal. If something new and different enters a house, the cat can quickly figure out what it is. This makes training a cat very easy because it is able to observe what happens very quickly, and is able to learn quicker than a dog. In conclusion, cats have the brain, but they don’t want to show it because they don’t want love; they want food and just the basic necessities in order to survive. The Huffington Post says, “ Dogs come when they’re called; cats take a message and get back to you.” This quote can show us that maybe cats are the smarter ones.1.From the first paragraph, we know cats are ______.A.socialB.independentC.stupidD.lovely2.About the memory of animals, which one of the following is true?A.Dogs>Cats>MonkeysB.Cats>Dogs>MonkeysC.Monkeys >Cats > DogsD.Cats > Monkeys > Dogs3.What makes training a cat so easy?A.That the cat doesn’t want love.B.That the cat has a better social IQ.C.That the cat has better memory than the dog.D.That the cat can observe and learn more quickly.4.How is the passage mainly developed?A.By inferring.B.y comparing.C.By listing examples.D.By giving explanations.5.What is the best title of the text?A.Dogs Have Higher Social IQs than CatsB.The Reasons Why the Cats Are IndependentC.The Intelligence of Cats Is UnderestimatedD.ogs and Cats
