Research by sociologists Scott Coltrance Michele Adams looked at national survey data and found that when men increase their share of housework and childcare, their children are happier, healthier and do better at school.What’s more, when school-aged children do housework with their fathers, they get along better with their peers and have more friends.And they show more positive behaviors than if they do the same work with their mothers.“Because fewer men do housework than women,” said Adams, “when they share the work,it has more influence on children.” Fathers model “co-operative family partnerships”.
When men share housework and childcare, it turns out, their partners are happier.Wives of egalitarian(主張人人平等的)husbands, regardless of class, report the highest levels of marital(婚姻的)satisfaction and lowest rates of depression,and are less likely to see therapists(治療專家).They are also more likely to stay fit, since they probably have more time on their hands.
And the benefits for men are even greater.Men who share housework and childcare are healthier--physically and psychologically.They smoke less, drink less, and take recreational drugs less often.They are more likely to stay in shape and more likely to go to doctors for routine screenings, but less likely to use emergency rooms or miss work due to illness.
In both Europe and the United States,Dad is becoming the “fun parent”.He takes the kids to the park and plays soccer with the kids; she stays home.“What a great time we had with Dad!” the kids announce as they burst through the kitchen door to a lunch mum prepared.
【小題1】We can infer from the first paragraph that .
A.fathers usually have greater influence on their children |
B.it's better for school-aged children to do housework with their mothers |
C.few boys would like to do housework |

As in the field of space travel, new technologies continue to appear in undersea exploration. They share a number of similarities with each other — as well as some important differences.
Manned submersibles (潛水器), like spaceships, must maintain living conditions in an unnatural environment. While a spaceship must simply be sealed against the vacuum space, a submersible must be able to bear extreme pressure if it is not to break up in deep water.
In exploring space, unmanned vehicles were employed before astronauts. In undersea exploration, on the other hand, men paved the way, and only recently have unmanned remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) been put to use.
One reason for this is that communicating with vehicles in orbit is much easier than talking to those underwater. A vacuum is an ideal medium for radio communications, but underwater communications are limited to much slower sound waves. Thus, most undersea vehicles — particularly ROVs — operate at the end of long ropes.(電纜終端)
For a similar reason, knowing where you are undersea is much more difficult than in space. A spaceship’s position can be located by following its radio signal, or by using telescopes and radar. For an undersea vehicle, however, a special network of sonar (聲納系統(tǒng))devices must be laid out in advance on the ocean floor in the area of a dive to locate the vehicle’s position.
Though undersea exploration is more challenging than outer space in a number of respects, it has a distinct advantage: going to the ocean depths doesn’t require the power necessary to escape Earth’s gravity. Thus, it remains far less expensive.
【小題1】The purpose of the passage is ______.
A.to persuade you to explore the depths of the ocean |
B.to stress the importance of the undersea exploration |
C.to make you believe that the undersea exploration is better |
D.to tell some differences between two kinds of explorations |
A.unmanned vehicles were used in the beginning |
B.men covered the ocean floor with stones and bricks |
C.manned vehicles were employed before unmanned ones |
D.men invented unmanned remote-operated vehicles in the past |
A.from time to time |
B.a(chǎn)fter the undersea vehicles dive |
C.before the undersea vehicles dive |
D.when the undersea vehicles are diving |
A.Submersibles usually break up in deep water. |
B.Undersea vehicles can receive signals immediately. |
C.Going to space needs power to escape the gravity. |
D.Radio communications are quite difficult in a vacuum. |

Rush hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the world. Commuters(上下班者)rush to and from their jobs in cars, buses, subways, trains, and 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 to their jobs and work for a few more hours.
In Tokyo, there's a big rush hour underground. Most of the people in Tokyo take the subways. The trains are very crowded. Subway employees called packers wear white gloves and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors close. They make sure that 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 they'll pay the cab driver double the usual fare. Some people even raise three fingers! They'll pay three times the normal rate。
Streets in Rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds(摩托自行車)during rush hours. The city can't make its streets wider, and it can't build new highways, because it doesn't want to disturb the many historic sites in the city, such as the Forum and the Coliseum. It took the city fifteen years to construct a new subway system. Construction had to stop every time workers found old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeologists(考古學家).
In many big cities, there are special lanes on highways for carpools. These are groups of three or more people who drive to and from work together. They share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city.
Getting to work and getting home can be difficult in many places around the world. Rush hour traffic seems to be a universal problem.

Today, almost everyone has heard of Harry Potter. The books detailing his experiences at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have aroused passion, creativity, and interest in reading throughout the world.
But have you ever considered why you are a fan of the Harry Potter series?
JK Rowling has created a list of characters and an environment for them to inhabit that appeals to both adults and children.
The fantasy aspect of the wizarding world expands the imagination, and takes the mind to new and exciting places. Anything could happen there. Her stories contain parts of the believable and unbelievable, changing the predictability that readers commonly come across and bear in fiction.
The main theme of the series, including good versus evil, prejudice, love, death, sacrifice, friendship and loyalty, in actuality contributes to the ever-lasting nature of the stories. At the same time, these themes remind us of classic literature, offering mature readers tales that wear like a comfortable pair of shoes, while introducing younger readers to concepts they will meet throughout their lives.
Much of the appeal also comes from the characters. In each book, JK Rowling introduces and describes the characters in such a way that we wonder not only about their futures, but also about their pasts. Even supporting characters are suddenly more than just extras in the background. And what of Harry Potter himself? We care about Harry, because we watch him grow from an innocent boy to a powerful wizard. We see him as both Hero and Victim. He experiences endless love and extreme pain, and as readers, we experience them with him.
This perfect combination of emotion, suspense and fantasy, together with the fact that JK Rowling is a superb storyteller is the reason why we are Harry potter fans. People are fond of Harry Potter series. With books like these, it’s hard not to be.
1. Harry Potter series become popular partly because ____________.
A. they remind us of the childhood and environment we had in the past
B. they take us to a world beyond our imagination and expectation

2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. The supporting characters are not necessary in the story.
