　　April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the United States and brought to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls' horizons（視野）and raise their self-confidence（自信）.

　　For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually, “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot, a nurse or a chief executive（主管）,”says the chairman of Our Sons and Daughters Chartable Trust, an organization which supported the activity of the Day. “Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work.”

　　Schools and many companies support the activity too. Palmers Green High School for girls in the north of London has made the Day a necessary part of careers education.

　　Zarina Bart, 15, from Palmers Green, went with her mother Gwen to her Lawyer's Office this year's Take Our Daughters to Work Day. “I learned how to fill in a legal aid（法律援助）and I read details（細(xì)節(jié)）of a case. Then I went to see the actual trial（審判）,” she said.

　　Zarina found it interesting to see her mother at work. “It's really strange seeing Mum at work--running around, getting serious and telling people what to do.” She has always liked the idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother's footsteps. Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.

　　Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.

The Danish (丹麥) architect of the iconic Sydney Opera House, Jorn Utzon, has died at the age of 90, after suffering a heart attack.

Mr. Utzon, an award-winning architect, put "Denmark on the world map with his great talent," said Danish Culture Minister Carina Christensen. Having won a competition in 1957 to design the building, he left the project before it opened in 1973. Mr. Utzon never visited the completed landmark, after disputes about costs. He had quarreled with the Australian client and the costs overran by 1,000%. Even decades later, he declined invitations to return to Australia, but did design, with his son, a new wing which opened in 2006. In 1998 he said, "It's part of education–I can't be bitter about anything in life."

Most of the interior（內(nèi)部）of the opera house was not completed according to his plans after government-appointed architects took over the job.

The Sydney Opera House planned to dim the lights on the sail-shaped roof on Sunday to mark Mr. Utzon's death.

The chairman of Sydney Opera House Trust, Kim Williams, said, "Jorn Utzon was an architectural and creative genius who gave Australia and the world a great gift. Sydney Opera House is core to our national cultural identity and a source of great pride to all Australians. It has become the most globally recognized symbol of our country."

Mr. Utzon also designed the National Assembly of Kuwait and several prominent buildings in Denmark.

Danish Minister of Culture Carina Christensen paid tribute to him, saying, "Jorn Utzon will be remembered as one of the Danes who in the 20th century put Denmark on the world map with his great talent."

Mr. Utzon won several international awards, including the Alvar Aalto Medal for architecture and France's Legion of Honour.

In 2003 he won the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize for his design of the opera house.

1. Which of the following is true about Mr. Jorn Utzon?

A．He was born in Demark and worked in Australia.

B．He left Australia before his design was completed.

C．He refused to go back to visit the Opera House all his life.

D．He disagreed with the government client on the building materials.

2.From the above passage we may NOT know ______.

A．what Mr. Utzon has contributed to the world

B．the exact time of Mr. Utzon’s birth and death

C．whether he had a family or not

D．when Opera House was completed

3. What did the Opera House plan to do to mark its designer’s death?

A．A memorial party would be held on Sunday.

B．Another award would be given out to Mr. Utzon’s son.

C．The lights on the roof of Opera House would become less bright.

D．Another wing would be designed to remember Mr. Utzon.

4. The most proper title of the above passage might be ______.

A．Sydney Opera House architect dies

C．Designer and builder of Opera House

D．Awards of the Opera House Architect
