Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed  this morning as older sons and daughters to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers, But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.

   Mothers have long known that their home worked was just heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labors, they would earn as much as￡172,000 a year.

   The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡30, 000 more than the Prime Minister earns.

   By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18,it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.

   To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labor, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at ￡48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jibs”, with psychologist（心理學家）a close second.

It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional（情感的）emand as the hardest thing about motherhood.

Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.

The study shoes mothers matter all year long and not just on, Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing（投入）in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.

1.How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?

A. ￡30,000. B. ￡142,000. C. ￡172,000. D. ￡202,000.

2.The biggest challenge for most mothers is from        .

A. emotional demand B. low pay for work C. heavy workload D. lack of training

When The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6, it said：“Not Bob Dylan. That’s for sure.”

But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the organization.

Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.

In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal of folk music to him. Rock songs “weren’t serious enough or didn’t reflect life in a realistic way", according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness; more joy …much deeper feelings".

Dylan’s music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is most famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a -Changin (1964), which warns the world, “You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone. For the times they are a-changin！”

There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. But ancient “Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments — and it’s the same way with Dylan", the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN.

It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylan’s words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.

1.Dylan found folk music attractive because ________.

A. it brought joy to people

B. it could be used to express feelings freely

C. it reflected life on a much deeper level

D. it needed more creativity than other types of music

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article?

A. He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.

B. Most of his influential works were created in the 1960s.

C. His songs expressed people’s feelings well during the 1960s.

D. His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements.

3.According to the last two paragraphs, ________.

A. lyrics can be seen as a literary form

B. a literary prize should not be given to a singer

C. Dylan’s works were inspired by Greek poets

D. Dylan deserves the award because he influenced many songwriters

4.What’s the author’s attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature?

A. supportive B. objective C. sceptical D. ambiguous

Bob Dylan has own the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature, announced Sara Danius, Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary, on Oct. 13, 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden.

The Swedish Academy said it chose Dylan for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition. “As an artist, he is outstandingly all-round: he has been an active painter and actor," said the official statement. U. S. President Barack Obama congratulated Dylan on Twitter, describing him as one of his favorite poets.

Singer and songwriter Dylan is recognized worldwide for the influence he has had on music. He became a symbol of the 1960s counterculture (反主流文化) but his voice has reached widely into the American past. Since early in his career, Dylan has experimented with the combination of the literary and the musical.

Dylan had been mentioned in the Nobel prediction for years, but few experts expected the academy to extend the award to a genre (體裁) such as pop music. He’s the first American winner of the Nobel Literature Prize since Toni Morrison in 1992. The choice was met by a long round of applause from journalists attending the prize announcement. Sara Danius said that while Dylan performs his poetry in the form of songs, that’s no different from the ancient Greeks, whose works were often performed to music.

Dylan’s early rock classics such as The Times They Are A-Changin’, and A Hard Rains Gonna Fall, help to get cross the thoughts and feelings of the counterculture. The music publication Rolling Stone released a list of the “100 Greatest Bob Dylan Songs” in honor of his 75th birthday earlier this year.

1.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A. What Nobel Prize Dylan won in 2016.

B. How Dylan influences music worldwide.

C. Who congratulated Dylan on winning the prize.

D. Why Dylan was awarded the Nobel Literature Prize.

2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “extend” in Paragraph 4?

A. allocate B. deliver C. offer D. compensate

A. He is Barack Obama’s favorite finger.

B. He performs poetry in the form of songs.

C. He had never been expected to win a Nobel Prize.

D. He is the first American to win the Nobel Literature Prize.

4.What’s the journalists’ attitude towards Dylan’s winning the Nobel Literature Prize?

Love to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all — Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牽強的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.

Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.

All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.

American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen similar results. In May 2014, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europe’s first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.

The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers — it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.

1.According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that ________.

A. they have to exchange desks with each other

B. they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seats

C. there are no seats for them to sit in class

D. the officials show no sympathy to them at all

2.According to the teachers, older students may not like stand-up desks because ________.

A. they are cleverer than younger students

B. they are easily tired of standing long

C. they have formed the habit of sitting

D. they do badly in class while standing

3.What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial?

A. The standing desks can’t be used at all.

B. It is good for students to use stand-up desks.

C. More tests should be done in other schools.

D. The students are different in personality.

4.Why do the teachers like the standing desks?

A. Because the educators can draw the students’ attention.

B. Because the teachers can keep the students healthy.

C. Because the students can have a walk in the classroom.

D. Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated.

Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Accommodation Zones

Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential (居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.

Meal Plans available

Continental Breakfast

Breakfast and Dinner

Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner

It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice cereal (谷物類食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.

Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes

Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.
