A woman named Emily renewing her drivers license at the Country Clerks office was asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation. She hesitated， uncertain how to classify herself.

“What I mean is，” explained the recorder， “do you have a job， or are you just a...”

“Of course I have a job，” Emily got in. “Im a mother.”

“We dont list ‘mother as an occupation... ‘Housewife covers it，” said the recorder emphatically （強調(diào)地）.

I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation， this time at our own Town Hall. The Clerk was obviously a career woman， confident， efficient， and possessed of a high sounding title like “Official Interrogator （訊問員）” or “Town Registrar （登記員）.” “What is your occupation？” she asked.

What made me say it， I do not know... The words simply came out suddenly and unexpectedly. “Im a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.” The clerk paused， ballpoint pen frozen in midair， and looked up as though she had not heard right. “Might I ask，” said the clerk with new interest， “just what you do in your field？”

Coolly and calmly， I heard myself reply， “I have a continuing program of research， in the laboratory and in， the field. Im working for my Masters， and already have four credits. Of course， the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities， and I often work 14 hours a day， and 24 is more like it. But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”

There was an increasing note of respect in the clerks voice as she completed the form， stood up， and personally showed me to the door.

As I drove into our driveway， proud of my “new” career， I was greeted by my lab assistants—ages 13， 7 and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model， a 6monthold baby， in the childdevelopment program， testing out a new vocal （發(fā)聲） pattern.

I felt triumphant （勝利的） ！ I had scored a beat on bureaucracy （官僚） ！ And I had gone on the official records as someone more glorious and necessary to mankind than “just another mother”.

42. What does the woman recorder mean by saying “Housewife covers it”？

A. “Housewife” is more important than “Mother”.

B. “Mother” is just “Housewife”.

C. Mother refers to a jobless woman.

Health food is a general term applied to all kinds of foods that are considered more healthful than the types of foods sold in supermarkets. For example， whole grains， dried beans， and corn oil are health foods. A narrower classification of health food is natural food. This term is used to distinguish between types of the some food. Raw honey is a natural sweetener， whereas refined sugar is not. Fresh fruit is a natural food， but canned fruit， with sugars and other additives （添加劑）， is not. The most precise term of all and the narrowest classification within health foods is organic food， used to describe food that has been grown on a particular kind of farm. Fruits and vegetables that are grown in gardens that are treated only with organic fertilizers （有機化肥）， that are not sprayed with poisonous insecticides， and that are not refined after harvest， are organic foods. Meat， fish， dairy and poultry products from animals that are fed only organically—grown feed and that are not injected with hormones （激素） are also organic foods.

In choosing the type of food you eat， then， you have basically two choices： inorganic， processed foods， or organic， unprocessed foods. A wise decision should include investigation of the reason why processed foods contain chemicals， some of which are proved to be toxic （有毒的） and why vitamin content is greatly reduced in processed foods.

Bread is typically used by health food advocates as an example of a processed food. First， the seeds from which the grain is grown are treated with a chemical which is extremely toxic. Later， the grain is sprayed with a number of very toxic insecticides. After the grain has been made into flour， it is made white with another chemical which is also toxic. Next， a dough conditioner is added， along with a softener. The conditioner and softener are poisons， and in fact， the softener has sickened and killed experimental animals.

A very toxic antifungal compound （抗真菌化合物）， is added to keep the bread from getting moldy.

Other foods from the supermarket would show a similar pattern of processing and preserving. You see， we buy our food on the basis of smell， color， and texture， instead of vitamin content， and manufacturers give us what we want， even if it is poisonous. The alternative？ Eat health foods， preferable the organic variety.

46. What is the main idea of this passage？

A. Health food.

B. The processing of bread.

C. Organic gardens.

D. Poisons.

47. Which term is used to distinguish between types of the same food？

A. Refined foods.B. Natural foods.

C. Organic foods.D. Unprocessed foods.

48. What do all of the additives in bread have in common？

A. They are all used to keep the bread from getting moldy.

B. They are all poisons.

C. They have all killed laboratory animals.

D. They are all organic.

49. What happens to food when it is processed？

A. The ultimate content remains the same.

B. Vitamin information is not available after processing.

C. Vitamin content is reduced altogether.

D. The vitamin content is greatly reduced.

50. We normally buy foods on the basis of .

A. organic varietyB. beauty

C. refined contentsD. color and texture

Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society， and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion？

In this fastpaced world， many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize （把……放在首位） caring， sharing and generosity in life and work， modern people seem to be more selfabsorbed and selfconcerned.

Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive， you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company， employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position， even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.

In spite of common practice， it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness， both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.

Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them？ There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.

In conclusion， modern people appear to be more selfcentered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However， we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.

五、One possible version：

Being a Popular Student

We all hope to be popular with our classmates and teachers. To enjoy popularity， we are supposed to regard the class as our big family and even offer to sacrifice our personal interests whenever necessary. While taking an active part in all our class activities， we should work responsibly to build up a good reputation as a team.

To be students with high popularity， we are to show respect， concern and sympathy for others. Whats more， we should never hesitate to lend a hand to those in need.

As far as I am concerned， to be a popular student， we ought to be strict with ourselves in everything we do at school and make every effort to achieve allround development， being good not only at our lessons but also at sports， music， painting， social services and so on. In time of success we remain modest， while in time of difficulty we should keep strongminded.

All in all， popularity among classmates and teachers comes naturally to those who keep improving their personal qualities.
