In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of "mastery"—feeling important and worthwhile—and the sources of what we call a sense of "pleasure"—finding life enjoyable—are not always the same.Women often are told "You can't have it all." Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: "You choose a career, so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life." or "You have a wonderful husband and children—what's all this about wanting a career?" But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.

    Our study shows that, for women, well-being(康樂) has two aspects.One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression.Mastery is closely related to the "doing" side of life, to work and activity.Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism.It is tied more closely to the "feeling" side of life.The two are independent of each other.A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa (反之亦然) .For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.

    The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes.In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being.But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important.And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work.In our study, all the groups of employed women are valued significantly higher in mastery than women who are not employed.

    A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple (多項(xiàng)的) roles.At least ?by middle adulthood, the women who are involved in a combination of roles —marriages, motherhood, and employment —are the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.

It can be inferred from the first paragraph that __    __.

    A.for women, a sense of "mastery" is more important than a sense of "pleasure"

    B.for women, a sense of "pleasure" is more important than a sense of "mastery"

    C.women can't have a sense of "mastery" and a sense of "pleasure" at the same time

    D.a(chǎn) sense of "mastery" and a sense of "pleasure" are both necessary to women

The author's attitude towards women having a career is_    __.

    A.negative         B.positive        C.neutral (中立)     D.realistic

One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, _    __.

    A.her life will be richer and more meaningful

    B.she will be more successful in her career

    C.her chances of getting promoted will be greater

    D.it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain

The most appropriate title for the passage would be _    __.

    A.The Well-Being of Career Women

    B.Sources of Mastery and Pleasure

    C.Two Aspects of Women's Well-Being

    D.Multiple Roles of Women in Society

The law says women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them. The reality is very different. Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act, many of them still get paid less than men. They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won’t consider. And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children. All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government’s women’s unit. The biggest problem isn’t equal pay in workplaces such as factories. It is the sort of work women do.
Make a list of low-paid-jobs,  then consider who does them. Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies and child-care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there? Yet some of those jobs are really important. Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start. So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women. This is not going to be put right overnight. But the government, which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start.
It is disgraceful(可恥的) that we have gone into the 21st century still treating women like second-class citizens. 
【小題1】
Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and getting the same pay as men_________.

A.a(chǎn)fter 25 years
B.a(chǎn)ccording to the law

D.because women are as strong as men
【小題2】
.We can learn from the text that what really matters in this problem is_________.
A.that women interrupt a career to have children
B.what sort of work women do
C.because they are women
D.what unfair pay women get in workplaces
【小題3】
.Which of the following best describe the writer’s idea?
A.Women and men should get equal pay for equal work.
B.Women should strengthen themselves.
C.The government ought to protect women against getting paid less than men.
D.Some of the jobs that women do are of great importance.
【小題4】
Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

It has always been said that women are not good drivers, because they simply don’t have very good driving ability. On the other hand, most car accidents happen to men; very few happen to women.
From this, we can see that women are much more careful while driving. Another very interesting fact that we should point out is that in the past, women preferred to let their husbands be the only driver in the family rather than have a driving license. Somehow they were prevented from making this step in their lives, but nowadays there are many women that want to pass their driving tests from an early age.
However, we have to admit that men are more skillful drivers than women, but this does not mean that a woman cannot become a good driver by accumulating(積累) experience. So more and more teenagers and women around the age of thirty now want to pass their driving tests. While taking their driving lessons, they also have a number of special lessons with their parents or somebody in the family that has a driving license, this is just to improve their driving abilities and help them to pass the tests more easily.
To conclude, we can say that women are not such bad drivers. They just need more experience than men in order to be able to drive well. And on the other hand, there are a number of women that show better driving skills than the men around them.
【小題1】Compared with the past, nowadays many women ______.

A.have more accidents while drivingB.prefer to have a driving license
C.a(chǎn)re somehow prevented from drivingD.a(chǎn)re the only driver in the family
【小題2】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Teenage girls cannot take driving tests.
B.Men didn’t allow women to drive in the past.
C.Women can easily pass their tests by taking driving lessons.
D.With enough experience, women can become good drivers.
【小題3】The passage mainly talks about ______.
A.why men are better drivers than women
B.men and their driving ability
C.women and their driving ability
D.why more women like to have a driving license

Section B

Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.?

In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” — feeling important and worthwhile — and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”— finding life enjoyable — are not always the same. Women often are told “You can’t have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you can’t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children — what’s all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.

Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa(反之亦然). For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.

And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.

A woman’s well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles — marriages, motherhood, and employment — were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來源:2014屆江蘇省高一第一學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試題 題型:閱讀理解

What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from  you. You say “I wish I could help you, but I am short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?

Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better lies than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it’s terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise that they have no intention of carrying out. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.

Research has been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now”. They also tend to touch certain parts of the face, particularly the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.

Another gesture that gives liars away is what the writer Decmond Morris in his book Man Watching calls the “mouth cover”. He says that there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touch the upper lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side off the mouth. Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious(未察覺的) attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself from lying.

Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, moving about in a chair can not be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to happen more often in this situation. It is one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and in particular the context(上下文) which the lie is told.

1.According to the passage, a white lie seems to be a lie ______.

A. that other people believe   

B. that other people don’t believe

C. told in order not to hurt someone’s feelings

D. told in order to take advantage of someone

2.Research suggests that women _____.

A. are better at telling less serious lies than men

B. generally lie for more than men do

C. often make promises they intend to break

D. lie at parties more often than men do

3.Researchers find that when a person tells lies _____.

A. his blood pressure increases measurably

B. he looks very serious

C. he is likely to make some small changes in his behavior

D. he uses his unconscious mind

4.The writer of the passage______.

A. hates lying      B. enjoys lying     C. often tells a lie   D. tries to study about lying

5.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a sign of lying ?

A. Touching one’s ears                 B. Rubbing the nose 

C. Moving in a chair                D. Covering the mouth
