British men are couch potatoes. They spend nearly half their free?time watching TV. They watch more TV than women, do less housework, less charity work and less childcare—but spend more time shopping, a poll(民意測(cè)驗(yàn)) suggests. Analysts(分析家) from Eurostat, the EU's statistical office, interviewed working men and women in 10 countries.?

Britain, where men devoted 49% of their free?time to the box, came a narrow second to the Hungarians with 51%.German and Norwegian men watched the least TV—just over one third of their spare time.?

The analysts took the average of the figures for the whole year including holidays and weekends. They broke down the “average day” into five categories(類)—free-time, sleep, meals and personal care, travel, domestic chores(家務(wù)事) and work or study. It shows that British men have four hours and 41 minutes free time each day—20 minutes more than women. But women spend nearly double the amount of time on domestic chores than men. Almost three-and-a-half hours of a woman's day is taken up with domestic work, compared to less than two hours for men.?

Food preparation makes up the bulk(量) of the chores, with leaning and shopping the next most time-consuming. They further broke down the free-time and domestic categories to show that men spend 137 minutes each day in front of the TV, compared to women's 114 minutes.

Women spend slightly more time socializing resting and reading than men, but slightly less time on hobbies, sport and exercise. Universally unpopular with both sexes is culture—accounting for just 2% of both men and women's leisure time.?

According to the passage, couch potatoes refer to _______.?

A. a kind of potatoes produced in Britain?

B. people spending much time sitting and watching television?

C. a kind of food offered by the English people?

D. people who like doing housework instead of watching TV?

A. Germany.   B. Norway.     C. Hungary.    D. Russia.?

What both men and women don't like in their spare time is _______.?

A. taking part in cultural activities       B. shopping?

C. enjoying their hobbies      D. doing domestic chores?

What would be the best title for the passage??

A. Domestic Chores—Only Women's Right?

A daughter’s duty? Adult daughters are often expected to caregiver for older parents. In 2007, Jorjan Sarich and her dad moved from California to Idaho. It was where he wanted to live his rest time.
“I left my occupation, I left my friends; he did the same thing,” said Sarich, who bought a house with her father, George Snyder, in the China Gardens neighborhood of Hailey after his health began to decline. Though a graduate student struggling to finish her dissertation（論文）, Sarich chose to be her dad’s full-time caregiver.
“It’s only now, several years later, that I’m realizing how much work it was. It’s the kind of exhaustion（疲憊）that sleep doesn’t cure,” she said.
About 6 million Americans provide care to elderly relatives or friends living outside of nursing homes. Laurel Kennedy, author of “The Daughter Trap” (Thomas Dunne Books, $25.95), says that women bear a disproportionate（不成比例的）share of the burden — about 70 percent of hands-on care giving such as bathing.
“I want to be clear: Women don’t hate this,” Kennedy said. “What they hate is that everyone just assumes they’ll do it.”
Kennedy is calling for a social revolution equal to the rise of affordable child care and day care: Employers should help working caregivers by offering accommodations. Men should step up more often. It’s unfair that women are always chosen to provide care for an elderly family member.
Despite the hard work it took on Sarich — interrupted sleep and the knowledge that his 2009 death was the end game, she would do it again. Since about half a century had gone by, she wasn’t the person he remembered, and he wasn’t the person she remembered either. Caring for her father changed how each saw the other.
【小題1】 Why did Jorjan Sarich caregiver for her father?

A．It was a very easy job.B．She had no work to do.
C．It was the social practice.D．She lived with her father.
【小題2】What can we infer from the book “The Daughter Trap”?
A．Daughters don’t like care giving.
B．Daughters devote a lot to care giving.
C．Care giving is daughters’ duty.
D．Care giving should be sons’ duty.
【小題3】What does the underlined phrase “a social revolution” refer to?
A．The child care revolution.B．The reform in day care.
C．The social development.D．The change in care giving.
【小題4】How many years did Jorjan Sarich work as her father’s full-time caregiver?
A．Five years.B．Only one year.C．Four years.D．Two years.
【小題5】In her care giving, Jorjan Sarich _____.
A．got along well with her fatherB．was a little tired of her father

Women make better drivers than men for many reasons. Why is that? Wouldn't you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointless (無意義的)? If you ask me, I'd like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth.
Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea where they are going. Women don't drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank ofgas only to find themselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever been in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he's made another wrong turn.
Speeding is what men do best on the road. Traffic is not a race. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because women trick to get out of tickets but only because they don't speed. Women don't risk putting their own lives and the lives of others in danger. In other words，they have more responsibility for life.
My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible. They're totally lost in loud music beyond a necessary level. You don't ever see women driving like that.
I feel that the above evidence（證據(jù)） more than proves (證明) my points that women are queens of the road. Oh ，men, if you want to continue criticizing (批評(píng)) women for being bad drivers，bring it on. We know you lack confidence, or else you wouldn't be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with.
【小題1】Who does the author think are the better drivers? (no more than 1 word)
_________________________________________________________________________
【小題2】When will women drivers stop to ask for help? (no more than 9 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
【小題3】Why do men get more speeding tickets (no more than 3 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
【小題4】What quality（品質(zhì)） do women drivers have when it comes to safety? (no more than 3 words)
_________________________________________________________________________
【小題5】How is the seat backed by most male drivers? (用完整的句子回答）

Claude and Louris are “giraffes”. So are police officers Hankins and Pearson. These men and women don’t look like giraffes; they look like you and me. Then, why do people call them “giraffes”?

A giraffe, they say, is an animal that sticks its neck out, can see places far away and has a large heart. It lives a quiet life and moves about in an easy and beautiful way. In the same way, a “giraffe” can be a person who likes to “stick his or her neck out” for other people, always watches for future happenings, has a warm heart for people around, and at the same time lives a quiet and beautiful life himself or herself.

“The Giraffe Project” is a 10-year-old group which finds and honors “giraffes” in the US and in the world. The group wants to teach people to do something to build a better world. The group members believe that a person shouldn’t draw his or her head back; instead, they tell people to “stick their neck out” and help others. Claude and Louris, Hankins and Pearson are only a few of the nearly 1,000 “giraffes” that the group found and honored.

Claude and Louris were getting old and they left their work with some money that they saved for future use. One day, however, they saw a homeless man looking for a place to keep warm and they decided that they should “stick their neck out” and give him some help. Today, they lived in Friends’ House, where they invite twelve homeless people to stay every night.

Police officers Hankins and Pearson work in a large city. They see crimes every day and their work is sometimes dangerous. They work hard for their money. However, these two men put their savings together and even borrowed money to start an educational center to teach young people in a poor part of the city. Hankins and Pearson are certainly “giraffes”.

56. Which of the following is true?

A. Some of the people around us look like giraffes.

B. Giraffes are the most beautiful animal in the world.

C. “Giraffes” is a beautiful name for those who are ready to help other people.

D. A “giraffe” is someone who can stick his neck out and see the future.

57. “The Giraffe Project” is a group _____.

A. of police officers        B. which appeared ten years ago

C. of ten-year-old children   D. which takes care of children

58. People call Claude and Hankins “giraffes” because they _____.

A. do what is needed for a good world       B. are not afraid of dangerous work

C. found a home for some homeless people   D. made money only for other people

59. The passage mainly tries to tell us _____.

A. what giraffes are like

B. what the Giraffe Project is

C. why Claude, Louris, Hankins and Pearson are called “giraffes” 

D. what we should do for a better world
