Jeans

Jeans are a kind of trousers made of a heavy strong cotton material called denim.Jeans had to be strong and hard-wearing because they were initially worn by workers in the factories,mines,ports and building sites of the USA in the 1880s.They were also worn by cowboys.Jeans had to be tough.

Similar work trousers were made in Genoa,Italy,in the mid-1800s from denim obtained from a French city called Nimes.In fact,the word“jeans”comes from Genoa,and the word denim comes from Nimes.Jeans,as we know them today,were invented by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis in 1872.The defining difference was the metal rivets,small pieces of metal that strengthened the points of stress such as on the pocket corners or at the bottom of the zipper.Zippers had been invented in 1851 and were originally called automatic continuous clothing closings.

Jeans have enjoyed continuous popularity as a work“uniform”ever since.However,at the beginning of the rock and roll era in the 1950s,jeans became a symbol of American youth culture.They also became a symbol for youth rebellion when James Dean wore them in the classic movie,“Rebel without a Cause”.Since that time jeans have remained a popular item of casual fashion clothing.Do you know anyone who has never owned a pair of jeans?

According to market research,North America is the most popular place for jeans,accounting for 39%of world-wide purchase in 2011.That amounted to$14,000,000,000.Next was Europe with 20%,followed by Korea and Japan at 10%each.The average American owns seven pairs of jeans.

From simple beginnings as work trousers,jeans have gone through many changes.At first women's jeans had the zipper at the side.It wasn't until the 1960s that both men's and women's jeans had front opening zippers.Initially jeans were loose and shapeless because they were made for comfort and ease of movement.Nowadays you can get loose fitting,high cut,low cut,boot cut and jeans that are so tight you wonder how people can get into them.You can get jean shirts,jean jackets,work jeans,designer jeans and jeans for children and babies.

Along with Coca-Cola,McDonald's hamburgers,the Statue of Liberty,Disney movies and the Stars and Stripes,jeans must be one of the most common symbols of American global cultural influence.

Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield is probably the most famous of New Zealand writers.She is best known for her short stories,many of which are set in her home town,Wellington.

Mansfield was born on 14 October 1888 and you can still visit her birth place at 11 Tinakori Road in Wellington.The family later moved to Karori.Today,Karori is part of Wellington city,but in the 1880s it was a country district where the Mansfields owned a large piece of land and kept animals on their property.

Mansfield started writing young.When she was eight,she won a prize for a story.She continued writing stories as she progressed through school in Wellington.In 1903,Mansfield sailed for London with her family because she and her two older sisters were going to a private boarding school for young ladies in London.At the school,she met Ida Baker who became her life long friend.Throughout her three years in England,she continued to write and was introduced to the social life of London.

In 1906,Mansfield returned to Wellington,but she missed London and wanted to return to the excitement of her life as a writer.At first her father would not allow her to go,but in 1907,several of her stories were sold in Australia and this made her father change his mind.In the following year at the age of nineteen,Mansfield sailed for England again.She never returned to her native country.

Mansfield led rather a wild life after her return to London.She fell in love,got married,left her husband and travelled in Europe where she met a number of famous writers.She continued to write stories.In 1911 she met and later married John Middleton Murry who supported her in her writing.

In 1918,Mansfield's health started to fail.She was suffering from tuberculosis,a serious disease which at that time usually resulted in death.Her doctors recommended that she live in Europe where the weather was warmer so she moved there with her friend Ida Baker.She continued writing as much as she could but in 1923 she died at the age of 35.

Even though Katherine Mansfield had left New Zealand never to return,much of her best work was based on her early life.“The Garden Party”and“At the Bay”were both based on her childhood memories of Wellington.

According to old Ethiopian stories,coffee was discovered 1,000 years ago by a farmer called Kaldi.One day Kaldi noticed that his animals were very lively and excited.He realised that they were eating the small red fruit growing on the trees on the hillside.He decided to try them himself,and when he did he liked the taste and the good feeling of energy that followed.He put some of them in his pocket and went home to tell his wife.She said the beans must have been sent from heaven and that Kaldi must take them to the monks in the temple.The monks said the beans were the work of the devil,and threw them into the fire.Soon the wonderful smell of roasting coffee beans filled the temple.The roasted beans were rescued from the fire and the monks poured boiling water over them to stop the smell.That night the monks sat up late,drinking the wonderful liquid that they had discovered.

Another version of the story is that the monks used to eat the beans to keep awake during their long nights of prayer.Kaldi and the monks lived in an area of Ethiopia called Kaffa and that is where the name coffee originated.

Today coffee is the world's second most popular drink after tea and Ethiopia continues to produce some of the finest coffee beans in the world.Today in Kaffa,a large proportion of the coffee grows wild in the forests and on the hills and the coffee industry employs over twelve million people.

As well as being an export earner for Ethiopia,making and drinking coffee is an important social custom when entertaining guests in an Ethiopian home.The process starts with the dried green beans.These are roasted over a small wood fire,continuously stirred by the woman of the house and giving off a delicious smell.After the beans turn a very dark brown,they are ground and the coffee is prepared in a special coffee pot.The coffee is served in small cups with sugar or sometimes salt.It is traditional to be served three small cups.

Coffee prepared this way is absolutely delicious but it's not only the taste that is important.It is the occasion.Coffee is the time for talking,relaxing,forgetting about the worries of life or discussing them with friends,neighbours and family.

Children learn quickly.Research shows that fast brain development occurs in children younger than three years of age.Everyday parental activities such as reading,singing,and others can play a very important role in the healthy development of a child.Experts suggest that the single most important activity for building the knowledge required for success in reading is reading aloud to children.This is especially so during the preschool years.

While listening to stories read from a book,children learn at a young age that the letters on the page are connected to the words in our spoken language.They also become familiar with the language in books.Parents help children develop a love for books by reading aloud stories from books.

Reading aloud to children when they are young can help their understanding of the world in which they live.They can“travel”the world through the pages of books.Consider the example of Anthony,whose mother has read to him since birth.She says,“His first visit to the zoo was a journey of rediscovery.”Rediscovery?Yes,although Anthony was seeing zebras,lions,giraffes,and other animals for the first time,he had already been introduced to them.His mother further explains,“Anthony has become familiar with countless people,animals,objects and ideas,all between the covers of books,in his first two years of life.”(228 words)

Item One

In my time here at college,I have picked up many valuable pieces of advice from others,and have come up with a few of my own.With my time here drawing to a close,here is two of the most valuable ones I wish I had known as a freshman.

First,do not expect to join all the clubs here.Taking part in them is good,but the workload here is too heavy and time with your friends is too limited to devote yourself to a million and one clubs.Find a couple of things you dig,and you will find yourself much happier than if you had spent your time joining every single organization that sounds somewhat interesting to you.Also,do not always think of your free time in terms of organizations you can join.Getting really good at something—an instrument,creative writing,cooking—is just as good as a use of your free time.

Second,when Socrates said“Know Yourself”,he was talking about your sleep schedule.You can fool yourself into thinking that a class at eight thirty in the winter morning is the perfect way to get your day started,but you soon may find yourself emailing the teacher with excuses for being absent.I have found that the way to take classes is to load them in the middle of the day;nothing before nine fifty in the morning.(237 words)

Item Two

The way people in the United States travel to and from work has changed a lot in the last fifty years.Before the Second World War,most people lived in the city where they worked.Almost everyone either walked to work or used a good inexpensive transportation system.

In the forties,the government built many new roads and highways.People moved farther and farther from the city because they could drive their cars on these new roads from their homes to work in the city.As people stopped using public transportation,cities spent less money to fix old buses and trains or to buy new ones.Public transportation got worse and worse.

In the sixties,people found out that the increase in the use of cars led to many problems.There were always too many cars for the highway system.People were spending hours in traffic jams getting to and from work every day.In addition,the air in many cities became dirty because of pollution from cars,and many people died in traffic accidents.

When gas became very expensive in the seventies,the number of people taking public transportation began to increase.Because it is terribly expensive to build new public transportation systems,it is very difficult to make big changes in the way people travel,but an increase in the use of public transportation has begun.(228 words)

Two years ago,Dimas Aliprandi and Elton Plaster didn't know of each other's existence.Then they learned they had been switched at birth by mistake more than 20 years ago.The discovery didn't bring bitterness.Rather,it led to the creation of a bigger family.

The chain of events started with Dimas,who was always wondering why he did not look like the four sisters he grew up with.He was 14 when his doubts grew after watching a TV news report on babies getting switched at birth because of mistakes at hospitals.He wanted to do a DNA test,but it was too expensive for the family.

A decade later,Dimas did it on his own.The DNA test showed that he was not the birth son of the man and woman who had raised him.The news was a shock for his parents.They at first refused to believe the results,but eventually decided to help him look for his biological parents.

The search began at the Madre Regina Protmann Hospital where records were checked.The hospital searched its records and found Elton Plaster was born there on the same day.

The records led Dimas to the 35-acre farm where Plaster lived with his parents,Nilza and Adelson,in the town of Santa Maria de Jetiba,about 30 miles from the Aliprandi home in Joao Neiva.After tests,the Plasters discovered that Elton was the biological son of the man and woman that Dimas had been calling Mom and Dad for 24 years.Meanwhile,the couple Elton had always regarded as his biological parents were Dimas'parents.

About a year ago,Aliprandi and the parents who raised him accepted an offer from the Plasters to move to their farm,where they built a home.

“This is the way it should be,”Adelson Plaster recently told Globo TV.“We are all together and I now have two sons living and working here.”

1.Who was the first to discover the baby switch?

A.Globo TV. B.The hospital. C.Elton Plaster. D.Dimas Aliparandi.

2.Where do the Aliprandis now live?

A.In Sao Paulo. B.In Joao Neiva.

C.In Santa Maria de Jetiba. D.In Madre Regina Protmann.

3.What did the Aliprandis do when they knew about the baby switch?

A.They went to Globo TV for more information.

B.The helped Dimas find his birth parents.

C.They switched the hospital's records.

D.They took another DNA test.

4.Who are Elton Plaster's biological parents?

A.The Plasters. B.The Aliparndis.

C.Dimas and Elton. D.Nilza and Adelson.

In many respects,Katsura Okiyama is a typical Japanese woman in her 20s.She enjoys spending time with her friends and loves Disney.But,less typically,she is a writer.And,quite exceptionally,her medium is a cell phone.

In Japan,not only are people reading novels on their cell phones;they're also writing novels with them—uploading SMS-length chapters to specialist websites where they are in turn downloaded to the phones of millions of readers.The most popular are printed as books and sell in the hundreds of thousands.In book form,K.Okiyama's first cell-phone novel is 235 pages long.“I think I was writing 20 pages in two hours per day at the most,and it took me almost a month,”she says.

Although she was used to writing around 100 text messages daily,Okiyama never expected that thumbing her keypad would enable her to become one of the country's hot new writers.“I had never written a story,”she says.“I never had the idea of how a real novel should be,so that might be why I could do it.”

“Cell-phone novels are created and consumed by a generation of young people in Japan that demands to be heard,”says John Possman,an entertainment consultant.“It is truly pop culture.It has also become big business,shaking up a publishing industry whose sales have been declining for a decade.”

Individual voices are hard to find,however.As dictated by the medium,the language of cellphone novels is simple and peppered with emoticons—signs that represent various attitudes or emotions.Dialogue and description are scarce.Subject matter is always the same.Typically,a heroine loses her first love and then later struggles to find love again.

“The stories are often told in the first person and lack diversity,”agrees Possman.But that hasn't been a problem with consumers yet.“Why don't you write a novel and move me?”read one angry schoolgirl's recent online post,in response to a fierce opponent of cell-phone novels.So far,Japan's literary establishment hasn't come up with an answer.

9.In Japan,cell-phone writers________.

A.upload their stories bit by bit to websites

B.pay to have their novels printed as books

C.spend almost one month to finish a novel

D.send SMS-length texts to readers'phones

10.According to Katsura Okiyama,she is able to write because_________.

A.she has an insight into literature B.she has training in storytelling

C.she is skilled in text messaging D.she is free from literary rules

11.According to John Possman,the Japanese publishing industry_________.

A.is pushed forward by the pop culture

B.is strengthened by cell-phone novels

C.has been shrinking for many years

D.has been creating a generation of young readers

12.We learn from the text that cell-phone novels_________.

A.feature moving dialogues B.have different writing styles

C.lack variety in subject matter D.encourage readers to read others

测试说明:在这部分中,有五个人对一篇刊登在杂志上名为“The Global Fish Crisis”的文章发表了自己的看法。阅读完毕后,请完成后面的人物与观点的配对题,从七句陈述中为每个人找出与其观点一致的一句陈述。

Tom Hagen:

I am a commercial fisherman in Alaska.It was an eye-opener to see the destruction and waste in the world's fisheries.The Alaska salmon fishery is very well managed,and we don't see the destruction occurring elsewhere.Many local people complain of the many restrictive laws in the fishery,but after reading this article,I'm in favor of even stricter regulation.The sea is the basis for life on Earth,and we must take care of it.

Jimmy O'Brien:

You didn't touch the fishing here in the U.S.where the fisherman is working under the harshest regulations on Earth and the strictest equipment restrictions.We are fishing in a fashion that is completely environmentally friendly as required under the Magnuson-Stevens Act.The U.S.keeps importing more fish from countries that have no requirements on equipment or on their catch.U.S.fishermen cannot compete with foreign prices so the fishermen's numbers have been reduced.

Tiffany Miller:

I was shocked at the utter lack of regard that the commercial fishing industry has for its very own resources.I'd like to ask these same fishermen who say that they cannot make a living on the catch limits set for them:How are you going to make a living when all the fish are gone?

Nathan Kennedy:

You failed to note the obvious root cause of the global fish crisis,which is not new technologies but the explosion of world population.There simply are not enough fish in the ocean to feed us,and all the fisheries management and conservation in the world will do nothing to stop overfishing if nothing is done to stem the unsupportable demand for human consumption.

Peter Paul:

As a person with some 35 years of membership in various conservation groups,and after writing thousands of emails,letters,and protest forms,I arrived at the sad conclusion that nothing I did mattered one bit.When the catch drops below the cost of operating expenses,the industry will die,taking the health of the ocean with it.We will then all stand back and wonder why we let it happen.

请从右栏的七句陈述中为每个人找出与其观点一致的一句陈述。注意:每个人对应一句陈述;右栏中有两句陈述是多余的。

Statements

1.Tom Hagen A.Overfishing results from extensive use of new technologies.

2.Jimmy O'Brien B.Many people in my place support stricter regulation on fishing.

3.Tiffany Miller C.I think that you failed to point out the real reason for overfishing.

4.Nathan Kennedy D.We are in a very weak position to compete with other countries in fishing.

5.Peter Paul E.Sooner or later,we will feel regretful about our current fishing practice.

F.I didn't know there were such damaging ways of fishing around the world.

G.I wonder if those fishermen have ever considered the consequences of exhausting ocean resources.

I remember clearly the last time I cried.I was twelve years old,in the seventh grade,and I had tried out for the junior high school basketball team.I walked into the gym;there was a piece of paper on the wall.

It was a cut list.They boys whose names were on the list were welcome to keep on coming to practices.The boys whose names were not on the list had been cut;their presence as no longer desired.

I had not known the cut was coming that day.I stood and stared at the list.The list had not been made with a great deal of consideration;the names of the very best players were at the top,and the other members of the team were listed in what appeared to be a descending order of basketball skills.I kept looking at the bottom of the list,hoping against hope that my name would appear if I looked hard enough.

I held myself together as I walked out,but when I got home I began to cry.For the first time in my life,I had been told officially that I wasn't good enough.Sports meant everything to boys that age;if you were on the team,it put in the desirable group.If you were not,you might as well not be alive.

All these years later,I remember it as if I were still standing right there in the gym.I don't know how the mind works in matters like this;I don't know what went on in my head following that day of cut.But I know that my determination has been so strong ever since then:I know that for all of my life since that day.I have done more work than I had to be doing,put in more hours than I had to be spending.I don't know if all of that came from a determination never to allow myself to be cut again—never to allow someone to tell me that I'm not good enough again—but I know it's there.And clearly it's there in a lot of other successful men too...

Questions:

1.Whose names were on the cut list?

2.Why do you think the author acted so strongly about the cut?

3.May we infer from the text that the author has become quite successful in life?Why or why not?

4.What does the underlined word“it”in the last paragraph refer to?

New York—By studying blindfolded college students who move through grass to find a chocolate scented path by smelling,researchers say they've found evidence of a human smelling ability that scientists thought impossible.

The study shows that human brain compares information it gets from each nostril to determine where a smell is coming from.And it suggests dogs and mice and some other mammals do the same thing,unlike what most scientists have thought.

People compare signals from each ear to determine the direction of a noise.But most scientists'idea has been that mammals can't do it in the same way for smells,because their nostrils are too close together to get different signals.

“We debunkedthat,”said Noam Sobel of the University of California,Berkeley,who reported the new results Sunday with graduate student Jess Porter and others on the Website of the magazine Nature Neuroscience.

The report isn't the first to suggest the two-nostril idea.But Sobel and his team have now“opened the doors for full consideration of it,”said a researcher familiar with the work.

Most of the paper focuses on what a group of undergraduate psychology students could do in a garden on the Berkeley campus.

Our outdoor experiment was designed to see if people could use just their noses to follow a 30-foot-long path of chocolate scent through the grass.

The path was laid out with scented ropes.But the 32 students were blindfolded and equipped with thick gloves to make sure they couldn't see or feel it.

Two-thirds of the students succeeded in following the scent.Another experiment found that the volunteers succeeded only one-third of the time with one nostril taped shut.

Questions:

5.What human ability does Sobel's study focus on,smelling,hearing,touching or moving?

6.What is the most commonly held idea among most scientists?

7.In Sobel's study,what were the students asked to do?

8.What does the underlined word“debunked”in paragraph 4 mean?

Lately,presidents of some American universities have added inflation to their worry list.They are not concerned about inflation of prices,but of academic grades.Larry Summers,president of Harvard,recently caused a storm when he told one of the university's professors he didn't like grade inflation.

Insiders say that nearly half the grades Harvard awards have lately been A or A minus—a lot more than in the 1980s.Is this trend a bad thing,in fact?And is this grade inflation really“inflation”?

To take the second question first,the answer is No,not strictly speaking.“Inflation”in grades ought to mean that work of a given standard would be awarded an ever higher grade,year by year.The highest permissible grade would therefore have to keep rising in a ceaseless procession of nonimprovement.Because in reality the top grade is fixed,the process is not so much grade inflation as grade compression.This is worse:a distortion in relative prices is more confusing than a uniform upward drift.Grade compression squeezes information out of the system.

But is grade inflation necessarily a bad thing?The answer depends on who you are.When students leave Harvard,they carry grades as a sort of currency:a pocketful of intellectual capital,to bid for jobs or places in graduate schools against graduates from other universities with other currencies.These positions go to those who can put the most academic cash on the table.Employers and graduate schools must decide on the exchange rate,as it were,between a Harvard C student and an A student from a less distinguished place.

Again,overall grade inflation—the uniform devaluation of the students'capital would be relatively easy to cope with,working in principle neither to the advantage or disadvantage of Harvard graduates.Recruiters,in a position to see the market for graduates as a whole,would simply adjust their exchange rate.Compression,however,has distributional consequences.The best Harvard students see their grades devalued relative to those of second rate Harvard students.That is bad with respect to encouraging students to work harder.

1.The text talks about the recent storm concerning grade inflation in American universities by focusing on_________.

A.its causes B.its features C.its impacts D.its purposes

2.In the writer's opinion,real grade inflation can occur when the highest permissible grade_________.

A.is raised accordingly B.is cautiously granted

C.is strictly administered D.is limited appropriately

3.The writer thinks that grade compression characterizes________.

A.a just policy in evaluation

B.a distorted grading system

C.a fixed criterion for the work done

D.a relative difference among students

4.As far as job-seeking is concerned,Harvard grade inflation will benefit________.

A.its best graduates B.its ordinary graduates

C.the job recruiters D.the school authorities

5.With grade inflation going on in Harvard,it is likely that_________.

A.its best students will lack the urge to make progress

B.its ranking in the US universities will going down

C.its advantages will be overtaken by its disadvantages

D.its system of school score distribution will be in chaos

When Katherine Chon was in fifth grade,she drew a“dream tree”representing the path she hoped her life would take.One branch led to Harvard Medical School,which is exactly what her mother had hoped for when the Chons moved to the U.S.from South Korea to give their three children opportunities.

Always a diligent student,Katherine started to learn medicine at Brown.But then she added a new limb to her dream tree—one that her mother still doesn't understand.Shocked by the misfortune of some South Korean women,Katherine joined forces with another Brown student to form the Polaris Project,now one of the largest anti-human-trafficking organizations in the country.“It was really hard for my parents,”says Katherine.“They had so many life stresses so their children could get a great education and have a comfortable life.”

The dreams of parents and children often differ,but the conflict can be especially painful in first-generation immigrant families where the parents have made enormous sacrifices.Lisa Park,an assistant professor at the University of California,San Diego,says that:the focus of every family that moves to the United States to provide opportunities for their children is almost always on the future,with little mention of the circumstances that compelled them to move.And even though the parents are the ones working 12-hour days,the children are also under intense pressure to perform in ways that will justify the parents'sacrifice.

The contrast between parents'dreams and children's realities can be particularly sharp for daughters who have grown up with almost infinite opportunities.Their mothers often came from places where opportunities for women were limited,which makes the daughters'choices even harder to understand.Mary Lugemwa's parents encouraged her to study math or science at Harvard.She complied at first,majoring in computer science.But she is currently working as a film producer for a nonprofit organization called Meaningful Media.“I sometimes feel guilty,”she says,“having chosen to be an artist,because I know that if I had chosen a scientific background,I could help my parents a lot more.”

6.When Katherine Chon was a fifth-grader,________.

A.she had a great interest in drawing

B.she had a clear vision of her future

C.she had an independent personality

D.she had a desire to study in the U.S.

7.It can be inferred from the text that Katherine's mother_________.

A.was disappointed at her daughter's decision

B.was shocked by the suffering of some women

C.failed to give her kids enough opportunities

D.failed to realize her own dream to be a doctor

8.According to the text,in first-generation immigrant families,the parents feel frustrated if________.

A.they fail to adjust to the circumstances

B.they are forced to make great sacrifices

C.their children fail to focus on the future

D.their children develop against their wishes

9.According to Lisa Park,first-generation immigrant children________.

A.avoid the slightest mention of their parents'past

B.focus on seizing chances for future development

C.work very hard to justify their parents'sacrifices

D.are under pressure to fulfill their parents'dreams

10.We learn from Mary Lugemwa's case that_________.

A.her parents cherished opportunities more than she did

B.her parents'dreams and her reality could be balanced

C.she had a quite different view of life from her parents

D.she enjoyed infinite opportunities in career development

A Food and Drug Administration(FDA)advisory committee has concluded that a novel new treatment can greatly help rheumatoid arthritis patients.

The panel recommended approving Enbrel for use alone in patients who haven't responded to other drugs or in combination with methotrexate,a cancer drug that has been the main treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.

The FDA must make a final decision by early November,and the drug's maker says it could be on the market by year's end.

In rheumatoid arthritis,which affects 2.1 million Americans,the immune system attacks healthy joints.A major wrongdoer in this process is a protein called“tumor killing factor”,or TNF,which interacts with a special molecule,or TNF receptor,on cells'surfaces.

To keep inflammation in check,cells normally release some receptors to mop up excess TNF,rendering it inactive.Apparently,rheumatoid arthritis patients don't have enough free-floating TNF receptors.

Enbrel consists of genetically engineered TNF receptors.In a six-month study,234 patients with advanced rheumatoid arthritis received one of two doses of Enbrel or a placebo(harmless substance given as if it were medicine)in twice-a-week injections.They took injections for six months.By the end,40%of patients on the larger Enbrel dose saw symptoms,such as swelling and joint pain,cut in half.Only 5%on the placebo did that well.The main side effect was minor irritation at the injection site.

Because some TNF is needed for a normal immune response,there is at least a theoretical risk of infections or even cancer in patients who take Enbrel,so the FDA panel urged long-term safety studies.

Last week,the FDA approved Arava,an oral treatment for rheumatoid arthritis that is similar to methotrexate.While calling both Enbrel and Arava“potentially very important”,Brian Butcher,vice president for research at the Arthritis Foundation,notes they have been tested in relatively few patients.

Butcher says their safety should be closely monitored once they're widely available.

11.Enbrel as recommended by FDA advisory committee_________.

A.could be a substitute for methotrexate in the near future

B.might bring hope to rheumatoid arthritis patients

C.should be administered to all rheumatoid arthritis patients alike

D.would distinguish itself for its cancer-killing effect

12.Which of the following is responsible for the inflammation of the joints?

A.A special molecule on cell's surface. B.A free-floating receptor.

C.A tumor-killing protein. D.Inactive TNF.

13.We learn from Paragraph 6 that_________.

A.Enbrel treatment in large doses could reduce the patients'symptoms

B.arthritis patients presented symptoms after Enbrel treatment

C.arthritis patients with treatment of a placebo were rid of symptoms

D.only 5%on the placebo got symptoms such as swelling and joint pain

14.The wide use of the new drug Enbrel relies much on_________.

A.justification of the new treatment B.a new monitoring system

C.mass production of the drug D.long-term safety studies

15.Which of the following might be an appropriate title for the text?

A.TNF and Immune System

B.Enbrel versus Methotrexate

C.Arthritis Drug on Path to Approval

D.Study on Rheumatoid Arthritis

Whenever Catherine Brown,a 37-year-old journalist,and her friends,professionals in their 30s and early 40s,meet at a London café,their favorite topic of conversation is relationships:men's reluctance to commit,women's independence,and when to have children—or,increasingly,whether to have them at all.“With the years passing my chances of having a child go down,but I won't marry anyone just to have a child,”says Brown.To people like Brown,babies are great—if the timing is right.But they're certainly not essential.

In much of the world,having kids is no longer a given.“Never before has childlessness been an understandable decision for women and men in so many societies,”says Frank Hakim at the London School of Economics.Young people are extending their child-free adulthood by postponing children until they are well into their 30s,or even 40s and beyond.

A growing share are ending up with no children at all.Lifetime childlessness in western Germany has hit 30 percent among universityeducated women,and is rapidly rising among lower-class men.In Britain,the number of women remaining childless has doubled in 20 years.

The latest trend of childlessness does not follow historic patterns.For centuries it was not unusual for a quarter of European women to remain childless.But in the past,childlessness was usually the product of poverty or disaster,of missing men in times of war.Today the decision to have—or not have—a child is the result of a complex combination of factors,including relationships,career opportunities,lifestyle and economics.

In some cases childlessness among women can be seen as a quiet form of protest.In Japan,support for working mothers hardly exists.Child care is expensive,men don't help out,and some companies strongly discourage mothers from returning to work.“In Japan,it's career or child,”says writer Kaori Haishi.It's not just women who are deciding against children;according to a recent study,Japanese men are even less inclined to marry or want a child.Their motivations,though,may have more to do with economic factors.

Questions:

1.How do Catherine Brown and her friends feel about having children?

2.What can it be inferred that having babies nowadays mean for many women?

3.Why did many women remain childless in the old days?

4.What is the difference between childlessness at present and in the past?

5.What may be the reason when a Japanese man decides not to have children according to the text?
