Housework is a frequent source of disputes(爭論) between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women have been warned not to expect men to pull their weight any time soon.
A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as “women’s work”.
The gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. But it will take another four decades before true housework equality(平等) is achieved, the study concluded. The research found that in the Nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day.
But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr. Oriel Sullivan, a research reader from Oxford’s Department of Sociology, said, “We’ve looked at what is affecting the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as ‘men’s work’ or ‘women’s work’.”
Dr. Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework. “At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy baking and dancing,” she said.
1.The underlined part “pull their weight” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “ ”.
A. lose weight B. be lazy
C. earn money D. do equal housework
2.Women will continue to do more housework before 2050 mainly because .
A. men are too busy to help
B. they would like to do so
C. they can do better in housework
D. housework will still be considered as women’s work
3.From Paragraph 4 we know that in the UK .
A. men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on average
B. women now are too busy with their work to do housework
C. women now spend less time on housework than before
D. housework is shared equally between men and women
4.In Dr. Sullivan’s opinion, what is to blame for the housework inequality?
A. Cultural attitudes towards housework
B. Policies made by the government
C. The time spent on work
D. The type of housework

Does a 16-year-old have the ability to change the world, benefiting hundreds of thousands of people?
Olivia Hallisey should believe so. With her invention of new Ebloa test, the girl from US has become the winner of the 2015 Google Science Fair, a yearly competition for creative teenagers who want to make a difference in the world.
Hallisey’s method asks patients to put a sample of their saliva (唾液)onto a testing card. The card changes color if the person is infected with Ebloa. Present Ebloa tests can take up to 12 hours and cost $1,000. Hallisey’s method, by contrast, can be done just in 30 minutes for about $25. Moreover, the test needn’t be put in a refrigerator thanks to the silk material Olivia used to produce the testing cards.
Hallisey started working on the test one year ago when she saw Ebloa spreading across African countries. Her research was based on looking at and using previous research and her own creative ideas.
“She deserves all the praise she’s getting for her hard work, dedication, and intelligence,” said her science teacher Andrew. “Her project is very helpful for the medical diagnosis that we need in parts of the world where Ebola is most common.”
“What affects one country affects everyone,” Hallisey told CNBC. “We have to work together to find answers to the challenges that threaten global health, our environment and our world.”

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 .

B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.

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
