2.At our fellow WSJ's blog,The Wallet,there's a challenging Q & A with the authors of a new book called Smart Girls Marry Money,a satirical self-help book which has a serious mission-to get women and men to talk more about marriage and finances.
The book came into being when the two working-mom authors,F(xiàn)ord and Drake,M.D.,met while picking up their young children from preschool.They noticed that the moms who were able to spend the most time with their kids were the"moms who hadn't necessarily taken their careers seriously and married someone with money,"said Dr.Drake in the interview."It became a joke that if we were smart,we would have married for money."
The authors aren't saying that every woman should desire to marry a rich guy.But they argue that marriage shouldn't just be about love-it should also be an economic partnership (as marriage traditionally was for centuries).Women and men should be more frank about marriage and money,instead of entering marriage starry-eyed without considering the financial future.
Dr.Drake,in the interview,also asserted that women shouldn't abandon their careers,in case of a spouse's illness or divorce."It's an important possession,"she said.(The full Q & A can be found here.)
The interview struck a chord for me:I happen to know quite a few women,especially back in New York,for whom the net worth of their potential spouses or at least their earning potential-was an important factor in determining suitability for marriage.I'm not saying these women married solely for money,but it was a key consideration.Now,after having children-or in some cases,after marriage none of these women work.
Readers,do you know women or men who have married for money?How important,honestly,were financial considerations when evaluating your partner?

68.What is the purpose of paragraph1?B
A.It tells the background of the book.
B.It introduces the topic of the book.
C.It shows a lot of detail of the book.
D.It explains why the book is so popular.
69.What can be inferred (推斷) from paragraph 2?D
A.Ford and Drake don't work when they become moms after marriage.
B.Certain moms can spend time with kids because they don't work.
C.It is necessary for women to give up their work to take care of kids.
D.It is not a smart behavior to marry guys only for money rather than love.
70.What's the author's attitude towards the issue that people marry for money?D
A.The author thinks that women should marry men with lots of money.
B.The author insists both men and women should earn enough money.
C.The author doesn't believe that money is very important in marriage.
D.The author doesn't show her personal agreement or disagreement.
71.What's the best title for the passage?C
A.Is money important for career?
B.How can girls marry rich guys?
C.Is it smart to marry for money?
D.How can girls become smart?

9.The canopy,the upper level of the trees in the rain forest,holds too much of climbing mammals (哺乳動物) of moderately large size,which may include monkeys,cats,civets,and porcupines.Smaller species,including such as nice and small squirrels,are not as common overall in high tropical canopies as they are in most habitats globally.
Small mammals,being warm blooded,suffer hardship in the exposed and uncertain environment of the uppermost trees.Because a small body has more surface area per unit of weight than a large one of similar shape,it gains or loses heat more rapidly.Thus,in the trees,where protection from heat and cold may be scarce and conditions may be changeable,a small mammal may have trouble maintaining its body temperature.
Small size makes it easy to scramble among twigs (嫩枝) and branches in the canopy for insects,flowers,or fruit,but small mammals are defeated,in the competition for food,by large ones that have their own strategies for browsing among tbod-rich twigs.The weight of
an ape hanging below a branch draws the leaves down so that fruit-bearing leaves drop toward the ape's face.Walking or leaping species of a similar or even larger size access the outer twigs either by breaking and gaining the whole branch or by catching hold of hard branches with the feet or tail and picking food with their hands.
Small climbing animals may reach twigs readily,but it is harder for them than for large climbing animals to cross the wide gaps from one tree top to the next that typify the high canopy.A gibbon can hurl itself farther than a mouse can:it can achieve a running start,and it can more effectively use a branch as a springboard (跳板).The forward movement of a small animal is seriously reduced by the air friction (摩擦) against the relatively large surface area of its body.

68.Which of the following questions does the passage answer?D
A.How is the rain forest different from other habitats?
B.How does an animal's body size influence an animal's need for food?
C.Why does rain forest provide an unusual variety of food for animals?
D.Why do large animals tend to dominate the upper canopy of the rain forest?
69.According to paragraph 2,which of the following is true about the small mammals in the rain forest?C
A.They have body shapes that are adapted to life in the canopy.
B.They prefer the temperature and climate of the canopy to that of other environments.
C.They have difficulty with the changing conditions in the canopy.
D.They use the trees of the canopy for protection from heat and cold.
70.When discussing animal size in paragraph 3,the author indicates thatB
A.small animals require appropriately more food than larger animals do
B.a(chǎn) large animal's size is an advantage in obtaining food in the canopy
C.small animals are often attacked by larger animals in the rain forest
D.small animals and large animals are equally good at obtaining food in the canopy
71.According to the last paragraph,what makes jumping from one tree crown to another difficult for small mammals?A
A.Air friction against the body surface.
B.The thickness of the branches.
C.The dense leaves of the tree top.
D.The inability to use the front feet as hands.
