　　How many men do housework? Recently a European commission(委員會(huì)) tried to find out people’s ideas and reactions to the women’s movement. As part of their survey(調(diào)查),they asked many men and women the question,” Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women!

The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting.48% of British husbands said they did these things.37% of Danish(丹麥的) men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all!

But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands. Their answers were the same as their wives’ answers.

　　When I was about 12,I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings.

　　Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

　　He listened to me quietly, then he asked.” Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

　　I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin),but a good number I could--and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to a fairly clear picture of myself.

　　I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.” That’s just for you,” he said.” You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

　　Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

　　Everyone has an ambition to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency, arranging journeys for other people. Brian Lawtey does this, working in a small travel agency in an industrial city. Most of his work is concerned with holiday, both at home and abroad. Every autumn, the agency sends out hundreds of booklets full of attractive, colored photographs, describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have the next year. Soon, people begin to come into the office to book their holidays: perhaps a week’s skiing in Austria in January, perhaps a cruise to the Caribbean in February, perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May, or a tour of Africa. Brian often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them, and they always have a lot of questions. Last year, for example, a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering holiday in the Alps, and Brian had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end, she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise instead.

　　Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated, but Brian enjoys this work. For example, last spring Mr. Perry,a director of chemical firm, went on a business trip, and Brian arranged it all for him. First, Mr. Perry traveled to London by trainband stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport, because his plane left early the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt in Germany, where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich, where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning, he caught a plane for Tokyo, and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle, Chicago and New York, and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York, he flew back to London,and then got home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for arranging everything so well for him.

64.Who would like to work in a travel agency?

A. People who live in an industrial city.

B. People who would like to travel but cannot.

C. Ambitious people.

D. People who go on holidays abroad.

　　Full-time university students spend all their time studying. They don’t do other work. Their course usually lasts for three or four years. Medical students have to follow a course lasting for six or seven years. Then they graduate as doctor. In Britain, full-time university students have three terms of about ten weeks in each year. During these terms they go to lectures or they study by themselves. Their vacations are long, but of course they can use them to study at home.

　　Some universities, like Oxford and Cambridge in England, are residential. This means that during the university terms the students live in universities.

　　Other universities are non-residential. Some of the students at these universities can live in a university hotel, but many live at home or in lodgings and have to travel daily to their lectures. Large cities often have universities of this kind, sometimes the students have to spend a lot of time on their journeys.

　　Full-time students are also called internal students, because they spend all their times at universities. There are also external students who cannot attend the university full-time but who are studying for its examinations. They are part-time students. They have to do other work during the day, usually to earn their living, and they study in the evening.

　　External students are often older than full-time internal students. Sometimes they can attend lectures in the evening, but many of them have to study by correspondence(函授).they write at home the work that is set by their tutors(指導(dǎo)教師).Then have to pass their work to their tutors post corrections and advice back to them.

　　In some countries,” Universities of the Air” can now help students to receive degrees. After special lectures on radio or television, these students have to send set work for correction by correspondence .However, for a few weeks each year they can attend special vacation course at universities.

You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia’s fast-food generation. Dr.Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat.” They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake(卡路里攝入量) has increased. Now that 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chwang.

Although on the whole Asians tend to thinness, culture--namely Asians’ hospitality--is a reason for the fatness of today’s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,” she says.” Eating and drinking are important social and family functions.” In the past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions, as people were more careful with money. In today’s climate of wealth and remarkable consumption,10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.

“In the past, people had four or more children--now, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them,” says Chwang. “The earliest way is to give them quality food. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look thin.”

When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says: “there is a clear relation between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they don’t move, and eventually, they don’t want to move because they are fat.”

Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke,” says Chwang.

56.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Asian people tend to save more money.

B. Asian children depart from their diet tradition.

C. Asian children eat big meals on more occasions.

D. Culture contributes to the fatness of Asian children.

58.Some parents feel bad when their children look thin, because _____.

A. their children don’t love eating and drinking

C. they feel that they don’t take good care of their children

59.The purpose of this article is to _____.
