題目列表(包括答案和解析)

While being laid off and entering into retirement are far from the same, they both often leave one half of a couple with extra time on their hands, and plenty of pent?up (被壓制的) energy that their significant other, coming home after a long day at work, can't handle.WSJ.com recently wrote an article that shared a few words of wisdom on how to deal with this situation. Here are their tips：

Be nice to each other and have a positive attitude. Hard as it may be, try not to be discouraged during the job search and make sure to support your spouse (配偶). If one of you says something negative, the other should try to come back with something positive. And don't forget, compliments can go a long way.

In order to kill the boredom before it begins, encourage your partner to stay as busy as possible. Stay healthy and join a sports team, or learn how to cook (this benefits your spouse as well). Another option is taking up a side job serving food or working as a sales associate. This will allow your sweetie to interact with other people as well as earn some money. But, of course, new hobbies shouldn't take up the time needed to continue the job hunt.

As WSJ.com points out, those who recently lost their jobs are sometimes embarrassed and therefore shut out family and friends. They might rely on their partners for support. Tell your wife or husband to talk to their families and friends. They know and love them, and can be a good support system (rather than a support group of one: you)．

You may be happy to spend time with your significant other but need a little alone time after working all day. To the recently laid?off: let your partner settle down, drink a beer, and watch a little television before you bombard (發(fā)出連珠炮似的問題) him with your idea to go skydiving or white water rafting. You may have an endless amount of pent up energy, but they probably need some space to relax.

閱讀理解

　　Every year, as the Spring Festival draws near, most Chinese people will get excited to make preparations for the most important festival and make plans for the winter break．It is a little like Christmas in the US, but there are some differences between the two festivals．

　　Superficially(表面上)speaking, both the major Chinese and the major Western holidays come during the cold season, which in both cases calls for extra eating．In Western countries, cookies and cupcakes begin just after Thanksgiving in November and show up everywhere from the boss’ desk to fireplace mantle(壁爐臺)．Turkey, smashed potatoes and other food that protects a body from cold come later．Similar thing happens in China．Entering lunar December, most families will make shopping plans for the coming big day and food is certainly one of the most important things to be considered．At the end of the month, both parents in each family will be very busy－the father is busy buying food while the mother is busy cooking．

　　A deeper similarity is tradition－or the distortion of it．Christmas, as the letters “Christ” suggests, as a holiday to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ．Many people pray on this day, but others have severed or minimized the religious connection．In China, people living in cities or towns, though they don’t plan to sow seeds this month, still celebrate on the big day for farmers．

　　Followers of both holidays also differ from each other．While Chinese people travel to the homes of elder relatives, Americans usually call or send cards．Westerners prefer Christmas cards to fireworks．In Christmas, family gifts come by the stack instead of one by one, since adults may have only one day free to celebrate．

　　But the most curious difference concerns students．Chinese students headed home for Spring Festival sometimes report getting bored by the end of the vacation, yet American students seldom get bored around Christmas and western New Year．

　　Not everyone follows or enjoys classic holiday traditions．Students in Western countries may get upset, as too much homework, travel complexities or bad family relations may disrupt the relatively short holiday season．In China, more and more college students choose to travel or work during the winter holiday instead of going home to stay with their families．It’s against the tradition but many people accept it．
