Part 7 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题：1 分) Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. One phase of the business cycle is the expansion phase. This phase is a two-fold one, including recovery and prosperity. During the recovery period there is ever-growing expansion of existing facilities, and new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expanded. Improvements of various kinds are made. There is an ever increasing optimism about the future of economic growth. Much capital is invested in machinery or heavy industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required. As one part of the economy develops, other parts are affected. For example, a large expansion in automobiles results in an expansion of the steel, glass, and rubber industries. Roads are required; thus the cement and machinery industries are stimulated. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and farmers from increased demand for supplies of raw materials. This increases purchasing power and the volume of goods bought and sold. Thus prosperity is diffused (扩散) among the various segments of the population. This prosperity period may continue to rise and rise without an apparent end. However, a time comes when this phase reaches a peak and stops spiraling (盘旋上升) upwards. This is the end of the expansion phase. 1.We may assume that in the next paragraph the writer will discuss ________. A. the expansion phase B. the status of the farmer C. the higher cost of living D. the recession period 2.The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage is ________. A. Attaining Prosperity in One Industry

Text B A proud homemaker 自豪的家庭主妇 When hearing the word housewife, what comes to your mind？ 当听到“家庭主妇”这个词时，你想到的是什么？ For many people, it's a picture of domestic discontent. Critics of the housewife style in the 1950s seem to find it disgusting that a woman should make it her life's work to raise children, clean dishes and make homemade meals, creating healthy home. 对许多人而言，“家庭主妇”的形象就是对家务琐事充满抱怨不满。19世纪50年代的家庭主妇毕生的工作就是养孩子，洗盘子，做饭，创建一个健康、快乐的家庭，批评家对这样的生活极其反感。 Are we so afraid of going backward that we’re too quick to condemn a different lifestyle？ 我们是不是因为太害怕倒退而过快地去谴责不同的生活方式呢？ I remember my own working days before I settled down as a full-time homemaker. 我记得我自己工作的那会几，那是在我安心当全职家庭主妇以前的事。 For the duration of time that I was working full time, I came home late, heated up a prepackaged dinner for my family, and busied myself with housework until crawling into bed each night, exhausted. 在我干全职工作的那段期间，我回家很晚，为我的家人加热了包装食品作为晚餐后，就忙于家务，每天晚上直到疲惫不堪才爬上床。 My calendar overflowed with little quality time for family or myself. 我的日程表排得满满的，几乎没有全心照顾家人或自己的宝贵时间。 I experienced the same situation growing up in a household with two working parents. 我生长在一个父母是双职工的家庭，所以我的成长经历了类似的情况。 My childhood was spent fussing over daily household tasks, trying to keep control before all the work could be compounded and get out of control. 为努力使情况不恶化或失控，我的童年是在紧张忙碌的家庭事务中度过的。 I appreciate my parents' hard work, but a childhood only lasts a short while before it’s gone forever. 我感谢我父母的辛劳，但童年只是人生一个瞬间，一去不复返。 I can't in good conscience let my children look back and wish we had spent less time folding wrinkled clothes and more time together as a family. 扪心自问，我不能让我的孩子们回头看时，后悔当初没有少花点时间折叠打皱的衣服，而有更多的时间陪伴家人就好了。 From my time in the workforce, I know how tiring and stressful a 9 to 5 grind can be. 在我工作的那段时间，我了解到朝九晚五的苦差事是何等劳累和紧张。 I love being able to support my husband when he comes home from work, yawning and exhausted. 我很高兴在我的丈夫打着呵欠、疲惫不堪地下班回家时能给他支持。 I get extra joy knowing that arriving to a clean, relaxing house and having a delicious meal are therapy for his stress. 当我知道回到一个干净舒适的家和吃上美味佳肴能舒缓他的压力时，我感到格外的喜悦。
