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 workload was just as heavy as paid work.Now,the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours,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 analysing the numbers,it found the average mother works 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 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 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour,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 jobs”,with psychologist(心理学家)a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face,with 80 per cent making emotional(情感的)demand 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 shows 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 .A.emotional demandB.low pay for workC.heavy workloadck of training3.What is stressed in the last paragraph?A.Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.B.The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.C.Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.D.Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.4.What can we conclude from the study?A.Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.B.Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.C.Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realised.D.Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.B(2021课标Ⅰ,D)Conflict is on the menu tonight at the cafe La Chope.This evening,as on every Thursdaynight,psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes,coffee drinking and the“talking cure”.Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings.It isn’t always easy.The customers—some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2(plus drinks)per session—are quick to intellectualize(高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect.“You are forbidden to say‘one feels,’or‘people think’,”Lehanne told them.“Say ‘I think,’‘Think me’.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed?It couldn’t seem more un-French.But Lehanne’s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself:It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes.Over the years,Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle—longer working hours,a fast-food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home.Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation.Cafes focused around psychology,history,and engineering are catching on,filling tables well into the evening.The city’s“psychology cafes”,which offer great comfort,are among the most popularplaces.Middle-aged homemakers,retirees,and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love,anger,and dreams with a psychologist.And they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel.“There’s a strong need in Paris for communication,”says Maurice Frisch,a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church.“People have few real friends.And they need to open up.”L ehannesays she’d like to see psychology cafes all over France.“If people had normal lives,these cafes wouldn’t exist,”she says.“If life weren’t a battle,people wouldn’t need a special place just to speak.”But then,it wouldn’t be France.1.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A.Learn a new subject.B.Keep in touch with friends.C.Show off their knowledge.D.Express their true feelings.2.How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A.They are less frequently visited.B.They stay open for longer hours.C.They have bigger night crowds.D.They start to serve fast food.3.What are theme cafes expected to do?A.Create more jobs.B.Supply better drinks.C.Save the cafe business.D.Serve the neighborhood.4.Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A.They bring people true friendship.B.They give people spiritual support.C.They help people realize their dreams.D.They offer a platform for business links.Ⅲ.短文改错(2021四川)下面短文中有10处语言错误。

Animal languageLike human beings, animals need to communicate with each other to survive. They do not speak to each other in the same way as we do; instead they use many different sounds and actions to express themselves. For example, bees make a buzzing noise, lions and bears growls, cats miaow, and dogs bark. If you see a cat standing with its back arched (拱起), head lowered or legs bent, it could be scared. If a dog growls at you, it probably is angry and you should be careful. Animal language is simplerthan human language, but it shows how intelligent animals are.Language study 语言学习1. share one’s experience of learning English 分享学习英语的经验2.

A．They were allowed to ask all their money back.B．They moved to a better place.C．They lost their land.D．They sold their land to the white settlers.3．We can infer from the third paragraph that the treaty ______.A．was against the will of the Cherokee IndiansB．didn't take effect in the endC．was turned down by President JacksonD．was misunderstood by most Cherokee Indians4．The trail to Oklahoma is called “Trail of Tears” because ______.A．many Cherokees escaped from the tripB．the weather was very cold during the tripC．Cherokees walked beside a big riverD．many Cherokees lost their lives during the tripBGoing to outer space is a little like going camping.You have to carry with you all the food and equipment you need for your trip，so your food can't be too heavy or hard to prepare.Plus，there are no refrigerators to keep food cold and fresh.Food with all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn't spoil.So，many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets.Some，such as dried pears，taste good right out of the packet.But to eat the turkey in this outer-space Thanksgiving dinner，an astronaut must add water and heat the packets.On Earth，gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate.But there's no gravity in space.To keep food from floating away，astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach the packets to a special tray.The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut's lap.To prepare their food，astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper.The liquid sticks to the food better.Regular salt and pepper would float away，maybe up an astronaut's nose.Achoo! Liquids float right out of cups and glasses，though.So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a stra w(饮料吸管) that can be closed.Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good.Some，such as apples and pudding are the same as the foods you eat on Earth.Astronauts eat tortillas(玉米粉圆饼) instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑)．Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut's eye.Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth.Your body must get rid of waste in space too.During take off and landing，astronauts can't leave their seats to go to the bathroom.They wear diapers(尿布) under their spacesuits instead.The Space Shuttle has a bathroom the size of a small closet.The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away.A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush waste down the toilet.Back on Earth it's flushed away－or sometimes studied by scientists.5．Why do astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper to prepare food?A．Liquid doesn't spoil.B．Liquid is convenient to use in space.C．Liquid is lightweight.D．Astronauts are in great need of water.6．What do astronauts think of space foods?A．Most of them taste pleasant.B．They are mostly fruits.C．Most of them are cold.D．They contain little meat.7．Why don't astronauts eat bread?A．Bread tastes bad.B．Tiny pieces may float.C．Bread weights heavy.D．Bread is rather hard to prepare.8．We can infer from the passage that astronauts ______.A．drink from cups and glassesB．always wear diapers in spaceC．can move freely during landingD．must pay attention to the crumbs in space。
