Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother"s Camp. There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family?
Some women say they need time to be alone.

At Mother"s Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, "Mom, what"s for dinner?" No husband will say, "Oh, dear, I can"t find any clean socks." In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job  -  taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.
In the United States, working wives do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can"t find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.
Some women go to Mother"s Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don"t cook, they don"t clean, and they don"t look after their children and husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home. They have a really wonderful vacation at Mother"s Camp !

解析

试题分析:这篇文章主要讲了现在有一些妇女在Mother’s Camp过周末。丈夫和小孩不允许进入Mother’s Camp。在那里,她们有自己的空间,可以睡觉、看电视,没有人去打扰她们。因为在美国,这些有工作的妻子要做75%的工作。她们想要在Mother’s Camp好好地度假。
小题1:推理判断题。根据 Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job  -  taking care of their homes and families.句意:她们中有很多人是全职工,然后回到家里做第二份工作----照顾家庭和家人。由此可看出,她们想要独处是因为平时她们太忙了,没时间放松。故选C。
小题2:推理判断题。根据 There, husbands and children are not allowed.句意:丈夫和小孩不允许进入Mother’s Camp。可知她们不是和家人一起度周末的。可知应选B。
小题3:细节理解题。根据These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.
句意:这些有全职工作的女人说她们最大的问题之一就是家务。do housework就是do chores at home。故选A。

If we share a car, we’ll only         when we use it.

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to cheat? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out (略去) important information that should be inside, he can give you a false picture.
For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians (政客) often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and got three million jobs. Then she tries to get another term. One of her opponents (竞争对手) says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had increased two million jobs.’’
Advertisers will sometimes use half–truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to say that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of cheating happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
小题1:We may infer that the author believes people should ________.
A.buy lottery tickets if possible
B.make use of half–truths
C.be careful about what they are told
D.not trust the Yucky Company
小题2:How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to cheat?
A.OneB.TwoC.Three D.Four
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Using half truths is against the law.
B.Technically, half truths are in fact lies.
C.Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D.Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
小题4:Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.He’s really a big loser!
B.Sometimes the truth can lie as well.
C.Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D.It’s against the law to make false statements.

I stood in line to sign up for the middle school track(田径)team.
“Track isn"t an      sport.” the coach said. “Are you ready to practice hard every day?”
“Oh, yes. I love running.” I replied.
“Well, that"s good,” the coach said.“     starts tomorrow after school.”
I was a little nervous about running with mostly older students, but I decided to face my fear.
“Welcome to the first day of practice.” the coach ordered everyone to the bottom of a sand hill. “Okay.”, he said, “This is the       practice we"ll do all season. You are going to run up and down the sand hill ten times as fast as you can. If you can"t     _it, move to the side.” We all lined up, legs ready.
“Go!”the coach shouted, and      we went.
I considered myself a bit small but strong. Running up that hill, however, was harder than I had imagined it would be. The sand kept falling down under my feet and it was hard to keep balance(平衡). I tried      my feet in deeper, but people kept passing me shouting “Look out!” and “Move off to the side!”
“Don"t cry,” I told myself as tears filled my eyes. I had to step aside. I went home from practice feeling like a(an)    .
That night my dad noticed sad face and asked what was wrong. The story came pouring out. Dad listened quietly and then asked, “How      do you want to run?”
“I really want to run,” I whispered through my tears.
“Then, run,” he said. “Everyone will respect you if you don"t stop and give      all you have. I know how strong-mined you can be when you set your mind to it.”
The next day the hill looked as hard as it had been the day before, but I had a new attitude and something to     . “Go!” the coach shouted. Several older students ran by me as we started up the hill. I still fell in the sand, and I still wanted to leave every step of the way; but I kept      slowly and progressively. When I reached the top, I gave a silent cheer and headed back down again. My dad was right. I won      that day and became a part of the team. On my last time down, everyone clapped and cheered.
