阅读理解。     The number of women over 65 who are still working has increased by more than a third in the past ten
years. Do these women really like working? Women live longer than men, so they have to save more money
for their retired (退休的) lives. Women earn (挣) less, so they save less. And they work few years because
they have to look after children or elderly parents.
     How can we help women find a way to retire when they want to? Here are some thoughts:
     (1) Right now only 47% 0f working women take part in a company retirement plan. American business
can do much more to help that number grow.
     (2) Knowledge is power (力量). 53% 0f women who have a retirement plan said they would increase
their income (收入) if they had a chance to receive financial (财经的) education.
     (3) Non-working women can invest (投资) up to $5,000 every year to increase" their income.
     These ideas can help women work longer, not because they have to but because they want to.You can

阅读理解。 Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are
old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can"t see or hear very well. Children
usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They forget to look and listen before they cross the
road.
How can we lessen (减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they
shouldn"t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For
the pedestrians (行人), it"s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when
we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements. We must stop and look both ways before
crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, and then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road
is clear can we cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It"s not safe to run. If people run
across the road, they may fall down. Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the
road, and never play in the street. 1. Which of the following is NOT the right way to cross the road? A. Stop and look both ways.
B. Run quickly.
C. Make sure that the road is clear.
D. Walk quickly. 2. Why do most old people often get hurt or die when they are crossing the road? A. Because they are not careful.
B. Because they forget to look and listen.
C. Because they can"t see or hear very well.
D. Because they often run across the road. 3. As a student, you can _____ to try to lessen traffic accidents.A. help children to cross the road
B. play in the street carefully

阅读表达。阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。     Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as
easy as when your parents are around? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?
     "I can fill an empty stomach with tomato and egg soup, but that"s all. I think many of my classmates
are the same. We wouldn"t know what to do, or how to look after ourselves," said Zheng Chenyu. "And
I"d forget something important. I"d probably watch television and burn the soup."
     "As soon as I leave home, I"ll learn to cook. But now parents do almost everything for us. We"re very
lazy,"she said.
     Most teenagers have only time for their homework. They don"t learn any life skills until they go to
college.
     However, Sima Yige doesn"t think so.
     "I think I"d be all right. I wouldn"t just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook, some sim-ple dishes
because my mum showed me," the 13-year-old boy said. In his opinion, many teen-agers depend too much
on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like "tidying up your room or even dressing
yourself properly."
    For most teenagers it wouldn"t be a holiday at all. 1. Why would Zheng Chenyu probably burn the soup?
    _____________________________________________________________________________________
2. When will Zheng Chenyu learn to cook?
   _____________________________________________________________________________________
3. Translate the underlined sentence "They don"t learn any life skills until they go to college." in this passage.
    _____________________________________________________________________________________
4. The underlined phrase "depend too much" on in the passage means __________ in Chinese.
5. Would life be as easy for teenagers living alone as when their parents are around?
    _____________________________________________________________________________________
