阅读表达。     Men enjoy half an hour more leisure (休闲) time each day  than women. a report says.The
international survey found men spent more time watching television. meeting friends. playing sport
or enjoying hobbies than women.
     The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. made up of the world"s richest
nations. said Britain came close behind France and America in the list of countries where women
work harder than men.The report called for greater equality for women.It said governments and firms
needed to do more to deal with the sex equality gap (差距).
     Former OECD reports have suggested the difference may be more to do with how each sex
chooses to spend its time which was not taken into account (考虑到) in the new report.The OECD
said shopping. having a bath. dressing. taking a nap or taking a long lunch all count as work rather
than leisure.If these are taken into account. British men have only 10 minutes more____________a
day than women.
      Men generally report spending more time on activities counted as leisure than women.Sex
differences in spare time  are wide across OECD countries.The 32minute leisure advantage for men
in Britain compares with 38 minutes in the US,33 minutes in France,50 minutes in Belgium and 22
minutes in Germany.Italian men spend nearly 80 minutes a day more than women on leisure time.
     Across the OECD countries,62 percent of women have jobs. and women earn a fifth less than men.

     Many people often lose their friends and they don"t know how to keep a long friendship.So
how can you keep a long friendship? The following passage explains very well about this matter.
     The first thing you need to do is to become a good listener.In this way,you show your friends
that you are interested in their lives.You want to know more about them and you want to help
them solve their problems.They will cherish the friendship more if they know you care about them.
     The next thing is that you should respect other people"s privacy (隐私)．People usually don"t
like others to know about their private life,so you should show respect toward their privacy.
Sometimes,they need some suggestions from others,but this does not mean that others can know
about their entire life.So respect for privacy is a must for keeping a long friendship.
     The third important thing is that you need to be able to forgive.You must remember that nobody
is perfect in this world.It is important to forgive others and not to blame them for the mistakes they
have already made.You are not perfect either.Thus you need to apologize to others for the mistakes
you may have made.
     Pay attention to the three things above,and you will be able to have long friendships.

阅读理解     My dad, Greg Newman, had wanted to be a race  car driver, but things didn"t work out for him.So
I guess having a son who could become a race car driver was the next best thing.Don"t get me
wrong-Dad didn"t push me into racing.In fact, when I was about 10 years old, my dad was afraid that
driving a car wasn"t my dream.So he took the racing away from me.I wasn"t very happy with that decision.It wasn"t long before Dad realized that racing was what I loved.
     At four, Dad bought me my first Quarter Midget (袖珍赛车)  and that"s really where it started for us.
Back then, Dad coached me.He would stick out (伸出) his footin the path of the race car, and then tell
me to exactly hit his foot.By repeating this again and again, Dad believed that I would be faster and
sharper on the race track.
     Dad worked really long hours at his car repair business to make money so that I could race each
weekend.I can remember that every night before he turned off the lights in the garage, Dad would tell
me:"Don"t forget to kiss your race car good night." He was trying to teach me that if I show respect, it"s
returned.He wanted me to show thankfulness and respect for my race car and for all the hard work that
we and many others had put into the dream.
     My dad, my mom and my sister gave up a lot of things to help me race.For us, there was no better
moment than winning the 50th running of the Daytona 500 in 2008.That evening in February 2008, I
knew I had gotten a good push.I could hear the excitement.My father couldn"t speak a word, and when
he got to  Victory Lane (车道), he nearly knocked me over and  gave me such a big hug.1. Why did Greg Newman stop his son to race when his son was 10 years old?A. Because he thought racing was dangerous.
B. Because he worried that his son didn"t like racing.

阅读理解      To see the world is one thing；to have someone to share it with is another.Indeed, travel becomes
more interesting when you have a travel partner.A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member,
a pal you"ve met online, or a business friend.
    You can have someone to talk to
     Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn"t you feel lonely?Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of
loneliness.This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place
you"re traveling to.You don"t have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time
you spend in the country.
     ____________________
     One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved.You can"t simply ignore the rising price
of hotels or plane tickets.You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food.Of course, you
can"t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family.All these can ruin your budget.However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.
     You can meet a good friend
     Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner.You can never
count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other"s heart while traveling together
in another country.
     You can have someone to watch out for you
     When you"re in a foreign land, you"ll never be really safe.You don"t know the rules as well as the
culture of the people.A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to
watch your back just in case you get lost.So why don"t you find a travel companion now?

阅读理解     People who like travelling have their reasons.They believe that travelling can help them expand their
field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense.They also think that touring will give them
more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things  that would never be  brought
by other activities.But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.
     Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than  harm.Most importantly, it broadens (使扩大) our
mind.We can get in touch with other civilizations (文明), cultures, customs and ideas.
     Through history, most people travelled because of necessity (必要性)-not for pleasure.People
travelled just in order to remain alive.They searched for food to eat or places to live in.They sometimes
ran away from enemies.This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it.In ancient times,
for  example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and
festivals.Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity (好奇心). They wanted to find
out what it looked like beyond the horizon  (地平线). Also business travel has been going on for
centuries.Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be
introduced to different cultures.
     So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us.There is no doubt that we can get much
from it.1. The underlined word "expand" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by "________". A. widen
B. protect
C. lose
D. decide2. According to the passage, in the past most people travelled________.A. for fun
B. for knowledge
C. to get experiences
D. to make a living3. How many reasons for travelling are mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. Three.
B. Four.
C. Five.
D. Six.4. In the writer"s opinion, travelling can be________.A. expensive
B. funny
C. helpful
D. tiring5. What"s the main idea of this passage?A. Different kinds of travelling.
B. Travelling enriches our mind.
C. Ways to enjoy yourself while travelling.
D. The advantages and disadvantages of travelling.
