阅读理解。 Here below are two pieces taken from a blog. ▲ Growing up as one
题型：模拟题难度：来源：
▲ Growing up as one of three girls I"ve always been keen on women"s issues. And now with three
daughters to raise, I have the responsibility of ensuring that they grow up without any preconceived (预
想的) ideas of their capabilities & potential based on their gender. Earlier this year I read an article that
indicated that women surpassed men in the workforce for the first time in history. That is a milestone!
And while we still don"t have equality in leadership positions or pay (especially if you"re a mom), we have
made significant progress over the past couple of decades. All this prompted me to do some digging around
to see what else I could learn. Here are some fun facts from the census bureau for you:
● 29% of women aged 25 or older had obtained a bachelors degree in 2008 vs. 18% in 1987.
● 55% of all college students were women in the Fall of 2008.
● 60% of women 20 years or older participate in the workforce today vs. 34% in 1950.
● 14% of the armed forces were women in 2008, compared to 2% in 1950.
▲ We"re all looking to stretch the value of our dollar as much as possible. Every day as you juggle the
needs of your family, remember to eat right, take your vitamins and keep up with laundry and bills-you
probably also look for budget friendly, family appropriate activities. A day trip to a national park is a great
way to explore all the wonders of nature: without breaking the bank. Once or twice a month, my wife and
I will prepare for a leisurely hike in one of our favorite parks close to home. The night before, she makes
some homemade granola and I make sure our reusable water bottles are full and on ice. Next time you"re
looking for an inexpensive adventure that your family isn"t soon to forget, take a hike! To find a national
park near you, just visit www. nps. gov.

| On the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, "You"re nervous and that"s okay. Everyone is afraid of high school." I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends. On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldn"t figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didn"t think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it! The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right. Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging. Since then, I"ve been elected vice president of my class, which wasn"t much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions. It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because you"ll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn"t straight A"s. Most important of all, be who you are, whether you"re a "fool", an athlete, or a lower grader. Don"t try to pretend to be someone you"re not. Now you know the true secrets of high school. | |
