If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is 25 to copy this procedure. Take it 26 Granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted for the meal because of a supposed dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as 27 as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child 28 meal times， but let him get on with his food， and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food so he can hurry back to his toys. Under 29 circumstances must a child be coaxed 30 forced to eat.

I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.

　　It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there， waiting for me. "She meant more to me than anyone ……even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place， a possible scandal. I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩)。 "I wouldn't leave here out in the cold!" he said.

　　Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door.

　　passage Four

　　Equal pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that are looked down upon by society. They say it is for women to be paid less than men for the same work

　　People who hold the opposite opinion (mainly men) have an answer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women; a married man is expected to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision， and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working at all. When wives go out to work， they say， the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job， they will be unable to do the things. Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to give up their present position in society.

　　This is exactly what they want to give up， the women who disagree say. They want to escape from the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between a job and home life， or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equal opportunities.

　　These women have expressed their opinions forcefully by using the famous saying， "All men are created equal." They point out that the meaning of this sentence is "all human being are created equal."

　　46. The women use the phrase "equal pay for equal work" to demand that _____.

　　A. woman's work shouldn't be harder than men's

　　B. men should be paid less than women

　　C. people doing harder work should earn more

　　D. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same work

　　47.What exactly do the women who disagree want to give up?

　　A. Their job B. Their home life

　　C. Their right to pay D. Their present position in society

　　48.People who disagree with women's opinions believe _____.

　　A. women can't do what men can

　　B. men can earn money more easily than women

　　C. men's responsibilities are different from women's

　　D. men have to work much harder than women

　　A. the position of women has changed a little in modern time

　　B. in American society men and women should in modern time

　　Going Abroad to Study

　　Some people think that there are a lot of advantages to study abroad . Firstly ，we can learn the native language more easily and more rapidly while in the country. Secondly ， many foreign universities can offer better studying conditions and have more advanced teaching equipment .Thirdly ，going abroad can take us to a new environment with different culture and customs.

　　However ，some people believe that it isn't worth while to study abroad . For example， the tuition and living expenses are expensive. Moreover， being far away from our mother country， we may feel lonely.

　　My view is that going abroad has more advantages than disadvantages. So it is advisable to study abroad.
