16、rld. B When my husband walks in the door after working late, his first words to me are “Thank you.” Hes thanking me for taking care of the kids. He usually follows it up with “Im sorry ” for having worked late, even though it was not his choice. Those words express his respect and admiration for the

17、 work I am doing at home with our three children. Im sure he is tired from a long day at work, but he knows I am physically and emotionally exhausted as well from a long day at home. He may not spend as much time caretaking as I do, but hes done enough to know what Im going through every day. When o

18、ur children were babies, he would do late-night and early-morning feeding whenever possible. “I would like to do it.” He wanted to help me and spend time with our children. Now that our kids are little older (2, 5 and 10 years), hes still a hands-on father. He does not shy away from any tasks of par

19、enting. Hes lucky to have a job thats allowed him to marry his passion for art with earning money to support a family. His job has allowed me to be home for a total of almost a decade so far. Money is necessary and important - I cannot deny that fact. But his attitude reflects that raising our child

20、ren is the most important job. I know my husbands attitude and actions will stay with my kids, because it stayed with my husband from his own childhood. His dad always respected and valued his mothers contribution, so my husband viewed childcare as an important job in itself. My husband is certainly

21、 not perfect, but hes pretty extraordinary in his recognition of the value of parenting. He gives everything he has to them- every ounce of energy, attention, patience and love that he has within. I am blessed to have a considerate husband.24. What is probably the authors husbands job? A. A doctor B

In a speech at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Zuckerberg spoke Chinese for about 30 min

24、utes. With Chinese having the most native speakers in the world and the study of the Chinese language increasing rapidly around the world, Zucherbergs talk raises a question: Is Chinese the language of the future? Could it replace English as the worlds international language?Chinese will grow in imp

25、ortance, especially for people who want to work and do business in China. But I dont think Chinese will replace English any time soon.American movies, music, television, video games have wider audiences, which is one reason for Englishs popularity as a foreign language. So far Chinas success in this

26、 aspect has been very limited. Chinese films, Chinese television shows and Chinese music dont have a huge following outside of China. In addition, English is seen as a more neutral (中立的) language than Chinese. Unlike Chinese, English is not associated with one country. It is a universal language and

27、 is spoken in more than 170 countries. In 2014, China hosted the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Beijing, China. But the meeting was not in Chinese. The official language of APEC is English.The most important reason is that Chinese is a more difficult language to learn. It is estimated t

28、hat it would take a native English speaker 2,000 hours to reach professional fluency in Chinese. That is four times longer than it would take to reach the same level in Dutch, French, or Spanish. While Chinese grammar is much simpler, Chinese has a tone and writing system that is more difficult for

29、adult learners to master.Last but not least, more people learn English than Chinese. A recent survey by Gallup showed that only one in four Americans is multilingual, which means only 25% of Americans can speak a foreign language besides English. For most Americans, learning a foreign language is a

30、choice, not a necessity. China Daily estimates that 400 million Chinese are studying English. That means China has more English learners than the U.S has English speakers.28.

The results pop culture development brings about. B. The influence English has on the global economy. C. The suggestions on how to master

33、 Chinese in a short time. D. The reason why English would be more popular than Chinese. DOver the past few years, there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information online. Sharing information online has become a routine for many of us, but have you ever given a thought as to

34、why we will involve ourselves into this activity?We often share information with our friends in office or at home to educate, entertain, or pleasantly surprise them. In this way we can be connected with others. This is also true while sharing information online. If you look at the Facebook wall post

35、s of your friends, you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes, entertaining videos, inspirational images, funny jokes, etc. As the study of The New York Times found out, 94% of the respondents(答应者) said they put in a lot of thought on how the content they are sharing will

36、be beneficial to others.A lot of people share information online to present their true image to the outside world. Some people, especially those who feel shy and uncomfortable to talk about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information onli

37、ne with like-minded individuals78% of the respondents in the study of The New York Times said they shared information online because it helped them develop better relationships. Today, a lot of people do not have the time to meet each other in person, and the Internet has become a great substitute.

38、A lot of people now meet each other online, rather than in conventional places like restaurants and pubs. Lastly, when we share our thoughts online, we are actively involving ourselves in the vast community of people who are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will make a difference to

39、 the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world. In the study of The New York Times, 89% of the respondents said that feeling satisfied with what they have done, they enjoyed sharing to get more involved in the world.32.
