2.In spite of sex discrimination of keeping women down,new research finds another aspect of women's characters:girls are more likely to talk about school successes than boys.
    Researchers from Hanover College and the University of Louisville came to this conclusion.After all,girls are usually taught to be modest,instead of bragging.
    Basically,girls share more because they believe that success in school is good and that they'll be socially rewarded for it.Girls think that talking about their academic successes will build friendships.Boys seem to share less,because on average,they think it's uncool to be good at school,and would prefer to become the class clown or something even if they really are smart.Because the trend starts as early as mid-childhood,there's a long time for these differences to affect motivation and actual school performance.
This trend continues all the way through college.Girls tend to be better at self-regulation than boys,which allows them to set academic goals,and achieve them.Girls find academic environments easier to control while boys'higher energy levels and impulsiveness(易冲动)cause behavioral problems possibly contributing to the lower grades.
    Some aspects of the gender schooling gap are troubling.Especially as success depends more on educational attainment and qualifications and less on physical strength,boys who can't or won't do schoolwork put themselves at a disadvantage for life.On the other hand,there are new problems for adult females,though,and normal pride in girls turns into arrogance(傲慢)and bossy behavior in adult women.If women seem less proud of their accomplishments than they were as girls,it might just be a reasonable response to standards in the workplace.Women get worse performance reviews than men,like that you're"bossy"if you're over confident etc.
    I would suggest that you channel your inner schoolgirl.In the workplace you can't stop obvious sex discrimination on your own,but you can learn to be proud of your accomplishments in a mature way.Whether others respond properly to that or not,you'll feel better about yourself at the end of the day.

51.What does the underlined word"bragging"in the first paragraph refer to?A

A.Girls don't like mentioning their academic success.
B.Girls consider their success beneficial to their friendship.
C.Girls would like to act like a clown in class to be really cool.
D.Girls find it much harder to control themselves than boys.
53.What can we learn from Paragraph 5?C
A.Male's success has no relation to their educational background.
B.Male's success relies on physical strength and less on education.
C.Females'normal pride maybe has a bad effect on themselves.
D.Females'pride easily makes them get better performance reviews.
54.What is the author's suggestion to adult females?B
A.Listen to what other schoolgirls around them are saying.
B.Keep a normal attitude to their achievements in work.
C.Be proud of their achievements as they were young.

18.When we're talking about the first level of stress,we mean the usual pressures of everyday life.For example:
(36)CThis is the kind of stress you might feel if you have a term math exam on Friday.You need to find time to do your normal homework every day,tutor the kid in the evening and attend dance class on Sunday.
(37)EThis is the stress that makes your palms (掌心) sweat before you recite your lines in the school play,give a presentation to your class,or tie safety belt to take your driver's test.
The lasting stress you feel over things that happen in your daily life.Maybe it's a misunderstanding with a good friend or worried about whether you'll ask your crush to a party.
Everyday stressors are not always easy,but they're not big disasters either.(38)B For example,the stress most of us feel before presenting in class makes us excited and helps us perform at our best.
The more practice we get at handling everyday challenges,the better we get at dealing with challenges in general.(39)A It's like learning to ride a bike as a kid:Bumps (碰撞) in the road can look pretty dangerous when you're falling and first starting out.But the more bumps we take,the more confident we become.Before we know it,we're balanced and in control.
Everyday stress simply calls our awareness to a situation that needs attention.(40)G We deal with these everyday stressors by studying for exams,practicing a class presentation,or thinking about how to work it out with a friend.Once we get to work on finding a way to solve the problem,the pressure and stress ease.

A.The better we get at dealing,the less stressed out we feel.
B.A bit of everyday stress can actually be good.
C.The stress of dealing with everything fills a busy week.
D.The stress from family feels stronger and lasts longer than everyday stress.
E.The stress you feel before an event that makes you nervous.
F.Taking charge of small things can help you feel better.
G.It reminds us to slow down,steady ourselves,focus,and get ready.

12.Tomorrow was his girlfriend's birthday and the young man was having a difficult time deciding on a present for her.She already had more clothes than she knew what to do with them,so he couldn't get any kind of apparel.She never ate sweets,so candy was out of the question.What then?He had a very special reason for wanting to impress her with just the right gift; tomorrow he was going to make an offer of marriage to her.He finally decided on perfume(香水).All girls liked perfume.That raised another problem,however.What kind did she prefer?He couldn't ask her because that would ruin the surprise.
At last the young man hit upon a brilliant idea.That afternoon,pretending to take his girlfriend's fox terrier,little dog for a walk,the young man and the dog went directly to the perfume counter of the town's biggest department store.Good!There was a large array(长列)of perfume.He beckoned(招呼)a clerk,instructing her to open a large number of bottles and wave the stoppers under the dog's nose.Nestled in the young man's arms,the terrier began to be restless and bored as this seemingly pointless game went on.Then Fritz suddenly became frisky,wiggling in the young man's arms and barking excitedly,as the clerk waved one stopper under its nose.

"Intuition(直觉),I guess."Said the young man,deciding that it wasn't exactly wrong to tell a lie under the circumstances.One day,after they were married,he would admit that his intuition had really been a little dog named Fritz.

19.Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea.People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like,mainly because tea was very expensive.It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity.Some of them were not sure how to use it.They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves.Then they served them mixed with butter and salt.They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.
Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century.During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea.Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it,but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added.She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk.Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did,they also drank their tea with milk in it.Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.
At first,tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening.No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess(公爵夫人)found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o'clock stopped her getting"a sinking feeling"as she called it.She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so,tea-time was born.
13.This passage mainly discussesA.
A.the history of tea drinking in Britain
B.how tea became a popular drink in Britain
C.how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea
D.how tea-time was born
14.Tea became a popular drink in BritainB .
A.in the sixteenth century          
B.in the seventeenth century
C.in the eighteenth century         
D.in the late seventeenth century
15.We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the influence ofC.
A.a famous French lady               
B.the ancient Chinese
C.the upper(上层的) social class        
D.people in Holland.
