Divorces in Japan have more than doubled, according to health ministry statistics. One in three Japanese marriages now ends in divorce.

Atsuko Okano was in one of those failed marriages. Three years ago, she found herself alone in her 30s, with children to raise and a future full of question marks and social shame. But she also saw an opening, and became an advisor helping people like herself.

“My husband was cheating on me,” she recalled. ‘I did everything to bring him back to me but it didn’t work, so I dumped him.” Such frankness is a major characteristic of Japan’s recently divorced.

Divorced people – particularly woman – have long been looked down upon in Japan, where self-sacrifice and family stability are regarded as ideals. In the past, bored housewives remained bored. The security of the family unit was the most important thing. Now, young Japanese are increasingly choosing satisfaction in life over the demands of tradition, and more woman are financially independent. As a result, Japanese divorce rates are flying. Experts attribute this to the erosion of a long-standing double standard that granted divorced men respectability, but branded(gave somebody a bad name) divorced women as damaged goods.

Over the past decade, growing numbers of highly educated and successful professional women have challenged that assumption(something taken for granted) by turning their backs on unhappy marriages and paying no attention to the taboo(禁忌)of divorce. The majority of divorce behavior now is started by women.

1.This passage mainly talks about the fact that nowadays Japanese women _________.

A.are granted respectability after they get divorced

B.are becoming brave enough to challenge the taboo of divorce

C.still consider the security of the family unit to be very important

D.are becoming more financially independent

2.It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Atsuko Okano __________.

A.had some children to raise

B.was very confident with her future

C.was not greatly respected by Japanese society

D.might have found a job to help divorced people

3.The underlined word “dumped” in paragraph 3 probably means _________.

A.looked down upon

B.had a quarrel with

C.hated

D.divorced

4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for rising rate of Japanese divorces?

A.Self-sacrifice and family stability are not much appreciated in Japan as before.

B.More women can support themselves financially.

C.Divorced men and women can quickly find their new partners

In the Tale of Benjamin Bunny, first published in 1904, Peter’s cousin Benjamin Bunny brings him back to Mr.McGregor’s garden and they get back the clothes Peter lost in The Tale of Peter Rabbit.

Every childwants to have pocket money(零花钱). Why do their parents just give them some money?   51 

The amount of money that parents give to their children differs from family to family.   52   Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money.

First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what they expect their children to buy with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time.    53 

In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts(专家) think it not wise to pay the children for doing that.    54  

Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want.    55 Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.

A Some children are not good at managing their pocket money.

B As helping at home is a normal part of family life.

C Learning how to get money is very important for every child.

D By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget(预算).

E Timing is another consideration.

F They can save it for future use.

G One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money.
