    分析 文章开头首先引用了马奎斯•孔多塞（法国启蒙运动时期最杰出的代表之一，数学家、哲学家）的名言：享受自己的生活，不要和别人比较；接着作者结合现实生活中所存在的此类现象（即很多人总是拿自己的弱项与别人的强项进行比较，从而使得自己变得既不自信也不快乐）以及介绍了自己与一位读者曾经所经历的类似的问题，从而得出了这样的感悟：当你意识到自己开始与他人进行比较的时候，你应该阻止并告诫自己，要考虑到你所拥有的一切，从而过上更快乐的生活．

    14．China dropped its decades-long，one-child policy last year to allow each family to have two children．This change has put 270million married women of childbearing age in the position of choosing between family and work．The employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two maternity leaves（产假）for a total of seven to eight months．

    Wang Yixin，a senior employment adviser，said the positive side is that more companies are trying to attract more talents by providing support to career women．"Different from before，it is not only employers choosing employees．Many talents，including professional career women，also choose employers．"said Wang．"According to our survey，many large companies are very open to their employees'choice of having a second child．"

    11．Going shopping seems easy，but actually it takes a lot of learning，especially in America．In fact，many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at"sales"or at special stores that sell things at low prices，which you may find interesting．In America，the important rule of dressing is that one should change his or her clothes every day．For example，in an American college，neither professors nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row．So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you have in China．While you are shopping in the States，you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time．The purchase of used，second-hand clothing，furniture，or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money．Most second-hand clothes are of pretty good quality．If you are going to settle down in the States and want some furniture，you may go to a "loan closet"，where furniture rents at low cost，or you may also go to a"furniture exchange"place in the community．
      Sheets，blankets，and other bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a year．Advertisements for"white sales"on bed linen，towels，etc．，often appear in January，as well as in May，June or July．Once or twice every season，there will be"garage sales"，where you can get almost anything，from a yacht to a pair of shoes，at low prices．Prices at"discount stores"and"thrift shops"are also as low as you can imagine．
      When shopping for food，you should look for special prices for various items that are put on sale weekly．To economize，it would be a good idea for you to plan the weekly menu according to what is on sale，including in it the meats，vegetables，fruits，etc．that can be bought at special prices that week．
    Exchange and return policies vary from store to store．You should also keep in mind that exchange and return policies for sales items can be different from standard store policies，especially if the price of the items has been reduced．Ask the merchant about their exchange and return policies before making your purchase．Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult．So，to save yourself the headache，you'd better hold on to any paper or other proof of purchase．

    41．People shopping in America will discoverC．
    A．American goods are excellent             
    B．most clothes come from China
    C．prices vary much sometimes                
    D．used clothes are of poor quality
    42．A person who needs furniture canD．
    A．exchange their goods for furniture        
    B．settle in a place that has furniture
    C．get some free of charge                       
    D．rent some at low cost
    43．At a"white sale"，one can buyC．
    A．almost anything                                       
    B．meats，vegetables，fruits
    C．bed linen，towels                                     
    D．shoes at low prices
    44．Garage sales are heldA．
    A．once or twice every three months          
    B．once or twice every year
    C．from time to time                                     
    D．in January，May，June or July
    45．What does"any paper or other proof"in the last paragraph refer to？C
    A．The exchange and  return policy．
    B．A sales item．
    C．A store receipt．
    D．The standard store policy．

    3．Parents often think that time spent with their kids will gradually decrease in adolescence．But a new study suggests that while teens try to avoid spending a lot of time together with their parents，private parent-child meetings may actually increase in their early adolescent years．And that may raise a teenager's self-esteem （自尊） and social confidence，especially if it is the time that spent with Dad，the researchers added．The researchers created a long-term study in which they invited families in 16school districts in central Pennsylvania to participate．In each family，a teenager，a younger sibling （兄弟姐妹），their mother and their father were interviewed at home and then asked about their activities and self-worth five times over a period of seven years．
    The study authors were surprised to discover that when fathers spent more time alone with their teenagers，the kids reported they felt better about themselves．Something about the father's role in the family seemed to improve self-esteem among the teenagers in the study，said study co-author Susan McHale，a professor of human development at Pennsylvania State University．
    "Time with Dad often involves joking，teasing，and other playful interactions．Fathers，compared to mothers，were more involved in leisure activities and had more peer-like interactions with their children，which is crucial for youth social development，"the study showed．But Marta Flaum，a psychologist in Chappaqua，New York，said，"How these findings reflect the real world is a real question．The sample in the study is so small and so unrepresentative of most families in the country today that I'm not sure how much we can generalize from it．In my community in Westchester County，I don't see parents and teenagers spend much time together at all．Parents are often working so hard and have less time to be together with their kids．"
    However，Flaum encourages parents to make time for their kids no matter how much work they have to do．"Research like this reminds us of how important it is．The time we have with them is so short，"she said．

    28．According to the study，when teenagers spend more time alone with their fathers，A．
    A．their social skills will be improved
    B．their fathers will better understand them
    C．they will be willing to help their siblings
    D．their family members will spend more time together
    29．What is Flaum'attitude towards the findings of the study？C
    A．Unconcerned       B．Favorable．C．Doubtful．D．Puzzled．
    30．What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refer to？D
    A．The research by Susan McHale．
    B．The work to be done．
    C．Parents'encouragement．
    D．The time parents spending together with their kids．
    31．Where is the passage most likely to be taken from？B
    A．Science magazine．B．A news report．C．A research plan．D．An advertisement．
