For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news.

As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England.

However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub’s landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.

That’s how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.

This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm. Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.

In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Men’s Clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.

1. The passage mainly tells us something about ______.

A. the importance of British pubs

B. the decline of British pubs

C. the long history of British pubs

D. the past and present of British pubs

2. Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?

A. The present closing time.

B. The ban of smoking.

C. The lack of enough spare money.

D. The credit crunch.

3.We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. binge drinking means drinking less beer

B. closing the pubs early will reduce social problems

C. British people used to like drinking slowly

D. British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking

4. We can see from the last paragraph that the author _______.

A. holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubs

B. thinks that British pubs should offer everything you need

C. thinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problems

D. is against the admission of too many women to the pubs

Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology(意识形态) that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited, much more so than men, to the performance of domestic(家庭的) duties. A woman’s place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are “dependents”.

The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, house-hold helpers, clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role. Informal distinctions between “women’s work” and “men’s work” in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.

Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearances.

So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is enough evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned.

But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.

1.According to the biology-is-destiny ideology, women_______.

A.cannot compete with men in any field

B.are suited more to domestic jobs than men

C.are sensitive enough to be a good caretaker

D.are too weak to do any agricultural work at all

2.Those who have prejudices against women think that_______.

A.women shouldn’t go out for work

B.women should earn money to add the family income

C.women going out for work should only do “women’s work”

D.women should take jobs to drill the special capabilities of the sex

3.The author thinks that the positions women hold outside_______.

A.are determined by what they are better suited to

B.grow out of their household responsibilities

C.represent their breakthrough of sex discrimination

D.are physically and emotionally suitable to them

4.What does the underlined sentence imply?

A.Sex roles are socially determined

B.Sex roles are emotionally and physically determined

C.Sex roles are biologically and psychologically determined

D.Sex roles are determined by education people take
