A young and successful manager was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.
As his car passed a park, one child appeared, and a brick smashed into the Jaguar's side door. He stopped the car very suddenly and drove the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what on earth are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
"Please, sir, please, I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "It's my brother," he said. "He fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."
Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump(隆起的肿块)in his throat．He lifted the young mail back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes(擦痕)and cuts, checking to see if everything was going to be okay.

As is known to all, nowadays many students are interested in studying abroad.
Attending schools abroad has many advantages. First, by looking at our own country from outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore widen our vision and broaden our minds. Second, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Third, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in that language may be improved quickly. But the most important is to learn advanced science and technology. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education.
However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier (障碍). Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not prepare themselves well for the new language environment. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying in class. Besides, for not knowing about the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings often arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs in order to help support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little.
Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the one hand, it is a good thing to go and study abroad. But on the other hand, one must not neglect (忽视) the disadvantages.
1.According to the passage, the following are all advantages of studying abroad EXCEPT .
A. having more chances to get good jobs

C. visiting well-known scenic spots
D. learning advanced science and technology

B. Because they want to make full use of their spare time.
C. Because they are not interested in studying.
D. Because they have to support themselves.

I am a working woman with a secret life: I keep house.An off-an-on lawyer and professor in public,in private I launder and clean,cook and devote serious time and energy to a domestic（家务的）routine,not so different from my grandmothers did as "housewives."When I want a good read,I reach for my collection of old housekeeping handbooks.I enjoy housekeeping and the comforts it provides.
I have almost entirely hidden this passion for housekeeping though I am writing a long story about it.No one meeting me for the first time would doubt that I spend my time knitting and remembering household facts.I knew I would not want this information about me to get around.After all,I belong to the first generation of the women who worked more than they stayed home.
Being viewed as over domestic can get you socially ostracized.When I made hand-rolled pasta（意大利面）for a dinner,I learned the hard way that some guests will find this annoying,as they do not feel comfortable eating a meal that they regard as the product of too much trouble.When my son was in nursery school,I made the mistake of spending a few hours sewing for him a Halloween dressing,receiving hard stares of many fellow parents who had bought a Batman or Esmeralda costume.Many times my courage in writing the story failed me when painful silences followed my confession（坦白）about the long book,"NO,not a history of housework,an explanation of it—a practical book on how you make the bed and make a comfortable home."I managed to hold on partly because not everyone responded with that stare;there was support as well.And I was struck that no one responded with coldness.The topic was clearly hot-too hot for some people to handle,heartwarming to others.
1.What makes the author enjoy housekeeping?
A. The joy and comfort from housekeeping.
B. Her wish to be different from others.
C. The influence of her grandmothers.
D. Her love to her family.
2.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 3?

C. Accepted. D. Concerned.
3.We can learn that the author .
A. gives up writing her story at times B. does housekeeping as her full job
