TOKYO (Reuters) – “Who played the father in the movie ‘Kramer versus Kramer’?” That’s one of the 50 questions Japanese men could face in a “daddy exam”, meant to raise awareness about fatherhood in a country where men tend to work long hours and leave their wives in charge of childcare and household work.

Even men who remember Dustin Hoffman struggling as a father in the movie may have a hard time answering questions ranging from baby food to politics.

Tetsuya Ando, director of Fathering Japan, a Tokyo non-profit organization that came up with the test and will offer it to eager dads from next March, said the exam was an attracting way to get fathers into parenting. “There just isn't enough information about parenting for fathers. Through the exam, we want men to realize that they don't know anything about bringing up kids,” he said.

For the price of 3,900 yen ($34), fathers can find out whether they qualify as a “Super Dad,” or are in need of more effort as a “Challenge Dad.”

“We have received inquiries(咨询) from fathers, single men, to-be-dads, grandfathers ... even an aunt who was concerned that her nephew is too busy with work to notice the fun of parenting,” Ando said. The image of fathers is gradually changing in Japan as younger men eschew their own dads’ hands-off way in favor of closer involvement, and a wave of new parenting magazines for male readers has been hitting newsstands. But it is still hard for Japanese fathers to cut down on their work hours and spend more time with their families. Only 0.5 percent of employed men in Japan took parental leave in 2011, compared with 14 percent in the United States and 12 percent in Britain in 2000.

1.The “daddy exam” is intended to          .

A．test to – be – dads’ fatherhood knowledge

B．test Challenge Dad’s parenting knowledge

C．attract the whole society’s attention to parenting

D．have fathers realize their responsibility for their families

2.In the exam, the Japanese fathers may find that         .

A．they almost know nothing about the questions

B．the questions only make sense to to – be – dads

C．there is ample information about parenting

D．it’s not a good way to get them into parenting

3.The underlined word “eschew” in the last paragraph can be replaced by the word “       ”.

A．avoid             B．adopt             C．improve          D．admire

4.The magazines for male readers are popular most probably because many men        .

A．long to know how to do household chores

B．become more concerned about parenting

C．want to get high scores in the 50 – question test

D．like to know whether they are Challenge Dads

5.From the whole report, it can be inferred that        .

A．Japanese fathers show no interest in parenting

B．young Japanese men tend to set about parenting

C．young fathers value parenting less than their fathers

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。（请将答案写在答题卡上相应番号后的横线上）

Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. However, you can receive better grades if you want. Yes, even students with average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here’s how:

1．Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule of your time. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.

2．Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.

3．Skim before you read. Look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions, Skimming(略读)helps double your reading speed and improve your comprehension as well.

4．      . Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material, too. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.

5．Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively（过分地）about a single test.

There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Improving your studying habits will improve your grades.
