His attitude didnt soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home，Dad never met me，even in severe weather. If I grumbled，hed say in his loudest father-voice，“Thats what your legs are for!”The walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop，I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey，I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening，the hedge had just e into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge，moving toward the house. Upon closer observation，I realized it was the top of my fathers head. Then I knew，each time Id e home，he had stood behind the hedge，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care，after all.On later visits，that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home，I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son，its you!” hed say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied，“Yes，Dad，its me.

DEducating girls quite possibly gets a higher rate of return than any other deal available in the developing worldWomens education may be unusual field for economists，but increasing womens contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social projectAnd economics，with its emphasis on incentives（激励），provides an explanation for why so many girls lose the chance of an educationParents in low-ine countries dont send their daughters to school because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family：girls grow up only to marry into somebody elses family and bear childrenGirls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school-the prophecy（预言）bees self-fulfilling，trapping women in a vicious circle（恶性循环）of abandonmentAn educated mother，on the other hand，has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choicesShe is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children，ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chanceThe education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls，as well as of boys，will be educated and healthyThe vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle （良性循环）Few will not agree with the idea that educating women has great social benefitsBut it has enormous economic advantages as wellMost obviously，there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workersWages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schoolingSuch big returns are impressive by the standard of other available deal，but they are just the beginningEducating women also has a significant impact on health practices，including family planning1The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is _AexpensiveBtroublesomeCrewardingDlabor-saving2What does the author say about womens education？AIt deserves greater attention than other social projectBIt is in the first place in many developing countriesCIt will get greater returns than other known dealDIt has developed the interest of a growing number of economists3The passage mainly discusses _Aunequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countriesBthe major contributions of educated women to societyCthe potential earning power of well-educated womenDthe economic and social benefits of educating women二、完形填空（共1小题）5.When 24-year-old Hannah Brencher moved to New York after college，she was hit by loneliness.

Whether it could or not，some people are worrying about the possibility that phones，powerlines and wi-fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses，from rashes to brain tumors.For example，Camilla Rees，48，a former investment banker in the US，moved out of her apartment in San Francisco because of the radiation ing from next doorRees told the Los Angeles Times that when her neighbors moved in and installed a wi-fi router she lost her ability to think clearly“I would wake up dizzy in the morningId fall to the floorI had to leave to escape that nightmare，” she saidSince then，shes been on a campaign against low-level electromagnetic fields，or EMFs（低频电磁场）.And shes not aloneMillions of people say they suffer from headaches，depression，nausea and rashes when theyre too close to cellphones or other sources of EMFs.Although the World Health Organization has officially declared that EMFs seem to pose little threat，governments are still concernedIn fact，last April，the European Parliament called for countries to take steps to reduce exposure to EMFsThe city of San Francisco and the state of Maine are currently considering requiring cancer-warning labels on cellphones.If these fears are reasonable，then perhaps we should all be worried about the amount of time we spend talking on our phones or plugging into wi-fi hotpots.Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxietiesDavid Carpenter，a professor of environmental health sciences at the University at Albany，in New York，thinks theres a greater than 95% chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemiaAlso theres a greater than 90% chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors.But others believe these concerns are unreasonable paranoia (猜疑)DrMartha Linet，the head of radiation epidemiology at the US National Cancer Institute，has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion“I dont support warning labels for cellphones，” said Linet“We dont have the evidence that theres much danger.”Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs and illness so weak that it might not exist at allA multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer，in 13 countries outside the US，has been underway for several yearsIts funded in part by the European Union，in part by a cellphone industry groupAccording to Robert Park，a professor of physics at the University of Maryland in the US，the magnetic waves arent nearly powerful enough to break apart DNA，which is now known threats，such as UV rays and X-rays，cause cancer.Perhaps its just psychologicalSome experts find that the electro-sensitivity syndrome seems to be similar to chemical sensitivity syndrome，which is a condition thats considered to be psychological.Whether EMFs are harmful or not，a break in the countryside，without the cellphone，would probably be good for all of us.四、单词拼写（共1小题）11.Living a positive life is all about creating positive habits to help you focus on what truly 1_(要紧)This is the secret of super positive peopleHere are some simple ideas to help you f _2_ their footsteps.
