A new U.S.-wide study shows the wealth of a married person is almost double that of somebody who is single. If you really want to increase your wealth, get married and stay married. On the other hand, divorce can destroy your wealth, said Jay Zagorsky, author of the study. Married people will see an increase in wealth that is more than just adding the assets of two single people, ac-cording to the study published in the Journal of Sociology. Those who remained together saw a 93 percent gain in wealth pared to that of a single person, while individuals facing divorce saw their financial situation worsen long before they finally divorced, according to Zagorsky. The study used data from surveys taken over a 15-year period involving 9,055 Americans who were between 21 and 28 years old in 1985. Those who remained single had a steady, but slow growth in wealth, from less than $2,000 at the start of the surveys up to an average of about $11,000 after 15 years. However, those who married and stayed that way showed a sharp increase in wealth after marriage, growing to an average $43,000 by the 10th year of marriage or by about 16 percent a year. For people who married and then divorced, there was a slow build-up of wealth during the early years of marriage and then a steady decrease about four years before divorce. The study also showed doubt about a mon idea that divorce was much harder financially on women than on men. In fact, it showed that women suffered financially only slightly more than men.62.

Lately that discussion has centered on concerns that boys are not doing as well as girls. The newspaper Education Week noted that, in some ways, what people are worried about now is not really new. Boys have scored lower than girls on tests in the National Assessment of Educational Progress since at least 1971. And the differences are not limited to the United States. Education Week noted the results of an international reading test in xx. 15-year-olds took the test in 41 countries. Girls scored higher than boys in almost every country. Differences between males and females are a continuing issue of fierce debate. Cultural and economic influences play an important part. But recent findings suggest that another part of the answer lies in differences between the male and female brain. These include differences in learning rates. As a result, some researchers say, boys may not be able to develop language and reading skills as well as girls do. In the past, there was a lot of concern about girls not doing well in school, especially in math and science classes. Efforts to improve the situation for girls included hiring more female teachers. Yet some people think the opposite situation exists now. They say not enough male teachers is one reason why _. Another explanation being heard involves the increased testing in American schools. Some people say schools are preparing for these important tests by forcing boys to sit quietly at their desks. They say this is unfair. Still others say that society is failing boys by giving them the message that studying is not manly. 66. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)67. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? According to recent findings, the ability of boys to develop language and reading skills is not as good as girls.68. Please fill in the blank in the 4th paragraph with proper words or phrases to plete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)69. In your opinion, which of the reasons why boys arent doing as well as girls is the most important one? What should we do to improve the situation? (Please answer within 35 words.)70.

All the members of my family enjoy reading the recipes in the magazine, as well as the Styles section. My children are crazy about their sports section. The Times is great, but the Gazette is another story. Ive never read an article that doesnt contain at least three or four spelling or grammatical errors. For example, in last weeks issue, you misspelled the word secretary, used a singular verb with a plural noun, and used its as a possessive(所属的). And that was just in the lead story! In case you never went to elementary school, its means it is. Its not a possessive pronoun! In another case, the re-port you gave on an event was pletely different from other newspapers. I didnt know what the reason was. Its a pity that this city, Smithville, Wisconsin, has only one newspaper, because Id like to have an alternative to the newspaper you publish. I find it hard to believe your news stories. If you cant spell correctly, how can you get your facts right? Ive been meaning to get this off my chest for some time. Please cancel my subscription(订阅). And buy your-self a dictionary. Sincerely, Jane Z. Jones 1. In which city does the writer live and work? A. Washington D. C. B. New York City.C. Smithville, Wisconsin. D. Gazette.2.

We had different opinions. Some thought the super girls had sincere feelings and good personalities. Every participant in the con-test was given a chance to achieve her dream of being a star. Others didnt agree. They thought the super girls didnt have good professional skills. The judge made foolish ments and the results were not fair or reliable. In fact the biggest winners were the sponsors all the panies and the TV station. I dont like this program but I think a good society can be tolerant of different styles. People can have their own personalities. We neednt ask everyone to follow them and nor should we forbid them. Let them be.附加题:1-4 CADB重点解析21. C。present 表示提出,提交,呈递。本句话的意思是会上提交了大约三百篇论文。23.
