VI. READING
Reading 1: Read the passage and choose the correct answer
In American, although most men still do less housework than their wives, that gap has been halved since the
1960s. Today, 41 per cent of couples say they share childcare equally, compared with 25 percent in 1985.
Men's greater involvement at home is good for their relationships with their spouses, and also good for their
children. Hands-on fathers make better parents than men who let their wives do all the nurturing and childcare.
They raise sons who are more expressive and daughters who are more likely to do well in school - especially in
math and science.
In 1900, life expectancy in the United States was 47 years, and only four per cent of the population was 65
or older. Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025, it is estimated about 20 per cent of the U.S.
population will be 65 or older. For the first time, a generation of adults must plan for the needs of both their
parents and their children. Most Americans are responding with remarkable grace. One in four households
gives the equivalent of a full day a week or more in unpaid care to an aging relative, and more than half say
they expect to do so in the next 10 years. Older people are less likely to be impoverished or incapacitated by
illness than in the past, and have more opportunity to develop a relationship with their grandchildren.
Even some of the choices that worry people the most are turning out to be manageable. Divorce rates are
likely to remain high, and in many cases marital breakdown causes serious problems for both adults and kids.
Yet when parents minimize conflict, family bonds can be maintained. And many families are doing this. More
non-custodial parents are staying in touch with their children. Child-support receipts are rising. A lower
proportion of children from divorced families are exhibiting problems than in earlier decades. And stepfamilies
are learning to maximize children's access to supportive adults rather than cutting them off from one side of the
family.
1. Which of the following can be the most suitable heading for paragraph 1?

A. Men's involvement at home B. Benefits of men's involvement at home C. Drawbacks of

men's involvement at home D. Children studying math and science
2. Nowadays, ____ of men help take care of children.

3. According to the writer, old people in the USA

____. A. are experiencing a shorter life expectancy
B. receive less care from their children than they used to
8
C. have better relationships with their children and grandchildren
D. may live in worst living conditions
4. The word "manageable” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ____.

5. The word “this” in the paragraph 3 refers to ____.

A. getting divorced B. minimizing conflict C. causing problems to kids D. maintaining bonds
Reading 2: Read the passage and choose the correct answer
Generally, friendship exists for three reasons: virtue; usefulness; or pleasure. When virtue is the reason,
friendship exists for the sake of friendship; where both like each other and cherish each other for some
creditable values in the other's personality. You know that you would even die to swear your friendship for that
person. You also know that the other would make you live than die for him/her regardless of intelligence,
handsomeness, utility or the capability of giving pleasure.
A friendship of the second kind is formed for the practical value of it. How useful so and so is to me?
What can I benefit from him? Will he use his reputation and influence to fetch me a good job? Thus a person
may maintain relationship for practical, professional, and political reasons. However, once we do away with
the usefulness, the friendship eventually dies.
Friendship of the third kind is formed essentially on account of the pleasure the relationship can give.
He is a joker. The moment he enters, you forget all your worries. She is cute, intelligent and charming. The
very notion that she is your friend makes you feel proud. The point rests here: How good is he/she in giving me
pleasure physically, emotionally, mentally and materially?
Now to the question: Which of the three is good? The second type is good, yet since basing on utility, it
falls short of longevity and quality. The third type is good too, but how long one enjoys only pleasure in life?
But the first type, virtue-based friendship is fantastic for this reason: it lasts till the end of this universe.
1. From paragraph 1, we can infer that ____.
A. Real friendship does not count one person's cleverness, appearance, utility and his/her aptitude for
creating fun.
