His Own Way to Express Love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn&39;t do anything romantic; we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future. This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is an unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken (直言不讳) girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that he is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: "If one does not love you the-way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you." This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dormitory and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. After arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities (手续).When I was put on a drip (点滴), he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender (温柔的) voice,I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I fell asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later,he was still mumbling (咕哝地说) to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up. At that moment, I found love in his eyes.
Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was very angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understands me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.
Who is Andy? 查看材料
A.The writer"s father.
B.The writer"s uncle.
C.The writer"s elder brother.
D.The writer"s boyfriend.
Gender Gap
The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender (性别) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, "Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information."
After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls consistently rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom.
An instructor of a computer lab says he&39;s already noticed some differences. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, "Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow."
Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls&39; computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould says, "The number one reason girls told us they don&39;t like computer games is not that they&39;re too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they&39;re incredibly boring."
Purple Moon says it found what girls want, characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what&39;s going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says, "What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic (固有的 ) reason why they wouldn&39;t want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing."
The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21 st century.
According to the passage, girls are victims of the gender gap in technology because__________. 查看材料
A.they can not discover new ways to use computers
B.they have the same access to computers as boys
C.they are likely to be less comfortable with computers
D.they can only use computers for word processing

Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the loveyou share in your relationships, and I couldn&39;t agree more.But money comes into play inthose relationships.
When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to meand says, "Suze, you are so wrong.Money isn&39;t the key to life--this is!" At which point their wal-let flies open and they show me a photo of their family.
That&39;s when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take thatphoto with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family va-cation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college?
As their answers are"yes", I ask them how they provide all of that for their.family.That&39;swhen they understand that I had it fight.
I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being;without mean-ingful relationships, there&39;s no chance of ever being truly happy.That&39;s why, every Saturdaynight, I end my CNBC show with the following words:" People first.Then money.Then things."
How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness.Over the past few decades (十年), the percentage of Americans who say they&39;re happy hasn&39;t changed much, while at thesame time the average income has doubled.So we have more money, but we&39;re not much happieron average.
A paradox(悖论) ? Far from it.My sense is that while we&39;re making more money, we arent&39;tmaking more of the money we make.We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry a-bout saving for retirement(退休) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did.And as man-y of you know, it&39;s really hard to increase your happiness when you&39;ve got a lot of money worries.
Do you agree, or am I way off base? I&39;d love to know what do you think about the money/happiness connection.
