听力原文： My father was a very soft-spoken man, however, he had some very definite ideas about money and work. He believed that work was good for the soul and, besides, money could come in very handy. Papa also felt that the best way to get a job was to already have one.

As a teenager, I remember my father being delighted when my brother landed a job working for a major hamburger chain. My brother wasn't very happy about the job but desperately wanted the money necessary to buy his own ear. Although the position was as unglamorous as they come, my father felt that it was a good beginning. He believed that if you had a job, it would show other employers that you are worth hiring.

Even to this day, I never resign a position until I am offered another one. Papa's wise counsel has helped me to be gainfully employed ever since I graduated from college. Although papa died a few years ago,' his wisdom will be passed on to generation upon generation.

(30)

A．He was indifferent to his job.

B．He was happy about his job.

C．He was unhappy about his job.

D．He was satisfied with his job.

Questions are based on the following passage.

It is a wise father that knows his own child， but today a man can boost his paternal （fatherly）wisdom —— or at least confirm that he"s the kid"s dad. All he needs to do is shell out $30 forpaternity testing kit （PTK） at his local drugstore —— and another $120 to get the results.

More than 60，000 people have purchased the PTKs since they first become availablewithout prescriptions last years， according to Doug Fogg， chief operating officer ofIdentigene， which makes the over-the-counter kits. More than two dozen companies sell DNAtests directly to the public， ranging in price from a few hundred dollars to more than $2，500.

Among the most popular: paternity and kinship testing， which adopted children can useto find their biological relatives and families can use to track down kids put up for adoption，DNA testing is also the latest rage among passionate genealogists —— and supports businessesthat offer to search for a family"s geographic roots.

Most tests require collecting cells by webbing saliva （唾液） in the mouth and sending it tothe company for testing. All tests require a potential candidate with whom to compare DNA.

But some observers are skeptical. "There is a kind of false precision being hawked bypeople claiming they are doing ancestry testing，" says Trey Duster， a New York Universitysociologist. He notes that each individual has many ancestors —— numbering in the hundredsjust a few centuries back. Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage （世系），either the Y chromosome （染色体） inherited through men in a father"s line or mitochondrial（线粒体） DNA， which is passed down only from mothers. This DNA can reveal geneticinformation about only one or two ancestors， even though， for example， just three generationsback people also have six other great-grandparents or， four generations back，14 other great-great-grandparents.

Critics also argue that commercial genetic testing is only as good as the referencecollections to which a sample is compared. Databases used by some companies don"t relyon data collected systematically but rather lump together information from different researchprojects. This means that a DNA database may have a lot of data from some regions and notothers， so a person"s test results may differ depending on the company that processes theresults.

According to the passage， what is PTK used to？查看材料

A.To locate one"s birth place.

B.To promote genetic research.

C.To find out if one is the father of a child.

D.To help improve one"s intelligence.

M: Why June？

W: In 1910 Sonora chose June 19th, as the day to celebrate Father's Day because that was her father's birthday. With support from the Spokane Ministerial Association and the YMCA, the first Father's Day was celebrated in Spokane on June 19, 1910.

Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring that the third Sunday of June was Father's Day. In 1972 President Richard Nixon established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday in June.

第8题

My father had a small business, employing about 15 people at any given time. We sold all s

orts of dairy products, and many more, from a small store in front of the dairy building. During the summer months, rows of eager tourists lined up at that ice -cream counter for a taste of my father s exquisite homemade ice cream. Because it was an extremely busy little store, the employees had to work very quickly for hours at a time, with little rest. One day, in 1976, we had a new employee, Debbie, who wanted to work in the store for the summer. She had never done this type of work before, but planned to give it her all. On her first day, Debbie made just about every mistake in the book. She added up the sales wrong on the cash register. She charged the wrong prices for items. She gave the wrong bag of food to the wrong customer. And she dropped and broke a half-gallon of milk. I couldn t stand watching her struggle any longer. I went into my father s office and said, " Please go out there and put her out of her misery." I expected him to walk right into the store and fire her on the spot. Since my father s office was situated within view of the sales counter, he had no doubt seen what I was talking about. He got up from his desk and walked over to Debbie, who was standing behind the counter. "Debbie," he said, as he put his hand gently on her shoulder. "I have been watching you and I saw how you treated Mrs. Forbush." Debbie s face began to flush, and she looked as if she was about to cry. She struggled to remember Mrs. Forbush from the many women she had given the wrong change to or spilled milk on. My father continued, "I ve never seen Mrs. Forbush be so polite before. You really knew how to handle her. I am sure she is going to want you to wait on her every time she comes in. Keep up the good work." My father was a wise and compassionate employer. Because of this, Debbie became a loyal and hard-working employee for 16 years—and a friend for life.

The small business run by the author s father______.

A．barely survived this year

B．hardly made any money

C．suffered some losses

D．was quite successful

10.Athena Goddess of wisdom, war and the crafts, and favorite daughter of Zeus, Athena was, perhaps, the wisest, most courageous, and certainly the most resourceful of the Olympian gods. Objects associated with the goddess include an owl - symbol of wisdom - and the olive tree. She is often depicted in art with armor, a golden helmet, a shield, and holding a spear. Zeus was told that his son would take his throne from him, just as he had taken power from his father Cronus. Accordingly, when Metis was pregnant, he swallowed her and Athena was born from Zeus’ head, wearing armor and fully grown. A popular theme in ancient art, Hephaistos is often depicted in the role of midwife, splitting Zeus’ head with an axe. She is closely associated with Athens, the city named in her honor after the people of Attica chose her as their patron following her gift of the olive tree, symbol of peace and plenty. Protector of Heracles, Athena often aids him in his twelve labors, for example, by helping him hold the world as Atlas searches for the sacred apples of the Hesperides. Perseus was another favorite and was given a shield to protect himself in his quest to kill Medusa. Achilles is helped to kill Hector, and Odysseus too was often given the benefit of Athena’s wisdom. Athena was a major protagonist in Homer’s account of the Trojan War in the Iliad where she supports the Archaeans and their heroes, especially Achilles, to whom she gives encouragement and wise counsel. 19.Why did Zeus swallowed Metis？

A、Athena was the wisest, most courageous Olympian god.

B、Zeus was told that his son would take his throne from him.

C、Athena was born from Zeus’ head, wearing armor and fully grown.

D、Zeus had taken power from his father Cronus.
