“Privacy” is translated as“yin si”in Chinese. Traditionally, in the Chinese mind,“yin si”is associated with that which is closed or unfair. If someone is said to have“yin si”, meddlers (好事者) will be attracted to pry(打探)into his or her affairs. So people always state that they don't have“yin si”.
On the contrary, Americans often declare their intention to protect their privacy. Their understanding of privacy is that others have no right to pry into things which belong to themselves alone and have nothing to do with others. One who is too curious and who spreads rumors is said to violate the right to privacy.
In the evening, Sonia and I went to a bar for dinner. In China, when people mention bars, something bad usually comes to mind. But here, the bar was a quiet and tastefully laid out place. People spoke quite softly, afraid of interrupting their neighbors, and sat face to face as they drank, sometimes three or five persons sitting together.
This sort of atmosphere was totally different from my preconception(傳統(tǒng)觀念), so I wanted to take a picture. Sonia stopped me:“Don't you see these people are pouring out their hearts? Maybe they are colleagues, friends, secret lovers. They came here looking for a peaceful place free from interruption by others. They wouldn't want to leave any trace of their having come here. So taking their pictures would be a serious violation of their right to privacy.”
Is there privacy between husband and wife? One of Sonia's friends married a talented Chinese man, but recently she became so angry that she wanted a divorce(離婚). The reason was that her husband had opened one of her letters and looked through her purse. The husband didn't realize that this is not tolerated in the U.S. He thought that being a couple was like being one person; why couldn't he see the letter or the contents of the purse? Truly, everyone, even those living as a couple, needs room--not only in three-dimensional(三維) space, but in the heart.
1．What is the main idea of the text?
[ ]
A．The understanding of“privacy”is different in China and America.
B．There is privacy between husband and wife in America.
C．Everyone has the right to privacy.
D．Everyone in every country needs room for himself.
2．Sonia stopped me when I wanted to take a picture in the bar because _____.
[ ]
A．taking pictures in a bar was not allowed in America
B．taking pictures in a bar would interrupt the neighbors
C．people who came here are colleagues，friends or secret lovers
D．taking pictures in a bar would violate other people's right to privacy
3．One of Sonia's friends wanted a divorce because _____.
[ ]
A．she thought her husband was not clever enough
B．her husband always opened her letters
C．her husband always looked through her purse
D．her husband didn't respect her right to privacy
4．Which of the following statements is NOT the Americans' understanding of privacy?
[ ]
A．Privacy is connected with something that is unfair and bad.
B．Other people have no right to pry into his or her affairs.
C．There is privacy even between couples.
D．The right to privacy shouldn't be violated by others.
5．According to this text, we can infer that in America we can do all the following except _____.
[ ]
A．declaring that we have privacy
B．going to a bar with friends
C．a(chǎn)sking your friends about their marriage
D．taking pictures in a national park

Spanish men will have to learn to change diapers and do dishwashing under the terms of a new law designed to strike a blow.
The law, due to be passed this month, is likely to cause a revolution in family affairs in a country where 40% of men reportedly don’t do housework at all. It will oblige men to “share domestic responsibilities and the care and attention” of children and elderly family members, according to the draft approved by the Spanish parliament’s justice commission.
“This will be a good way of reminding people what their duties are. It is something feminists (女權(quán)主義者) have been wanting for a long time,” said Margarita Uria, of the Basque Nationalist Party, who was behind what is an amendment to a new divorce law.
Failure to meet the obligations will be taken into consideration by judges when determining the terms of divorces. Men who refuse to do their part may be given less frequent contact with their children.
Spanish women spend five times longer on housework than husbands. Even when both have jobs outside the home, Spanish women still do three times as much work in the house.
“It is not just about housework, though,” said Ms. Uria.
A study five years ago by Spain’s Center for Sociological Investigation concluded that fathers spent an average of 13 minutes each day looking after their children.
Only 19 % of Spanish men thought it was right for mothers of school-age children to have a full-time job. More than a third thought mothers should not work outside the home at all.
The Change to the Spanish legal code will see domestic obligations added to a list of marital(婚姻的) duties that currently includes fidelity, living together and helping one another.
That should guarantee that, when the law—which will also make divorce proceedings faster and easier—is voted on in parliament in the next few weeks, the obligation to share domestic chores will be added to the statute books.
What is the percentage of Spanish men who don’t do any housework?
A. 19% B. 40% C. 60% D. 80%
About the new law, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Men are obliged to do housework.
B. Men will have to take care of children.
C. Women have to have full-time jobs.
D. Men will have to take care of the elderly.
According to the fourth paragraph, which of the following is TRUE?
A. If a man fails to fulfill the obligation, he will get a divorce.
B. If a man fails to fulfill the obligation, he will be thrown to the jail.
C. If a man fails to fulfill the obligation, he will be in an unfavorable condition in a divorce.
D. If a man fails to fulfill the obligation, he will not be allowed to see the child any more.
What is the general topic of the passage?
A. Spain will pass a new law to oblige men to share domestic responsibilities.
B. Men have to share more domestic responsibilities.
C. There will be a revolution by provoked (被激怒的) feminists.
D. Marital laws in Spain are not enough yet.

In times of economic crisis. Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. But this won't necessarily represent. an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis will probably do the same.
We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses, By 1932. when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929 But this doesn't mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn't afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse could manage alone.
Today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households, Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.
After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities, A 1940 book. The Unemployed Man and His Family, described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job "with tireless search for work."He was always active, looking for odd jobs to do.
The problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain Across the country, many similar families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale(士氣). For some, the hardships of life without steady work eventually overwhelmed their attempts to keep their families together. The divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold.
Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the current crisis, working together and supporting one another through the early months of unemployment.
Today's economic crisis could well generate a similar number of couples whose relationships have been irreparably(無法彌補(bǔ)地)ruined. So it's only when the economy is healthy again that we'll begin to see just how many broken families have been created.
1.In the initial stage, the current economic crisis is likely to __________.
A.tear many troubled families apart
B.contribute to enduring family ties
C.bring about a drop in the divorce rate
D.cause a lot of conflicts in the family
2.In the Great Depression many unhappy couples close to stick together because
A.starting a new family would be hard
B.they expected things would turn better
C.they wanted to better protect their kids
D.living separately would be too costly
3.In addition to job losses. What stands in the way of unhappy couples getting a divorce?
A.Mounting family debts
B.A sense of insecurity
C.Difficulty in getting a loan
D.Falling housing prices
4.What will the current economic crisis eventually do to some married couples?
A.It will force them to pull their efforts together
B.It will undermine their mutual understanding
C.It will help strengthen their emotional bonds
D.It will irreparably damage their relationship
5.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The economic recovery will see a higher divorce rate
B.Few couples can stand the test of economic hardships
C.A stable family is the best protection against poverty.
D.Money is the foundation of many a happy marriage
