14.AHow many men do housework?Recently a European Commission tried to find out people's ideas and reactions to the women's movement.As part of their survey,they asked many men and women the question,"Who does the housework?"The men answered very differently from the women!
The housework they asked people about were:preparing meals,washing dishes,cleaning the house and babysitting.48% of British husbands said they did these things.37% of Danish men helped in the house.But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework,many of them said they never helped at all!
But there was an interesting point of view from the wives.According to British wives,only 38% of their husbands helped in the house.And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped.The Italian and British men did not tell the truth!The Commission found that Danish men were the most trustful husbands; their answers were the same as their wives'answers.
Do the men you know help in the house?Do you think the survey gives a true picture in your experience?Write and tell us what you think.

5.Sit up straight.Say please and thank you.Don't put your elbows on the table.Most of us were drilled from an early age in proper manners and etiquette.But manners and etiquette (33)canvary widely in different cultures.
Take table manners for example.In many parts of the world,it's considered rude to make noises when eating.The Japanese,however,think it customary to make some slurping(嘖嘖的) noises while eating noodles.They say the noodles taste better.A person who eats noodles (34)withoutmaking any sound could seem strange in Japan.
Another interesting cultural difference is portrayed in a TV advertisement (35)set(set) in an Asian city.It shows an Asian family inviting a westerner to dinner.The Asians prepare a lot of food to show the guest (36)theyare hospitable(殷勤好客的).Westerners are taught to"clean their plates"and think it's impolite to leave food in the dishes.So the guest tries to finish his meal without leaving (37)anythingon his dishes.However,an Asian host sees an empty dish as a sign (38)thatthe guest wants more food.In the ad,the host immediately prepares more food for the guest,who tries to finish his food again just to show his manners.It becomes a circle of misunderstanding.
Differences are also seen in other aspects.While extending a hand to shake the hand of a person you're meeting with (39)seems(seem) to most of us a universal way of showing friendliness,an Orthodox Jew (東正猶太教徒) will not shake hands with someone of the opposite sex.Similarly,a strict Muslim woman will not shake hands with a man,though a Muslim man will shake hands with a non-Muslim woman.People in these cultures generally avoid (40)touching(touch) people of the opposite sex who are not family members.

5.Spending as little as  5a day on someone else could significantly(較大地) boost happiness,the team at the University of British Columbia found.
Their experiments on more than 630Americans showed they were measurably (可測量出) happier when they spent money on others-even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.
"We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,"said Elizabeth Dunn,a psychologist(心理學家) at the University of British Columbia.They asked their 600volunteers first to rate (評估) their general happiness,report their annual income (年收入) and detail their monthly spending including bills,gifts for themselves,gifts for others and donations to charity.
"No matter how much income each person made,those who spent money on others reported greater happiness,while those who spent more on themselves did not,"Dunn said in a statement.
Dunn's team also surveyed 16employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit sharing bonus(紅利)of between  3,000and  8,000."Employees who devoted more of their bonus to prosocial (支持社會) spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus,and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,"they wrote in their report,published in the journal Science.
They gave their volunteers  5or  20and half and clear instructions on how to spend it.Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.
"These findings suggest that very minor changes in spending allocations (津貼)-as little as $ 5-may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,"Dunn said.
32.What is the general idea of the passage?D
A.The more you earn,the greater happiness you will get.
B.Spending more money on yourself will make you happier.
C.You can spend only  5a day on someone else to get happiness.
D.If you spend money on someone else,you will feel happier.
33.The underlined word"boost"in the first paragraph probably meansB.
A.help to find    B.help to increase  C.help to bring  D.help to get
34.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?C
A.Very small changes in spending your money may be enough to gain happiness.
B.People usually think spending money on themselves will make them happier.
C.Those who spend more money on others can get much more bonus.
D.Researchers think that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn.
35.Dunn isA.
A.a(chǎn) psychologist at a university      
B. an employee in a company
C.a(chǎn) reporter in a journal            
D.a(chǎn) volunteer in the experiment.
