請認真閱讀下面短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個最恰當的單詞。注意：每個空格只填1個單詞。
In the United States, engineering is a profession that has been dominated（支配）historically by men. Even today, it's still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical（機械的） engineers, but that's something www.EngineerGirl.org aims to change. Young women who visit the web site can find out about a great career choice they might not have considered.
"Women are very much underrepresented in engineering and in engineering education programs and then of course, down the road, in the engineering workforce. So only about 20 percent of engineering undergraduate degrees go to women, and then only about nine percent of working engineers are women."
Mary Mattis is the National Academy of Engineering, says the EngineerGirl website aims to reach young women around ages 11 through 14, when they are just getting old enough to start thinking about their futures.
"We know from the research that middle-school girls are at a critical（關鍵的）point in their lives, and that it's a time when we need to reach them, both with an understanding, increasing their awareness of interesting fields in engineering, what a wonderful productive and exciting career you can have as an engineer. But we also need to reach them at that time because you have to take certain courses, and you can't start thinking about taking those courses when you're a junior in high school."
Engineering is a demanding course of study ---there is a lot of science and mathematics, for many girls and even boys, that can be challenging. But Ms. Mattis says that the EngineerGirl website stresses that engineering can also be fun and exciting.
"It's about designing things. It's about changing the world for people. It's about making a difference. And, in addition, you can make a good living, you can be independent economically by becoming an engineer. All of those things are messages that girls need to get."
While most engineers go into traditional fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering, the EngineerGirl site also highlights unusual engineering careers in fields such as sports engineering and --- believe it or not --- chocolate engineering.
"There's a section called 'why be an engineer,' and that talks about the many opportunities and increasingly different opportunities like with bio-engineering and environmental engineering, some fields that might appeal to girls who want to make a difference or have a meaning for their careers beyond earning an income."
Even if you are not a girl in the target age group, there’s a lot of interesting information on the site, including biographies（傳記）of some notable（顯著的）women engineers.
Title : Website（1）______ Girls to learn Engineering
Present （2）_____ for the engineering profession in the USA
The majority of men take up the profession throughout（3） ______, while only a small number of women work as engineers.
（4）_____ of the website
To  make  young  women （5）_____ of interesting  fields  in engineering and what productivity and（6）_____ the career of being engineers can bring them.

* It can be fun and exciting.
* It can（8）_____ the world for people.
* You can make a good living.

Almost all theme park accidents can be prevented. Here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.
If you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them what they should do. They are depending upon you to keep them safe. Set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules, too.
Tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle. Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too. And never put a crying child on a ride. If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed. Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do. 
Young kids can’t keep an adult’s pace in a theme park. Let them take plenty of breaks.
“Kids get tired,” said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four. “Tired kids make parents even more tired. And tired kids and parents may get hurt — physically and emotionally.” He advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds. “You will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”
小題1:The second paragraph tells readers that ______.
A．children should be trained to be more independent
B．adults should tell children some safety rules firstly
C．adults should set a good example to conduct well in a theme park
D．there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park
小題2:Which of the following is NOT right for children who are taking the rides?
A．They cannot put their hands away from the grab bar.
B．They are forbidden to put their knees or feet out.
C．They should ask adults’ permission first to get on a ride.
D．Without adults’ okay sign, children shouldn’t get off a ride.
小題3:If your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride, you should ______.
A．tell him to be relaxedB．make him share your interest
C．give up the present activityD．encourage him to be brave
小題4:We may infer from Matt Johnson’s words that ______.
A．he doesn’t like to visit a theme park with his children
B．parents with many children may be tired of visiting a theme park
C．not all the families are relaxed or happy when they visit a theme park
D．visitors should arrange everything carefully before starting
小題5:What is the meaning of the underlined word “exit” in the third paragraph?
A．等待B．發(fā)現C．進入D．離開

People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It’s something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. I don’t mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.
Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend (傳奇) among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.
I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity (不安全感) and this insecurity prevents us from reading out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.
小題1:. In the author’s view, shyness can be explained as _________.
A．a disease that can be easily cured
B．a not very normal mental condition
C．an emotional disability
D．something we pick up after birth
小題2:. The author believes it’s a waste of time to ____________
A．develop a healthy personality
B．talk with as many people as possible
C．study where shyness comes from
D．look for ways to do away with one’s shyness
小題3:. Which of the following is TRUE of Johnny Carson?
A．He dared to speak in front of a national audience.
B．He did away with his shyness carefully.
C．He was described as a hero in some legend books.
D．He failed to become a good talk show host.
小題4:. The author thinks that our shyness is there because _______
A．we are not open enough
B．we don’t feel safe at heart
C．we try to reach out to others all the time
D．we lack certain social skills

Animals seem to have the sense (本能) to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need．It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant（香的） flavor (味道) was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rats did seem to prefer it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water．In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were．
In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria（自助） feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them．They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in．We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet．
So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them．Apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could．Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established（長期養(yǎng)成的）habits．Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs．So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them．
53．The expression “the habit” in paragraph 1 refers to drinking water which _______．
A. has no smell    B. is tasteless    C. has vitamins   D. is flavored (有味道的)
小題1:According to the passage, adults eating habits differ from those of babies because _______．
A．adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their health
B．adults usually cannot resist (抵制) the temptation (誘惑) of various delicious foods
C．adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs
D．adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns
小題2:The author implied in the passage that most of us _______．
A．eat a balanced diet
B．choose the food that is of nutrition
C．have the habits influenced by the surroundings
D．like to eat the food with a fragrant flavor．
小題3:As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that _______．
A．both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet
B．both prefer flavored food and drink
C．both have the same eating patterns
D．both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors

People in the United States honour their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.
These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers are now working outside home. More fathers must help with the children care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother, while a black one shows the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honour parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit cemetery ( 墓地). On these days, families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is the thought that counts. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
小題1:Which of the following is NOT a reason for parents show love and respect for parents?
A．Parents bring up children
B．Parents give love and care to children
C．Parents educate children to be good persons
D．Parents pass away before children grow up
小題2:Which do you think is true about “carnation” mentioned in paragraph 3?
A．It has only two kinds of colours
B．It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’Day
C．It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.
D．People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May
小題3: What can we learn from the passage?
A．Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May
B．Fewer women worked outside the home in the past
C．Not all the children respect their parents
D．Fathers are not as important as mothers
小題4: On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, ____________.
A．people usually have family partiesB．everyone goes to visit the cemetery
C．children always go to parents’ homeD．hand-made cards are not valuable

For much of the world, vegetarianism (素食主義) is largely a matter of economics: Meat costs a lot more than beans or rice, so meat becomes a special-occasion dish. Even where meat is more plentiful, it’s still used in control, and it often provides a side note to a meal rather than taking center stage.
In countries like the United States where meat is not as expensive, though, people choose to be vegetarians for reasons other than cost. Parental preferences(父母親的偏愛), religious or other beliefs, and health problems are among the most common reasons for choosing to be a vegetarian. Many people choose a vegetarian diet out of concern over animal rights or the environment. And lots of people have more than one reason for choosing vegetarianism.
Different people follow different forms of vegetarianism. A true vegetarian eats no meat at all, including chicken and fish. A lactoovo(乳制品)  vegetarian eats dairy products  and eggs, but keeps out meat, fish, and chicken. It follows, then, that a lacto(乳，乳汁) vegetarian eats dairy products but not eggs, and an ovo （蛋，雞蛋） vegetarian eats eggs but not dairy products.
A stricter form of vegetarianism is veganism. Not only are eggs and dairy products excluded (排除) from a vegan diet, so are animal products like honey. Some macrobiotic (養(yǎng)生的) diets fall into the vegan category. Macrobiotic diets limit not only animal products but also refined（經過提煉的） and processed foods, foods with preservatives, and foods that contain caffeine or other stimulants (刺激物).
Following a macrobiotic or vegan diet could lead to nutritional deficiencies (營養(yǎng)不足) in some people. Teens need to be sure their diets include enough nutrients to fuel growth, particularly protein and calcium (鈣). If you’re interested in following a vegan or macrobiotic diet it’s a good idea to talk to a registered dietitian（營養(yǎng)學家）. He or she can help you design meal plans that include enough nutrients.
小題1:The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably means ______.
A．there is usually a note beside the meat in a meal
B．meat often attracts people’s attention in a meal
C．meat is served only a small amount in a meal
D．meat should play an important part in a meal
小題2:Which of the following is NOT the reason for Americans being vegetarians?
A．They are environmentally friendly.
B．They are concerned about the rights of animals.
C．They worry about their own health.
D．They can’t afford to buy meat.
小題3: A vegan diet will include ______.
A．neither animal products nor diary products
B．diary products but no eggs
C．animal products like honey
D．processed food
小題4: According to the passage, the author would probably think that ______.
A．all the people should become vegetarians
B．teens should be careful to be vegetarians
C．vegetarianism is not a good thing for the world
D．vegetarianism can make a country develop faster

What does “getting along” with your teacher mean? “Getting along” means that both you and your teacher have a way of communicating and getting what you need from the relationship. In your teacher’s opinion, he or she wants to make sure that you are paying attention, being polite, and trying your best to learn. In your opinion, you want a teacher who is respectful to you, answers your questions, and tries to help you learn. You can get along and learn without being friends with your teacher, although it’s nice if that happens.
In every school, kids will say that some teachers are mean or strict, but don’t judge a teacher until you are in his or her class and can see for yourself. A strict teacher may be someone who feels strong about getting his or her job done — teaching you the subject you are supposed to learn. It’s also important to remember that making mistakes is a part of learning. By pointing out your mistakes and helping you correct them, a teacher is teaching you. Remember, in most cases, your teacher is on your side.
Even if a teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship, especially if you carry out your responsibilities as a student. Here are some of those responsibilities:
●Attend class ready to learn. Be prepared for class with the right pencils and books.
●Listen carefully when your teacher is talking.
●Do your best, whether it’s classroom work, homework, or a test.
小題1:The main idea of this passage is about _______.
A．learning from your teacher
B．making friends with your teacher

D．understanding your teacher
小題2: If you get along with your teacher, _______.
A．your teacher will have to answer your questions
B．both of you will benefit from the relationship
C．your teacher will have to be respectful to you
D．you will have to try your best to learn
小題3:What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph mean?
A．Your teacher is teaching you to learn the subjects.
B．The teacher has the responsibility to be strict with students.
C．Pointing out your mistakes is also a way for a teacher to teach.
D．The teacher is there to help you.
