A tender woman, or an independent one, which one would you prefer? Arecent research shows that most people would choose the latter.
This type of woman is called a nühanzi (“tough woman”). Experts believethese characteristics have social and psychological roots among young femalesin China. Su Hao’s friends all call her a tough woman, because she can finishtough tasks usually carried out by men. For example, she carries 10-litre waterto her dormitory on the 5th floor. “I depend on no one but myself,” she says.
According to a recent survey by China Youth Daily, tough women havebecome rather common in society. Of the 21,265 respondents, 78.5 percent saidthey are familiar with a tough woman. About 50 percent said they like womenwith tough characteristics, while less than 29 percent expressed the oppositeview.
Why are tough women gaining popularity? Shen Meng, a psychologicalconsultant, believes the fierce competition in society is contributing to thistrend. “Women are often in a disadvantaged position compared to men,” Shensays. “In order to survive, they have to be independent, strong and tough.” Liu
Xiaolin, professor of psychology at Wuhan Mental Health Center, believestough women are brought up this way. They are often on close relationship withtheir fathers, who teach their daughters to be brave and decisive,” he says. As aresult, these women are more likely to be psychologically healthy and moretolerant to stress, according to Liu.
Though Liu believes that this is a good trend, Hu Shenzhi, a psychologistat the Guangdong Sunflower Counseling Center, says the popularity of toughwoman indicates an unclear line between gender identities, which can lead torelationship problems. “Some women with characteristics that differ from thetraditional female image may have a difficult time finding Mr Right,” he says.“Even if they get married, their manly characteristics might cause familyconflicts.
24. Which of the followings does NOT belong to the characteristics of a tough
woman?
A. She is soft and tender to others.
B. She is independent of others in daily life.
C. She is more tolerant to stress.
D. She can solve problems usually for men.
25. How many respondents like tough women?
A. about 16,700. B. 21,265.
C. about 6,200 D. about 10,600.
26. Why are there more tough women nowadays?
A. Because tough women are more lovely.
B. Because of the fierce competition in society.
C. Because more women want to be independent.
D. Because girls often love fathers more.
27. What problems may tough women have in their life?
A. It’s difficult for them to be friends.
B. They often suffer gender confusion.
C. They may have difficulty with marriage.
D. They have different characteristics form traditional female images.
C
We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect theschool and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the nameof equality, want only to destroy it.
Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards ofachievement must regularly test its pupils.The standards may be changed—noexamination is perfect—but to have tests or examinations would mean the endof equality and of standards.There are groups of people who oppose this viewand who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or onteachers.This would mean that everything would depend on luck since everypupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of eachteacher.
Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highlyrespected schools and from families known to them -a form of favoritismwill replace equality.At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respectedschool can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while thelack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending awell-respected school.This defending of excellence and opportunity woulddisappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poorfamily would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation(声誉), unable tocompete for employment with the child from the favored school.
The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are anevil force because they show differences between pupils.According to thesepeople, there must be no special, different, academic class.They have evensuggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area:all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection.The selection wouldbe made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computers.28.The word “favoritism” is used to describe the phenomenon that _____.
A.children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs
B.bright children also need certificates go get satisfying jobs.
C.poor children with certificates are favored in job markets
D.children attending ordinary schools achieve great success
29.What would happen if exams were taken away according to the author?
A.Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.
B.There would be more opportunities and excellence.
C.Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.
D.Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.
30.The opponents of the examination system will agree that _____.
A.computers should be selected to take over many jobs
B.jobs should not be assigned(分配) by systematic selection
C.special classes are necessary to keep the school standards
D.schools with academic subjects should be done away with
31.The passage mainly focuses on _____.
A.examination and equality B. schools and certificates
C.opportunity and employment D. standards and reputation
D
As you are probably aware，the latest job markets news isn’t good：Unemployment is still more than 9 percent，and new job growth has fallen closeto zero.That’s bad for the economy，of course.And it may be especiallydiscouraging if you happen to be looking for a job or hoping to change careersright now.But it actually shouldn’t matter to you nearly as much as you think.That’s because job growth numbers don’t matter to job hunters as much as jobstaff-turnover(人员流动)data.After all，existing jobs open up every day due topromotions，resignations(辞职)，and retirements.(Yes，people are retiring evenin this economy.)In both good times and bad，staff-turnover creates moreopenings than economic growth does.Even in June of 2014，when the economywas still booming along，job growth was only 132，000，while staff-turnoverwas 4.7 million!
And as it turns out，even today—with job growth near zero—over 4 millionjob hunters are being hired every month.
I don’t mean to imply that overall job growth doesn’t have an impact onone’s ability to land a job.It’s true that if total employment were higher.itwould mean more jobs for all of us to choose from(and compete for).And it'strue that there are currently more people applying for each available jobopening，regardless of whether it’s a new one or not.
But what often distinguishes those who land jobs from those who don’t istheir ability to stay motivated.They’re willing to do the hard work ofidentifying their valuable skills;be creative about where and how to look;learnhow to present themselves to potential employers;and keep going，even afterrepeated rejections.The Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that 2.7 millionpeople who wanted and were available for work hadn’t hunted for it within thelast four weeks and were no longer even classified as unemployed.
So don’t let the headlines fool you into giving up.Four million people gethired every month in the U.S..You can be one of them.
32.The author tends to believe that high unemployment rate____.
A.takes job opportunities from people
B.prevents many people from changing careers
C.does not mean the U.S. economy is worsening
D.should not stop people from looking for a job
33.What does the author say about overall job growth?
A.It increases people’s confidence in the economy.
B.It doesn’t have much effect on individual job seekers.
C.It gives a ray of hope to the unemployed.
D.It doesn’t mean greater job security for the employed.
34.What is the key to finding a job according to the author?
A.Education B.Intelligence
C.Experience D.Persistence
35.What do we learn about The Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data?
A.They clearly indicate how healthy the economy is.
B.They don’t include those who have stopped looking for a job.
C.They provide the public with the latest information.
D.They warn of the structural problems in the economy.
