Young women are more adventurous than young men when travelling abroad in gap years．One in three female backpackers visits more than three countries during a year out and travels alone, according to new research．
By contrast, the majority of their male counterparts（地位相當(dāng)者） visit only one country and tend to travel in groups, says a survey by the Gap Year company, which provides information and services for students considering taking a year out．
More women than men say that their prime reason for taking time off is to see the world and experience different cultures．Men are more likely to rank “having fun” higher on their list of priorities．Women are more likely to value the challenge of a foreign trip, and many cited reasons such as learning a language and meeting new people．
The more adventurous gap years taken by women seem to work to their benefit; more than three quarters of those surveyed have reported increased confidence, self-reliance（自立） and independence, whereas only half of the men had that experience．
The research also shows that women are more likely to do voluntary work while travelling, with more than one in ten helping with teaching or development projects．One of the reasons given for this is a wish to see the country in an authentic light．
A greater proportion of women than men face objections or criticism from their families over their gap­year plans．Among the men surveyed, lack of money is the main barrier to travel．
Carolyn Martin, a doctor from London,is a typically confident female traveller．Starting in Cape Town, she travelled around southern Africa and Australia with a string of unusual and sometimes dangerous jobs．
“I had one job chasing elephants off the runway in Africa by banging a stick against a pan，” she recalled．“It was OK but one day I did get chased by one．”
She said that she had travelled alone because “you meet more people”．
【小題1】By referring to “gap year” the writer means ________．  

A．a(chǎn) gap you come across after leaving high school
B．a(chǎn) time when you are caught in a dilemma between work and study
C．a(chǎn) period after you find a job upon your graduation from college
D．a(chǎn) year off between high school and college for certain purposes
【小題2】In the third paragraph, the underlined word “priorities” most probably means ________
A．selectionsB．a(chǎn)ttractionsC．preferencesD．projects
【小題3】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Men students will travel less during the gap year because of their part-­time jobs．
B．Women students will travel more but face more objections．
C．The article suggests that women travelling alone will have dangerous experiences．
D．Men students prefer to travel inside their own country to going abroad．
【小題4】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．Girls Get the Best out of Gap Years
B．Boys Lack Courage in Gap Years
C．For Fun or for Adventure?
D．Young Women Are More Adventurous

One day in 1965，when I worked at View Ridge School in Seattle，a fourth?grade teacher approached me.She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge.“Could he help in the library？” she asked.I said, “Send him along.”

Soon a slight，sandy?haired boy in jeans and a T?shirt appeared.“Do you have a job for me？” he asked.

I told him about the Dewey Decimal System(杜威十進(jìn)分類法) for shelving books.He picked up the idea immediately.Then I showed him a stack(摞) of cards for long?overdue books that I was beginning to think had actually been returned but were misshelved with the wrong cards in them.He said，“Is it kind of a detective job？” I answered yes，and he became working.

He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and announced，“Time for break！”He argued for finishing the finding job；she made the case for fresh air.She won.

The next morning，he arrived early.“I want to finish these books，”he said.At the end of the day，when he asked to be a librarian on a regular basis，it was easy to say yes.He worked untiringly.

After a few weeks I found a note on my desk，inviting me to dinner at the boy’s home.At the end of a pleasant evening，his mother announced that the family would be moving to a neighbouring school district.Her son’s first concern，she said，was leaving the View Ridge library.“Who will find the lost books？” he asked.

When the time came，I said an unwilling good?bye.I missed him，but not for long.A few days later he came back and joyfully announced，“The librarian over there doesn’t let boys work in the library.My mother got me transferred back to View Ridge.My dad will drop me off on his way to work.And if he can’t，I’ll walk！”

I should have had an idea such focused determination would take that young man wherever he wanted to go.What I could not have guessed，however，was that he would become a genius of the Information Age：Bill Gates，tycoon(企業(yè)巨頭) of Microsoft and America’s richest man.

1.What was the author when the story happened?

A．A teacher.? B．A librarian.

C．A detective.? D．A student.

2.Why was the boy sent to the library by the fourth?grade teacher?

A．He failed to finish his work on time.

B．He challenged the teacher in the class.

C．He disturbed all the other students in the class.

D．He needed something to do to challenge himself.

3.What was the boy told to do on his first day in the library?

A．To rearrange the books according to the new system.

B．To put those overdue books back to the shelves.

C．To find out the books with wrong cards in them.

D．To put the cards back in the long?overdue books.

4.The boy got transferred back to View Ridge because ________.

A．he didn’t get along well with the librarian in the new school

B．he was not allowed to work in the new school’s library

C．he missed his old schoolmates and teachers

D．he had to walk a long way to go to school

閱讀理解
     The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People
with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in
order to find solutions to the problem.
     As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with
today's relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below
the poverty line.However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of
living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
     For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over
40 percent of the poor people are children.By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many
industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years
old, the normal retirement age.
     Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not
have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.
     Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school.
Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
     At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.
First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers.Some of the poor who
are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.
Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive.If the government spends
money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer.
Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.
     Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above
the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non－poor and gives money to the poor. These
payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received
welfare.
    Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present
time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.
1. The author's main purpose to write this article is________.
A. to define what the poverty line is
B. to explain why some people live the poverty line
C. to find solutions to the problem of poverty
D. to show sympathy for those poor people
2. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Ten percent of the Americans live a poor life.
B. Poor people are those who live below the poverty line.
C. The poverty line rises as the general standard of living rises.
D. The poverty line tends to be at the same level.
3. More than 40 percent of the poor people are children. This is mainly because________.
A. they do not have enough motivation
B. they are so young that they don’t have the right to work
C. they fail to get enough education
D. they are very poor in health
4. Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because________.
A. they do not have any motivation to work
B. they are not very self－confident
C. they are too young or too old to work
D. they have physical and family problems
5. We may concluded from the passage that________.
A. better solutions to the poverty problem are not yet found
B. welfare will enable them to be rich
C. poor people are sure to go out of the poverty line if they have chances to do business
D. employment is the best solution to the poverty problem
