3.April 27is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain.Started at first in the United States and brought to Britain in 1994,Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11and 15.On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places.The purpose of this day is to broaden girls'horizons and raise their self-confidence.
For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society.But actually,"girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys,whether it is a pilot,a nurse or a chief executive,"says the chairman of Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust,an organization which supported the activity of the Day."Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work."
Schools and many companies support the activity too.Palmers Green High School for Girls,in north London,has made the Day a necessary part of career education.
Zarina Bart,15,from Palmers Green,went with her mother to her lawyer's office on this year's Take Our Daughters to Work Day.She found it interesting to see her mother at work."It's really strange seeing Mum at work-running around,getting serious and telling people what to do."She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother's footsteps.Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.
Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life.Parents have the most important effect on the confidence of teenage girls.If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them,this will give a lot of help to girls.Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.

分析 本文是一篇記敘文.在英國,4月27日是"帶女兒上班日".它起源于美國,在1994年傳入英國.在那天,女兒們都要請假一天跟著父親或母親去他們上班的地方.目的就是為了開闊她們的視野并增強她們的自信心.然后,文章以舉例的方式講述了各組織機構(gòu)、學校、公司和專家對這個節(jié)日的支持.

解答 26.B   歸納概括題.文章首先就寫了Take Our Daughters to Work Day的起源和目的,然后講述各個團體對它的支持,故選B.
27.D  推理判斷題.根據(jù)For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society可知,多年以來,人們認為男孩在社會當中能夠做的更好,所以他們工作的選擇性就更廣,故選D.
28.B  細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)Schools and many companies support the activity too.Palmers Green High School for Girls,in north London,has made the Day a necessary part of career education.可知,Palmers Green是支持這個節(jié)日的,選項B正確.
29.C   推理判斷題.根據(jù)She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother's footsteps.Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence可知,Zarina更自信了,對她未來的工作有了計劃,故選C.
30.A  細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction可知,作者對Take Our Daughters to Work Day是支持,贊成的,故選A.

點評 閱讀理解題也可選擇排除法得出正確答案,逐步排除錯誤選項.例28.:根據(jù)Started at first in the United States可知,"帶女兒上班日起源于美國,排除選項A";根據(jù)On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places.可知,是女兒被帶到父母上班的地方去,不是孩子,排除選項C;根據(jù)If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them,this will give a lot of help to girls.可知,父母為子女在生活和工作上都做好榜樣是一種推測,排除選項D,故選B.

8.I still clearly remember that day.I was on the side of the road for about four hours with my big jeep.I put signs in the windows that said,"Need a jack (千斤頂)."
As I was about to give up,a truck stopped and a man got off.He looked at the situation,made a judgment and went back to take a jack.After about two hours,we finished the job with sweats.We were both dirty.His wife took a large bottle of water for us to wash our hands.
I tried to put  20 in the man's hand,but he wouldn't take it,so I went to give it to his wife as quietly as I could.I asked their little girl where they lived,thinking maybe Pd send them a gift.She said they lived in Mexico.They were in Oregon now,so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks.After that,they were going to pick peaches and then go back home.
After I said goodbye and started going back to my jeep,the girl ran to me and handed me a tamale (玉米蹤子)for lunch.I thanked them again and walked back to my jeep.When I opened the tamale,what did I find inside?My 20!I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window.He started shaking his head,smiled,and with what looked like great concentration said in English,"Today you,tomorrow me."Then he drove away,with his daughter waving to me from the back.
This family,working on a seasonal basis where time is money,took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.
