14、nt have attended college, compared with twenty per cent of those who do not have jobs.Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and eight per cent took a vacation away from home during the past year. Much of their traveling was by air.These figures come from a report which was wri

15、tten for advertisers, the report shows a new picture of women today. For instance, it tells advertisers that fifty-one per cent of all American women have traveled by air-along with fifty-nine percent of all American men.The lesson for American business is that many women now have other interests be

16、sides their homes. They like advertisements which show women in office, planes, and cars.26. After reading the short article we know that_.

But these pets carry plenty of germs and allergens(过敏原), prompting researchers to ask: Are cats and

20、dogs really safe for children?A study finds that, contrary to many parents fears, owning cats or dogs does not increase a childs risk of developing allergies, and in fact, may actually protect them. The studys lead author, Dr. Dennis Ownby of the Medical College of Georgia, said that even he was “ve

21、ry surprised” by the results. Ownby and colleagues followed more than 470 children from birth to age 6 or 7, comparing those exposed to cats and dogs during their first years of life to those who were not.By using skin-prick tests for detecting common allergies, the researchers found that, contrary

22、to what many doctors had been taught for years, children who had lived with a pet were not at greater risk.Even more remarkable, children who had two or more dogs or cats had an even greater reduction, up to 77 percent, in risk of allergies. Researchers suggest this protective effect may be the resu

23、lt of early exposure to lots of bacteria that are carried by dogs and cats. Exposing young children to these bacteria helps “exercise” their immune（免疫的） systems early in life so that theyre better able to resist allergic diseases later.“Theres something very important in the first years of life when

24、 the immune system is developing that we can retrain it away from an allergic response,” said Dr. William Davis.And while researchers are not encouraging parents to buy dogs or cats just to reduce a childs allergy risk, they say if a family already has one or more animals, theres no need to get rid

25、of them.31. Why do the researchers feel “very surprised” by the results of the study?A. Because the results are contrary to what they have expected.B. Because so many families are going to get rid of their cats and dogs.C. Because parents are so much worried about their children.D. Because children

It can be inferred f

27、rom the passage that _.A. pets are ill-treated by their ownersB. fewer families would like to own cats and dogsC. keeping pets is a good way to keep children healthyD. the results of the study can make families with pets feel at ease34.

29、o be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunat

30、ely, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come arou

31、nd the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again the next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, howeve

32、r, I found a long line of people at the office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi and it was e

33、xpensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the ti

If a long reading assignment is given，instructors expect students to be familiar with the informatio

37、n in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. （Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.）The ideal student is considered to be one who is encouraged to learn for the purpose of learning，not the one interested only in getting high grades. Some stud

38、ents may be frustrated with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with short written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given，students should learn the material assigned.When research is assigned，the professor expects

39、students to begin and to complete the assignment with minimum instruction. It is the students responsibility to find books and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works; they expect students, especially graduate students（研究生），to be able to fin

40、d what they need in the library.Professors will help students who need it，but prefer that their students not depend on them too much. This is different from teacher-student relationships in other countries. In the United States，professors have other duties in addition to teaching. Often they do some

41、 administrative（行政的）work within their departments. In addition，they may be required to write articles and books. Therefore，the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is 1imited. If a student has problems with classroom work，the student should either ask a professor for help
