Family life in the United States is changing. Twenty-five years ago the housewife cleaned, cooked

and looked after the children. She was the most important person at home. The father earned the money for the family. He worked away from home, and was gone all day. He was tired when he came home in the evening, so didn’t see his children very much during the week. His work at home was usually outside in the garden. The cooking and the cleaning were for women only. These days, however, many women work outside the home. They can’t be at home with the children all day. They, too, come home tiredly in the evening. They don’t want to cook dinner nor do they have time to clean the house or wash the clothes.

Now women don’t have to do all the housework themselves. Today they often have help. One kind of help is the day care center (日托中心). Mothers leave their children at these centers in the daytime. Then they’re free to go to work. Most children enjoy these day care centers.

Some mothers have part-time jobs. That way, she can save some money and can also be with their children every day.

The most important help women get is from their husbands. Today many men do the housework with their wives. Some husbands stay at home with the children, and a new word “househusband” is used to refer to these people. In the USA, more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.

How much paper do you use every year? Maybe you can’t answer this question quickly. In 1900 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram(千克)for each person in a year. Now some countries use 50 kilograms of paper for each person in a year. But countries like America, England and Sweden(瑞典), certainly use more paper than other countries.

Paper was first made in China about 2,000 years ago. It was made from the hairline parts of certain plants. Paper was not made in southern Europe(欧洲)until about the year 1100. In 1500, a German named Schaeffer found out that one could make the best paper from trees. After that the forest countries of Canada, Sweden, America, Finland(芬兰)became the most important ones in paper making.

When we think of paper, we think of newspapers, books and writing paper. But there are many other kinds of use. Only half the paper is used for books and magazines. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Houses are often insulated(隔绝)with paper. You may see some people sleep on a large number of newspapers. They’re insulating themselves from the cold. In Finland the temperature is sometimes 40 degrees centigrade(摄氏). The farmers wear paper boots in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.

Each year more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups and plates for a long time. Now we hear that chairs, tables and even beds can be made of paper. With paper boots and shoes, you can wear paper hats, paper dresses and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you throw them away and buy new ones.

People have made paper boats, but they haven’t made paper planes or cars. Just wait——they perhaps will be used someday by each person in a year in some countries.

A. One kilogram. B. Fifteen kilograms.

C. Fifty kilograms. D. Forty kilograms.

( ) 37. ________ doesn’t use more paper than other countries.

A. they are so poor that they can buy only paper boots

B. there are no other kinds of boots there

During the last winter holiday, I went to China with my parents. The five-day trip left me with deep impression.

As the capital of China, Beijing is a very beautiful city with fresh air and clean streets which make the travelers feel very pleased. To my surprise, many people there learn English. Later I was told that they did so because Beijing will hold the 29th Olympic Games and they want most foreigners to understand them. They strictly keep the traffic rules. When there was a red light, no one was seen crossing the street.

Of all the places I visited, I liked the Summer Palace best. To our surprise, its name is the Summer Palace, and although it was winter when we were there, we still saw green trees and many fresh flowers. The whole park was very beautiful.

We visited a very modern football field. We were told the buildings where the Olympic Games would be hold were even better than it. I also enjoyed skiing in Xiangshan. Skiing is an interesting and exciting sport liked by many people.

In my eyes, China is a nice place and Chinese people are very kind. In Beijing Station, there were so many people, and most of them were going home to spend the Spring Festival, the most important Chinese festival, with their families. Passengers helped each other carry luggages, and they were very kind to foreigners. We were given a card by the hotel we stayed at, on which was the address of the hotel. With the card we never got lost in the city.

The five days passed quickly, but the trip left me a lot of sweet memories.

Nobody has ever drawn fields or flowers like Van Gogh(凡·高). His paintings are full of rich colors and sunlight. Today his paintings can be sold for millions of dollars. But he only sold one of his paintings in all his life.

Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853. He began to draw pictures when he was 27, 10 years before he died. Before becoming a painter, he was a teacher. Then he started to buy and sell other people’s pictures for money. He also did some other jobs in his life.

In 1886, he left Holland and went to Paris to join his younger brother who was working there. After living in Paris for 2 years, he moved to the warmer place, Arles, in southern France. There he painted some of his most famous pictures.

Then Van Gogh was badly ill and became mad. When he was mad he often hurt his bodies. One day, Van Gogh cut off one part of his own ear. At last he went into a hospital, but he didn’t get any better.

Finally, on Sunday, July 27, 1890, in a small village of Anvers, north of Pairs, Vincent Van Gogh took a gun, went into a field and shot himself. When his brother arrived, Van Gogh said to him,“I hope I did it right.”36 hours later, Van Gogh died in his brother’s arms.
