The Top 4 Lies Girls Hear
(1) "You'll never be good at math."
It's generally accepted that boys are good at math while girls aren't. The fact is that it isn't true-at least, it doesn't have to be. When girls reach their teens, most of them lose their interest in math. They're trying to be regarded as female. They want to stay away from things that are boy things, and math is still considered a boy thing. Math class is hard, but if you gave it a chance you could be great at math, especially because you are a girl.
(2) "Being skinny is good, and how you diet is your business."
Lots of web sites tell visitors that losing interest in eating is a beautiful thing. These "skinny is better" sites are lying. Losing interest in eating is a disease, not a fashion statement. It can kill you.
(3) "You don't deserve to make as much money as a guy."
It's said that in 2002 women who work full-time earn about 23 percent less than guys earn. Once you see real women succeeding in cool jobs, you'll truly get that you're worth just as much as-or more than any guys.
(4) "Caffeine will help you study better."
Caffeinated soft drinks have long been advertised as must-haves when you have to work very hard. But if you want to do your body a big favor, you'd better give up caffeine altogether.
【1】Why do girls lose their interest in math?
A.Because they don't realize the importance of math.
B.Because math class is too hard for girls.
C.Because girls are not as clever as boys.
D.Because they aren't interested in the things which are considered boy things.
【2】The word "skinny" means ______ .
A.pretty B.strong C.thin D.tall
【3】Supposing in 2002 a man earns 20,000, how much will a woman who doing the same job probably get? ______ .
A.10, 000 B.15, 000 C.20, 000 D.25, 000
【4】Which of the statement is NOT true?
A.Girls sometimes can do better than boys in math. B.Caffeine can make people feel more excited.
C.Girls can earn as much money as boys do. D.Being skinny is good for girls' health.

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.
