Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don’t know them so well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they go to their friends for some ideas.

It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can talk about something, and these things are difficult to say to their family members.

After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can’t understand why her answer to the question “What do you do?” is always “Oh, I’m just a housewife.” JUST a housewife? Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and cleanup, washing and drying clothes, keeping the house clean, leading a scout troop(童子军团), playing taxi driver to us kids on the way to school, and making sure that all our family needs are met is not JUST a housewife. She’s the real Wonder Woman.

Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second-class or something similar? Where has this idea come from? Have we males made them feel this way? Has our society made “going to work” outside the home seem more important than what a housewife must face each day?

I would be very curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike. Dishes would pile up. Food in the house would run out. No meals would appear on the table. There would be no clean clothes when needed. Walking and bus riding would increase. Those scout troops would have to break up.

I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over. Oh, he might start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job, but how long would that last? Not long, once he had to come home each night after work to more household duties. There would be no more coming home to a prepared meal; he’d have to fix it himself. The kids would all be screaming for something to eat. Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, and fix lunches for the next day. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to crawl into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper.

No, I don’t think many males are going to volunteer for the job. I know I don’t want it. So, thanks, mom! I’ll do what I can to create a national holiday for housewives. It could be suitably called Wonder Woman Day.

1.        How do the children of the family go to school?

A. They take school bus.                        B. Their mother drives for them.

C. They take a taxi.                                 D. The scout troop sends them to school.

2.        If a housewife went on strike, what would NOT happen?

A. No meals would appear on the table.

B. Children would scream for something to eat.

C. The scout troops would have a wonderful time.

D. The man of the house wouldn’t be able to take over.

3.In the author’s opinion, ______.

A. many males are going to volunteer for housewives’ work

B. housewives are second-class citizens or something similar

C. the man of the house would be able to take over the housewives’ work

D. housewives deserve a national holiday named Wonder Woman Day

4.The author’s attitude toward housewives’ work is ______.

A. sympathetic     B. unconcerned     C. positive     D.appreciative

5.The passage is mainly about ______.

A. housewives, the wonder women

B. what would happen if housewives went on strike

C. the replacement of women by men as housewives

D. the setting up of a national holiday for housewives

What will the home of the future look like? A team of architects in Hong Kong say that city homes will be tiny, as populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive.

          They have designed “spaceflats” with just 30 square metres in size as the houses in the following years. These flats have several small rooms; a  living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, but everything is carefully planned to make good use of the limited space.

          The living room is the main room of the flat. It can be used as an office, a kitchen or even a second bedroom. There is a sofa that can be changed into a bed. The dining table can be changed into a computer desk. And, if not needed, both the sofa-bed and the table can be folded and put away. There is a flat-screen TV, which can also serve as a computer monitor. In one corner of the room, a small cooker, a microwave oven and a mini-refrigerator are hidden out of sight. The other rooms are small but practical. The bathroom contains a toilet and a shower. The double bed in the bedroom can also be transformed into a sofa, if required.

          “Spaceflats” are wonderful and they are now being tested in a building in Hong Kong. It is believed that “Spaceflats” will be improved to be our future homes.

1.What will be the title for the passage ?

___________________________________________________________

2. How many rooms does a “spaceflat” have ?

___________________________________________________________

3. List 2 kinds of kitchen equipment in the flat.

4.      How can we deal with the sofa-bed and table if we don’t need them ?
