Who is going to take care of the children? Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it In these families, the husband and wife agree to different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights Then there is the question of the children In the past, many families got help with child care from grandparents Now families usually not live near their relatives The grandparents are often too far away to help in a regular way More often, parents have to pay for child care help Ihe help may be a babysitter or a day-care center The problem with this kind of help is the high cost It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for Many companies now let people with children work part-time That way, parents can spend more time with their children Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children For these men there is a new word: they are called “househusbands” In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year These changes in the home mean changes in the family Fathers can learn to understand their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage They, too, may have a better understanding of each other Question 31: Sixty years ago, most women A went out to work B had no children C did not much housework D were housewives Question 32: Nowadays, there are A more women going out to work than before B more and more women staying with the children all day C more work outside the home than before D more housewives than before Question 33: The word “laundry” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A tidying up B cooking and washing the dishes C washing and ironing D shopping Question 34: It can be inferred from paragraph that A couples with low-paid jobs can’t afford the cost of a babysitter or a day-care center B grandparents can help care the children in a regular way C all couples with jobs can pay for help from a babysitter or a day-care center D in the past, grandparents did not help the couples with child care Question 35: The word “they" in paragraph refers to _ A husbands who stop working to stay with the children B fathers who spend more time with their children C parents who work part-time D children who spend more time with fathers than mothers Question 36: The changes in the American home mentioned in this passage may A help families B not happen C cause problems for a marriage D not change the children at all Question 37: This article is about A American men as househusbands B housewives in America C how more American women are working D how family life in America is changing One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I After the war, he became a professor of Anglo -Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949 This was mainly due to Tolkien’s responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien’s real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today Question 38: What can we assume is NOT true about Middle Earth?

Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office Question 46: With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?
