【正文】 he perfect mother as well as a wageearner — support works are more important than ever. It es as a separate report examining childcare in the leading industrialized nations found that working mothers in Britain spend just 81 minutes a day caring for their children as a ‘primary activity’. Mothers who stay at home, on the other hand, manage twice as much time – more than two and a half hours – looking after their offspring, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Critics say the pressure on women to work long hours, and leave their offspring in the hands of nurseries or childminders, is putting the wellbeing of their children at risk. The study also reveals that, despite the fact that more and more modern mothers go out to work, the burden of childcare still falls on them even if their husband is not in work. A father who is not in work tends to spend just 63 minutes a day looking after his child 18 minutes less than a mother who goes out to work. Working fathers spare less than three quarters of an hour with their children. 70. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The good old days of mothers in the 1970s and 1980s. B.

The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. It was inplete and 35 could roll only very slowly. While rolling, it 36 the flowers along the way, chatted with worms and enjoyed the 37 . One day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so 38 ! Now it could be 39 with nothing missing. It fixed the missing piece in itself and began to roll. 40 it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to 41 the flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how 42 the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, 43 its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away. The 44 of the story, I think, is that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are 45 something. The man who has everything is 46 a poor man. He will never know 47 it feels like to desire, to hope, to nourish（滋養(yǎng)） his soul with the dream of something 48 . If we are brave enough to let go of our unrealistic dreams, 49 enough to go through a tragedy and survive, generous enough to 50 another’s happiness, and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve our dreams that 51 living creature will ever know. When we accept that 52 is part of human being, and when we can continue rolling 53 life and appreciate it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only 54 to. That, I believe, is what God asks of us— not Be perfect, not Don39。 bought B. anything。 the B. a。 11. What is the man’s main goal? A. To make celebrations less stressful. B.
