Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.

Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as £172,000 a year.

The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income £30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.

By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days, mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.

To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at £48,98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”, with psychologist(心理学家) a close second.

It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 per cent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.

Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.

The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing(投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.

25. How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?

A. £30,000. B. £142,000. C. £172,000. C. £202,000.

26. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .

A. emotional demand B. low pay for work

C. heavy workload D. lack of training

27. What is stressed in the last paragraph?

A. mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.

B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.

C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.

D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.

28. What can we conclude from the study?

A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.

B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.

C. Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realized.

D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.

C

It was such an extremely freezing day that I decided to get a cup of hot drinking first after work. As my colleague, Ricky, and I were making our way to a coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. Obviously he was frozen, seemingly one of the homeless or someone like that.

We joined the line and waited to be served. Ricky handed the server a twenty-dollar bill, ordered three cups of hot coffee, and gestured the sever to give one to the old gentleman outside on the bench as a favour. The server looked at Ricky, a little perplexed, without full comprehension of the request. Afterwards, there was a wonderful exchange between the server and the old man in need of some attention. I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on the both faces.

As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered to myself why Ricky didn’t perform this act of kindness himself. I suspect that deep down in his heart he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for this old man as well. Absolutely beautiful!

There are many ways of thinking when we met someone as the old man in need of kindness and attention. Perhaps he needs a little helping hand and thanks God for my colleague who inspired the others to goodness as well. Oh, by the way, the last words Ricky told the server was,

“There go I, but for the Grace of God.”

29. What was the author’s impression of the old gentleman?

A. He was a greedy man. B. He took on a sign of poor manners.

C. He was in poor health. D. He needed some kind of human care.

30. The underlined word “perplexed” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”.

A. annoyed B. confused C. embarrassed D. determined

31. Why didn’t Ricky give the favour to the old gentleman himself?

A. He didn’t know the old gentleman. B. He was too shy to speak to strangers.

C. He tried to influence others to be kind. D. He feared the old man would refuse his help.

32. What the author really thinks absolutely beautiful is that .

A. an act of kindness could go widespread

B. a cup of coffee could warm the old man

C. the server was very kind to customers

D. Ricky had created a good impression

D

Five years after they disappeared, lost jewels belonging to the wife of a US ambassador to the Netherlands were found.

Dawn Arnall had already received an insurance payout for her loss. However, the misplaced gems had been found and held for safe keeping by a hotel she stayed in. staff were unaware that the jewels were worth $ 9m.

The world is full of forgetful people. A man in the English town of Reading even left a sausage casserole in a bus. The dish ended up in the Lost Property Office until it was recovered by his mother, eager for her dinner.

A walker in the Lake District had his food in his mouth but … what about his teeth? After climbing a hill in 2007, David Packer stopped for a chocolate bar. He took his false teeth out, wrapped them up in a tissue and just forgot about them. It took more than a year for the walker to be reunited with them.

Over the past 78 years passengers on London’s transport network have left behind items including human skulls and gas masks from World War II. Since 1934, staff have handled an average of 200 000 items a year. Recently they have used computers to try to track down their owners.

But if you find something and can’t locate the rightful owner, is it finders keepers? It depends on what’s found and how, says John Spencer, professor of law at the University of Cambridge.

“If you pick up a coin, you can keep it unless you saw someone drop it, as you wouldn’t be able to find the owner by taking reasonable steps.”

If it’s a larger sum, you should report it to the police but if the item has been abandoned, the property is yours. One man’s loss is another man’s gain!

33. Dawn Arnall is mentioned in the first two paragraphs to .

A. attract readers’ attention to the jewellery B. introduce the topic

C. make a summary D. get people think

34. Judging from the examples given in the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs, people can be .

A. generous B. experienced C. forgettable D. honest

35. What does the underlined part in the sixth paragraph mean?

A. It depends on the law whether to keep something you find.

B. One man’s loss is another man’s loss too.

C. It’s immoral to keep something that doesn’t belong to you.

D. Whoever finds something can keep it.

Four Ways to Beat Summer Weight Gain

When we think of summer, most of us think of outdoor fun. So it seems like we should naturally lose weight over the summer. In reality, summer isn’t all beach volleyball and water sports. Therefore, we can gain weight easily in the summer. 36 Here are four ways to beat summer weight gain.

1. 37 When we don’t have a plan, it’s easy to spend summer moving from the couch to the computer, with regular stops at the fridge. Avoid this by aiming for a specific goal, like volunteering or mastering a new skill. Just be sure to plan for some downtime so you can relax a little!

2. Stay busy. When we’re bored, it’s easy to fall into a trap of doing nothing and then feeling low on energy. In addition to helping you avoid the cookie jar, getting loads of stuff to do can give you a sense of accomplishment. 38 .

3. Beat the heat. Don’t let summer heat put your exercise plans on hold. 39 if a gym isn’t your scene, try howling or an indoor climbing wall. If you love being outdoors, try swimming or a regular run in the early morning or evening.

4. 40 with school out, we lose our daily routines. If you don’t have a specific job or an activity to get up for, it’s easy to sleep late, watch too much TV, and snack more than usual. Make sure your summer days have some structure – like getting up at the same time each day. Plan activities for specific times, like exercising before breakfast.

A. Stick to a schedule.

B. Get going with goals.

C. Relax by walking outside.

D. Move your workout indoors.

E. We usually stay at home in summer.

F. That’s especially true if a dream summer job falls through.

G. However, it’s easy to avoid this problem if we know what to look out for.

27. 【考点】细节理解题。

28. 【考点】推理判断题。

【答案】C 【解析】全文用了很多的数字来论述做母亲的重要性。比如如果将母亲所做的量化成工薪，她一年所赚的甚至超过首相的年薪。这一切无不表明母亲工作的重要性远比人们所能意识到的要高得多。
