Pomat, a Malupit shop owner, called the meeting to find out the views of the community on local government plans to c
16、lose the Malupit Community School at the end of the present school year.Mr. Pomat acted as chairman of the meeting. He introduced Mr. L. Karazin, the Planning Office of the Raval Education Department. Mr. Karazin pointed out that there were now only fifty-three children at Malupit Community School.
17、This was considered to be too high a number for the forming of two classes and the employment of two teachers. Mrs. Luvako, who had taught at the school for the past twenty-two years, would be retiring from the teaching service in July. The Planning Office wished to take this opportunity to close th
18、e school, because it is expensive to run, and to move the children to two bigger schools in Raval, six miles away.Mrs. Jarvis, the mother of an eight-year-old boy at Malupit, asked what would happen about transport to Raval. Mr. Karazin replied that the children would travel by bus. This would be pr
19、ovided by the Raval Transport Department, and it would take Malupit children to and from school free of charge.Another parent, Mr. W. Riley, expressed the fear of many parents that closing the local school would mean that the children of Malupit wouldnt grow up with the same sense of community as in
20、 the past. They would feel lost in the much larger schools in Raval. Mr. Karazin replied that the Raval schools were not very large, and that, in any case the children would have to go to Raval later on for education at high-school level.UThe chairman voiced the view of the meeting/U when he said th
21、at there was good reason to believe that there would soon be more young children living in Malupit. It would be foolish, he said, to close the school, and then to find that there were more than enough local children to form two classes and employ two teachers.A final point was made by Mr. Colmar, a
22、retired business man, that without Malupit Community School, there would be nowhere big enough for local clubs and organizations to hold their meetings.Mr. Karazin promised that he would bring these points to the attention of the Education Department.Mr. Pomat brought the meeting to a close shortly

32、oduce the four magazines to new readersBC/BBetty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzled (困扰) old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and theyre still sit
33、ting on the sofa? Talking?What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?Betty shrugs. Talk? Were friends.Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their
34、sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable.“More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name
35、 a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, more trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机). “Most women,“ says R
36、ubin, “identified (认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.“In general,“ writes Rubin in her new book,“ womens friendships with each other rest on shared emotions an
37、d support, but mens relationships are marked by shared activities. “For the most part, Rubin says, interactions (交往) between men are emotionally controlleda good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior.“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,“ Rubin writes,“ the two share little abo
38、ut their innermost feelings. Whereas a womans closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasnt unusual to hear a man say he didnt know his friends marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.“（分数：15.00）(1)
39、.What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that _.（分数：3.00）A.he is treated as an outsider rather than a husbandB.women have so much to shareC.women show little interest in ballgamesD.he finds his wife difficult in talk to(2).Rubins study shows that for emotional support a married woma

43、d for a travelling salesman. Mr. Barlow applied for the job, and soon afterwards was invited to the companys head office to meet Mr. Snell, the sales manager. Mr. Snell asked Mr. Barlow what experience he had had as a salesman.“I worked as a salesman for a brush company until six months ago. I sold
44、brushes, dusters, tins of polish, things like that. I went from door to door selling direct to housewives.“Mr. Snell then asked him why he had left that job.“Well, to be honest, it was very hard work,“ Mr. Barlow replied. “It meant walking sometimes six or eight miles a day. But the real reason for
45、leaving was that I didnt think very highly of the goods that I was selling. They were not of the best quality, and that made it difficult for me to be sincere when I had to tell housewives what wonderful brushes they were. I knew perfectly well they wouldnt last beyond a month. Whats more, the pay w
46、as rather poor. I realized after a while that I wouldnt be able to support a family on the money I was earning.“I see,“ said Mr. Snell. “So what did you do next?“For the last six months I have been a salesman in a department store,“ said Mr. Barlow.“And do you think you could sell Warmans office mat
47、erials with clear conscience?“ Mr. Snell asked. “Do you think you could be sincere, as you put it, about selling the papers, inks, copying- machines and so on that we produce here?“Mr. Barlow said that he thought he could; that Warmans office materials enjoyed a very high reputation, and that in his
48、 department at Caldwells he sold almost nothing else. He said he had always wanted to work for a big company with a good name; to travel all over the country, selling goods to other companies, rather than to housewives on doorstep; andhe added with a smileto enjoy the money and the working conditions offered with the job for which he had applied.“Mr. Barlow,“ said Mr. Snell, “do you have a clean driving license?“Yes, I do,“ Mr. Barlow replied.“Then as long as your medical examination proves to be satis
