16、ing dissatisfaction toward rich people, according to a new online poll.The poll by the China Youth Daily (26) has highlighted the apparent (27) over the countrys widening income gap.Nearly 8,000 people filled in online (28) last week, and when asked to use three words to describe the societys rich,
17、 the top (29) were “extravagant“, “greedy“ and “corrupt“.About 57 percent of those (30) said that “extravagant“ was the best word to describe the rich, followed closely by “greedy“.(31) , despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that richer people
18、should be “socially (32) .“Some 33 percent of respondents also praised rich people for being “smart“.Nearly 90 percent of respondents agreed that most people in society, including themselves, (33) speak up for the poor but were (34) to take action and actually do something for them.The survey comes
19、on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist Mao Yushi, who said a couple of days ago that he was speaking for the rich and working for the poor.A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that Chinas Gini coefficientan indicator of the wealth
20、divide-rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in 2004.An earlier Chinese Academy of Social Sciences report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more than 40 percent of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent in the country share less than 2 percent of the total wealth.The
21、countrys income gap is close to that of Latin America, the report which (35) in January said.（分数：71.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_九、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十、Section A(总题数：1，分数：35.50)Complaints should be made to a responsible person. Go back to the
22、 shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any (36) you may have. Ask to see the buyer in a large store. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain (37) . In a chain store ask to see the manager.Even the bravest person finds it difficult to complain face to face,
23、 so if you do not want to do it in (38) , write a letter. Be sure to (39) to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article. If you are not (40) with the answer y
24、ou get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organization. Be sure to keep copies of your own letters and any you receive.If your complaint is a just one, the shopkeeper may offer to (41) or repair the faulty article. You may find this an (42) solution.
25、In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for your money back, but this is only where you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once. Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money back as well. And if you have suffered some (43) loss, if for
26、 example a new washing machine tears your clothes, you might receive money to replace them. If the shopkeeper offers you a credit note to be used to buy goods in the same shops but you would rather have money, say so. If you accept a credit note remember that later you will not be able to ask for yo
27、ur money. If the shopkeeper refuses to give you money, ask for (44) from your Citizens Advice Bureau before you accept a credit note. In some cases the shopkeeper does not have to give you your money back-if, for example, he changes an article simply b dont like it or it does not fit. He does not ha

29、mberly Gervaise, a stay-at-home mother of three in Little Silver, N.J., joined Facebook five years ago and only posts every couple of months, mostly sharing photos from special events, like birthdays. She has 393 friends, and wishes some of them would tuck it in (收敛) a bit. “I get a little annoyed a
30、bout people who feel the need to post a picture of a straight-A report card-and there are many,“ she says. “I am sure that most of the time, they are just proud, but I find it annoying.“BGervaise says more and more mothers are using Facebook as a platform to boast about their lives, their kids, thei
31、r parenting techniques. And thats making it harder and harder for moms like her to log on without getting slapped in the face. Bragging about your kids is nothing new, but before Facebook, the Compare Contrast game was mostly played at the playground or the preschool parking lot. Moms would stand ar
32、ound discreetly scrutinizing kids to see who was hitting milestones faster or slower than their own children. Now its going on all day, every day, in a vast electronic sandbox.CFacebook moms are constantly bombarded with updates about their friends kids and their accomplishments. Daily, hourly even.
33、 According to Edison Researchs Moms and Media 2013 report, 57% of moms on Facebook are over 35-these women are the first generation to have raised their children entirely in the Facebook era. They started out single, gossiping and posting party photos and flirting, and now theyre changing diapers, w
34、orrying about peanut allergies and diligently navigating the sometimes treacherous mommy waters. And if theyre active on Facebook, theyre learning in front of a huge, rapt audience.DMothers are heavy Facebook users. Edisons 2013 research reveals that 7 out of 10 moms have a profile, and there are mo
35、re than 1,000 mommy groups, public and private. These groups range in size from hundreds of members to tens of thousands, and they are discussing everything from potty training to gaming that privateschool admissions test.EOf all the members on Facebook, moms check in the most (an average of 5.1 tim
36、es a day, according to Edison), and they keep coming back, even if they are being battered with subtle-and sometimes not so subtle-itMy kids smarter/healthier/happier than yours“ remarks. For the mom who barely gets her kids shoes on before hustling them off to school, posts that portray the perfect
37、 family can stir up guilt or even self-loathing(自我厌恶). “Who has time to draw pictures with children? Who has time to clean up the giant mess?“ says Meredith DePersia, a working mother of two in San Francisco. “When I see these posts, I definitely feel like a lazy person.“FThe great time-killer is no
38、w a massive ego-killer, and even a mommy-blogger with a huge following feels vulnerable. “Facebook makes me feel bad,“ says Glennon Doyle Melton, who had a New York Times bestseller with Carry On, Warrior. “No matter how satisfied I am with my life, career, family, social life, house, etc., as soon
39、as I log on to Facebook and peek into others lives, I immediately feel that unease caused by comparison.GThis is turning many moms off. “One thing that drove me crazy when my son was younger was moms posting about how well their baby slept,“ a mom from Texas recalls. “Our son was a pretty poor sleep
40、er, and we spent so much of that first year utterly exhausted. So to be honest, when I would see a post gloating, X slept for six hours straight last night! I would immediately hide that person for a while because it would irritate me.“ An online media professional and mom of one from Falls Church,
41、Va., is so tired of playing the game. “I kind of avoid Facebook entirely,“ she says, “because Im sick of everyones presentation of perfection.“HThere is nothing in the Facebook rules that requires complete honesty and total disclosure, and it is human nature to portray the best version of ones life.
42、 From carefully presenting our vacation pictures to sharing perfectly posed first-day-of-school photos, all of us, not just moms, try to portray a problem-free; fun-filled, blissful life. And that can be pretty annoying if youve just spent the morning watching your 4-year-old repaint your kitchen wa
43、lls with oatmeal(麦片粥).I“An acquaintance posted a drawing her daughter had made, and it was so perfect. Way more than my son could do, even though he is the same age,“ says a teacher and mother from Texas. “I panicked for a minute, but talked myself down. If someone is posting positive, cheerful, per
44、fect things all the time, I always think: Nope. Not buying it. No ones life is that perfect.“JPart of the problem is that this isnt happening in real time, face to face. That means moms who might not mean to offend are missing the social cues that normally put a damper on excessive crowing. “Social
45、networks like Facebook havent changed the way people respond to bragging; theyve changed how much people brag, “ says Dr. Pamela Rutledge, director of the Media Psychology Research Center. “The ability to publicize so much has blurred the line between sharing and boasting. When you brag in a group,
46、you notice when they wander away. When you brag on Facebook, its harder to tell who youre alienating.“KDr. Saedi, author of the blog Millennial Media, thinks its important to keep it all in perspective. “Remember that, like TV, not everything you see on Facebook is true. No ones life is perfect. And
47、 the more that people try to prove how great it is, the more its often a sign that its not. Its important for moms on Facebook to take a step back, get some distance and reassess.“LMany feeling-smothered mothers dont want to “step back“; they want to escape, to be free. “I deleted my Facebook account!“ crows a stay-at-home mom of two in Austin, Texas. “I hated the Keeping up with the Joneses behavior that Facebook engenders.“ Not everyone is ready-or able-to completely cut the Facebook umbiticat cord(脐带). One mom decided she just needed to take control of her p
