29、about a Very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.“I just cant leave you here,“ she said. “This isnt the nicest place. Ill give you a
30、 ride home.“Youll drive me home on the bus?“ I asked, perplexed(困惑的).“No, Ill take you in my car,“ she said.“Its a long way,“ I protested(抗议，反对).“Come on,“ she said. “I have nothing else to do.“As we drove from the station in her ear, she began telling me a story.

36、s, a sleep specialist in U.S.A. “Theres even a prohibition (禁止) against admitting we need sleep. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work.“Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,“ says Dr.
37、William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research. At present, experts and researchers are becoming more and more concerned about the dangers of sleepiness (睡眠不足): people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in
38、the White House. According to recent reports, president Bush is trying to take a half-hour nap every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. Actually, sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed (神清气爽的). Clearl

42、ld age. First of all, they have less moneyor no money at alland because of this, they often feel they get less respect, even at home. Quite a large number have no pension (退休金) because they have never worked outside the home, and thirty-eight percent are supported mainly by their husbands or childre
43、n. Second, a larger number of old women than old men become widows (single women). Men are normally older than the women they marry, and women generally live longer than men. The remarriage among older widows is lower than that among widowers (single men). Statistics (统计) from 1990 in Shanghai show
44、only 52 percent of elderly women with husbands still living, compared to (与相比) 82 percent of men.Because of lower incomes and the difficulty of remarriage, many elderly women who live alone, are poor and have almost no social life.

48、 their familiesC. all people should do something for elderly womenD. housework should not be done by elderly women（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.DWe find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are m
49、any disadvantages in streaming(把 能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and not so bright child.
