Sharing Silence
Deaf teenagers Orlando Chavez and German Resendiz have been friends since kindergarten(幼儿园)． Together the two boys，who go to Escondido High School in California，have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak and hear．
Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one．German was born deaf，and his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language．He met Orlando on their first day of kindergarten．
“We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids，”German remembers．“Before then，I didn’t know I was deaf and that I was different．”
“Being young and deaf in regular classes was very hard，”signs Orlando．“The other kids didn't understand us and we didn't understand them．But we”ve all grown up together，and today，I'm popular be cause I'm deaf．Kids try hard to communicate with me．”
Some things are very difficult for the two boys．“We can't talk on the phone，so if we need help，we can't call an emergency service，”German signs．“And we can't order food in a drive-thru．”
Despite their difficulties，the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket． They got their jobs through a“workability”program，designed for teenagers from local schools with different types of learning disabilities．
German has worked in the supermarket since August，and Orlando started in November．
“The other people who work here have been very nice to us，”Orlando signs．“They even sign some times．At first，we were nervous，but we've learned a lot and we’re getting better．”
The opportunity to earn money has been exciting，both boys said．After high school，they hope to attend the National Technical Institute for the Deaf in New York．
0rlando and German have been______．
A．to Mexico together．
B．deaf since they were born．
C．to different high schools．
D．friends since they were very young．
All mothers deserve our support--those who care for children at home and those who have joined the work force. But many working mothers continue to believe that they are shortchanging (少找钱)their children. They shouldn't. Research tells us that kids do just fine when mothers work.
Suzanne Bianchi a scientist of the University of Maryland, has found that mothers today spend as much if not more time with their children than they did in 1965, even though the percentage of mothers who work rose from 35 percent to 71 percent. Then there are the obvious financial benefits. For many children, these earnings are the difference between living in poverty—or out of it.
The kids are all right. Studies conducted by the University of Michigan have consistently demonstrated that a child's social or academic competence does not depend on whether a mother is employed. In my research four out of five children (nine out of ten in single parent families) told me that having a working mother was their preferred arrangement. My study found that children with working mothers are no more likely to drop out, take drugs, break the law, or experiment with sex prematurely than children with non-employed mothers. Children have taken their mothers' example to heart. Ninety percent of the young women I interviewed said they hoped to combine work with motherhood, while two-thirds of the men said they wanted to share parenting and work.
Sadly, children support working mothers more than we do as a society. Parental leave and child-care benefits in the United States remain inadequate, particularly when compared to what's offered in other countries. Children thrive when their mothers have satisfying, well-paid jobs when they can count on other caretakers to share the load. The challenge facing us is thus not whether good workers can also be good mothers, but whether we can create the conditions that enable working mothers and fathers to be good parents.
From the first paragraph, we can see that ______.
A．now more American mothers are working than any time in American history and anywhere else in the world
B．more than half Americans think that before going to school, children need their mothers' whole-hearted care
C．a majority of Americans believe that once working outside home mothers think of their own work more than their children
D．more American mothers work than ever before, but this problem of working mothers has not been solved satisfactorily

NOT JUST A SHOP!
In his yearly report, the Chairman of a chain of retail outlets writes about the financial aspects of the business and describes the work which the company has done to benefit people in the areas where their shops are located
It continues to be an important part of our company policy to be responsible for the health and welfare of people in the areas which we serve. In the past year, we have concentrated especially on education and training, and have invested over ￡4,000,000 in this and other areas ranging from the care of the old to the arts.
Let us look at these first. We have, as always, financed health research and care projects helping not only the old but children and the disabled too. We were especially pleased this year to provide alarms for disabled people who live alone and to run programmes which help children understand better the problems facing disabled people.
The Groundwork Foundation encourages young people in poor areas to improve their environment, while the Schools Prom concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London includes 20,000 children nationwide. Both of these were given financial help.
As mentioned above, in the last year we have been active in supporting a range of education projects. Two of our managers are now out of the company on 1-year projects, training young people for work in the retail industry and improving the quality of the teaching they receive. In addition, we have started a programme of 3-month schemes which our managerial staff are able to benefit from without having to take a long break from their jobs.
Schools and universities have also benefited. A London Business School received ￡50,000 to develop a training programme for UK school staff, giving them the skills necessary to manage their own schools. A major University has received a promise of ￡100,000 over 5 years to fund a new teaching post in international retailing. This will allow 22 more students to study this subject each year.
It is not only the company that supports good work for other people. Members of staff themselves are encouraged to join the company Give as You Earn system, to give money to others, especially those organisations working for the benefit of the local area. In such cases the company often gives its support by making an additional contribution.
We look forward to committing even more money to these and other projects in the coming year.
In the past year ￡4,000,000 was spent on
A．looking after old people.
B．all the company projects.
C．education and training.

Psychologists now believe that noise has a considerable effect on people's attitudes and behavior. Experiments have proved that in noisy situations(even temporary ones), people would have more anger and less cooperation; In more permanent noisy situations, many people cannot work hard, and they suffer from severe anxiety as well as other psychological problems. Some researchers, who study various aspects of effect of noise in people's mental life, maintain that noise, either temporary noise or permanent noise, often destroy creativity and activity by disturbing people's emotion and make them more easily annoyed and hard to cooperate.
However, psychologists distinguish between "sound" and "noise". "Sound" is measured physically in decibels(分贝). "Noise" cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and its level of "intensity" depends on the situation. Thus, for passengers at an airport who expect to hear airplanes taking off and landing, there may be a lot of sound, but not much noise(that is, they are not bothered by the noise). By contrast, if you are at a concert and two people behind you are whispering, you feel they are talking noisily even if there is not much sound. You notice the noise because it affects you psychologically.
Both sound and noise can have negative effects, but what is most important is if the person has control over the sound. People walking down the street with earphones, listening to music that they enjoy, are receiving a lot of decibels of sound, but they are probably happy hearing sounds which they control. On the other hand, people in the street without earphones must tolerate a lot of noise which they have no control over. It is noise pollution that we need to control in order to help people live more happily.

This important change in women's life pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first chance, and most of them took a full time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen. Many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to fuller part-time job. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the house, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.
