a bird in the houses busy in building his house!

Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York. The reporter was talking to them about being important.“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker. The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important.” The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked. The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You‘d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.” The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”“No, I don‘t,” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘It’s for you.‘ ”小题1: There are _______ in this passage.A.two men and two womenB.three men and one womanC.three women and one manD.four women小题2: The banker thought _______.A.he was really important because he was a rich bankerB.the visitor to the White House was really importantC.the visitor who met the President of the United StatesD.the reporter was really important小题3: The owner of the very large company thought _______.A.she was really important because she owned one of the largest companiesB.the banker was really importantC.the owner of many buildings in the center of New York was really importantD.the visitor would be really important if while he was visiting the President, the President would not answer any telephone call小题4: The owner of many buildings thought _______.A.he was really important because he owned many buildings in the center of New YorkB.the owner of the very large company was really importantC.the visitor was really important if he talking to the President and the President received a telephone call for the visitorD.the person who worked in the White House was really important - 跟谁学

Snow-melting Agent
A heavy snow can kill pests and this means a good harvest next year.This will bring as well as trouble to urbanites.
On Nov.16,2003,a cold air current brought a heavy snow to Beijing.To prevent traffic jams,related government departments mobilized people to clear off snow on streets.
One of the most effective ways to clear off snow on roads is to scatter snow-melting agent on the roads.The major component of the snow-melting agent is salt.The snow-melting agent can make snow stop from freezing,make it easier to clear off the road,and allow traffic to flow smoothly.But it also brings about some hidden dangers.In the spring of 2003,over 300 000 trees in Beijing urban districts died.After analyzing soil around these trees,experts discovered that the salt content of these soils was 392 times higher than normal.Where did the excessive salt come from?After investigating,forestry experts found that when clearing snow in the winter,people usually heap snow containing snow-melting agent at trees’ roots,and that when the snow melts,this agent penetrates the soil and increases its salt content.The snow-melting agent indirectly killed the trees.
Statistics show that during a heavy snow in 2002,over 1000 tons of snow-melting agent was scatterred on streets in Beijing.Snow water containing a large amount of snow-melting agent got into the soil through sewers.
In addition,salt in the snow-melting agent can expedite the corrosion of steel bars in concrete buildings and cause the concrete to crack and peel,shortening the life of roads.
Scientists and government officials are required to solve traffic problems caused by heavy snows as soon as possible and at the same time try to reduce the negative effects of the snow-melting agent.This is a difficult problem placed before them.Related authorities have framed some local criteria to regulate the production and use of snow-melting agents.
Now,more harmless snow-melting agents are being developed.Now that even snow-melting agents that meet today’s criteria must still be used carefully,we have to rely more on our manpower and machines to clear off snow.
This year,in addition to using snow-melting agents,Beijing will use a large number of snow vehicles to clear snow on roads.In more places,citizens are mobilized to clear snow with their hands.This may be a test of a city’s civilization level.
Salt is a snow-melting agent while _________ is a cleaning agent.
A.water&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B.soap&&&& C.a washing-machine&&&& D.a housewife
The third paragraph of the text is mainly about _______.
A.the side effect of snow-melting agent
B.a case of damage to trees caused by snow-melting agent
C.the results of using snow-melting agent
D.the uses of snow-melting agent
According to the text,the most practical way to clear off snow is to _________.
A.use snow-melting agent as much as possible
B.only use more harmless snow-melting agent
C.encourage people to clear snow with their hands
D.use more snow vehicles
This text most probably appears in_________.
A.a newspaper&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B.a magazine on latest findings
C.a book on salt&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& D.a magazine on environmental protection

As nanny(保姆), cook, cleaner, shopper, driver, and gardener, she has one of the most demanding jobs in Britain today. And paying someone else to do the chores(家务活) which take the average housewife 71 hours a week would cost ?349.
&&& At over ?18,000 a year that’s more than the earnings of 70 percent of the population, including train drivers, firemen, prison officers, and social worker. Looking after a baby less than a year old takes a housewife into a even higher pay league. According to a study, she earns ?457 a week – at nearly ?24,000 a year, the same as teachers, engineers, and chemists.
&&&& Researchers put a price on each chore, then tried to find out how long the average person takes doing them. They found housewives spend an average 70.7 hours a week on housework – with looking after the children (17.9hours) and cooking and cleaning (12.9 hours each) the most time-consuming(费时).
&&&& A wife with a part-time job still works and average of 59 hours a week at home. Those in full-time employment put in longer hours at home than in the workplace. The good news is that these hours sharply decrease as children get older. While the average mother with child under one puts in 90 hours weekly, the figure drops to 80 hours from one to four and to 66 hours from five to ten.
&&&& Mother-of-four Karen Williams from London said, “Paying the housewives may not be practical, but the government should recognize the value of housework, perhaps through the tax. Running a house takes a lot of time and most husbands don’t understand this. For example, my husband only puts a shelf up now and again. He never cleans the kitchen – that’s the real test.”
Who earns most according to the text?
&& A. A social worker.&&&&B. A fireman.&& C. A gardener.&& D. A teacher.
We lean from the text that looking after children ______.
& A. takes more time than doing any other housework
B. means more duties than being a teacher
&&C. requires the mother to be well-educated
&&D. prevents the mother from working outside
According to the text, a housewife with a baby less than one year old may work _____.
&&A. 66 hours a week&&& B. 71 hours a week&& &C. 80 hours a week&&& D. 90 hours a week
By mentioning her husband, Karen Williams wants to show that ______.
&& A. housework is no easy job&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. her husband has no time to clean the kitchen
&& C. a housewife needs to be paid for cleaning&& D. the kitchen is hard to clean
