During the week days,  they are luckily busy office people; but on weekends, they are just a brood of（一窝）stay-home animals. A recent survey shows that office workers in China prefer quiet and easy ways to spend their weekends.

In the survey, conducted by job seeking and offering website Zhaopin.com, 32.8 percent of the 6,000 respondents choose to stay home at weekends and have a good rest, the Beijing Morning Post reported.

Twenty percent use their days-off to do housework. And only 19.3 percent are willing to have fun during the break time from work. Their first choice of fun is shopping.

Other choices, though practiced by few, include meeting friends, accompanying the children, trips to the suburbs, and lessons for more skills.

When they. go shopping, 54.5 percent of the white-collars actually shop in supermarkets, while 27.9. percent attend other stores, especially when discounts are offered.

These activities don't seem to cost much, as 60 percent spend average less than 200 yuan (US$26) during weekends, and 30 percent no more than 500 yuan.

When asked whom they would spend the weekends with, about 40 percent mention their partners, and 30 percent prefer a weekend all by themselves. Less than 20 percent hang out with friends.

Only 5.8 percent would kill the time with their colleagues. This is because we tend to avoid too many personal contacts with our co-workers when we don't have to work with them, according to some experts.

1. How many of the office workers who are the respondents do the housework at weekends?

2.Why will less than ten percent of office workers kill the time with their colleagues at weekends?

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the survey?

4. What is the best title of the passage?

Happiness is associated with smiling. But do we always smile when we are happy?

During the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992, Spanish researchers analyzed the facial expressions of 22 gold medal winners at the medal ceremonies. The researchers were surprised to see that these medal winners didn't smile very much. In fact, throughout the different medal ceremonies, they only smiled about 10% of the time. But during the brief moment when the gold medal was put around their neck, the medal winners grinned (露齿笑) about 70% of the time.

The researchers interviewed the winners they had watched to find out how they felt. All the winners interviewed said that they felt intensely(强烈的）happy throughout the ceremony.

Though they were profoundly（衷心地）happy, they didn't smile a great deal. The researchers concluded that smiling was not the automatic expression of happiness. The fact that the gold medal winners smiled much more when they were actually being given their medals could be explained because, according to the Spanish researchers, smiling was a form of communication between individuals. The happy athletes were smiling at the people who were giving them gold medals. Perhaps we can support the findings of the Spanish researchers by making some observations of our own behaviors. When we are all alone, for example, do we smile at ourselves when we are happy? Probably not very often. If someone greets us with a friendly smile, do we respond with a smile? Yes, we probably do. When a friend gives us a beautiful present, will we show our appreciation with a smile? Yes, of course. But if we are sitting alone watching television, do we smile at a commentator (讲解员) who smiles at us?

How much of the time did the gold medal winners smile during the medal ceremonies?

A. 10%.   B. 70%.   C. 22%.   D. 92%.

【小题２】According to the passage, when did the athletes smile quite a lot?

A. Throughout the medal ceremony.

B. When they were informed of their success.

C. When the gold medal was put around their neck.

D. When their national flag was raised.

【小题３】 According to the passage, on which of the following occasions would we most probably NOT smile?

A. When we are sitting alone watching TV.

B. When someone greets us with a friendly smile.

C. When a friend gives us a beautiful present.

D. When we feel intensely happy.

【小题４】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The gold medal winners were too nervous that they would hardly smile at the medal ceremonies.

B. People will always smile automatically when they feel happy.

C. Smiling is a way of communication.

D. When the gold medal was put around their neck, the gold medal winners were smiling at the audience but not at those who gave the medal.

The Worst Part

Mom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house. I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.

I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn’t stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad’s number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial I first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didn’t,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him.

“Take it easy, kid,” he said. “I just didn’t get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isn’t over yet.”

I thought about that.

“Something on your mind?” he asked.

“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited.” Then I was sorry I said it.

“There was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.”

I know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun. I felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “How is Bandit?” I asked.

There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.

“Well, kid—”, he began. “My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled. “I’m not just some kid you met on the street!”

“Keep your shirt on, Leigh,” he said. “When I had to stop along with some other truckers to put on chains, I left Bandit out of the cab, I thought he would get back … I have sent out a call to CB radio, but I didn’t get an answer yet.” I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part. I heard a boy’s voice say, “Hey, Bill, Mom wants to know when we’re going out to get the pizza?”

1.From the story we know that _______.

A. Leigh’s dad never had a rest on Sundays          B. Leigh was a deserted boy

C. Leigh’s dad lived in another city                D. Leigh’s mother often went to golf games

2.What happened to Bandit?

A. It was frozen to death.        B. It was let out of the cab and got lost

C. It was killed by a truck.        D. It ran off Highway 80 and into the mountain.

3.The underlined sentence “Keep your shirt on” probably means “_______”.

A. Listen to reason    B. Stop talking      C. Calm down    D. Keep warm

4.In Leigh’s eye, “the worst part” may be that ________.

A. his dad got remarried          B. his parents got divorced

C. his dad didn’t love him         D. his mom didn’t take him to pizza
