The position of secretary or personal assistant used to be the preserve of women, but now men are making their way in. The change is due partly to the highest rate of graduate unemployment and the growing awareness that salaries for PAs can reach £75,000 a year.

Joshua Watson, 25, has been an executive (行政的) assistant to a female senior director at Barclays for 18 months, having previously worked as a PA. He does not see himself as working in a woman’s role. “I don’t feel that I’m treated any differently just because I’m male,” he said. “I don’t think that is an issue for people from my generation. It’s a good job for me because I am fond of organizing. I have good exposure to see the top people in the company and I want to climb the ladder.”

Recruitment(招聘) consultants are seeing an ever-increasing number of men interested in PA or secretarial posts. “Out of the 1,000 candidates we’ve registered in the past 12 months, around 200 are male,” said David Morel, managing director of Tiger Recruitment. “It is increasing the whole time. Since 2011, the numbers have been doubling each year, and most of them are ambitious graduates.”

Susanna Tait, managing director of Tay Associates, agrees. She said she had seen a “huge” increase in numbers of male applicants. “It’s an obvious career choice for ambitious individuals keen to operate at the centre of the business field.”

Quest Professional, which offers training courses for companies and organizations, said this was the first year that men had attended its executive PA program and that “more and more” men were doing related course.

Top PAs in the City now earn between £35,000 and £75,000, plus benefits—in some cases even more. Morel thinks this is the primary reason why more men are coming into the market.

Barclays encourages male applicants for PA and similar roles. “We will offer everyone—regardless of their gender—the same opportunities to be successful,” said a spokesperson.

1.What’s Joshua Watson’s position at Barclays? (No more than 4 words)

2.What does the underlined phrase “climb the ladder” in Para 2 mean? (No more than 2 words)

3.What does Quest Professional do? (No more than 10 words)

4.As for male PAs, what did Barclays’ spokesperson say? (No more than 12 words)

5.What do you think of men’s new choice and why? (No more than 20 words)

The English proficiency of Chinese women is much better than that of men, according to a study released in Shanghai yesterday, Chinese women scored three points higher than men in the English Proficiency Index(英语水平指数) released by EF Education, a language training company, mainly English. Worldside, women scored one point higher than men on average.

“This shows that Chinese women are more used to the Chinese education mode, the report said. Chinese women use their gift of language to gain success.”

However, Chinese mainlanders English proficiency ranked second to last in Asia, despite the great time and effort that many people invest in learning the language, the report said, China’s mainland is ranked the 36th in the index of 54 countries and regions where English is not the native language. That’s down by seven places comparing with that last year. The Chinese mainland belongs to the low-proficiency tier(低水平层次) and is ranked just above Thailand in Asia. This year’s index has increased the weight of listening tests, while decreasing the importance of grammar and vocabulary exams, which partly caused the ranking change, researchers said. Moreover, test-oriented(以考试为目的) and rote-based(死记硬背)learning methods often used in China hurt the language skills of Chinese students, education experts said.

The study compared test scores of more than 1.7 million adults in the 54 countries and regions. Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands have the best command of English, while Libya has the lowest English proficiency level. European countries generally performed well. But Italy, Spain and Portugal, some of the countries at the heart of the euro zone crisis, are being dragged down by poor English, according to the report. Singapore is 12th, the best in Asia, followed by Malaysia and India, South Korea; at 21st, and Japan, at 22nd, performed disappointingly low despite their focus on education; the report said.

One in every four people frequently uses English at work on China’s mainland, nevertheless nearly 15 percent said they never use English, lower than the world average level, according to the study.

1.What is EF Education?

A. It is a language test organization.

B. It is an English teaching school.

C. It is a language training company.

D. It is an organization studying human.

2. By what do Chinese women gain success in English learning?

A. Cheating.　　　 B. Gift.

C. Learning by heart.　　　 D. Asking for help.

3. What can we learn from paragraph 3?

A. Chinese mainlanders’ English proficiency ranked second in the index of 54 countries and regions.

B. Chinese mainlanders’ English proficiency ranked 29th last year.

C. The Chinese mainland belongs to the mid proficiency tier.

D. This year’s index has increased the weight of grammar and vocabulary exams.

4. Which of the following order is TRUE in the ranking of the English Proficiency Index?

A. Denmark > India > Japan > Singapore > Libya

B. Denmark > Japan > Singapore > India > Libya

C. India>Japan > Denmark > Singapore > Libya

D. Denmark > Singapore > India > Japan > Libya

Chinese netizens who like to create and use cyber words such as "geilivable" might find a new regulation very "ungeilivable"． The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication last week banned the use of Chinglish words created by netizens for publishing in the Chinese language．

"Geilivable", combining the pinyin geili （giving strength） with the English suffix （后缀） for adjectives, literally means "giving power" or "cool"． Different suffixes and prefixes were then added to the word． "Hengeilivable" means "very cool", and "ungeilivable" means "dull, not cool at all"．

Cyber language is popular among Chinese netizens, who create Chinglish words to reflect phenomenon in society． One example is "antizen", which refers to college graduates who earn a meager salary and live in small rented apartments, like tiny and laborious ants．

David Tool, a professor with the Beijing International Studies University, said it's very interesting to combine Chinese with English to create new words． "English is no longer mysterious to the Chinese people． They can use the language in a flexible way according to their own experiences," Tool said．

At the announcement of the regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication, netizens expressed their concern．

"The administration is totally 'ungeilivable'," said a netizen named laoda1713． "I know other netizens will shed tears with me．．． it is a good chance to enrich our language"．

"Language is always developing," said a columnist, Wang Pei． "It needs to be updated to absorb foreign culture and folk wisdom．"

But an unnamed official with the administration said that, in fact, many senior staff from news media who supported the regulation were worried that years later, the younger generation would forget how to use formal Chinese expressions． The official also pointed out that the regulation was only for formal publications in Chinese language, and it only banned Chinglish words in the publication．

1. The new regulation by the General Administration of Press and Publication may be aimed at ________．

2. The underlined word meager in the third paragraph probably means________．

3. From this passage we can infer that ________．

4.Which may be the title of this passage?

5.On which column of China Daily can you find this passage?

How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves （or for anyone else）．Registered dietitian （营养专家） Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help．

“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients．For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake．Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice — the rest is largely colored sugar water．You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior, ”she emphasizes．

Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life—it’s the foundation of a healthful diet．Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance．

According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search．As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food．

“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat—they are like the wood in the fireplace．The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains．“We need them all, but in a very different proportions．And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless．”

1.From the passage we know that working women________．

A．think cooking is especially complicated

B．do not share the same views with registered dietitians

C．are busy and may not interested in cooking

D． are likely to eat healthfully

2.Orange juice is different from orange drink in that________．

A．it contains only a small percentage of real juice

B．it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real oranges

C．it is largely orange-colored sugar water

D．it produces nothing but calories

3.In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means________．

A．an effort with no results                       B．a search for a diet without fruits

C．a research on fruitless diet                    D．a diet serving as medicine

4.Many women take it for granted, according to passage that________．

A．a balanced diet can result in being fat

B．staying thin and healthy are both possible

C．lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin

D．vitamins are some kind of substitutions （替代品） for food
