Dear Doctor,

My husband and I got married in 1990 and for the first ten years of our marriage, I was very happy to stay home and bring up our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.

My husband agreed and helped me to make my decision. He said he thought I could be a great success in business. After several weeks of job hunting, I found my present job—working for a small public company. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company.”

But as his joke was becoming true, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions (升职) and pay increases, and I can earn more money than he can. I can buy my own clothes and new car.

But things begin to change. My husband is not happy. My husband is very unkind to me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think our marriage may come to an end. I love my husband very much, and I don’t want him to feel bad, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Can’t you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?

Please help me.

To whom it may concern,

My husband Jim and I got married in 1965. For the first ten years of our marriage, I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then about four years ago, our youngest child went to school, and I thought I might go back to work.

Jim was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He started to do all the things I used to do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.

After several weeks of job hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relation firm. At first, my husband was proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”

But, as his joking words were becoming reality, Jim stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, Jim can do things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don’t do these things because he is unhappy.

We fought about little things, and Jim is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.

I love Jim very much, and I don’t want him to feel inferior(较差的), but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?

My aunt Edith was a widow of 50，working as a secretary，when doctors discovered she had got what was then thought to be a very serious heart illness.

Aunt Edith didn’t accept defeat easily. She began studying medical reports in library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart doctor，Dr.Michael Debakey，of Houston，Texas.

There wasn’t a word of self-pity-only warmth and humor and the joy of living. She mailed the letter，not really expecting an answer.

A few days later，my doorbell rang. Aunt Edith didn’t wait to come in；she stood in the hall and read aloud:

Your beautiful letter moved me very deeply. If you can come to Houston，there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation.

Signed：Michael Debakey

That was seven years ago. Since then，Aunt Edith has been around the world. Her three children are happily married. For her age，she is one of the youngest，most alive people I know.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Our neighbour’s son was getting married at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were invited. We immediately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and that would be all right for me.

June 29 came and, of course, I hadn’t lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two. But I thought a nice new girdle (紧身衣）would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a size large party girdle. The clerk found the box with the describe girdle marked “LG", and asked if I would like to try it on. “Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I needn’t try it on.”

The next morning was rather hot, one of those thirty-four-degree days, I suppose, so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I popped open the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potato into a five-pound bag? That’s it. Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the pink dress, which didn't go very well with my red face, and was ready to go.

Finally we got to the church. I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass., turned to my husband and asked, “What is a High Mass?*' he shrugged his shoulders .

Unfortunately, I learned that this particular mass would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神甫)was going to bless everything except my girdle.

1.Why didn't the writer buy a loose dress?

A. Because she was too thin.

B. Because it was too hot then.

C. Because she thought she could become a little thin within a month.

D. Because a tight one was a little cheaper.

2.What does the writer want to express by saying “Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potato into a five-pound bag”？

A. How difficult it was to shake 20 pounds of potato into a five-pound bag

B. The difficulty I had in patting on the tight dress.

C. How foolish I was to put on such tight dress.

D. How foolish I was to put so many potatoes in such a bag.

3.Which word can be best described the author?

A. optimistic (乐观的）　　 B. beautiful

C. ugly　　 D. careless
