How do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If you are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard way.

A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organize it. This doesn’t mean that a woman has to do all the housework:; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partner’s participation（参与）. A woman can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility（责任） for housework.

Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, and it’s important that you give your man appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little additional housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored.

Here’s the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a household task just for the good of the house.

1.The passage is mainly about how to _____.

A. get men to take on some housework

B. get men to serve their families

2.According to the passage, a man_____.

A. is willing to do housework

B. likes to be told to do housework

D. likes a clean house but doesn’t make efforts to clean it

3.In order to get men to do some housework, women should often_____.

A. order them to do their share

B. ask them to do some housework politely

C. blame men’s laziness

D. monitor men’s work

4.According to the passage, the underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that men won’t _____.

A. work without any payment

B. do unimportant household tasks

C. do housework without women’s praise

D. please their wives

5.According to the passage, which of the following would a husband most probably like to do?

A. Cleaning the table.　　 B. Doing some sewing.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Should you choose time over money, or money over time? This is one of those so-called dilemmas of happiness that isn’t really a dilemma at all, because the answer is so painfully obvious. Money, after all, is just an instrument for obtaining other things, including time-while time is all we’ve got. And to make matters worse, you can’t save it up.

And yet we do choose money over time, again and again, even when basic material well-being doesn’t demand it. Partly, no doubt, that’s because even well-off people fear future poverty. But it’s also because the time/money trade-off rarely presents itself in simple ways. Suppose you’re offered a better-paid job that requires a longer commute (more money in return for less time); but then again, that extra cash could lead to more or better time in future, in the form of nicer holidays, or a more secure retirement. Which choice prioritizes time, and which money? It’s hard to say.

Thankfully, a new study throws a little light on the matter. The researchers surveyed more than 4,000 Americans to determine whether they valued time or money more, and how happy they were. A clear majority preferred money-but those who valued time were happier. Older people, married people and parents were more likely to value time, which makes sense: older people have less time left, while those with spouses and kids probably either value time with them, or feel they steal all their time. Or both.

The crucial finding here is that it’s not having more time that makes you happier, but valuing it more. Economists continue to argue about whether money buys happiness-but few doubt that being comfortably off is more pleasant than struggling to make ends meet. This study makes a different point: it implies that even if you’re scraping by (勉强维持), and thus forced to focus on money, you’ll be happier if deep down you know it’s time that’s most important.

It also contains ironic (讽刺的) good news for those of us who feel basically secure, financially, but horribly pushed for time. If you strongly wish you had more time, as I do, who could accuse you of not valuing it? At least my eagerness for more time shows that my priorities are in order, and maybe that means I’ll enjoy any spare time I do get. We talk about scarce time like it’s a bad thing. But scarcity is what makes us treat things as precious, too.

1.The example in Paragraph 2 suggests that ______.

A.money can be made at the expense of time

B.the time/money trade-off is a complicated issue

C.money is a tool for obtaining material well-being

D.circumstances force one to choose money over time

2.We can know from the findings of the study that ______.

A.valuing time more makes people happier

B.parents regret the time spent on their kids

C.people won’t value time until they’re rich

D.a comfortable life is superior to more time

3.Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage?

A.What you should spend time on

B.What you should trade money for

C.Why you need to value money, not time

D.Why you need to count time, not money
