It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man．Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910．
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day．Roses are the Father’s Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died．

请认真阅读下列短文，并在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。每空一词。
In the United States, engineering is a profession that has been dominated historically by men． Even today, it’s still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical engineers, but that’s something www．EngineerGirl．org aims to change． Young women who visit the web site can find out about a great career choice they might not have considered．
“Women are very much underrepresented in engineering and in engineering education programs and then of course, down the road, in the engineering workforce． So only about 20 percent of engineering undergraduate degrees go to women, and then only about nine percent of working engineers are women．”
Mary Mattis in the National Academy of Engineering, says the EngineerGirl website aims to reach young women around ages 11 through 14, when they are just getting old enough to start thinking about their futures．
“We know from the research that middle-school girls are at a critical point in their lives, and that it’s a time when we need to reach them, both with an understanding, increasing their awareness of interesting fields in engineering, what a wonderful productive and exciting career you can have as an engineer． But we also need to reach them at that time because you have to take certain courses, and you can’t start thinking about taking those courses when you’re a junior in high school．”
Engineering is a demanding course of study ---there is a lot of science and mathematics, for many girls and even boys, that can be challenging． But Ms． Mattis says that the EngineerGirl website stresses that engineering can also be fun and exciting．
“It’s about designing things． It’s about changing the world for people． It’s about making a difference． And, in addition, you can make a good living, you can be independent economically by becoming an engineer． All of those things are messages that girls need to get．”
While most engineers go into traditional fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering, the EngineerGirl site also highlights unusual engineering careers in fields such as sports engineering and --- believe it or not --- chocolate engineering．
“There’s a section called ‘why be an engineer,’ and that talks about the many opportunities and increasingly different opportunities like with bio-engineering and environmental engineering, some fields that might appeal to girls who want to make a difference or have a meaning for their careers beyond earning an income．”
Even if you are not a girl in the target age group, there’s a lot of interesting information on the site, including biographies of some notable women engineers．
| Title | Website（71）______ Girls to learn Engineering |
| Present （72）_____ for the engineering profession in the USA | The majority of men take up the profession throughout（73） ______, while only a small number of women work as engineers． |
| （74）_____ of the website | To make young women （75）_____ of interesting fields in engineering and what productivity and（76）_____ the career of being engineers can bring them． |

The application process to almost every college and university in the United States has several parts to it. Each part tells admissions officials at the schools something different about an applicant. 1. A list of the student's activities outside of school can show what his or her interests are.
2. In it, students are expected to write about themselves and express their personal opinions about an issue. The statement helps admissions officers answer questions they may have about a given student.
3. Some schools will ask an applicant a very specific question. Others will let the student choose between different subjects or simply write about anything they want. Generally speaking, there is no one perfect way to write an essay. 4. This could be about a difficult time when they were growing up or a meaningful relationship they had.
However, they should also be careful about the subject they choose. Many students think that telling a sad story makes them easy to remember. 5.What they want is an essay about anything that is truly special or important to the student, and which also shows their better qualities. In addition, it should show the student's understanding of the world and what their experiences or way of thinking will bring to the school.
A. Every school has its own way of looking at the essay.
B. Getting started in the writing process can be difficult.
C. But that is not necessarily what admissions officials want to see.
D. Class grades can show the subjects a student is strong in, for example.
E. Therefore, remember to avoid discussing topics like politics and religion.
F. Given a choice, students should choose to write about an issue they care about.
G. But nothing really tells the story of an applicant as well as the essay or personal statement.

Cleveland has won the distinction of being the worst city in the United States, according to a new survey. The city has high unemployment, terrible weather, heavy taxes, and ordinary sports teams, all of which have pushed it to the No. 1 position in the Forbes.com list.
"Cleveland was the only city that fell in the bottom half of rankings in all nine categories. And it has been entitled with a less than endearing nickname: the Mistake by the lake," Forbes said on its website,
The economic downturn hit cities across the United States last year particularly in the mid-west section of the country. Crime and unemployment secured the No. 2 spot for Stockton, which held the top position in last year's ranking. Memphis got third place thanks to its violent crime rate and the number of officials who are guilty, while the poor auto industry drove the Michigan cities of Detroit and Flint into the top five.
"A lot of the cities that showed up on our list are going through hard times fight now, dealing with high unemployment, with declining producing bases. Many have experienced strong movement out of the city over the last 20 and 30 years."
Despite (尽管) its fine weather, Miami scored in the bottom 10 percent in commuting (上下班往返) time, and violent crime which sent it into sixth place.
"One of the biggest surprises is Miami. The good weather and no state income taxes blur some of the severe problems that Miami has related to crime as well as long commutes," Badenhausen added.
Florida was followed in the poor ranking by St Louis, Buffalo, Canton, Ohio and Chicago, which has the country's highest sales tax at 10.25 percent. New York, the nation's biggest city, is rich in culture but its lengthy commuting time and high income taxes pushed it into 16th place.
1.From the text we can learn that ______.
A．Cleveland has been entitled a lovely nickname
B．the economic downturn hit cities in the mid-east section
C．Miami scored in the bottom 10 percent in all nine categories
D．commuting time in New York is too long
2.What information can be inferred according to the text?
A．The number of officials who are guilty is large in Memphis.
B．Stockton got second place in last year's ranking.
C．High income taxes made New York get 16th place.
D．Ohio has the country's highest sales tax.
3.The word "blur" underlined in the last paragraph but one probably means ______.
A．make it possible B．make it unclear C．make if obvious D．make it important
4.Which of the following is the correct ranking order?
A．Cleveland, Detroit, Miami, Buffalo, Florida.
B．Stockton, Miami, Flint, Florida, Canton.
C．Cleveland, Stockton, Miami, Chicago, Florida.
D．Stockton, Detroit, Miami, Florida, St Louis.

Market analysts in the United States have recently been quoted as saying that the biggest threat to the luxury (奢侈品) industry in the US is the tech industry. This is according to an article by fellow journalist Ashley Lutz. Her suggestion is sound. The main idea of her article is that products from Tiffany & Co. find their biggest competition not from other luxury brands but from companies like Apple. Lutz points out that luxury products are often only for “show,” while the attraction behind tech products is functionality.
You find few people in the United States today willing to purchase luxury goods at full price. It didn’t use to be that way. Luxury goods used to be actually exclusive. That meant you needed to travel to the right store to purchase them, and you didn’t even have the option of getting a deal.
Today, no one wants to pay full price for luxury goods. People have the unfortunate belief that fakes (赝品) somehow are equal to originals, and if you can’t get a deal on eBay, Amazon, or in an outlet store, purchasing a luxury product probably isn’t worth it. Luxury brands struggle to remain high-end (高档的) images despite the reality that the American consumer is motivated much more by discounts than they are by brand names or image.
Yet people stand in line to pay full price for a new product from Apple and crowds gather to hear about a new smart phone. While electronics are updating every day, people are purchasing technology at full prices much more than they are purchasing luxury goods. What are high-tech makers doing right that luxury makers are pitifully failing at?
Carefully looking at the situation, it would appear as if the Internet didn’t hurt the luxury industry, expectation from the consumers did. What people want these days more than anything is stuff that does something. They want cars that drive, shoes that are comfortable, games that are fun to play, screens that are beautiful to look at, tools that are useful, and entertainment that is entertaining. Little of that fits into what the luxury industry has typically offered with its status, image, and fine materials. The sad reality is that luxury products aren’t that luxury any more.
1.What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Nobody likes luxury goods any more.
B. Luxury goods are of poor quality nowadays.
C. Tech products become the new “luxury goods”.
D. Iphones have taken the place of luxury products.
2.The underlined word “exclusive” in paragraph 2 means _______.
A. unique and with no bargain B. low in price
C. hard to find D. easy to sell
3.From paragraph 3 we can know that _______.
A. people have found that some luxury goods are fakes
B. people can buy luxury goods at a low price on eBay
C. luxury brands will give up high-end images
D. consumers prefer brand names to discounts
4.What do people pay most attention to nowadays?
A. The Internet service. B. The images of luxuries.
C. The function of products. D. The expectation from the consumers.
