根据以下内容回答题:Tracy McGrady is a real life superstar.He spent the summer traveling in Europe,working with Adidas on his latest basketball shoe and playing with Team U.S.A.in an Olympic qualif-ying game.He also spent countless hours in the gym.“l work on things every day in the off-season.”says McGrady,24,an All.Star guard with the National Basketball Association’s Orlando Magic. Until McGrady was 17,few outside his tiny hometown knew of his skills.He was raised mostly by his grandmother in a rough part of town.Sports were his escapes.To gain more expo-sure for his basketball skills,McGrady transferred to play his senior season at Mount Zion Christian Academy in North Carolina.After leading the Mighty Warriors to a 26—2 record that season,McGrady was named Player of the Year by a national newspaper.

根据以下内容回答题:Last December"s earthquakes in the Iranian city of Bam took a huge death toll—roughly 40,000 people——largely because of the collapse of thousands of mud—brick buildings.If a group of researchers in India are successful,the next earthquake might not be as destructive.British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake—proof housing using a cheap,universal material:bamboo. Thev designed a model house built around waterproof bamboo-sheet roofing and bamboo-reinforced concrete walls.To test the structure,the engineers,sponsored by the U.K.Depart-ment of qnternational Development,took it to the Earthquake Engineering and Vibration Re-search Centre in Bangalore,which has a state.of-the-art earthquake simulator(模拟装置).The researchers shook the house with five successive 30-second pulses,being equal to 7.8 on the Richter(里氏)scale.The simulation was more than 10 times as violent as the Bam earth-quake.yet the house emerged undamaged.“We didn’t even crack the paint,”says engineer Paul Follett.of Britain’s Timber Research and Development Association. By some estimates,more than a binion people already live in bamboo structures.The innovation lies in developing ways to exploit bamboo’S spring.Easily pre-built,fire resistant,and far lighter than steel,bamboo.based structures could be assembled in three weeks and last 50 vears.At five dollars a square foot,they would last roughly half as much as brick-and-block constructions.Follett says the project will follow an“open source”model:“Whatever is developed is freely available for the common good.”

根据以下内容回答题:The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman’s life spent in caring for the children.A woman’marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties,and would be likely to have seven or eight children,of whom four or five lived tiU they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen,the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect.to live a further twenty years,during which custom,opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer children.Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years old and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods. This important change in woman’s life-pattern has only recendy begun to have its full effect on women"s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity,and most of them took a full time job.However,when they married,they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school leaving age is sixteen,many girls stay at school after that age,and though women tend to marry younger,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Very many more afterwards retum to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage,with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life,aid with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money,and running the home,according to the abilities and interests of each of them.
- According to the passage,it is now quite usual for women to__________ .
- A.stay at home after leaving school
- B.marry men younger than themselves
- C.start work until retirement at 60
- D.marry while still at school
