How many men do housework? Recently a European Commission tried to find out people’s ideas and reactions to the women’s movement.As part of their survey, they asked many men and women the question, “Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women!
The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting.48% of British husbands said they did these things.37% of Danish men helped in the house.But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework, many of them said they never helped at all!
But there was an interesting point of view from the wives.According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house.And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped.The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission found that Danish men were the most trustful husbands; their answers were the same as their wives’ answers.
Do the men you know help in the house? Do you think the survey gives a true picture in your experience? Write and tell us what you think.

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
1.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ______.
A.the meaning of success B.the reasons for success
C.the standards of success D.the importance of success
2.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A.work makes one feel pain B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.it takes a lot of time to succeed D.one gives up his work easily
3.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
B.Successful people like to show their great skills.
C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
4.What is the main theme of the passage?
A.Having a goal is vital to success.
B.Being good is different from being great.
C.Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
D.One cannot succeed without time and practice.
Downloading music over the Internet is pretty common among high school and college students.However, when students download and share copyrighted music without permission, they are against the law.
A survey of young people’s music ownership has found that teenagers and college students have an average of more than 800 illegally copied songs each on their digital music players．Half of those surveyed share all the music on their hard drive (硬盘), enabling others to copy hundreds of songs at any one time.Some students were found to have randomly linked their personal blogs to music sites, so as to allow free trial listening of copyrighted songs for blog visitors, or adopted some of the songs as the background music for their blogs.Such practices may be easy and free, but there are consequences.
Sandra Dowd, a student of Central Michigan University, was fined US $7,500 for downloading 501 files from Lime Wire, a peer-to-peer file sharing program.Sandra claimed that she was unaware that her downloads were illegal until she was contacted by authorities.Similarly, Mike Lewinski paid US $4,000 to settle a lawsuit（起诉）against him for copyright violation (违反).Mike expressed shock and couldn’t believe that this was happening to him.“I just wanted to save some money and I always thought the threat was just a scare tactic(战术).” “You know, everyone does it,” added Mike.
The RIAA （Recording Industry Association of America）, the organization that files lawsuits against illegal downloaders, states that suing (控告) students was by no means their first choice.Unfortunately, without the threat of consequences, students are just not changing their behavior.Education alone is not enough to stop the extraordinary growth of the illegal downloading practice.
1.Why is it common for students to download copyrighted music?
A.They want their friends to know that they are smart.
B.They don’t think that they will be caught.
C.They think it is a good way to make some extra money.
D.They are against copyright protection over Internet music.
2.What does Mike mean by saying that “the threat was just a scare tactic”?
A.One should not be afraid of threats.
B.A lawsuit will result from the threat.
C.No serious consequence will follow the threat.
D.It is unfair to scare people with a threat.
3.What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Copyright Violators, Beware!
B.How to Get Free Music Online!
C.A Survey of Students’ Downloading Habits
D.Get rid of Illegal Music Download? Impossible!
