Questionsare based on the following passage.
Education makes our lives richer. It 36 us with opportunities. So the amount that girls were allowed to 37 in education is an important part of American history, too.
In Colonial times, school was 38 for boys; it was usually taught by a young man, since parents felt that boys needed 39 leadership.
In the 19th century, more women became school teachers. These teachers were often very young women, even 40 . Usually, they taught for only a few years. By about the 1840s, teaching had become women’s profession. Now people wanted a teacher who would 41 and support their children, not a strict school master. They felt that women were more 42 to the job. By the 1850s nearly all teachers were women, especially in the elementary schools. Still, not all girls 43 school, and schools still focused mainly on educating boys. This began to change by the end of the 19th century when our country decided that all children should have free 44 education. However, it did not happen right away; at first, schools still focused on the boys as they had in the past.
During the 20th century, the majority of children, both boys and girls, attended school regularly. The teaching 45 continued to be made up mostly of women. Since the 1930s, about 70% of the teaching force has been women.

简答题
8、回答题：
　　A) One evening a few years ago I found myself in an anxiety. Nothing was really wrong -- my fam-ily and I were healthy, my career was busy and successful -- I was just feeling vaguely down andin need of a friend who could raise my spirits, someone who would meet me for coffee and let merant until the clouds lifted. I dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in California,and got her voicemail. That's when it started to dawn on me -- lonesomeness was at the root of mydreariness. My social life had dwindled to almost nothing, but somehow until that moment I'd beentoo busy to notice. Now it hit me hard. My old friends, buddies since college or even childhood,knew everything about me; when they left, they had taken my context with them.
　　B) Research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social isolation on one's health. Butmy concerns were more short-term. I needed to feel understood right then in the way that only a girlfriend can understand you. I knew it would be wrong to expect my husband to replace my friends:He couldn't, and even if he could, to whom would I then complain about my husband? So I resolvedto acquire new friends -- women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling their eyes at the worlda little bit just as I did. Since I'd be making friends with more intention than I'd ever given the pro-cess, I realized I could be selective, that I could in effect design my own social life. The downside,of course, was that I felt pretty frightened.
　　C) After all, it's a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife that it is when yon're younger -- a fact     woman I've spoken with point out again and again. As Leslie Danzig, 41, a Chicago theater directorand mother, sees it, when you're in your teens and 20s, you're more or less friends with everyoneunless there's a reason not to be. Your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly dueto proximity. Now there needs to be a reason to be friends. "There are many people I'm comfort-able around, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them friends. Comfort isn't enough to sustain a realfriendship," Danzig says.
　　D) At first, finding new companions felt awkward. At 40 I couldn't run up to people the way my4-year-old daughters do in the playground and ask, "Will you be my friend?  Every time you start anew relationship, you're vulnerable again," agrees Kathleen Hall, D Min, founder and CEO of theStress Institute, in Atlanta. "You're asking, 'Would you like to come into my life?' It makes us self-conscious."
　　E) Fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. I realized that as a mature friend seeker my vulnerabilityrisk was actually pretty low. If someone didn't take me up on my offer, so what: I wasn't in ju-nior high, when I might have been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. At my age I haveamassed enough self-esteem to realize that I have plenty to offer.
　　F) We're all so busy, in fact, that mutual interests -- say, in a project, class, or cause that we alreadymake time for -- become the perfect catalysts for bringing us in contact with candidates for camara-derie. Michelle Mertes, 35, a teacher and mother of two in Wausau, Wisconsin, says anew friend shemade at church came as a pleasant surprise. "In high school I chose friends based on their popular-ity and how being part of their circle might reflect on me. Now's it's our shared values and activitiesthat count." Mertes says her pal, with whom she organized the church's youth programs, is nothinglike her but their drive and organizational skills make them ideal fiiends.
　　G) Happily, as awkward as making new friends can be, self-esteem issues do not factor in -- or if theydo, you can easily put them into perspective. Danzig tells of the mother of a child in her son's pre-school, a tall, beautiful woman who is married to a big-deal rock musician. "I said to my husband,'she's too cool for me,'" she jokes. "I get intimidated by people. But once I got to know her, sheturned out to be pretty laid-back and friendly." In the end there was no chemistry between them, sothey didn't become good pals. "I realized that we weren't each other's type, but it wasn't about hi-erarchy." What midlife friendship is about, it seems, is reflecting the person you've become (or arestill becoming) back at yourself, thus reinforcing the progress you've made in your life.
　　H) Harlene Katzman, 41, a lawyer in New York City, notes that her oldest friends knew her back whenshe was less sure of herself. As much as she loves them, she believes they sometimes respond to is-sues in light of who she once was. An old chum has the goods on you. With recently made friends,you can turn over a new leaf.
　　I)  A new friend, chosen right, can also help you point your boat in the direction you want to go. HannaDershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in Los Angeles, found that a new acquaintance from workwas exactly what she needed in a friend. In addition to liking and respecting Julia, Dershowitz had afeeling that the fit and athletic younger woman would help her to get in shape.
　　J)  While you're busy making new friends, remember that you still need to nurture your old ones. Weasked Marla Paul, author of The Friendship Crisis: Finding, Making, and Keeping Friends WhenYou "re Not a Kid Anymore, for the best ways to maintain these important relationships. Keep in  touch. Your friends should be a priority; schedule regular lunch dates or coffee catch-up sessions, nomatter how busy you are. Know her business. Keep track of important events in a friend's life andshow your support. Call or e-mail to let her know you're thinking of her. Speak your mind. Tell afriend (politely) if something she did really upset you. If you can't be totally honest, then you needto reexamine the relationship. Accept her flaws. No one is perfect, so work around her quirks --she's chronically late, or she's a bit negative -- to cut down on frustration and fights. Boost her ego.Heartfelt compliments make everyone feel great, so tell her how nuch you love her new sweater orwhat a great job she did on a work project.
Leslie Danzig thought making friends at one's middle age needed some reasons.

10、 A) Summary: When home office computers go down, many small businesses grind to a halt. Fortunately, taking steps to recover from disasters and minimize their effects is quite straightforward.
B) Fires, power surges, and floods, they're all facts of life. We read about them in the morning paper and see them on the evening news. We sympathize with the victims and commiserate over their bad luck. We also shake our heads at the digital consequences—melted computers, system failures, destroyed data. Yet, somehow, many of us continue to live by that old mantra of denial: "It won't happen to me." Well, the truth is, at some point you'll probably have to deal with at least one disaster. That's just how it goes, and in most aspects of our lives we do something about it. We buy insurance. We stow away provisions. We even make disaster plans and run drills. But for some reason, computer disaster recovery is a blind spot for many of us. It shouldn't be. Home computers contain some of our most important information, both business and personal, and making certain our data survives a disaster should be a priority. Moreover, even the smallest disaster can be a serious disruption. Personal computers have become an integral part of the smooth-running household. We use them to communicate, shop, and do homework, and they're even more vital to home office users. When home office computers go down, many small businesses grind to a halt. Fortunately, taking steps to recover from disasters and minimize their effects is quite straightforward. With a good offsite storage plan and the right tools, you can bounce back quickly and easily from minor computer disasters. And, should a major calamity strike, you can rest assured your data is safe.
Offsite Storage: Major Disasters
C) House fires and floods are among the most devastating causes of personal computer destruction. That's why a solid offsite backup and recovery plan is essential. Although many home users faithfully back up their hard drives, many would still lose all their data should their house flood our burn. That's because they keep their backups in relatively close to their computers. Their backup disks might not be in the same room as their computers—tucked away in a closet or even the garage—but they're not nearly far enough away should a serious disaster strike. So, it's important to back up your system to a removable medium and to store it elsewhere.
D) There are many ways to approach offsite storage. It starts with choice of backup tools and storage medium. Disaster situations are stressful, and your recovery tools shouldn't add to that stress. They must be dependable and intuitive, making it easy to schedule regular backups and to retrieve files in a pinch. They must also be compatible with your choice of backup medium. Depending on your tools, you can back up to a variety of durable disk types—from CDs to Jaz drives to remote network servers. Although many of these storage media have high capacity, a backup tool with compression capabilities is a big plus, eliminating the inconvenience of multiple disks or large uploads.
E) Once you select your tools and a suitable medium, you need to find a remote place to store your backups. The options are endless. However, no matter where you choose, be sure the site is secure, easily accessible, and a good distance away from your home. You may also want to consider using an Internet-based backup service. More and more service providers are offering storage space on their servers, and uploading files to a remote location has become an attractive alternative to conventional offsite storage. Of course, before using one of these services, make certain you completely trust the service provider and its security methods. Whatever you do, schedule backups regularly and store them far away from your home.
Come What May: Handling the Garden Variety Computer Crisis
F) Not all home computer damage results from physical disaster. Many less menacing problems can also hobble your PC or destroy your information. Systems crash, kids "rearrange" data, adults inadvertently delete files. Although these events might not seem calamitous, they can have serious implications. So, once again, it's important to be prepared. As with physical disasters, regular backups are essential. However, some of these smaller issues require a response that's more nuanced than wholesale backup and restoration. To deal with less-than-total disaster, your tool set must be both powerful and agile. For example, when a small number of files are compromised, you may want to retrieve those files alone. Meanwhile, if just your settings are affected, you'll want a simple way to roll back to your preferred setup. Yet, should your operating system fail, you'll need a way to boot your computer and perform large-scale recovery. Computer crises come in all shapes and sizes, and your backup and recovery tools must be flexible enough to meet each challenge.
The Right Tools for the Right Job: Gearing up for Disaster
G) When disaster strikes, the quality of your backup tools can make the difference between utter frustration and peace of mind. Symantec understands this and offers a range of top quality backup and recovery solutions. Norton GoBack is the perfect tool for random system crashes, failed installations, and inadvertent deletions. With this powerful and convenient solution, it's simple to retrieve overwritten files or to bring your system back to its pre-crash state. Norton Ghost is a time-tested home office solution. Equipped to handle full-scale backups, it's also handy for cloning hard drives and facilitating system upgrades. A favorite choice for IT professionals, it's the ideal tool for the burgeoning home office. You can buy Norton Ghost and Norton GoBack separately, or get them both when you purchase Norton System Works.
H) Life's disasters, large and small, often catch us by surprise. However, with a little planning and the right tools, you can reduce those disasters to bumps in the road. So, don't wait another day. Buy a good set of disaster recovery tools, set up an automatic backup schedule, and perform a dry run every now and again. Then, rest easy.
