36、few have begun to occupy vital positions in business, government, and banking, breaking through the so-called glass ceiling. Money matters influence women to work. Some are employed full time, some part time, and some seek creative solutions such as flex-time work schedules and job sharing. Many are

37、 single mothers, in single-parent family, raising children by themselves. But in most cases, one income in the household is simply not enough, so both parents must work to support the family.

39、ave a nanny, a woman who comes to care for the children in their own home.

43、eople Support Families?CMark Rothko, one of the greatest painters of the twentieth century, was born in Daugavpils, Latvia in 1903. His family immigrated to the United States in 1913, after a 12-day voyage.Mark moved to New York in the autumn of 1923 and found employment in the garment trade and set

44、tled down on the Upper West Side. It was while he was visiting someone at the Art Students League that he saw students painting a model. According to him, this was the start of his life as an artist. He was twenty years old and had taken some art lessons at school, so his initial experience was far

45、from an immediate calling.In 1936, Mark Rothko began writing a book, which he never completed, about the similarities in the childrens art and the work of modern painters. The work of modernists, which was influenced by primitive art, could, according to him, be compared to that of children in that

46、“Child art transforms itself into primitivism, which is only the child producing a copy of himself.” In this same work, he said that “The fact that one usually begins with drawing is already academic. We start with colour.”It was not long before his multiform developed into the style he is remembere

47、d for. In 1949 Rothko exhibited these new works at the Betty Parsons Gallery. For reviewer Harold Rosenberg, the paintings were unique and primitive. Rothko had, after painting his first multiform, separated himself from the world in East Hampton on Long Island, only inviting a very few people, incl

48、uding Rosenberg, to view the new paintings. The discovery of his works specialty came at a period of great sorrow: his mother Kate died in October 1948. As part of this new uniformity of artistic vision, his paintings no longer had individual titles. From this point on they were simply untitled, num

49、bered or dated. However, to assist in distinguishing one work from another, traders would sometimes add the primary colours to the name. Additionally, for the next few years, Rothko painted in oil only on large vertical tents. This was done to surround the viewer, or, in his words, to make the viewe

50、r feel enveloped within the picture.63. When did Rothko want to be an artist?A. When he immigrated to the U.S.A.B. When he watched students drawing.C. When he moved to the Upper West Side.D. When he joined the Art Students League.64. What did Rothko think of modern art?A. It could be produced by chi

51、ldren.B. It could be compared to child work.C. It was a certain kind of primitive art.D. It was academic from the very beginning.65. Why does the author mention Rothkos uncompleted book?A. To prove Rothkos concentration on painting.B. To show Rothkos research on the modern art.C. To suggest Rothkos

52、unique personal painting style.D. To explain the inspiration of Rothkos painting style.66. Rothkos distinctive style _.A. took shape in 1948B. was affected by RosenbergC. resulted from his boyhood experienceD. was rooted in the separation from the worldDWhat exactly is intelligence? There arent any

53、easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science，until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene(基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Ins

54、titute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found

55、 was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a l

56、ot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one.Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a b
