AB.After two years of carefully thinking about the decision,Marianne chose to adopt and now has a beautiful little boy. AC.This untraditional parent thinks he is lucky. What’s in a word?

Some words are more difficult than others to explain or define.Some are hard to define because we have strong feelings about them.We have strong emotions about word such as divorce or childhood.We may feel sad,happy,or angry when we think about these words.Definitions of other words have changed as people and the world have changed.Traditionally,the word mother meant both female parent and primary caregiver(the person who cares for the children).The word father meant both male parent and breadwinner(the person who earns money for the family).(67)________________ In generally,this is still true,but two points of this traditional definition are changing.

Marianne Boswell,a single mother living in the Boston area.”I wanted it to be a conscious decision,as opposed to something that just didn’t happen to me.”

These women become mothers in different ways.Some adopt a baby.Some carefully choose a partner.Others choose donor insemination,a medical process that can cause pregnancy.The National Center for Health Statistics reports that 32% of all births are now to unmarried women.In 1960,the rate was only 5.3%.(68)________________

There is another group that is also questioning the traditional definitions.In this group are men who choose to stay at home and care for their children.They,not their wives,are the primary caregivers.As Randall Mitchell says in the movie “Mr.Mom,””When my daughter wakes up at night,she calls for her daddy”(69)________________

As society changes,our definitions change.(70)________________ As a result, we may need to create some new words.Somehow,”single mother”and”Mr.Mom”do not seem like very good names.

Ⅳ.Reading and Writing

Directions: Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS.Use your own words as far as possible.Write your answer on the answer sheet.

A lot of us fall into the trap of thinking travel will solve our problems.But some problems can only be solved by tackling them head on. Travel won’t make you any happier if it doesn’t change anything that relates to your problems.

To illustrate this,let’s imagine that your goal in life is to become an alpaco（羊驼）farmer.You’re stuck in a dead end job at home,not an alpaca in sight.You’re depressed and think you’ll never own that farm.

You’ve seen all these articles online about travel and how it leads to so much happiness and wish fulfillment for others.Plus it’s so easy.All you need to do is leave.Pretty soon you’re also thinking that travel will make you happy and fulfill your dreams.So you go away and travel and you have a great time.

Travel is so intense that it can dazzle you for months or even years.You’re experiencing so many new things that you’re constantly in the now.The future doesn’t matter when you’re bungee jumping off an elephant.But soon things settle down and when you get time to think,your mind will soon drift back to that farm.

Travel becomes that boring job,the world becomes your office.You find yourself staring longingly outwards,dreaming of alpacas.

That’s not to say your travel has been wasted.Maybe it will just show you what you’ve always known anyway and that you really need to focus on the alpaca problem.Maybe it will give you enough confidence to follow that alpaca dream.

It’s wrong for us to think travel can solve problems. Imaging you’re longing for a farm but depressed, you’re attracted by advertisements and go to travel. You experience fun during traveling, but finally you’ll face former difficulties. Then travel itself becomes boring. Anyway, travel may help you gain confidence, but it’s helpless if you already know what to do. (59 words)

2. One’s need for heat depends on his size and amount of activities, so it’s not sensible to go on a diet only by cutting down the amount of heat absorbed.
