26、   A woman renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a……” “Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.” “We don’t list in mother as an occupation……” said the recorder.

One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked. The words simply came out. “I’m a research associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.” The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in mid-air. “Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in this field?”

Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research, in the lab and in the field. Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities, and I often work 14 hours a day. But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.” There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.

As I drove into our driveway, feeling happier by my attractive and exciting new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants—aged 13, 7 and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.

I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and essential to mankind than “just another mother”. Motherhood……What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.

B．Because the author did something she had little knowledge of.

C．Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab.

D．Because she thought the author did admirable work.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

The boys in the class talked about what their parents did for a living. Christian was proud of his father, who worked as a chief engineer in a construction company. Paul stood aside and said nothing. Then Christian asked him whom his father worked for. The boy replied that his father was a carpenter (木匠). Christian joked, saying that while his dad was designing bridges and houses, Paul’s dad was making chairs and tables. All the children laughed.

When Christian returned home, he wanted to tell his parents about it. He overheard (无意中听到) their conversation. His dad told his mom that Christian’s uncle had lost his job. Mom asked why Dad couldn’t take him to his company. “My company needs a design engineer, and Bill is a driver. Yes, I know that he is a skilled person in his field, but be can’t design projects. In a few months, a new project will start, we will need diver, and I will recommend him for sure.”

Christian decided that it wasn’t the right time to tell the joke and went to his room. A week later, Christian’s dad was picking him up from his baseball practice. They stopped for pizza and everyone was very happy. Dad and Christian were in the car when a large garbage (垃圾) tuck pulled up in front of them. A man got out of it, pulled out bags from the garbage cans of the pizza shop and loaded hem into the tuck. Christian’s dad sounded the car bell and waved his hand at the man. He smiled and waved his hand back. Christian recognized Uncle Bill, whom his parents had been talking about a few days ago. The garbage tuck left, and Christian asked his father why his uncle was driving a garbage truck. Dad explained that Uncle Bill’s sipping company had closed down. He was working as a garbage truck drive, but soon Dad would take him to his company, because good drivers were important in construction.

Christian told the story from school to his dad and asked him to stay away from Uncle Bill.
