题文
阅读理解。 once in a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home athers. I made the pointthat one reason why we're seeing more stay-at-homw dads may be hat it's no longer definite that a man
makes more money than his wife. Many families now ake earning power into account when deciding which
parent will stay home.
At that point, one of the male crew members pointed out, almost to himself but loud nough for my benefit,
"It should be the better parent who stays home." A lot of guys say hings like that. Usually it's a code for"My
wife, or any woman is the better parent."
I was a stay-at-home father for 8 years, so his words made me excited. It implied that our family's choice
could only have been correct if I was a "better" parent than my wife.
I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the "better"
parent if she spent more time with Jack. She would be able to read him wetter and calm him more quickly.
But as the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son.
Because of the increased time I spent with Jack. I soon knew him well, understood that he needed and
could look after him more or less as well as my wife could. Actually, he experience helped me unlock one of
the world's great secrets; Women are good at booking after children because they do it. It is not because of
any innate (先天的) female talent. It is because they put in the time and attention required to become good at
the job.

experience is more important. When I got the experience myself. I was people are able to look after them as
well besides their moms. 1. The first paragraph implies _____. A. more and more men like staying at home

【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
