“I would almost rather see you dead.” Bobert S. Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twentyyearold eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady’s family racked among the best of Philadelphia’s social families, such an idea could not even be considered.
That was how Mary Cassatt, born 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father’s anger, she opposed him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position and all thoughts of a thousand and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance, she became America’s most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.

A. Drawing and painting was simply unthinkable among ladies in those days.
B. He did not believe his daughter wanted to work seriously in art.
C. He believed an artist’s life would be too hard for his daughter.
D. Ladies of good families simply did not become artists in those times.
38. What made Mary Cassatt’s “struggle” to become a recognized artist especially hard?
A. She was a woman.
B. Her father opposed her.
C. She had no social position.
D. She didn’t come from an artist’s family.
39. What do we know about Mary Cassatt’s marriage?
A. Her marriage failed because she never gave a thought to her husband and family.
B. She never married because she did not want to be just a wife and mother.
C. After marriage she decided to give up her husband rather than her career.
D. She did not marry because for a lady of her social position to marry below her was unthinkable.

Are you going to high school to go on with your study? What will you do if you cant? Dont worry. Vocational schools are open for you because our country is in need of people with special skills.
Compared with common high schools, vocational schools have more advantages. Firstly, in order to promote the development of vocational education, our country spends a lot of money on it. So you need to pay only a smaller half of the school fee. Secondly, in here you have already started learning practical skills that you can use all your life. But some other students may still worry about how to spend the long three years at high schools. Why? Because they didnt choose the school that suits them. And finally, when they are still wondering where to go, you are already able to live on your own hands proudly. And perhaps it wont be long before you are on the road to success.
People take different roads because they have different potentials. So different students should choose different schools. Go to high school if you think that you can go farther on that road. Choose a key high school if you are lucky enough to have the chance. Enter a vocational school if you are interested in the lessons there and you are better at making things with your hands.

The first walk into outer space was taken by a Soviet astronaut. Astronaut Zhai Zhigang became the first Chinese to walk in space on September 27, 2008. It showed that it was quite safe for a man to be outside the spaceship for a certain period of time. But to walk in space, astronauts have to meet with many kinds of difficulties and dangers.
The spaceship goes round the earth at an altitude of about 200 kilometers above its surface. At such altitudes there is no atmosphere which protects the life on the earth. The conditions of outer space are very harmful to man.
The boiling point of liquids goes down with pressure. But pressure outside the spaceship is nearly zero. In such conditions the decompression of the spacesuit may cause the boiling of the blood and quick death. There is radiation from space and it is harmful.
Breathing problems in space can be solved with the help of the spacesuit. Another problem is heat. Man gives off heat in the course of his activity, and the harder the labor is, the greater the amount of heat is. In space unless special measures are taken, the heat inside the spacesuit would make the conditions difficult.
