Your mom just told you there's no way she's letting you out of the house until you clean your room.

Well, this is one way to 　17　with anger. After all, you've expressed yourself and you've 　18　down. Some of the anger may be due to the changes your body's going through --- all those hormones can cause wild mood swings and confused 　19　.

A

More men are finding their careers as nurses.

A new study from the United States Census Bureau reports the number of male nurses has doubled since the 1970s. Back then, about 2.7 percent of registered nurses were men. The new study, which tracked data through 2011, finds that men now make up 9.6 percent of all employed nurses in the United States — about 3,309,000 men in total.Recent years of shortages have led to increased efforts, according to report, including recruiting men into the field.

Men, in fact, had been largely kept out of nursing in past decades because nursing schools often refused to admit men.The Supreme Court ruled that practice unconstitutional in 1981 after a case involving a state nursing school.

"The relatively high wages and expanding job opportunities makes this field attractive, offering stability even during recessions (经济衰退)," wrote the report’s author, Liana Christin Landivar of the U.S. Census Bureau, "and because of high demand, nursing has low unemployment rates compared to other fields."

Men were found to be more likely to become nurse anesthetists (麻醉师), which is the highest paid nursing occupation, and were found least likely to become licensed practical or licensed vocational nurses, the lowest paid types of nursing. Nurse anesthetists are required to get graduate education, and are certified to give anesthetists and monitor patients recovering from anesthesia. Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses provide patient care and may work under the supervision (监督) of a registered nurse. Registered nurses assess patient health problems and needs, develop and carry out nursing care plans, maintain medical records, and administer care.

For all types of nursing, men earned, on average, $60,700 per year, while women earned $51,100 per year. "Even among men and women in the same nursing occupations, men earn more than women," wrote Landivar.

36．Which of the following is true about nurses in the US in the 1970s?

A.The number of male nurses doubled.

B.About 2.7% of registered nurses were men.

C.There were about 330,000 male nurses.

D.About 9.6% of employed nurses were men.

37．The underlined word "recruiting" in Paragraph 2 probably means "　　　".

A.helping people to get used to B.ordering people to learn

C.asking people to join in D.inspiring people to devote

38．Why are more men willing to become nurses in the US?

A.The economy is in bad condition.

B.More people are out of employment.

C.It is promising to go to nursing schools.

D.It’s easier to get employed and well paid.

39．According to the text, male nurses are more likely to　　　.

A.become licensed practical nurses B.devote themselves to work

C.graduate from nursing schools D.get the highest paid nursing occupation

40．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A.Men are more likely to be better nurses.

B.As nurses, men earn more than women.

C.Male nurses work harder than female ones.

D.Male and female nurses do different jobs.

B

Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.Children know this very well.Fred Epstein,in his book If I Make It to Five,tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom,a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.

　　Tom loved to pretend,and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.

　　The day before his third trip to the operating room,Tom was terribly afraid. "Maybe I could go as Superman," he whispered to his mom.Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while.She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装),but finally she agreed.

　　The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman,showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.And Tom,with the strength of his fantasy,successfully made it through the operation.

　　The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible,to go through those things that seem impossible,and to achieve what we never believed we could.Just as Dr.Epstein puts it,"If you can dream it,you can do it."

　　It doesn’t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview.But,next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it.Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.So,let your imagination run wild,and dare to dream.

41．What do we know about Tom?

A.He was seriously ill. B.He was a dishonest boy.

C.He was crazy about magic. D.He was Dr.Epstein’s patient.

42．What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?

A.She was a rich lady. B.She refused Tom’s request.

C.She wanted Tom to be a superhero. D.She wanted to get Tom through the pain.

43．When Tom went for the third operation,he 　　　　.?

A.pretended to be painful B.acted like a sup
