Nelson Mandela was a figure of international fame, and many details of his life and career were public knowledge. But here are a few things you may not have known about the late South African leader.

He was a boxing fan. In his youth, Nelson Mandela enjoyed boxing. Even during the 27 years he spent in prison, he would exercise every morning."I did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it. I was interested in how one moved one's body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat, how one paced oneself over a match,"he wrote in his autobiographyLongWalktoFreedom.

His original name was not Nelson. Rolihlahla Mandela was nine years old when a teacher at the primary school where he was studying in Qunu, South Africa, gave him an English name—Nelson—in accordance with the custom to give all school children Christian names.

This was common practice in South Africa and in other parts of the continent, where a person could often be given an English name that foreigners would find it easier to pronounce.

He had his own law firm, but it took him years to get a law degree. Mr. Mandela studied law on and off from 1939, failing about half the courses he took, and in August 1952, he and Oliver Tambo established South Africa's first black law firm in Johannesburg. He persevered to finally secure a law degree while in prison in 1989.

He was on a US terror watch list until 2008. Before this, along with other former ANC leaders, Mr. Mandela was only able to visit the US with special permission from the secretary of state, because the ANC had been designated (指定) a terrorist organization in the 1980s by South Africa's former government.

"It is frankly a rather embarrassing matter that I still have to give up my own counterparts—the foreign minister of South Africa, not to mention the great leader, Nelson Mandela,"then Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in 2008.

He forgot his glasses there when he was released from prison. Mr. Mandela's release on February 11, 1990 followed years of political pressure. On that day, he was"astonished and a little alarmed", he recalled later. Mr. Mandela and his then-wife Winnie were taken to the center of Cape Town to address a huge crowd. But when he pulled out the text of his speech, he realized he had forgotten his glasses there and had to borrow Winnie's.

17．FromLongWalktoFreedom, we also know that Nelson .

A.was a boxing fan

B.got great international fame



C.was his original name

D.fought against a terrorist organization



18．In which country was Nelson able to enter only with special permission?

A.In South Africa.

B.In the United States.



C.In England.

D.In Africa



19．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.A teacher at a primary school gave Mandela an English name Rolihlahla Mandela.

B.Then Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice disagreed with Mandela to visit America in 2008.

C.Mandela left his glasses in prison when he was set free because of his astonishment then.

D.Nelson gave his speech to his whole country immediately after his freedom without any notes.

Two facts are often covered up in the public conversation about women, work, and family. First, the vast majority of married mothers don't want to work full-time. Second, married mothers who are able to cut back on work to meet their family's needs tend to be happier.

Mothers and fathers were asked by Pew if they had made family-related sacrifices for work—from quitting their job to turning down a promotion. Pew found that 65 percent of mothers had made such a family-related sacrifice, compared to 45 percent of fathers.

Women with children were more likely to be"very happy"with their lives if they made a family-related work sacrifice. By contrast, the happiness of married men was not significantly related to making work sacrifices for their families.

These results do not prove that spending less time on work makes women happier. It could be, for instance, that happier women are more likely to make work sacrifices. Or it could be that more abundant mothers, who are more likely to be happy above a certain level of income, can spend more time with their families than poorer mothers.

Most mothers would prefer not to work full-time, and the most popular option for women, when it comes to balancing work and family, is part-time work. A New York Times survey this year found that 49 percent of mothers wished to work part-time, compared to 27 percent who wished to work full-time.

This data suggests that one reason why mothers who make work sacrifices are happier is that they would prefer to reduce their work—at least for some portion of their lives as mothers—and are happier when they can do so.

This reality is often covered up in the public conversation about work, women, and family, but as Catherine atTheNewYorkTimesobserved:"Not everyone aims to be an executive at Facebook, like Sandberg, or to set foreign policy, like Anne-Marie Slaughter (author of the bestsellerWhyWomenCan'tHaveItAll)."Instead, as Pew said, most women are"looking for flexibility and balance"when it comes to considering their aspirations for success at home and work.

Again, in the public conversation and the formulation of public policies regarding work and family, let us not forget that the happiest mothers are those who are able to lean homeward, at least for a season in their lives.

20．It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs .

A.all the topics about women, work, and family are directly discussed in public

B.most mothers want to continue their full-time work for family happiness

C.most mothers are willing to make more sacrifices for their family

D.65 percent of fathers willingly make a family-related sacrifice to gain their promotion

21．As for work, the most popular choice for mothers from a New York Times survey is .

A.a part-time job

B.a full-time job

C.an abundant job

D.an optional job



22．What's the author's attitude towards the happiest mothers mentioned in the text?

A.Positive.

B.Critical.

C.Disagreeable.

D.Sympathetic.



23．What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Married Mothers Who Are at Work Are Happier

B.Married Mothers Who Cut Back on Work Are Happier

C.Mothers Who Spend Much Time with Children Are Tired Very Much

D.Mothers Who Still Have Their Full-time Jobs Are Much Energetic
