To "sacrifice" means to give up something for the sake of something else．We decided to sacrifice our luxurious city life to move to a seaside village with our children aged 9 and 3．In the city, we had a beautiful home and plenty of money but little real security because crime was on the increase every day．We never knew if we would all make it home safely each night．
We were very happy in the new town but life was very difficult economically．Our income was very much dependent on tourism and the jobs at other times are few．Although many of the long-standing residents live well, it is a very competitive environment for newcomers．
Reading the newspapers from big cities assured us that we had made the right choice．There is so much violence and crime there! However, it was not always easy to explain to the children why they could no longer have what they used to have, especially when our "rich" friends came from the city to visit us．Generally, they have so much but think they have so little and are always looking for more．
One day, one of our rich friends came to visit us．His son preferred riding in the back of our beat-up little pickup （小卡车） to his father' s big modern car．Our little daughter called me and said, “Mom, please help me to explain to James the reason why he is wrong．He said, ' today, if you don't have money you are nothing．' I know that is not true．If you do have money you share it with your friends and if they don't have money, you share it with them．That is what makes us all rich．" This made me realize that the sacrifice was well worth it．Our kids understand that they may not have all the spoils of city life but they do have a solid set of values and they know that our most precious gifts are our good friends and a wonderful environment．
1.What was the reason why the family moved away from the city?
A．They were tired of city life．
B．The city was not safe enough．
C．The people in the city were not friendly．
D．The cost of living in the city was too high．
2.Why was it "a very competitive environment" for them according to the author?
A．The residents were all very poor．
B．It was hard to make a living．
C．Their children couldn't get what they had in the city．
D．They had few friends in their new environment．
3.What assured the author that they had made the right choice according to the passage?
A．What she read in the newspaper．
B．The beautiful scenery of countryside．
C．The residents' living conditions．
D．That fact that they had been accustomed to the new place．
4.What did the family gain from their sacrifice?
A．They had a beautiful house in the seaside village．
B．They made a lot of money during the tourist seasons．
C．The parents got very good jobs in the new town．
D．The children developed good values．
Though some people have suggested that women should return to housework in order to leave more jobs for men, the idea has been rejected by both women and men in public opinion polls（民意测验）．Lately some union officials have suggested that too many women are employed in type of work more suitable for men and that women should step aside to make way for unemployed young men．They argue that women — — especially women in their childbearing years actually delay economic development and result in lower productivity, poor quality and inefficiency．
To solve the problem, they have suggested that the working women stay at home while their husbands or brothers were given double wages．They argue that under these circumstances ~families would retain their same level of income, and women could run the house and raise children much better．
The suggestion has been rejected by 9 out of 10 people polled．A hundred persons in a big city were questioned last summer．Out of 50 women, 46 said they were unwilling to leave their jobs, no matter what the situation was．The other 4 said they would like to return home if their jobs could be taken by their sons or daughters．Of 50 men polled, only 6 said they would like to see their wives give up their jobs, if it meant higher wages for themselves．
Some other people have suggested another way called “phased employment theory ”．The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave from her job when she is seven months pregnant（妊娠） and stay off the job until her baby reaches the age of 3．It suggests that women on leave receive 75 percent of their normal salary and be allowed to return to work after the 3—year period．This will benefit children, women, their families and the society．Some of those polled, both women and men, felt the idea is a good one．It definitely seems to be more acceptable than the suggestion that women return to home forever．

A．all of them are employed in unsuitable types of work

A．they should be allowed to attend school to be trained

C．their children should also leave their kindergartens
D．the male employees in their families should receive double wages
3.According to the passage, the suggestion that women should return to housework was ________
A．welcomed by women only
B．welcomed by men only
C．opposed by most men and women
D．welcomed by men and women

C．a woman should resign her job forever if she has a child
D．two or more women share the same job
