Questionsare based on the following passage.
Workers with skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are among the mmost in demand and highest paid.They are seen as key drivers of problem-solving and economic growth, who will help shape the future.And most of them are men.Nadya Fouad, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and her colleagues surveyed more than 5,000 women who had graduated from some of the top universities with engineering degrees over the past six decades.They found that 40 percent had either quit the field or never entered the profession in the first place.For more than two decades, women have accounted for about 20 percent of all engineering degrees.Yet fewer than 11 percent of all engineers are women.For the most part, Fouad found that what really pushed women out were uncivil workplace climates, the expectation to put in long hours of face time in the office, and the feeling that there was little opportunity to advance.Of the women who left the field less than five years ago, two-thirds pursued better opportunities in other fields——72 percent became either managers or executives.One-third said they stayed home with children because their companies didn"t settle work-life conflicts.
It is not about making the women more confident or anything.It"s really about the climate in the workplace, Fouad said.Even women who are staying consider leaving because they don"t have superior support.They don"t have training and development opportunities.And their colleagues are not civil to them, look down upon them, or talk behind their backs.The fmdings add weight and context to previous looks at why more women don"t go into or don"t stay in STEM fields.The previous studies tend
to explain that women aren"t "naturally" smart enough, and that these are careers for men.Furthermore, Fouad makes recommendations to create a good work environment.The problem should be recognized that women aren"t leaving just because they want to spend time with their children.They"re leaving because of the difficult workplace climate and lack of opportunity to advance.The company, starting from the managers, is supposed to invest in professional training which is beneficial to the women"s development and advance.
It is commonly believed that STEM workers__________. 查看材料
A.receive less salary compared with their skills
B.are helpful to promote economic development
C.are more than in demand
D.resolve driving problems

Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a good-bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.
Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home--the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind this form. of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. "It's typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people's pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty."
When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle ______.
A.could not forgive him for taking the children
B.had been expecting it to happen for some time
C.could not understand why
D.blamed herself for what had happened

听力原文: The Europeans who left their homeland in the 18th and 19th centuries and settled their homes in North America are referred to as early settlers. Early settlers who came from the eastern parts of the present U.S.A. were used to having many trees around, so they found it rather hard to get used to living in a treeless plain like the state of Nebraska. When they first settled down in Nebraska, they needed large quantities of wood for building houses, making fires and doing many other things. Therefore they started many tree-planting plans that went on for years and years. Finally in 1872, a newspaperman named J. Sterling Morton had an idea: Why not have a special day set aside for planting trees. So Arbor Day was born on April 10th, 1872. The state government announced that it would give prizes to individuals and groups that planted the most trees. On that first day, more than 1,000,000 trees were planted in Nebraska. In this way Nebraska has been full of trees and it's green all the year around.

A.Who the early settlers were.
B.When the first Arbor Day began.
C.How the first Arbor Day came into being.
D.Who was J. Sterling Morton.

听力原文: A friend gave George a parrot which had a big vocabulary, but most of the words the bird knew were bad words. At first George thought it was funny, but when George had important guests, the bird's bad words embarrassed him very much.
As soon as the guests left, George angrily shouted to the parrot, "That language must stop!" But the bird answered him with curses. He shook the bird and shouted again, "Don't use those ugly words!" Again the bird cursed him.
George was really angry. He took the parrot and threw him into the freezer. This time there was silence. After two minutes, George opened the door and removed the very cold parrot. Slowly the frightened parrot walked up George's arm, sat on his shoulder and spoke into his ear, "I'm sorry for my behavior. and will never behave badly again."

"It's 8:45 on a Sunday morning, " said the policeman, "and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure at such a time. Would you mind explaining?"
The man was obviously startled but kept calm immediately. He said, "I know what you're thinking, officer, but it isn't true. This is a very funny mistake. " "It's part of my job to take an interest in unusual events. I think you've just left this house in a manner other than the customary one. That may be quite innocent, but I'd like to make' sure. " James took out his notebook and a pen. "Name, address and occupation and then, please, tell me what happened. "
"Charlie Lewis, lorry driver, from Nottingham, 52 Brecon Street. My story. . . " "Yes. What were you doing like a fly on that wall, Mr. Lewis?" "Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. Bed and breakfast. The landlady's name is Mrs. Crane. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the right way and down at the lorry by half past. It was only when I felt around for a cigarette I found I'd left $ 90 in my pay envelope under the pillow here at Number 25. I always put it under my pillow at night. It's a habit I've got in to. I even do it at home. . . "
"I see. Why didn't you miss it when you went to pay Mrs. . . What's her name?" "I'd paid her last night. You've got to pay when you take the room, right? So I came rushing back, but it's Sunday, and she'd gone back to bed, and could I wake her? I rang the hell and banged on the front door for several minutes before I came round here to the back spotting, my bedroom window still open. Up I went, then, up this pipe. It's a trick I learnt in the army. She hadn't made the bed, and the money was still there. You know the rest, and I hope you believe it because
"Mr. Lewis, Whatever are you doing here? I thought you'd gone one hour and a half ago. " It was Mrs. Crane, speaking from the kitchen window at the comer of the house.

However that may be,our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it.There was food,drink,bedding and camping equipment,of which he made good use.There must also have been television sets and radios.Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities,when the shop re-opened.he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him.He seems to have been a man of good humour and philosophic temperament—as indeed vagrants very commonly are.Everyone else was enjoying Christmas,so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same.He submitted,cheerfully enough,to being taken away by the police.Perhaps he had a better Christmas than usual.He was put into prison for seven days.The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed.They had,in his opinion,already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television.Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas too.
The tramp was locked in the store ______.
A.for his own mistakes
B.due to a misunderstanding
C.by accident
D.through an error of judgment
