Women held 49.83% of the nations 132 million jobs in June and theyre gaining the vast majority of jobs in the few sectors of the economy that are growing, according to the most recent numbers available from the Bureau of Labour Statistics.
Thats a record high for a measure thats been growing steadily for decades and accelerating during the recession. At the current pace, women will become a majority of workers in October or November.
"It was a long historical slog(沉重缓慢的前进)to get to this point," says labour economist Heidi Hartmann, president of the Institute for Womens Policy Research.
The change reflects the growing importance of women as wage earners, but it doesnt show full equality, Hartmann says. On average, women work fewer hours than men, hold more part-time jobs and earn 77% of what men make, she says. Men also still dominate higher-paying executive ranks.
Women have been a growing share of the once heavily male labour force for nearly a century, recording big bumps during epochal(划时代的)events such as the Depression and World War II. This time, the boost came from a severe recession that has been brutal(无情的)on male-dominated professions such as construction and manufacturing.
The only parts of the economy still growing — health care, education and government — have traditionally hired mostly women. That dominance has increased in part because federal stimulus funding directed money to education, health care and state and local governments.
The gender transformation is especially remarkable in local governments 14.6 million-person workforce. Cities, schools, water authorities and other local legal power have cut 86,000 men from payrolls during the recession — while adding 167,000 women, according to the Bureau of Labour Statistics.
"Unemployment among men isnt going to last forever," says University of Chicago economist Casey Mulligan. "People will move from construction and manufacturing to industries that are creating new jobs." Mulligan expects the portion of jobs held by women to peak slightly above 50% this year, then drop below half when the economy recovers and more men find work.
What does the author say about the workforce during this recession？
A．Men make up the most profitable sectors.
B．Women gain jobs while men lose jobs.
C．Women take the most jobs in the economy.
D．Women outnumber men in few sectors.

Today the focus has shifted from the workplace to secondary and higher education institutions, and from employers to government provision and finance. Trainees in most occupations combine workplace training with study at a technical or academic institution.
In the former Soviet Union, school and work were always strongly linked from primary school. Germany provides nine out of ten young people not entering higher education with vocational training, and training is planned from national down to local level through tripartite committees of government representatives, employers, and trade unions. In some countries, skills are being grouped and "job families" created so that individuals can move between jobs with similar technical requirements. In others "competency-based education" is advocated to equip individuals with "transferable" as well as specific skills.
In developing countries, where it is traditional for children to work from an early age, only a tiny proportion of students follow a formal vocational program, while the long specialist training of professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and engineers is a costly burden. Training places for technicians, nurses, teachers, and other essential workers are often limited.
Worldwide, there is a slow but steady increase in the numbers of women training for occupations of influence in science, technology, law, and business. It is also becoming clear that one course of vocational education is not enough for a lifetime. Retraining through continuing education is essential.
23. What is decreasing in industrialized countries？
24.What is the major change in vocational education？
25.According to the passage, which of the following is true？
26.Which of the following is true about developing countries？
(43)
A．The demand for unskilled workers.
B．The demand for professional jobs.
C．The demand for technical workers.
D．The demand for administrative people.

Representatives of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association argued that the Federal Aviation Administration has not adequately prepared for the wave of retirements expected to hit the industry in coming years.
Nearly half of the nation's controllers—about 7,100—may retire during the next nine years, according to a U. S. Department of Transportation report. That's more than three times the number of controllers who have left in the past eight years.
"If the FAA does not hire large numbers of controllers immediately, there will be a necessary, significant increase in delays and, unfortunately, maybe even a reduction in the margin of safety," said Mark Sherry, alternate Western Pacific regional vice president of the Air Traffic Controllers Association.
Sherry, a controller at San Francisco International Airport, joined other local union representatives at a news conference in Fremont—part of a nationwide NATCA public awareness drive leading up to a U. S. Senate Appropriations Committee vote next month on FAA funding.
The association and a bipartisan group of senators is calling on the committee to authorize $14 million for the FAA to begin hiring, saying 1,000 new controllers a year are needed to help stem the expected flood of retirees—those hired after 12,000 striking workers were fired by former President Reagan in 1981.
But FAA officials say only about one-quarter of controllers traditionally retire when they first become eligible, and there won't be a mass exodus of controllers at any one time.
FAA spokesman Donn Walker said the agency expects to see a large number of retirements when eligibility peaks in 2007, but denied there is a crisis. The agency will be ready to deal with the issue, he said.
"There is no staffing crisis, and there is no shortage of air traffic controllers," he said.
FAA Administrator Marion Blakey said in June that the agency would present Congress with a plan by December to deal with the expected retirements, and Walker flatly denied NATCA' s gloomy predictions.
"They (NATCA representatives) have a crystal ball, I guess, that I don't have. They're making all these sort of wild predictions that don't have any basis in fact... We have the world's safest aviation system, and we will continue to have the world's safest aviation system. We will not do anything to jeopardize safety, despite what some people may tell you. "
However, Jeff Tilley, president of the NATCA local at the Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center in Fremont, said the center already is facing a staffing crunch.
"At Oakland Center, we do not have a looming staffing crisis—we are in the middle of one," Tilley said. "We have already had days when we have been forced to curtail services and limit the efficiency of airline operations due to staffing shortages. "
The center, which is responsible for 18.8 million square miles of airspace, has 191 fully trained controllers and 57 trainees—20 short of the 268 it is authorized to have, Tilley said. Twenty-nine of the controllers are eligible for retirement and could leave at any time, and 25 more are scheduled to transfer.
In the past eight years, about ______ controllers have retired.
A．14,200
B．7,100
C．3,550
D．2,300

请根据短文内容，回答题。
Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee？
When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they&39;re usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it good for your heart？ Does it increase blood pressure？ Does it help you concentrate？ However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.＜br＞
Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy (树冠) of taller indigenous (土生土长的) trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren&39;t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.＜br＞
Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local wildlife habitat.＜br＞
Native birds nest and hide from predators (捕食者) in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.＜br＞
Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.＜br＞
Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shade grown" and "bird friendly". Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we&39;re paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it&39;s worth it.
What is the main idea of this passage？ 查看材料
A.Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee
B.Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce
C.Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee
D.People should buy shade-grown coffee
第10题
M：Well，with the increased globalization of the economy and interaction of different cultures，the future of any organization depends on whether the employees can accept the differences and learn from each other．But we do have our‘secret weapon’．
F：Interesting!What is it then？
M：Our secret weapon is‘glocalization’．
F：‘GIobalization’you mean？
M：No，GLOCALIZATIONO The conflict between globalization and localization has led to the invention of this concept‘glocalization’．You know，companies that want to be successful in foreign markets have to be aware of the local cultural characteristics that affect the way business is done．
F：I see．So could you give us some examples about those local cultural characteristics？
M：Sure．Take Latin and Asian cultures for example．Their status is not based on analysis or systems，but is automatically accorded to the boss，who is more likely to be in his fifties or sixties than in his thirties．This is particularly true in Japan，where companies traditionally have a policy of promotion by seniority．A 50-year-old Japanese manager，or a Greek or Italian one，would quite simply be offended by having to report to an aggressive，well-educated，but inexperienced American or German 20 years his junior．
F：OK，What about the performance evaluation then？Would that be different as well？
M：Sure．I'll use the salespeople to illustrate the difference．In countries like USA or Britain，the principle of pay-for-performance often successfully motivates them．The more you sell．the more you get paid．But the principle might well be resisted in countries where rewards and promotion are expected to come with age and experience．There was an example of a sales rep in an Italian subsidiary of a US multinational company who was given a huge quarterly bonus under a new policy imposed by head office．His sales—which had been high for years—declined dramatically during the following three months．It was later discovered that he was deliberately trying not to sell more than any of his colleagues，so as not to reveal their inadequacies．He was also desperate not to earn more than his boss，which he thought would be an unthinkable humiliation that would force the boss to resign immediately．
F：What about the differences in management structures？
M：Yes，I was just about to come to that．Another example of an American idea that doesn't work well in Latin countries is matrix management．The task-oriented logic of matrix management conflicts with the principle of loyalty to the all-important line supewisor，you know，the functional boss．And without the awareness and understanding of the other culture，each would think of the other as being ‘corrupt’。
F：So how do we tackle these misunderstandings？Are there any strategies to be applied？
M：OK．Experience and knowledge will surely help us accommodate to another culture，but some key strategies may quicken the process．To begin with，the understanding and acceptance of differences；and that is followed by developing culture sensitivity and shared decision-making．Then organizational resources should be distributed equally．And er…
F：Wow，that's already a whole lot of strategies．And there's more？
M：Yes．And er，yes，flexible institutional policies，practices，and procedures should be applied．
F：OK．So what kind of training programs or proposals would you offer your company，you know，to get all these ideas to really sink in？
M：well，there are many different types of cross-cultural training to make sure that we can all get along in the work place，like conflict resolution；conducting cultur
A．recognizing the increasing impacts of globalization．
B．operating all over the world while taking account of local cultural diversities．
C．the conflict between globalization and localization．
