听力原文: Hello, I was once a hostess. Now I am on my lust bus trip and I'm quite surprised at the services offered during the trip. The services they offered includes meals on the way, rest rooms and public address announcements. The bus hostess is a beautiful and kind girl. I introduced myself to her, and we told each other about experience on air and ground travel.
At lunch time, she gave out menus offering a choice of sandwiches. As she started filling orders, she found that there weren't enough egg salad sandwiches. She quickly went to whisper to the driver. The bus soon stopped. The hostess ran to another bus that was all the time following ours and she soon returned with a box of egg salad sandwiches. As she passed my seat, she asked," Could you do that on a plane? ....No, we couldn't. "I answered. I also told her that I was very satisfied with the service on the bus.
I always think the service on a plane is better than any other services on train or bus, but the experience made me know that it's not the case. Whether the service is good or not depends on the attitude of the hostess.
According to this passage, what kind of vehicle did the speaker always ride in the past?
A.By bus.
B.By air.
C.By train.

Really Equal Partnership
Rodney Mace, 36, is married with two young children, and is a part time teacher of architectural history, "I am constantly surprised by other people's, when they come to the house and see me cleaning a floor or hanging out the washing. Their eyes open wide at the sight of it! Much of the comment comes from men. But I am even more surprised at the number of women who comment too."
His wife Jane, an Oxford graduate in modern languages, has a demanding full-time job. She is director of the Cambridge House literacy scheme for adults in South London. Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, and at these times her husband is in sole charge of home and family. Apart from this, they share household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons. This enables him to teach two days a week and to do what he considers his principal work: writing. He has written several books and spends much of his time in the British Museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home in Brixton.
People ask the Maces if they think their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to reserve time and energy to play with their children. "And they have now developed relationships with other adults and children."
Previously, Rodney Mace worked full-time and Jane only part-time. Then 18 months ago, the director of the literacy scheme left. "It seems to me that Jane was very well suited to do this job. She was very doubtful about it. But I urged her to apply. She did, and she got it." Jane Mace confirms that she needed this encouragement, as so many women initially do.
Did his male ego(自我,自己) suffer from the change-over? Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it hanged his thinking. "I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous relief, I wasn't avoiding responsibility, but changing it. Our relationship is so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of us—think for all of us, in every aspect of our lives. I cannot overemphasize that: in every aspect, I thing it is fundamental tat the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is an illusion if one partner doesn't work."
The article is about a couple whose married life is happier because ______.
A.they have a truly equal partnership
B.the husband enjoys staying at home
C.they earn more money
D.the wife has a full-time job
