听力原文： The wage gap is a statistical indicator often used as an index of the status of women's earnings relative to men's. It is also used to compare the earnings of other races and ethnicities to those of white males, a group generally not subject to race—or sex—based discrimination. The wage gap is expressed as a percentage(e.g., in 2003, women earned 76% as much as men) and is calculated by dividing the median annual earnings for women by the median annum earnings for men.
The Equal Pay Act was signed in 1963, making it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to men and women who hold the same job and do the same work. At the time of the EPA's passage, women earned just 58 cents for every dollar earned by men. By 2003, 40 years later, that rate had only increased to 76 cents, an improvement of less than half a penny a year. Minority women fare the worst. African-American women earn just 65 cents to every dollar earned by white men, and for Hispanic women that figure drops to merely 54 cents per dollar.
If working women earned the same as men(those who work the same number of hours; have the same education, age, and union status; and live in the same region of the country), their annual family incomes would rise by $4,000 and poverty rates would be cut in half.

First of all, people spend less time working now than they used to, mostly due to the introduction of new industrial technology. The normal British working week is Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., although some people regularly work a few hours' overtime each week. Secondly, all working people get a minimum of two weeks' paid holiday a year. In addition, there are six or more bank holidays a year when all banks and businesses are closed. In some cases the dates of these national holidays change from year to year and in different parts of Britain.
Another reason is that, thanks to modern medicine and higher living standards, people live longer now. This means that after retirement, people have quite a few years of leisure left. Nowadays a much higher proportion of the population is over sixty, but in this group there are more women than men.
Finally, fewer babies are born each year and the average family in Britain has two children. This is one result of changing social attitudes. For example, many more married women now go out to work. The money they earn influences their leisure time. Even married women who do not go out to work have more time for interesting hobbies because most British homes have washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other labor-saving gadgets.
The best title of this passage can be ____.
A. Time for relax
B. Time for refreshment
C. British working hour
D. British family
“A paid holiday” (in Para. 2) means working people ____.
A. have to pay for their holiday

Among the old people, there are ____.
A. as many men as women

A. work with a good pay
B. a lot of time
C. washing-machines and vacuum cleaners

Questions are based on the following passage．
Today， the poor aren "t just more likely to get divorced. They"re more likely to avoidmarriage entirely.
Earlier today， my colleague Derek Thompson argued that; it"s misleading to thinkof marriage as a "luxury good". Why？ Because luxury goods are something the rich buyand the poor can"t afford. But in the case of marriage the trend is more complex. The vastmajority of Americans tie the knot at some point in their lives， he argues. It"s just thatthose without a college education are far， far more likely to get divorced. Marriage is foreveryone; failed marriages are for the poor.
Bleak stuff. But it"s getting bleaker.
Derek"s post is based on a long-term study of young Baby Boomers， who were atleast 46 years old by 2010. But among younger Americans， marriage really is lookingmore and more like something you"d have to buy at Tiffany"s. According to 2012 CensusBureau report， which shows the percentage of men who have never married by age andincome， the less a guy earns nowadays， the less likely they are to have ever gotten married.
Well， that"s not 100 percent true. Among twenty-somethings there seems to be arich bachelor effect going on （or an overworked young professional effect， if you prefer）.
Those making $75，000 or more are somewhat less likely to have been married than thosemaking between $40，000 and $75，000.
This particular set of Census data unfortunately tells us much less about women andmarriage. The problem: Stay-at-home morns.
The key to remember， though， is that many educated， high-earuing women， the sortswho are likely to meet and marry educated and high-earning men， leave the workforce orgo part time once they have children. So a publicist who once made over $70，000 a yearmight only earn $20，000 if she decided to work fewer hours while caring for her childrenat home.
Here"s why this trend——not just the move towards divorce like Derek talked about，but the move from nuptials （婚礼 ） entirely——is so gloomy. Getting married， and stayingmarried， is one of the surest ways of securing a middle class life. By choosing not to wedin the first place， the poor are abandoning that chance at stability.
Why doesn‘t Derek Thompson think that marriage is a luxury good？ 查看材料
A.Because not everyone will get married eventually.
B.Because only rich people can afford to get married.
C.Because most people will get married regardless of their financial state.
D.Because lots of people can"t afford an expensive nuptial.

听力原文：W: Hi, John.
M: Hi, Jenny.
W: One of the issues today is the digital divide. What does it mean？
M: It refers to the divide between who is online and who isn't.
W: What's the nature of the breakdown？ Who are they saying is online and who isn't？
M: They are looking at three principal portions of the American population with regard to the ethnic gap, the income gap and also different age groups.
W: What do they discover？
M: They find that today 30% of African Americans, 33% of Hispanic Americans, and 47% of White Americans, are online, but the largest portion of the American population are Asian Americans with 65% online.
W: Do they offer any explanations about why this might be？
M: Well, one reason of course is income. The low income population's use of the Internet is less, For example, for those who earn ＄75000 annually, over 70% have computers lined to the Internet.
W: Well, computers are still a fairly pricey item, although prices are coming down.
M: But they're predicting that within five years double the amount of people will be using them.
W: Going back, to this digital divide, do men and women use the Internet equally？ Is there a gender divide？
M: No. Not only is there not a gender divide but the prediction is this year more women will be online than men.
W: Really？
M: But the difference here is the sites they visit. Men are interested in financial and technology sites. Women tend to prefer sites dealing with more personal matters. For instance, they want to find out about women's health. So while both men and women are online, there is a difference in what they go online for.
W: Yeah. Interesting. What did the study say about the future growth？
M: Well, they're forecasting that three quarters of the country will be online within five years.
W: That's fast, isn't it？
M: Sure. We'd better get involved.
W: Right.
What is the main idea of the dialogue？
A．Income is the main factor that determines who are online and who are not.
B．The digital divide is determined by factors such as income, race and age.
C．More and more people in the United States will go online in the near future.
