go back to it , but the shifts(工作班次 )are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school. ” So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p. m. till 6 a. m. five nights a week for just 163。 90, before tax and insurance. “It‟s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work„unsocial hours‟should get a bit extra. ” The hours she‟s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty to the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn‟t think that puts any pressure on their relationship. Her work isn‟t physically very hard, but it‟s not exactly pleasant, either. “ I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful. ” The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all, Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three, “Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself－ and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags. ” Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write, ” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing , but I don’t think that way any more. I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it. ” 61． Margaret quit her job as a nurse because ． A． she wanted to earn more money to support her family B． she had suffered a lot of mental pressure C． she needed the right time to look after her children D． she felt tired of taking care of patients 62． Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because ． A． they never clean their offices B． they look down upon cleaners C． they never do their work carefully D． they always make a mess in their offices 63． When at work, Margaret feels ． A． lighthearted because of her fellow workers B． happy because the building is fully lit C． tired because of the heavy workload D． bored because time passes slowly 64． The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret’s parents would ． A． help care for her children B． regret what they had said C． show sympathy for her D． feel disappointed in her B Kathy started at my nursery school at the age of three. She settled into the group easily, and would be first on the slide and highest up the climbing frame. She could put on her coat without help and not only fasten her own buttons but other children’s too. She was a lovely child but unfortunately a scratcher. If anyone upset her or stood in her way, her right hand would flash out fast and scratch down the face of her playmates. Children twice her age would fly in fear from her. This must have been very rewarding for Kathy but obviously it had to be stopped. All the usual ways failed and then I remembered and account by G. Atkinson of Highfield School, of how fights in the playground had been stopped. No punishment had been given, but the attacker had been ignored and the victims rewarded. So I decided to try this out on Kathy. With a pocketful of Smarties I followed Kathy around. She was so quick that it was impossible to prevent her scratching, but I was determined to stay within arm’s length all afternoon. All was peaceful but then I saw Kathy’s hand moved and heard the scream. Gently I gathered up the little hurt one in my arms and said “Nice, nice sweetie” and I put a Smartie into her mouth. Kathy opened her mouth, expecting a Smartie and then looked puzzled when she got nothing. Soon came another scream, this time from John. While holding him in my arms, I said, “Look, Kathy, a nice Smartie for John” and put it into John’s mouth.

I have hurt my finger!” “No,” I replied, “you’ll get it if someone hurts you.” On purpose, she turned and scratched a nearby boy. Tom, and waited quietly while I mothered and rewarded him, then she walked away. She has never scratched a child since. Parents who find older children bullying younger brothers and sisters might do well to replace shouting and punishment by rewarding and more attention to the injured ones. It’s certainly much easier and more effective. 65． From the passage, we know that Kathy is ． A． sensitive but slow B． smart but a bit rude C． independent but selfish D． quick but sort of passive 66． Kathy scratched Tom because ． A． she was angry at Tom, who was in her way B． she wanted to get a Smartie from the teacher C． she was in the habit of scratching other children D． she wanted to know if the teacher meant what she had said 67． According to the passage, the underlined word “bullying” is closest in meaning to “ ”． A． helping B． punishing C． hurting D． protecting 68． The writer of this passage aims to remend and approach to ． A． rewarding children’s good behavior B． correcting children’s bad behavi。
