There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men.

Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth went a sentence that would 59 become my reply to any and all of these: I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to 60 with gender issues.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
A. Choose the best answer.
Real policemen hardly recognize any similarity between their lives and what they see on TV—if they ever get home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops don’t think much of them.
The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolves round the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in casual chatting with passers-by or in dramatic confrontations with desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty — or not — of stupid, small crimes.
Most television crime dramas is about finding the criminal: as soon as he’s arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks — where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police — little effort is spent on searching.
Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence. So, as well as being overworked, a detective has to be out at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witnesses and persuade them usually against their own best interests, to help him.
85. The first sentence implies that .
A. the life of the real policemen and that of the policemen on TV are totally different
B. the real policemen will find the similarities if they can get home in time
C. the policemen shown on TV can always get home in time
D. the real policemen seldom can get home in time to watch TV
86. It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law .
A. so that he can catch criminals in the streets
B. because many of the criminals he has to catch are dangerous
C. so that he can justify his arrests in court
D. because he has to be as professional as a lawyer
87. The everyday life of a policeman or detective is .
A. exciting and glamorous B. full of danger
C. devoted mostly to routine matters D. wasted on unimportant matters
88. When murders and terrorist attacks occur, the police .
A. prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away
B. make great efforts to try to track down their man
C. try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up their reputation
D. usually fail to produce results
89. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Policemen and Detective B. Policemen’s Life - Fun and Fantasy
C. Drama and Reality D. The Real Life of a Policeman
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.
In families with two working parents, fathers may have more impact on a child’s language development than mothers, a new study 90 .
Researchers selected 92 families from 11 child care centers before their children were a year old, interviewing each to establish income, level of education and child care arrangements. 91 , it was a group of well-educated middle-class families, with married parents both living in the home.
When the children were 2, researchers videotaped them at home in free-play sessions with both parents, recording all of their 92 . The study will appear in the November issue of The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology.
The scientists 93 the total number of expressions of the parents, the number of different words they used, the complexity of their sentences and other aspects of their speech. On average, fathers spoke less than mothers did, but they did not 94 in the length of expressions or proportion of questions asked.
Finally, the researchers analyzed the children’s speech at age 3, using a standardized language test. The only predictors of high scores on the test were the mother’s level of education, the 95 of child care and the number of different words the father used.
The researchers are 96 why the father’s speech, and not the mother’s, had an effect. “It’s well
established that the mother’s language does have an impact,” said Nadya Pancsolar, the lead author of the
study“.
It 97 be that the high-functioning mothers in the study had already had a strong influence on
their children’s speech development, or it may be that mothers are contributing in a way we didn’t measure in the study.”

91. A. Moreover B. Overall C. In all D. luckily
92. A. speech B. action C. expression D. response

Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually（随便地）glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling h 98 .
Who would watch you without your permission It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen.
Psychologists tell us boundaries（边界）are healthy, that it’s important to reveal （暴露）yourself to
friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few of them r 99 today. The digital bread crumbs（面包屑）you leave everywhere make it easy for s 100 to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world w 101 you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is: Does that m 102 For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no." When asked about privacy, most Americans say they are concerned about l 103 it. A survey found an overwhelming worry about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."
But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change behaviors in an
effort to p 104
their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths （ 收 费 站 ） to
a 105 using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few refuse supermarket loyalty cards.
