fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.‖ 9.

As nanny（保姆），cook，cleaner，shopper，driver，and gardener，she has one of the most demanding jobs in Britain today．And paying someone else to do the chores（家务活） which take the average housewife 71 hours a week would cost ￡349．
At over￡18,000 a year that’s more than the earnings of 70 percent of the population，including train drivers，firemen，prison officers，and social worker．Looking after a baby less than a year old takes a housewife into a even higher pay league．According to a study，she earns ￡457 a week – at nearly ￡24,000 a year，the same as teachers，engineers，and chemists．
Researchers put a price on each chore，then tried to find out how long the average person takes doing them．They found housewives spend an average 70．7 hours a week on housework – with looking after the children （17．9 hours） and cooking and cleaning （12．3 hours each） the most time-consuming（费时）． A wife with a part-time job still works and average of 59 hours a week at home．Those in full-time employment put in longer hours at home than in the workplace．The good news is that these hours sharply decrease as children get older．While the average mother with child under one puts in 90 hours weekly，the figure drops to 80 hours from one to four and to 66 hours from five to ten．
Mother-of-four Karen Williams from London said，―Paying the housewives may not be practical，but the government should recognize the value of housework，perhaps through the tax．Running a house takes a lot of time and most husbands don’t understand this．For example，my husband only puts a shelf up now and again．He never cleans the kitchen – that’s the real test．‖

Unit2 Robots单元测试参考答案
语法填空
文章是一篇记叙文，描述了Mary班上转来的一名新同学刚来班里时的情形以及同学们对他的印象。
1. wearing 他戴着太阳镜出现在班里。逗号前出现谓语动词appeared 因此wear为非谓语，he与wear是主动，因此选择V-ing。
2. had bought 在主格人称代词he后，显然是作谓语；又因他不是真的买下了这个学校，故应用虚拟 语气，与过去事实相反，故填had bought。
3. pleased 在系动词felt后作表语，表示女孩很开心的可以有个新同学坐在自己旁边。那么多位置他不选，却偏偏坐在自己身边，虽然后来发现原来是因为自己坐在最后一排而有点失望。 4. the 特指最后的那一排，或在序数词前，用定冠词。
5.If 是以第三人称的方式描述，小女孩并不知道新来同学的真实想法。如果他认为坐在最后一排就可以逃避视线，那么他就错了。
6. harder 对其他同学来说，要看到坐在后排的新同学他们不得不转过身来，这样来说难了一点。作宾补依然是要用形容词，所以不作词类转换，可考虑比较级；句中a little修饰比较级harder，表示―更难一点‖。
7. which 当其他同学转过来看新同学的时候就会看到Mary，这让Mary感到自己像明星。引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子。
8. for 老师对新来的同学说，如果你不戴太阳镜，我会更欣赏你，我和你说话的时候喜欢看着你的眼睛。说完以后男孩看了老师几秒，其他同学在想接下来这个男孩会做什么呢？表示某个动词或状态延续了多久，用―for +时间段‖。
9. what 同上，引导宾语从句并在从句中作do的宾语，故用连接代词。
10. them 男孩脱掉了太阳镜，脸上露出了大微笑。代替前面的those glasses，作took off的宾语，用人称代词的宾格，前文提到didn’t wear them，可知，不用it 用them。
完形填空
文章作者讲述了一次自己在一家餐馆做服务员的经历。作者由期间经历的一件事情感悟到：要时刻小心仔细，不应该太相信自己。 1. D
【试题解析】前文说在饭店找到一份工作，后文出现了carry the heavy trays(托盘)，可以可知―我‖是在和有经验的服务员一起干。 2. C
【试题解析】该句前面提到跟随一位有经验的服务员干了几天，所以就允许自己独自为顾客服务了。其它几个动词不符合语境意思。 3. A
【试题解析】从下文来看，周日那几天All went well that first week.―一切都很顺利。‖只是在周末出了一点小状况。
