　　　　　　Since I have been in my new neighborhood, I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of my neighbors.

　　I 43 the friendly lady for last, since I was still not exactly sure where she lived. I44 decided upon a house down about where I met her each morning and felt relatively 45 that it was hers.
　　This morning I noticed a small 46 inside the mailbox. It was addressed simply — Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road. I opened the 47 and took out a Thank You card. The 48 said, “Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you 49 on the porch of Richard Kelly. It was very 50 . Richard Kelly passed away half a month ago. He never stopped 51 about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of 52 . He really appreciated it.”

第三部分：閱讀理解(共20小題；
每小題2分，滿分40分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
　　Today’s dad spends more hours on childcare than a dad a generation ago. But he still lags behind (落后于) the modern-day mom, even when her wages are equal, a new study reports. Researchers found that the number of hours a mother spent at work had no effect on the amount of time a father devoted to childcare during the week. Similarly, a mother’s income had very little influence on fathers’ involvement in childcare. On weekends, however, fathers spent more time with their children. Despite women’s increasing role in the labor market, most mothers remain the primary caregivers of young children on weekdays.
　　Researchers found that fathers spent an average of 2.5 hours on a weekday and about 6 hours on a weekend day with their children. This included time spent playing together or doing schoolwork, personal care such as bathing and feeding. On weekdays, children spent one-third less time with their fathers than with their mothers, but on weekends the time gap closed and kids spent only 13% more time with their mothers than with their fathers. Children of women who made more money spent more time with their fathers on weekends, however. “The good news is that as women become equal contributing partners, the relative involvement of fathers does increase,” one researcher said. “The bad news is … that men still do less on traditional women’s jobs — (taking care of) babies, dishes, etc.”
　　In other findings, fathers with some college education spent 17 more minutes per weekday with their children than dads without any college education. Fathers who made more money spent less time with children on weekdays, but the amount of time was fairly small. “Our findings suggest that although mothers still shoulder most parenting, fathers’ involvement relative to that of mothers appears to be on the increase,” the researchers conclude. “A ‘new father’ role is emerging on weekends in families.”
61．The underlined word “This” in the second paragraph refers to _________.
A．the study reported in the text
B．the role a father plays in childcare
C．time a father spends with his children on weekends
D．time a father spends with his children during the whole week
62．Which of the following explains a fathers’ increasing involvement in childcare?
A．Women’s liberation movement. B．The kind of job women do.
C．The kind of job fathers do. D．A mother’s income.
63．Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the text?
A．Fathers are more involved but mothers are still main caregivers.
B．Children need care from both parents in a family.
C．Education is the key to the improvement of women’s good health and happiness.
D．Women have become equal contributing partners of income in a family.
64．Which of the words below best describes the researchers’ attitude towards a “new father” role?
A．Surprised. B．Pleased. C．Disappointed. D．Dissatisfied.

One possible version:
Falling on the first day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar, the Spring Festival is in fact the Chinese New Year. Before it, people usually give their house a thorough cleaning and do a lot of shopping. On the New Year’s Eve, people come home and the whole family have a big dinner together. On the New Year’s Day and the few days to follow, people often visit their relatives and friends to give one another their best wishes for the new year. Throughout this festival period firecrackers can be heard everywhere. This festival is the most important festival for the Chinese.
