The men and women of Anglo-Saxon England normally bore one name only. Distinguishing epithets were rarely added. These might be patronymic, descriptive or occupational. They were, however, hardly surnames. Heritable names gradually became general in the three centuries following the Norman Conquest in 1066. It was not until the 13th and 14th centuries that surnames became fixed, although for many years after that, the degree of stability in family names varied considerably in different parts of the country.

In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesn't need help getting in and out of cars. "Women get in and out of cars twenty times a day with babies and dogs. Surely they can get out by themselves at night just as easily." She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewalk. "Historically, the man walked on the inside so he caught the garbage thrown out of a window. Today a man is supposed to walk on the outside. A man should walk where he wants to. So should a woman. If, out of love and respect, he actually wants to take the blows, he should walk on the inside--- because that's where attackers are all hiding these days." As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women's liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies. It is usually easier to follow rules of social behaviour than to depend on one's own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and woman are led to their table in a restaurant and the waiter pulls out a chair, the woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way, according to my wife. It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in. I had the best view of the boats. "Well," my wife said, when the hostess had gone, "you did it again." "Did what？" I asked, utterly confused. "Took the chair." Actually, since I'd walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first, after all. Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first, and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car and then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat. It can be concluded from the passage that ______. A．men should walk on the inside of a sidewalk B．women are becoming more capable than before C．in women's liberation men are also liberated D．it's safe to break rules of social behaviour

For most women, the language of conversations is【B6】a language of rapport: a way of establishing connections and【B7】relationships. Emphasis is【B8】on displaying similarities and【B9】experiences. From childhood, girls criticize peers who try to stand【B10】or appear better than others. People feel their closest connections at home, or in setting where they feel at home—with one or a few people they feel close【B11】and comfortable about—in other words, during private speaking.【B12】even the most public situations can be approached like private speaking. For most men, talk is primarily a means to【B13】independence and negotiate and【B14】status in a hierarchical social order. This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill, and by【B15】center stage through verbal performance such as storytelling, joking, or【B16】information. From childhood; men learn to use talking as a way to get and keep【B17】. So they are more【B18】speaking in larger groups made up of people they know less well, in the broadest【B19】"public speaking". But even the most private situations can be approached like public speaking, more like giving a report than【B20】rapport. 【B1】 A．Compromised B．consolidated C．reinforced D．reconciled

It is unclear what is behind the phenomenon but it may be that beauty creates confidence. The self-confident may appear to be doing better than they are and will not hesitate about asking for a pay rise. Researcher Jason Fletcher, of Yale University in the U.S., rated the attractiveness of the 4,000 men and women. Just over half were judged average, while 7 percent were felt to be very attractive and 8 percent were judged unattractive or very unattractive. The volunteers also sat an IQ test and reported their salary. It became clear that pay scales were far from fair. For instance, a 14- point increase on the IQ score was associated with a 3 to 6 percent increase in wage. But being of above-average looks increased pay by 5 to 10 percent . For a plain person to be paid the same as a very attractive one , they would have to be 40 percent brighter, the journal Economics Letters reports. Dr Fletcher said:“The results do show that people ’s looks have an impact on their wages and it can be very important.” 6.What is the “plainness penalty ”？ A.To be paid less for being ordinarily-looking B.To be laughed at for being ordinarily-looking C.To be fired for being ordinarily-looking D.To be questioned for being ordinarily-looking How many people were rated as very attractive in Jason Fletcher ’s study？A.About 280 B.About 4,000 C.About 2,000 D.About 320 What ’s the average annual salary of a good-looking person？A.￡2,500 B.￡25,000 C.￡22,500 D.￡27,500 Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage ？A.IQ is less important than appearance B.Confidence makes people prettier C.Good looks earn an extra penny D.How Plain Janes get a higher salary Good-looking people are usually paid more probably because________ .A.they look smarter B.they have higher degrees C.they are better at pleasing others D.they are more confident
