27、The islands of Malta and Gozo are brilliant for a family holiday, packed with fun places to visit whatever your children’s ages. The islands’ small size means everywhere is within easy reach.

Sandy beaches and swimming spots

One of Malta’s best beaches for families is soft-sanded, sheltered Golden Bay. Older children can try activities such as stand-up paddle boarding, sailing or windsurfing, while the gentle slope of the beach makes it easy for younger kids to safely paddle in the sea.

Eating out

Children are welcome at most restaurants, though more upmarket places often only accept older kids. There are often kids’ menus that tend to offer pizza, but you can always ask for a half portion of a starter dish (portions are huge in Maltese restaurants). With a wide range of cuisines on offer, children are bound to find something they’ll like, Maltese food is strongly influenced by Italian cuisine, so there’s pizza and pasta galore, and some kids will love the national dish-fried rabbit

Accommodation

Try to schedule at least a few days on Gozo as there are lots of self-catering farmhouses with pools to rent and it’s even easier to get around than Malta. Smaller hotels in Valletta usually only accept older children.

Transport and other tips

The easiest way to get around Malta and Gozo is to drive, but the local bus service is reliable, easy to use, and fairly inexpensive. Buses are frequent between major towns, but only roughly hourly to and from smaller places. Ferries run between Malta and Gozo, and you can take tourist boats over to Comino.

28、   A new group of young women — members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的) generation — has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been — or than their young male counterparts (相当的人) are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success.

They believe that women are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it’s easier for men to get top jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers.

While the public see greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20~30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated (歧视) against at work because of their gender.

As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are less likely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they’re not interested in becoming a boss or top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs (协调) that go with work and motherhood.

These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennials (ages 18~32), conducted Oct. 7~27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational achievement and labor force participation in recent decades, young women view this as a man’s world — just as middle-aged and older women do.

【1】What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?

A.They can get ahead only by working harder.

B.They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.

C.They are better educated than their male counterparts.

D.They are generally quite optimistic about their future.

【2】How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?

A.They are the target of discrimination.

B.They find it satisfactory on the whole.

C.They find their complaints ignored.

D.They think it needs further improving.

【3】What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?

A.The fulfillment of their dreams in life.

B.The balance between work and family.

C.The narrowing of the gender gap.

D.The welfare of their children.

【4】What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?

A.They account for half the workforce in the job market.

B.They see the world differently from older generations.

C.They still view this world as one controlled by males.

D.They do better in work than their male counterparts.

29、Kay and Charles Giddens sold their home to start a bed and breakfast. Four years later, the couple now dishes out banana pancake breakfasts, cleans toilets, serves homemade cookies to guests in a bed and breakfast surrounded by trees on a mountain known for colorful sunsets.

“Do I miss the freeways? Do I miss the traffic? Do I miss the trees? No,” says Ms. Giddens. “This is a phenomenon that’s fairly widespread. A lot of people are rethinking their lives and

figuring out what they want to do.”

Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight activities to sharing housing, living closer to work and commuting(通勤) less, avoiding shopping malls, borrowing books from the library instead of buying them, and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job.

Vicki Robin, a writer, tells us how she deals with the changes in her budget, now far less than what she used to make.

“You become conscious of where your money is going and how valuable it is,”Ms. Robin says. “You tend not to use thing up. You cook at home rather than eat out. You find your life is not

a mess anymore, and you discover your living costs have gone way down.”

Janet Luhrs, a lawyer, quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a babysitter for two weeks.“It was not the way I wanted to raise my kids,”she says.“Simplicity is not just about saving money ; it’s about me sitting down every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music.”

Ms. Luhrs now edits a magazines called Simple Living, which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture  and  shoes, and organize potluck（家常便饭）dinners instead of fancy receptions.

“Simplicity is about conscious living and creating the life you want. The less stuff you buy, the less money goes out the door, and the less money you have to earn,” Ms. Luhrs explains.

【1】How does Ms. Giddens feel about the life she is living now?

A. Bored   B. Worried

C. Satisfied   D. Surprised
