    　　“I would almost rather see you dead,” Robert S．Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist．In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not．And when the young lady's family ranked among the best of Philadelphia's social families, such an idea could not even be considered．That was how Mary Cassatt, born in 1844, began her struggle as an artist．She did not tremble before her father's anger．Instead, she opposed(抗拒)him with courage and at last made him change his mind．

    　　Mary Cassatt gave up her social position(社会地位)and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady．In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance(坚持), she became America's most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time．

    He did not believe his daughter wanted to work seriously in art．

    C．

    He believed an artist's life would be too hard for his daughter．

    D．

    Ladies of good families simply did not become artists in those times．

    (3)

    What made Mary Cassatt's“struggle”to become a recognized artist especially hard?

    [　　]

    A．

    She was a woman．

    B．

    Her father opposed her．

    C．

    She had no social position．

    D．

    She did not come from an artist's family．

    (4)

    What can we know from the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    She never married because she did not want to be just a wife and mother

    B．

    Robert Cassatt was a cruel man．

    C．

    She hated playing at drawing and painting．

    D．

    Career was generally considered the most important in the life of a woman in the U．S．in Mary Cassatt's times

         CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying
    along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied
    with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投诉) from consumers
    or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following
    table. This division is called Category. Problems that appear when the plane is flying are Flight problems.
    Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
    service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
    are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
    to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
    tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
    booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
    passengers think about advertisement on the plane. Credit problems are about the use of credit cards.
