A recent survey by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) found that about a third of nurses in UK planned to give up their jobs in the next two years because of the amount of worries and unhappiness with their pay.
Among those under 40, the percentage of nurses planning to leave their employers increased from 32% in 2005 to 36% in 2007.
The survey also found that 71% of nurses believed they could be paid more for less effort if they left nursing, compared to 60% in 1997.
The research was published as the RCN hosted a meeting for nurse leaders to deal with the growing concerns of the nurses.
Josie Irwin, an RCN expert, said, “ Many nurses say that changes in junior doctors’ hours have resulted in an increase in their workload. Nurses are under more and more pressure.”
Ms Irwin added, “Only 22% of all nurses disagree that they are under too much pressure.”
She also said that 27% of nurses had a second job, with the main reason that they needed some extra income.
“Nurses have made it clear that while they enjoy their work, they have more to do than ever and are not being paid enough to do it.” She added. “ For this reason, the RCN is calling for a pay increase for nurses to bring their pay into line with others.”
The survey of 4,795 nurses found that some important changes to the profession had taken place in recent years. The average age of the nurses questioned was 42 ---compared to an average of 33 in 1987. The RCN said that the age increase was because people were now becoming nurses later. In the 1960s, the average age of a nurse on the completion of training was 21, but over the last 5 years it has been an average of 29.

It’s not all kangaroos down there
People just naturally associate kangaroo, koala and fine beaches with Australia. Yes, you can find many fine sand beaches, white or brown, to enjoy the sunshine and seaside breeze. However, in Queensland, the eastern state of Australia, a night beach tour at this time of the year may bring you a more exciting sight of the miracle of life: You can watch hatching baby turtles making their first steps in a natural environment.
On Mon Repos beach, about 14 kilometres east of city of Bundaberg in Queensland, Australia, lies Mon Repos Conservation Park.
By day, Mon Repos beach is a sweeping bay of brown sand, a quiet spot for people to sunbathe, surf and fish.
By night, it’s home to the largest concentration of endangered marine turtles on the eastern Australian mainland. And the miracle of egg laying and hatching happens from around mid-October to the end of April every year.
In order not to disturb the turtles, tourists have to follow the instruction of the guides.
But this may make the tour more like an adventure: Tourist are usually told to huddle (蜷缩) close together, hold hands and walk close to the shoreline in the dark.
At the start of the season (October and November), tourists can view turtle laying their eggs. Turtles first use all four flippers (鳍状肢) to dig a body pit (坑) in the sand and then lay eggs in it. It’s not uncommon for a turtle to lay more than 100 eggs at a time. And her mission isn’t done until she uses her flippers to flick sand and cover the nest.
If you go there at the end of the season (March to April), you can see groups of hatchings walk down to the water. It is an astonishing sight as the small creatures，barely two minutes old, race instinctively to the sea,
If they survive, the same hatchings will return in 50 years’ time to lay eggs on the very beach where they first emerged(出现).
60. The first paragraph is intended to ________.
A. recommend the readers to have a holiday in Australia
B. give the readers an idea of the different sceneries of Australia
C. show that Australia has a variety of animals.
D. draw the readers’ attention to the topic of this article.
61. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. turtle can usually lay 100 eggs at a time.
B. It’s quite dangerous for the tourist to watch the turtles at night by the seashore.
C. Turtles usually lay eggs when they are 50 years of age.
D. If you go to the beach in October, you can see turtles lay eggs.
62. The underlined word in the passage probably refers to ______.
A. the process of hatching
B. the mother turtles
C. the end of hatching
D. newly-born turtles
63. Which of the following shows the correct relationship of the three places? (M=Mon Repos Conservation Park; Q=Queensland; B=Bundaberg)

When you choose a freezer, remember it’s probably going to be with you for a long time. So it’s important to know which freezer is right for your needs.
First, decide if you want an upright or chest model. Uprights are more convenient. Their storage space is more accessible and they take up less floor area. However, chest models are more energy-efficient because less cold air escapes when they are open.
If you are buying an upright, you’ll have to choose between frostless(无霜) or manual （手动的）defrost(解冻). Chest freezers are always manual. Frostless freezers automatically defrost at present intervals（每隔一段时间） and remove the water. Manual models must be defrosted by hand every few months or whenever frost pile up to about a quarter of an inch.
To help your freezer reach a ripe old age, try to find a spot that’s cool, dry, and away from drafts(精棉). Drafts and heat will raise the freezer’s cabinet temperature, which makes it work harder to keep cool. That means wasted energy. That means wasted energy and a shortened life.
Dry air is important because high humidity (湿气) can cause the freezer to rust outside and frost up inside. With proper care, a freezer can serve you for 15 years or more. Regular cleaning and simple maintenance will help it maintain a zero-degree temperature and keep it smelling fresh and looking almost new.
Frostless models requires less care than manual defrost freezers. The inside of a frostless unit should be washed periodically with warm water and baking soda or a mild soap, rinse, and dried.
Good habits go a long way toward a freezer that runs efficiently. To get the most from your freezer, check regularly to make sure it’s providing a true zero-degree temperature.
Keep the freezer at least three-quarters full. The emptier it get, the more energy is wasted. If more than three pounds of food per cubic foot of storage space is added every 24 hours, the resulting high or low temperature can damage the food.
72. What can we learn from this passage?
A. It is more important to keep the freezer at the temperature of zero-degree.
B. It is an easy task to have your freezer serve you for 15 years.
C. You don’t have to worry about defrosting if you choose a chest freezer.
D. The opening of freezers has nothing to do with energy-saving.
73. According to the passage, choosing the best place for your freezer means_____.
A. putting it in an unheated garage if possible
B. locating it near a stove if it is a manual-defrosted model
C. trying to keep it away from heat, drafts, and humidity
D. locating it as close as possible to the kitchen door
74. In order to get the best results, you should______.
A. use cool water to wash the inside of frostless models
B. keep the freezer at least 75% full
C. add three pounds of food every 24 hours
D. put your freezer in a garage with a strong floor
75. Which statement best describes the main idea of the passage?
A. It tells the most economical ways to use a freezer.
B. It explains how to defrost a manual-defrosted freezer.
C. It introduces the advantages and disadvantages of two kinds of freezers/
D. It gives useful advice on how to choose and maintain a freezer.
