From the second paragraph we know that the possible title is ______.
A.joining this government
B.blood, toil, sweat and tears
C.an ordeal of the most grievous kind
D.struggle and suffering
On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new administration...
I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolution:
"That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to victorious conclusion."
To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself. But we are in the preliminary phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at many other points--in Norway and in Holland--and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean. The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home.
In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or former colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act.
I say to the House as I said to the Ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.
You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.
You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs--victory in spite of all terrors--victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival...
I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.
I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "Come then, let us go forward together with united strength."
AIDS is the fifth leading cause of death among persons between ages 25 and 44 in the United States. About 47 million people worldwide have been infected with HI~ since the start of the epidemic.
AIDS stands for "Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome". It is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV). AIDS is the final and most serious stage of HIV disease, in which the signs and symptoms of severe immune deficiency have developed.
HIV has been found in saliva, tears, nervous system tissue, blood, semen, vaginal fluid, and breast milk. However, only blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk have been proven to transmit infection to others.
Transmission of the virus occurs through sexual contact, blood transfusions or needle sharing, and from mother to child. A pregnant woman can passively transmit the virus to her fetus, or a nursing mother can transmit it to her baby.
Other transmission methods are rare and include accidental needle injury, artificial insemination through donated semen, and through a donated organ.
HIV infection is not spread by casual contact such as hugging and touching, by touching dishes, doorknobs, or by mosquitoes. It is not transmitted to a person who donates Blood or organs. However, it can be transmitted to the person receiving blood or organs from an infected donor. This is why blood banks and organ donor programs screen donors' blood and tissues thoroughly.
How many people worldwide have been infected with HIV since the start of the epidemic?
A.47 million.
B.4 billion.
C.25 million.
D.44 million.
On the sociological side, men in particular are conditioned out of crying. From the age of 12 or 13, boys are told that crying shows a loss of control, that it is a sign of weakness. If men step outside the norm and show their feelings in the workplace, they run the risk of getting labels attached that are not complimentary.
Researches on conversations show that women are more likely to talk about feelings, men about activities. This is a reflection of our socialization. Also, men are more likely to express their opinions. It gives rise to women feeling enormous frustration about getting their views across. When women are crying at work, it's often out of sheer frustration, about not being able to get their needs identified, known, put across, and getting a response to them…There is a sense of "I'm not being taken seriously." The trouble is, if a woman cries in this situation, men are likely to say, "She's far too emotional." There are, though, a couple of arenas(活动场所) in which it seems to be acceptable for men to be emotional: sports and especially more recently, politics. An essay in Times magazine once reported on timely tears from former Presidents George Bush and Richard Nixon. The Times essay says 1988 presidential candidate Patricia Schroeder' s tears led some to describe her as "just another weak woman, temperamentally unfitted for the presidency". It concludes: "Men may weep, but women must prove them- selves made of sterner stuff."
The cause for women crying more often is that______。
A.women are born to be weaker than men
B.women have more prolactin in their bodies
C.men are taught not to cry
D.both B and C
第三篇
There seem to be two main reasons that women cry more often. One is biological. Up to age 12, boys and girls cry equally often. From then until age 18, the level of the hormone prolactin(催乳激素) rises in young women, until their blood contains 60 per-cent more than men' s. And prolactin affects the production of tears.
On the sociological side, men in particular are conditioned out of crying. From the age of 12 or 13, boys are told that crying shows a loss of control, that it is a sign of weakness. If men step outside the norm and show their feelings in the workplace, they run the risk of getting labels attached that are not complimentary.

In this crisis(危机) I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or former colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony (礼仪)with which it has been necessary to act.
I say to the House as I said to Ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil(辛苦), sweat and tears. We have before us an ordeal(考验) of the most grievous (极大的)kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.
You ask, what is our policy? I say is to wage (开展)war by land, sea and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny(残暴) never surpassed (超越)in the dark and lamentable (可恶的)catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.
You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs--victory in spite of all terrors--victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.
Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse (动力)of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal.
I take up my task in buoyancy(快乐) and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men.
I feel entitled(有权利的)at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "come then, let us go forward together with our united strength".

Aphrodite loved Adonis more than she did to heaven, for he was
a brisk, lovely young hunter. She abandoned her residence
at Olympus and took to the woods, where she dressed
herself up like a huntress and kept the youth companion all day 【M1】 ______
long. With him she roved through bushy grounds and groves and
over hills and dales, cheering hounds and pursuing game of a
harmless sort. They had a great time together. So, she 【M2】 ______
warned him many times to chase wild beasts like lions and 【M3】 ______
wolves, but the young man just laughed at the idea.
One day, after warning him thus, she left to Olympus in 【M4】 ______
her chariot. Quite by chance Adonis' hounds found a boar, that 【M5】 ______
roused Adonis to enthusiasm. He hit the beast with a dart, and 【M6】 ______
the boar, turning on him ,buried its white tusk deep into his
tender side and trampled him to death.
When Aphrodite came back to find her lover cold in death,
she burst into a passion of tears: Unable to wrest him back from
the low world, she sprinkled nectar on Adonis' blood and 【M7】 ______
turned it into anemone, a delicate purple flower.
Aphrodite was, therefore, still inconsolable. In grief and 【M8】 ______
despair she flew to Zeus and implored him to restore Adonis to
her. Though she had Zeus' sympathy, Hades was by no means
prepared to comply with her request. After the much dispute a 【M9】 ______
compromise was worked out under which Adonis was to spend
half the year above ground with Aphrodite, but the rest six 【M10】 ______
months in the Elysian Fields. Therefore, in spring time Adonis
came back to the loving embrace of Aphrodite, but when winter
came he had to return most reluctantly to Hades.
