第三节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
My newlywed husband gave me butterfly kisses and said the same thing every morning , “ You’re beautiful today .”
One glance in the mirror revealed that it was far from the truth .
A skinny girl with mashed hair on one side of her head and no makeup smiled back at me .
“ Liar . ” I shouted back with a smile .
It was my usual response . My mother’s first husband was not a kind man and the harsh words we heard growing up took root . I had trouble seeing myself as someone of value . I had been married two years when I surprised myself . My husband wrapped his arms around me and told me I was beautiful .
“ Thank you . ” I said .
The same thin girl with the mousy brown hair still stared back at me in the mirror , but somehow the words had finally blossomed in my heart .
A lot of years have passed . My husband has grey in his hair . I’m no long skinny . Last week I woke up and my husband’s face was inches from mine .
“ What are you doing ? ” I asked .
I covered my mouth , trying to hide my morning breath . He reached down and kissed my face .
“ What I do every morning . ” He said .
What a man ! My husband understands my past . He’s been beside me as I’ve grown from an unsure young girl to a confident woman , mother , speaker and author .
But I’m not sure that he understands the part he played in that transition .
The words I heard growing up pierced my soul , yet his words and kisses pierced even deeper .
This anniversary day I plan to wake early . I want to tell Richard how much I love him . He may look in the mirror and see an extra pound or two , or wish for the day when his hair was dark and curly , but all I’ll see is the man who saw something in me which couldn’t see it myself , and who leaves butterfly kisses , even after twenty-three years marriage .
56. Why did the author give “ liar ” as a usual response ?
A. She developed such a habit .
B. She was not beautiful actually .
C. Her husband always cheated her .
D. Her childhood made her unconfident .

B. Cheated .
C. Proud .
D. Doubted .

In Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime
employment . They will not be laid off during recessions（经济萧条）or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots . To some observers , this is capitalism at its best , because workers are treated as people not things . Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain petitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people .
Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works . In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job . The lifetime employment system includes only “regular employees . ”Many employees do not fall into this category , including all women . All businesses have many part time and temporary employees . These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are . These “ irregular workers ” make up about 10 percent of the nonagricultural work force . Additionally , Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors（分包单位）. This practice is much more mon in Japan than in the United States .
The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly
in Japan since the 1974-1975 recessions . All this leads some people to argue that the Japanese system really is not all that different from the American system . During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors . In the United States , corporations lay off those workers with the least working experience . The difference then is probably less than the term “lifetime employment ”suggests , but there still is a difference . And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society . The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual terms . Firms hold on to the employees and that employees stay with one firm . There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job . Most retirement benefits e from the employer . Changing jobs means losing these benefits . Also , teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production . Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily , lower productivity and lower pay .
64. According to the passage , a woman in Japan __________ .
A. cannot get a lifetime job
B. is impossible to get a part time job
C. will be employed for life
D. is among the regular workers
