   roles. As women’s roles have changed, changing expectations about men’s
   roles have become more 52 . Many men are relinquishing their major
   responsibility 53 the family provider. Probably the most significant
   change in men’s roles, however, is in the emotional 54 of family life. Men
   are increasingly 55 to meet the emotional needs of their families, 56
   their wives.
   　　 In fact, expectations about he emotional domain of marriage have become
   more significant for marriage in general. Research on 57 marriage has
   changed over recent decades points to the increasing importance of the
   emotional side of the relationship, and the importance of sharing in the “

   Passage1
   　　 The man who invented Coca-cola was not a native Atlantan, but on the
   day of his funeral every drugstore in town testimonially shut up shop. He
   was John Styth Pemberton, born in 1833 in Knoxville, Georgia, eighty miles
   away. Sometimes known as Doctor, Pemberton was a pharmacist who, during
   the Civil War, led a cavalry troop under General Joe Wheelrer. He settled
   in Atlanta in 1869, and soon began brewing such patent medicines as
   Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup. In 1885, he
   registered a trademark for something called French Wine Coca-Ideal Nerve
   and Tonic Stimulant, a few months later he formed the Pemberton Chemical
   Company, and recruited the services of a bookkeeper named Frank M.
   Robinson, who not only had a good head for figures but, attached to it, so
   exceptional a nose that he could audit the composition of a batch of syrup
   merely by sniffling it. In 1886-a year in which, as contemporary Coca-Coca
   officials like to point our, Conan Doyle unveiled Sherlock Holmes and
   France unveiled the Statue of Liberty-Pemberton unveiled a syrup that he
   called Coca-Coca. It was a modification of his French Wine Coca. He had
   taken our the wine and added a pinch of caffeine, and, when the end
   product tasted awful, had thrown in some extract of cola nut and a few
   other oils, blending the mixture in a three-legged iron pot in his back
   yard and swishing it around with an oar. He distributed it to soda
   fountains in used beer bottles, and Robinson, with his glowing
   bookkeeper’s script, presently devised a label, on which “Coca-Cola” was
   written in the fashion that is still employed. Pemberton looked upon his
   mixture less as a refreshment than as a headache cure, especially for
   people whose headache could be traced to over-indulgence.
   　　 On a morning late in 1886,one such victim of the night before dragged
   himself into an Atlanta drugstore and asked for a doolop of Cola-Cola.
   Druggists customarily stirred a teaspoonful of syrup into a glass of
   water, but in this instance the man on duty was too lazy to walk to the
   fresh-water tap, a couple of feet off. Instead, he mixed the syrup with
   some soda water, which was closer at hand. The suffering customer perked
   up almost at once, and word quickly spread that the best Coca-Cola was a
   fizzy one.

   Passage 2
   　　 Between 1833 and 1837, the publishers of a “penny press” proved that a
   low-priced paper, edited to interest ordinary people, could win what
   amounted to a mass circulation for the times and thereby attract an
   advertising volume that would make it independent. These were papers for
   the common citizen and were not tied to the interests of the business
   community, like the mercantile press, or dependent for financial support
   upon political party allegiance. It did not necessarily follow that all
   the penny papers would be superior in their handing of the news and
   opinion functions. But the door was open for some to make important
   journalistic advances.
   　　 The first offerings of a penny paper tended to be highly sensational;
   human interest stories overshadowed important news, and crime and sex
   stories were written in full detail. But as the penny paper attracted
   readers from various social and economic brackets, its sensationalism was
   modified. The ordinary reader came to want a better product, too. A
   popularized style of writing and presentation of news remained, but the
   penny paper became a respectable publication that offered significant
   information and editorial leadership. Once the first of the successful
   penny papers had shown the way, later ventures could enter the competition
   at the higher level of journalistic responsibility the pioneering papers
   had reached.
   　　 This was the pattern of American newspapers in the years following the
   founding of the New York Sun in 1833. The sun, published by Benjamin Day,
   entered the lists against 11 other dailies. It was tiny in comparison; but
   it was bright and readable, and it preferred human interest features to
   important but dull political speech reports. It had a police reporter
   writing squibs of crime news in the style already proved successful by
   some other papers. And, most important, it sold for a penny, whereas its
   competitors sold for six cents. By 1837 the sun was printing 30,000 copies
   a day, which was more than the total of all 11 New York daily newspapers
   combined when the sun first appeared. In those same four years James
   Gordon Bennett brought out his New York Herald (1835), and a trio of New
   York printers who were imitating Day’s success founded the Philadelphia
   Public ledger (1836) and the Baltimore sun (1837).The four penny sheets
   all became famed newspapers.

   67. What does the first paragraph say about the “penny press?”
   A. It was known for its in-depth news reporting
   B. It had an involvement with some political parties.
   C. It depended on the business community for survival.
   D. It aimed at pleasing the general public.
   68. In its early days, a penny paper often ___________--
   A. paid much attention to political issues
   B. provided stories that hit the public taste
   C. offered penetrating editorials on various issues
   D. covered important news with inaccuracy
   69. As the readership was growing more diverse, the penny
paper____________
   A. improved its content
   B. changed its writing style
   C. developed a more sensational style
   D. became a tool for political parries
   70. The underlined word “ventures” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by
   ___________
   A. editors
   B. reporters
   C. newspapers
   D. companies
   71. What is true about the Philadelphia Public Ledger and the Baltimore
   sun.?
   A. They turned out to be failures.
   B. They were later purchased by James Gordon Bennett.
   C. They were also founded by Benjamin Day.
   D. They became well-known newspapers in the U.S.
   72. This passage is probably taken from a book on ___________
   A. the work ethics of the American media
   B. the techniques in news reporting
   C. the history of sensationalism in American
