Officially almost 60,000 Nepalese women are now working in the Middle East but the unofficial estimate is closer to 200,000. Many of them are under 30 years old and will be directly affected by the new ban.
The government&39;s been under growing pressure to do more to protect its workers. Women employed in the informal sector as part of a household are very vulnerable. Nepal&39;s Embassies in the region say they deal with numerous cases of alleged physical or sexual abuse, as well as complaints about unpaid wages and terrible conditions.
Many run safe houses to support women who flee their employer&39;s homes. It&39;s only 18 months since the government ended a 12-year ban on all women workers to the Gulf. That wasimposed after a young woman working in Kuwait committed suicide. Now they&39;re adopting this partial ban in the hope that older women might be less at risk. Nepal has a high unemployment rate and the government is trying to strike a balance between protection and allowing women to pursue opportunities.
Other countries face the same dilemma. Two months ago, Kenya banned its citizens from working in the Middle East because, it said, increasing numbers were being mistreated. Last year, Indonesia introduced a ban on women working as maids in the region. That followed numerous cases of abuse and the execution of an Indonesian maid who was accused of killing her former employer.
26. Who will be most probably be affected by the new ban？_________
A. Young Nepalese women working in the Middle East.
B. Nepalese women just back from the Middle East.
C. Nepalese women working at home.
D. Nepalese women who wants to work for rich families.
27. Why does the Nepalese government decide to adopt the ban？___________
A. Because they wanted women to work at home.
B. Because they wanted Nepalese women to have equal opportunities.
C. Because they wanted to protect the Nepalese women.
D. Because they had a bad relationship with the gulf countries.
28. How are the Nepalese women treated when working in the Middle East？_________
A. They are well treated.
B. They are offered many opportunities.
C. They have much freedom.
D. Many of them are mistreated and abused.
29. Which of the following is correct about the ban？_________
A. It is historical and has never been imposed before.
B. A year and a half ago, another ban existed.
C. It has lasted twelve years.
D. It solves the unemployment problem at home.
30. Which of the following is correct？_________
A. Middle East women work outside their countries.
B. Women working in the Middle East all come from Asia.
C. Women working in the Middle East need protection.
D. Embassies cannot do anything to protect women from their country.

In cities across the United States, old factories, warehouses, schools railroad stations and other buildings are being renovated for new uses.City planners and private investors are finding the good buildings, no matter how old, can be remodeled for new purposes.“If you’d asked someone four or five years ago whether he’d rent an apartment in an abandoned piano factory of clothing warehouse, he’d have thought you were crazy,” says a New York architect.“Today, many people are eager to do it.” The renovating may include a former city hall or courthouse changed into offices; a bank or church changed into a restaurant; or , as in Plains, Georgia, a railroad station used as a center for a presidential campaign.
Only a few decades ago, renovation was unpopular and generally far more expensive than taking down abandoned building and string from the beginning.A change began in the 1960s with a number of well-advertised projects.They included Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, where an old chocolate factory was restored and made into shops and restaurants, Trolly Square in Salt Lake, where unused warehouses were made into artists’ studios and apartments.
What caused the change？ “One reason is nostalgia,” a San Francisco builder suggests.“Maybe old is better than new, many people are saying.Feelings about preserving attractive or historic buildings have changed a great deal.” A second cause is economy.The cost of tearing down an old building and constructing a new one from nothing now has risen to the point where it is often less expensive to fix a solid older structure.Also builders realize that fixing up an existing building often requires no new permits, sewer lines, or water connections.
Even when the costs of restoration are the same as or a bit more than the costs of putting up a new building, fixing the old building may be better.A Boston architect says The advantage comes when you can develop a final project that is more desirable than a new building – one with the right location, more space, more floor area, a special character, materials of a particular quality.” Gradually, architects and builders are developing knowledge about renovation and preservation, bringing imagination and creativity to the job.
16.In the United States, renovating old buildings_____.
A.has had a long history
B.is becoming increasingly popular
C.is still unpopular
D.has just caught the fancy of architects and builders
17.Ghirardelli Square, Trolley Square, and the Soho district are projects that_________.
A.have been given much publicity
B.are little known to the public
C.have been widely discussed among builders and city planners
D.have changed the building business
18.“Nostalgia” in the 3rd paragraph most probably means________.
A.being conservative
B.being keen on saving money
C.being fond of things new
D.being fond of things of the remote past
19.Which of the following statements is true？
A.Every old building can be renovated for new uses
B.Renovating old buildings is always less costly than putting up new ones
C.Renovation does not require imagination and creativity
D.Fixing an old building may have advantages even when it costs a little more

This book may not change your life. But if you have a tendency to be messy and have already broken your new year resolutions to be neater in future, it will certainly make you feel better about your natural inclinations. Untidiness, hoarding, procrastination and improvisation are not bad habits, the authors argue, but often more sensible than meticulous planning, storage and purging of possessions.
That is because the tidiness lobby counts the benefits of neatness, but not its costs. A rough storage system (important papers close to the keyboard, the rest distributed in loosely related piles on every flat surface) takes very little time to manage. Filing every bit of paper in a precise category, with colour-coded index tabs and a neat system of cross-referencing, will certainly take longer. And by the end, it may not save any time. Your reviewer's office is easily the most untidy in The Economist (not entirely his own work, it should be said, thanks to the heroic efforts of his even untidier office-mate). But when it comes to managing information, there seems to be no discernible difference in the end result.
The authors of this book trawl the furthest reaches of psychology, management studies, biology and physics to show why a bit of disorder is good for you. Chiefly, it creates much more room for coincidence and serendipity. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin because he was notoriously untidy, and didn't clean a Petri dish, thus allowing fungal spores to get to work on bacteria. He remarked wryly on visiting a colleague's spotless lab: "no danger of mould here".
It can also help make sense of things. Hearing depends on random movement of molecules: when they coincide with sounds from outside, they are strong enough to stimulate the inner ear. A bit of background noise on the phone enables our ears to filter out echoes. A slightly mushy photograph can be easier to understand. Music and art depend on mess.
Procrastination makes sense too. America’s Marine Corps, the authors repeat (several times), never makes detailed plans in advance. Leaving important things to the last minute reduces the risk of wasting time on things that may ultimately prove not important at all.
The authors are witheringly contemptuous of the bogus equation of tidiness and morality—for example in corporate "clean desk" policies. Disorder and creativity are so closely linked that any employer who penalizes the first sacrifices the second, they argue. America's professional organizers, a thriving and lucrative cult of tidiness coaches, are merchants of guilt, not productivity boosters.
It's all fine, up to a point. But the book has two weaknesses. One is that it overstates the case. The case for tidiness in some environments—surgery, a dinner table or income tax returns—is really overwhelming. The other is that the book is a bit repetitive and disorganized. Even readers who love mess in their own lives don't necessarily like it in others.
Paraphrase the sentence "the tidiness lobby counts the benefits of neatness, but not its costs". (para. 2)
