高二英语假期作业 命题人：吴淑霞 第I卷（选择题） A Hoffman, 40, a former senior vice president of a financial company，had what she describes as “one of those extreme jobs”. “I loved working,” she says. But her career path reached a crossroad when her second child was born, and she left her job in February 2007. Hoffman is one of many people who have left the work force to take a break，but she has a position as a consultant. She has described this type of career detour (绕路)，which is more common for women than for men，as “offramping (驶出坡道)”. Typically it occurs when the balancing act of parenting and work becomes too tough. A study by a research center found that more than 90 percent of women who offramp want to onramp back into the work force eventually. But making the transition back to work is rarely easy，and it is even harder in this economic climate of layoffs and hiring freezes. Considering some of the difficulties faced by onrampers，a threeday program called “Greater Returns：Restarting Your Career” was held at Columbia University. The goal of the three days was to have them walk away with a big shot of confidence. According to one school of thought, women looking to make a comeback might even have an advantage in the current economy, especially if they are looking for part-time or consultant positions that do not offer benefits. And a majority of onrampers are women with wide working experiences that could give them a slight advantage over lessexperienced competition. “You absolutely cannot be defensive about why you offramped,” Ms. Hoffman says. “Defensive” would have put her into a hard situation if the Greater Returns program had not taught her how to describe the years she spent at home. “I now feel confident of talking to an employer and saying，‘Yes，I have been out of the work force，but here is where I can make significant contributions.’” 1．What is the best title for the passage?
