根據(jù)句型結構，空處的詞因為形容詞；再結合前文Because sometimes they only work a few hours and other times they work many hours.因為他們有時只工作幾個小時，有時工作許多小時的句意可知，空處的詞應為“公平的fair”，故答案為fair。

【6】句意：作為老板，你工作多少小時？

根據(jù)下文In the winter I work eight hours a day, but in the spring, summer and autumn I work 12 to 13 hours a day. 在冬天我一天工作八個小時，在春天和夏天我一天工作12—13個小時可知，空處的詞是介詞“作為as”，故答案為as。

【題目】 Are you an eating-lover? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China? It’s a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Is there any holiday that isn’t celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:

Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.

Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan in Chinese history.
