This important change in women"s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women"s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.
46. We are told that in a family in about 1900 .
A. few children died before they were five
B. seven or eight children lived to be more than five
C. the youngest child would be fifteen
D. four or five children died when they were five
47.One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she .
A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves

Like a growing number of sad relatives, Weiss tapped into one of the most powerful treasures of memories available: a loved one’s online presence. As people spend more time at 43 , there’s less being stored away in dusty attics(阁楼).These pieces of our lives that we put online can feel as eternal as the Internet itself, but what happens to our 44 identity after we die?

Specifically, I am referring to newspaper and magazine ads(attached to this letter)published the week of November 15. Children respond to your type of advertising in an immature way; that is, they are unable to understand how expensive some toys are for middle-class parents. Further, you product is violent in nature. Youth advertisement gives children the impression that it’s fine to have “two guns and laser eyes.” You also suggest that children need your toy to protect them “when you go outside.” This is not a healthy attitude for children to have. I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may harm our children. Sincerely yours, (Mrs.) Alma Hernandez President, Parents for Non-violent Toys Enc. |

Many people write to newspaper and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game.
“People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.
There are people who wish to remain anonymous(匿名的)for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr. King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.
Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is a matter if responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honour our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honour what we say.
小题1:What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the name of the game”?

C.signature and responsibility | D.anonymity and signature |
Happiness, rather than working hard, is the key to success, according to research published yesterday. Cheerfu1 peop1e are more 1ikely to try new things and challenge(wk战)themselves, which strengthens their good emotion and leads to success in work,good relationships and strong health,say psychologists(心理学家).
The findings suggest that happiness is not a “ feel-good” luxury(奢侈品),but is necessary for people’s well-being. What is more, happiness can also reach an entire nation,with people in” happy” nations being more likely to help others.
The link between happiness and success was studied by a team from the University of California Riverside,led by Professor Sonja Lyubomirsky.
First, they examined questionnaires that ask peop1e about their 1ives. “ For example, they show that happy people are likely to earn higher incomes” said Lyubomirsky. Having established the link,they wanted to discover the cause.
“Almost always it has been taken for granted that things that connect closely to happiness are the causes of happiness,but it could be just the opposite that those things are likely to be caused by happiness,” said Professor Ed Diener from the University of Illinois,another author on the paper.
“ There was strong evidence that happiness leads people to be more sociable,more generous and more productive at work,to make more money,and to have stronger immune(免疫)systems,”said Lyubomirsky.
The research shows that while success can put a spring in someone’s step,peop1e need happiness in the first place to achieve success.
According to the study, around 4 out of 5 people in modern industrialized nations arc happy at any one time.
Success was not just about earning lots of money. “ We describe success as having the things that culture or society values,whether it be friends,close family, money and income,or long life,”said Diener.
However,sorrowful people arc not predetermined to lead a life of failure.
小题1:In this passage,which of the following viewpoints does Professor Lyubomirsky state?
A.People in less happy countries are more likely to help others. |
B.Things connected to happiness are brought about by happiness. |
C.Happiness results in richer and healthier people. |
D.Success means possessing things that a cu1ture or society thinks highly of. |
A.put you in good spirits | B.put spring water on your feet |
C.have a pleasant walk in spring | D.step into a cheerful spring |
A.People arc happy because they earn more money. |
B.People earn more money because they are happy. |
C.Working hard is important for being successful. |
D.We can do whatever we like as 1ong as we feel happy. |
A.fee1ing good is a cause and not an effect of achievement |
B.our life would be a failure if we were not happy |
C.happiness is just a personal problem |
D.being successful mainly means being wealthy |
Compulsive(狂热的) shoppers may have a new psychological excuse to blame for their shopping. Psychologists at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand are studying the “shop-till-you-drop” habit as a behavioral disorder similar to compulsive eating. Compulsive shoppers frequently buy more than they can afford or more than they need, and it causes them anxiousness.
“ It becomes a problem when you are out of control,” psychology lecturer Neville Blampied said. “ When you are feeling bad and blue, what do you do? Some people eat chocolate cake and ice cream. Some people take the credit card and go out to the shop.” Bank managers understand the problem because they have to deal with people who have to be persuaded to stop using their cards drawing money.
An advertisement in a Christchurch paper, calling for people to take part in an experimental treatment program designed by Mr. Wilson, attracted 10 replies. But the problem, said Mr. Wilson, is “clearly not rare.” He thinks that compulsive shopping should be treated with drugs. “As psychologists We are interested in non-drug treatments for behavioral difficulties,” Mr. Wilson said.
Compulsive eaters or shoppers get a kick from their habit. “ Both activities provide an immediate kind of kick and you feel a bit better,” he said. “ You have long-term problems, but human beings are extremely good at not seeing long-term problem and are very sensitive to short-term benefits,” he said.
The aim of the treatments was to help people find better ways of managing their emotions. The program, consisting of 10 one-hour weekly lessons and two follow-up treatments, is loosely based on teaching stress management.
“ You often have to start to get people to correctly recognize their emotions. Not being able to know what you really feel weakens your ability to solve the problems.” Mr. Wilson said.
