Almost every society has certain traditional ideas about marriage. For example,most societies expect men and women to marry. Most cultures also have traditions about the role and duties of a husband and a wife. Traditionally,the husband is expected to earn a living,and the wife is expected to keep house and raise children.
Many Americans did not follow traditional marriage patterns. For example,a large number of married couples share responsibilities that have been traditionally handled by either the husband or the wife. An increasing number of married women have paying jobs and help support their families financially. In 1940s,about 15 percent of all married women earned money. In the early 1990s,about 60 percent held a full-or part-time job. More and more husbands share responsibilities traditionally handled by women,such as cooking,doing housework,and caring for children.
On the average,men and women stay single longer than they once did. In 1950s,men married at an average age of 23,and women married at an average age of 20. By the mid-1990s,the average marriage age was about 26.5 for men and about 24.5 for women.
An increasing number of people choose not to marry. If a man and a woman wish to avoid marriage,they may decide to live together with no formal obligations to each other. This arrangement is more common among young adults,but some couples of all ages live together without marrying. (239 words)

Do women tend to devalue(贬低) the worth of their work? Do they apply different standards to rewarding their own work more critically than they do to rewarding the work of others? These were the questions asked by Michigan State University psychologists Lawrence Messe and Charlene Callahan-Levy. Past experiments had shown that when women were asked to decide how much to pay themselves and other people for the same job, they paid themselves less. Following up on this finding, Messe and Callahan-Levy designed experiments to test several popular explanations of why women tend to get less in pay situations.
One theory the psychologists tested was that women judge their own work more harshly than that of others. The subjects for the experiment testing this theory were men and women from the Michigan State undergraduate student body. The job the subjects were asked to perform. for pay was an opinion questionnaire(调查表) requiring a number of short essays on campus-related issues. After completing the questionnaire, some subjects were given six dollars in bills and change and were asked to decide payment for themselves. Others were given the same amount and were asked to decide payment for another subject who had also completed the questionnaire.
The psychologists found that, as in earlier experiments, the women paid themselves less than the men paid themselves. They also found that the women paid themselves less than they paid other women and less than the men paid the women. The differences were substantial. The average paid to women by themselves was $ 2.97. The average paid to men by themselves was $ 4.06. The average paid to women by others was $ 4.37. In spite of the differences, the psychologists found that the men and the women in the experiment evaluated their own performances on the questionnaire about equally and better than the expected performances of others.
On the basis of these findings, Messe and Callahan-Levy concluded that women's attachment of a comparatively low monetary value to their work cannot be based entirely on their judgment of their own ability.
The experiment designed in the passage would be most relevant to the formulation(陈述,表述) of a theory concerning the ______.
A.generally lower salaries received by women workers in comparison to men
B.reluctance of some women to enter professions that are traditionally dominated by men
C.anxiety expressed by some women workers in dealing with male supervisors
D.prejudices often suffered by women in attempting to enter the workforce
