Traditional Ideas about MarriageAlmost every society has certain traditional ideas about

Traditional Ideas about Marriage

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)

听力原文: What we call the fine arts are considered to be painting, sculpture, literature,
drama, music, dancing, and architecture.

Today, many curious experiments are being made in all the fine arts. But the traditional methods and products of the fine arts all have things in common. For one thing they have "design". Design can be with sounds, with stones, with words, with building materials, with lines, and paint. A work of fine art is designed. And within that design, the creator "rhythm", "balance", and "harmony".

Rhythm comes from the more or less regular repetition of similar sounds, colors, shapes, and movements. Balance is the arrangement of what the artist works with so that the result seems right to us. And harmony is putting things together that seem to belong together. These, of course, are only rough ideas of what a creator in the fine arts tries to do.

Which of the following is not the fine art?

(13)

A.Sculpture.

B.Literature.

C.Music.

D.Tennis.

第8题

Mobility of individual members and family groups tends to split up family relationships. O
ccasionally the movement of a family away from a situation which has been the source of Conflict results in greater family organization, but on the whole mobility is disorganizing.

Individuals and families are involved in three types of mobility: movement in space, movement up or down in social status, and the movement of ideas. These are termed respectively spatial(空间的), vertical, and ideational(概念的)mobility.

A great increase in spatial mobility has gone along with improvements in rail and water’transportation, the invention and use of the automobile, and the availability of airplane passenger service. Spatial mobility results in a decline in the importance of the traditional home with its emphasis on family continuity and stability. Even more important is the fact that spatial mobility permits some members of a family to come in contact with and possibly adopt attitudes, values, and ways of thinking different from those held by other family members. The presence of different attitudes, values, and ways of thinking within a family way, and often does, result in conflict and family disorganization. Potential disorganization is present in those families in which the husband, wife, and children are spatially separated over a long period, or are living together but see each other only briefly because of different work schedules.

One index of the increase in vertical mobility is the great increase in the proportion of sons, and to some extent daughters, who engages in occupations other than those of the parents. Another index of vertical mobility is the degree of intermarriage between social classes. This occurs al- most exclusively between classes which are adjacent(邻近的)to each other. Engaging in a different occupation, or intermarriage, like spatial mobility, allows one to come in contact with ways of behavior. different from those of the parental home, and tends to separate parents and their children.

The increase in ideational mobility is measured by the increase in publications, such as news papers, magazines, and books, the increase in the percentage of the population owning radios, and the increase in television sets. All these tend to introduce new ideas into the home. When individual family members are exposed to and adopt the new ideas, the tendency is for conflict to arise and for those in conflict to become psychologically separated from each other.

What the passage tells us can be summarized by the statement that _________.

A.potential disorganization is present in the American family

B.family disorganization is more or less the result of mobility

C.the movement of a family is one of the factors in raising its social status

D.social development results in a decline in the importance of traditional families

第9题

In Eritrea,a small country in northeast Africa,approximately 80 percent of the population
is illiterate.That percentage is even higher for women.As in many developing countries,most Eritreans have traditional ideas about the role of women.They believe that women should stay home and take care of the family and should not get an education or look for a job.

These beliefs are one of the factors that prevent Eritrea and other developing countries from improving their economic situation.Experience in many countries has shown that educated women have fewer children and have more opportunities for improving their lives and the lives of their families.In Eritrea,in fact,there is great need for improvement.It is one of the poorest countries in the world.For many Eritrean families,getting enough food is a daily problem.

To deal with these problems,the Eritrean government,together with the World Food Program,has a new program that offers food as a reward for learning。In primary schools,all the children receive food packages to take home to their families.However,with the new program,the girls receive 50 percent more food than the boys.This way,parents are encouraged to send their daughters to school rather than keeping them at home.

Another government program that aims to educate women is Food for Training.Managed by the National Union of Eritrean Women,this program offers food rewards(also from the World Food Organization)to women and older girls who are willing to join the program.Because of the war with Ethiopia,many women are bringing up their families on their own.They often live in refugee camps,with no land of their own and no way to earn money.Most of these women are illiterate and have no skills to find a job.They spend most of their day looking for food and preparing it for their families.

The Food for Training program helps the teenagers and women change their lives.If they agree to join the program,they receive a large package of food each month.In return,the women are required to attend free literacy classes for two hours every day.When Food for Training started with classes in two regions of Eritrea,5,000 girls and women joined in the first two months.It is especially popular with teenage girls,aged fourteen to sixteen,who have never had a chance to go to school before.

The organizers of Food for Training also plan to offer other kinds of courses for women,using the same system of food rewards.In these courses,they will teach women job skills and crafts such as basket weaving.These women will not only learn to read and write.They will become aware of what is going on in their country,and they will be able to have a voice in their future.

According to the passage,traditional ideas about women

A.are rejected by the younger generation.

B.help improve the economy.

C.hinder economic development.

D.have little impact on economic development.
