Part B

Directions :

Read the opinions given, by five scholars on challenges facing today's single women,. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar to one of the statements(A to G)given below. Mark your answers on, ANS WER SHEET 1.

Timothy Constance:

What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedi-cated to

his career, but that he doesn't have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best

friend-a soul mate-someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it

doesn' t seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high -achieving men.

Grise Levison:

I think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you'd want to spend your life

with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long

and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matchingyou and who is able to

communicate and listen to trouble talk.

Marry Brown:

In recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the

past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual

achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. How ever, most of

the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart

women. The problem was finding them.

Donna Smith:

I think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and

children, but they aren't willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up

some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of suc-cess includes both

love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular or-der.

Elizabeth Budy:

I think that people who have done at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judg-ment

about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It' s also true that they're likely

to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those

marriages are likely to have more money in them.

Now match the name of each scholar (6/ t0 65) to the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements.

[ A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.

[ B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable marriage.

[ C] How to balance career with family is key to success.

[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.

[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn' t a piece of cake.

[ F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.

[ G] Social assistance is needed for today' s single women.
