The relationship between the home and
market economies has gone through two distinct stages. Early industrialization
began the process of transferring some production processes (e. g. clothmaking,
sewing and caning foods) from the home to the marketplace. Although the home
economy could still produce these goods, the processed were laborious (费力的) and
the market economy was usually more efficient. Soon, the more important second
stage was evident—the marketplace began producing goods and services that had
never been produced by the home economy, and the home economy was unable to
produce them (e. g. electricity and electrical appliances, the automobile,
advanced education, sophisticated medical care). In the second stage, the
question of whether the home economy was less efficient in producing these new
goods and services was irrelevant; if the family were to enjoy these fruits of
industrialization, they would have to obtained in the marketplace. The
traditional ways of taking care of these needs in the home, such as in nursing
the sick, became socially unacceptable (and, in most serious cases ,probably
less successful). Just as the appearance of the automobile made the use of the
horse—drawn carriage illegal and then impractical, and the appearance of
television changed the radio from a source of entertainment to a source of
background music, so most of the fruits of economic growth did not increase the
options available to the home economy to either produce the goods or services or
purchase them in the market. Growth brought with it increased variety in
consumer goods, but not increased flexibility for the home economy in obtaining
these goods and services. Instead, economic growth brought with it increased
consumer reliance on the marketplace. In order to consume these new goods and
services, the family had to enter the marketplace as wage earners and consumers.
The neoclassical(新古曲主义的) model that views the family as deciding whether to
produce goods and services directly or to purchase them in the marketplace is
basically a model of the first stage. It cannot accurately be applied to the
second (and current) stage.

单选题President Abraham Lincoln often visited hospitals to talk with wounded soldiers during the Civil War. Once, doctors pointed out a young soldier who was near death and Lincoln went over to his bedside. "Is there anything I can do for you7" asked the President. The soldier obviously didn't recognize Lincoln, and with some effort he was able to whisper. "Would you please write a letter to my mother?" A pen and paper were provided and the President carefully began writing down what the young man was able to say: "My dearest mother, 1 was badly hurt while doing my duty. I'm afraid I'm not going to recover. Don't grieve (悲伤) too much for me, please. Kiss Mary and John for me. May God bless you and father." The soldier was too weak to continue, so Lincoln signed the letter for him and added, "written for your son by Abraham Lincoln." The young man asked to see the note and was astonished when he discovered who had written it. "Are you really the President?" be asked. "Yes, I am, "Lincoln replied quietly. Then he asked if there was anything else he could do. "Would you please hold my hand?" the soldier asked. "It will help to see me through to the end." In the quiet room, the President took the boy's hand in his and spoke warm words of encouragement until death came.
