单选题Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that btology is destiny．Accoralng to this ideology,basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes·These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life．Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally．Thus, they are naturally suited, much more so than men, to the performance of domestic duties．A woman's place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home．Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker．On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on．Men are to be the providers；women and children are"dependents"． The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these iobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex．It is thus appropriate for women, not men．tO be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, household helpers, and clerks and secretaries．These positions are simply an extension of women's domestic role．Informal distinctions between"vomen's work"and"men's work"in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection ofthe basic differences between the sexes． Finally,the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce.Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearance. So goes the ideology．It is，of course，not true that basic biological and psychological differenc．es between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life．There is ample evidence that sex rolesvaryfrom societyto society,andthose roledifferencesthatto existarelargelylearned． But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society,sex—defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable．

单选题3 Before high school teacher Kimberly Rugh got down to business at the start of a recent school week, she joked with her students about how she'd had to clean cake out of the cor ners of her house after her 2-year-old son's birthday party. This friendly combination of chitchat took place not in front of a blackboard but in an E-mail message that Rugh sent to the 145 students she's teaching at the Florida Virtual School, one of the nation's leading online high schools. The school's motto is "any time, any place, any path, any pace". Florida's E-school attracts many students who need flexible scheduling, from young tennis stars and young musicians to brothers Tobias and Tyler Heeb, who take turns working on the computer while helping out with their family's clam-farming business on Pine Island, off Florida's southwest coast. Home-schoolers also are well represented. Most students live in Florida, but 55 hail from West Virginia, where a severe teacher shortage makes it hard for many students to take advanced classes. Seven kids from Texas and four from Shanghai round out the student body. The great majority of Florida Virtual Schoolers--80 percent are enrolled in regular Florida public or private high schools. Some are busy overachievers. Others are retaking classes they barely passed the first time. The school's biggest challenge is making sure that students aren't left to sink or swim on their own. After the school experienced a disappoint ing course completion rate of just 50 percent in its early years, Executive Director Julie Young made a priority out of what she calls "relationship-building," asking teachers to stay in frequent E-mail and phone contact with their students. That personal touch has helped. The completion rate is now 80 percent. Critics of online classes say that while they may have a limited place, they are a poor substitute for the face-to-face contact and socialization that take place in brick-and-mortar classrooms. Despite opportunities for online chats, some virtual students say they'd prefer to have more interaction with their peers. Students and parents are quick to acknowledge that virtual schooling isn't for every one. "If your child's not focused and motivated, I can only imagine it would be a night mare," says Patricia Haygood of Orlando, whose two daughters are thriving at the Flori da school. For those who have what it takes, however, virtual learning fills an important niche. "I can work at my own pace, on my own time," says Hackney. "It's the ultimate in student responsibility. /

单选题The sixties have been misunderstood. It was not a radical decade, as the term radical is commonly used in connection with those years. It was not a decade of the left ascendant. Rampant, perhaps but not ascendant. Rather, the decade was radicalizing, which, subsequent decades have shown, is different. Politically, the sixties invigorated the right more than the left. But of course politics is not everything. In fact, three decades down the road, the nation's political discourse may be driven by conservatives, but they, although by many measures triumphant, seem aggrieved because politics seems peripheral to, and largely impotent against, cultural forces and institutions permeated with what conservatives consider the sixties sensibilities. Treating a decade as a discrete entity obviously makes the assumption that history during that decade had an obliging tidiness, opening with a decisive and tone-setting episode and closing with a suitably climatic event. History rarely accommodates that assumption. Such a treatment of a decade also makes the equally dubious assumption that the decade in question had a clearly dominant tone or profile. So the 1920s was the decade of jazz, flappers, the birth of the sports celebrity(Babe Ruth, Red Orange, Jack Dempsey), the Lost Generation, Sacco and Vanzetti and.. .Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover. Let us stipulate this, then: A decade, even one as intensely felt at the time and as hotly debated afterward as the sixties was and is, can come to seem, when recollected in tranquility, quite unlike the decade as it was felt at the time, and unlike the decade as it is portrayed by people with an emotional or political investment in portraying it a particular way. It is arguable that we should think of the sixties as beginning in November 1963 and ending in October 1973. That is, the years we connect with the tumultuousness associated with the phrase "the sixties' began with the assassination of a president and ended with the Yom Kippur War and the energy crisis". The assassination shattered(or at least many people say it did)the nation's sunny postwar disposition; it supposedly "ended American innocence". It is unclear how innocent was his nation that had been made possible by Puritans, had been founded by such innocents as Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and James Madison had been born in the bloodshed of what actually was not only the American Revolution but also America's first civil war, had been preserved by the worst civil war the world had until then seen...you get the picture. The sixties as a decade of "lost innocence"? The 1973 oil embargo, which produced a sense of national vulnerability and pervasive limits, did seem to bring down a curtain on something. But on what?
