问答题The greatest impact on the family over the last 50 years has been the changing role of the wife. These changes have affected not only her life but also that of her husband and children. 61){{U}}The family has changed from an economically defined unit under the authority of the father and having minimal interpersonal emotional ties to a unit with strong emotional ties directed primarily by the mother to her husband and children.{{/U}} One important result was greater emotional and general psychological seclusion of the woman which clearly implied that the female role was culturally a secondary one. In recent decades it has become clear that for a distinct minority of American women the traditional mother role in the seclusion of the home is no longer acceptable. For many the family is of diminishing importance. The development of education for women has been a crucial factor in this change. Today, over 80 percent of all women complete four years of high school as compared to only 35 percent in 1940. This is related to the fact that marriage now occurs a year later for the average woman. The proportion of women aged 20 to 24 who are single increased from 28 percent in 1960 to 40 percent by the mid-1970s. 62){{U}}Child bearing is being postponed, so that compared to the 1960s, 10 percent fewer women bear their first child in the two years immediately following marriage.{{/U}} Furthermore, more women today remain childless. Work, older age at marriage, and fewer children are the basic changes that have taken place in women's roles in recent years. The trend among women is toward increased education, and this is linked to other role changes. 63){{U}}The higher a woman's educational attainment, the more likely she is to work, to stay in the labor force longer, and to have more job opportunities available to her.{{/U}} This further suggests that when women are married their work has a great impact on their marriages. For example, since working wives contribute 25 to 40 percent of their total family income, their position as decision-makers in the family is usually strengthened. 64){{U}}Weitz points out that the social trends towards increased education for women mean not only more work experience but also delayed marriage and decreased fertility.{{/U}} These changes, in turn, point the way toward evn greater labor force participation throughout the life cycle. The number of women entering the work force is rapidly increasing. Women outnumber men in the total population by about 7 million. 65){{U}}When that is added to the fact that labor force participation of males is slowly declining because of the trend toward earlier retirement, "it may not be too long before one out of every two American workers is a woman. "{{/U}}

问答题 Whether trying to live with the depressing spectacle of drought or battling rampaging floods or suffering with a debilitating disease caused by contaminated drinking supplies, people in almost every corner of the world have had their problems with the vagaries of water. Although water covers much of our planet, more than 97% is in the oceans. Another 2% is unusable ice. Moreover, much of the remainder is polluted. So much for the supposed abundance! Developed and developing countries alike are now talking about a crisis. What of the future? Will water needs reach a peak? Unhappily, UN experts expect demands to double in the next 25 years. 61. {{U}}This will coincide with increasing population and industrialization and the attendant risk of factory and human waste further contaminating rivers, lakes and ground water.{{/U}} So, is there any hope of a solution? The answer, fortunately, is that the problem is being tackled. 62. {{U}}Specialists in many countries are developing methods to improve supply and conservation and protect quality, and a number of ambitious programs have been undertaken.{{/U}} Good forecasting--including predictions of snow, rain, river levels and soil loss--can help scientists head off, or at least cope with floods. Canals can ease one of the major water-related problems, drought. With something tike three quarters of the world' s fresh water tied up as ice, plans to drag icebergs to drought areas have been around for a long time; attempts to overcome the drawbacks are still being made. A great deal of energy would be needed to the ice and pump the water inland, and the ice might melt before reaching its destination. In addition, research into desalting seawater continues with new and improving desalting methods although no method can yet promise truly low-cost fresh water. Fossil water--underground water dating back to the ice age could be drilled for in some areas but supplies are non-renewable. Work continues in all these areas. It is obvious that a lot of time, money and research is going into finding solutions to some of the problems. 63. {{U}}However, worldwide, the ugly fact remains that something like 250 million new cases of waterborne diseases are discovered every year and 25,000 people die from them every day.{{/U}} Pollution continues to plague all of us. "Even as the rain falls", says Russell W. Peterson, former chairman of the US Council on Environmental Quality, "It scours pollutants from the air. In fact, nearly all the pollutants the people of the world discharge into the air end up in our water systems." 64. {{U}}Therefore, whether tainted by industrial waste, sewage or other pollution, unreliable water supplies frequently create breeding grounds for deadly water-borne diseases when safeguards and purification are inadequate.{{/U}} Millions of people, therefore, continue to be affected by water-related problems and contrary to popular belief, future water supplies are not inexhaustible. So the situation is very serious, especially in view of the UN estimates of demand. 65. {{U}}Although projects to provide ever increasing supplies of water indicate that a growing number of countries are aware of the present problems and of those to come, these more often than not are highly expensive and not very practical, and very time-consuming when time is commodity in short supply.{{/U}} Therefore, while research in these areas is important, the eventual solution would definitely appear to be worldwide conservation and pollution controlin other words, a greater respect for our most valuable natural resource.

问答题Television is now playing a very important part in our life. But television, like other things, has both advantages and disadvantages. Does the former outweigh the latter':' In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. (61)For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing. (62) All they have to do is press a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies. The television viewer takes no initiative. He makes no choice and exercises no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part. (63) Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers endless series of programs which are both instructive and entertaining. The most distant countries and the strangest custom are brought right into one's sitting-room. (64) It could be argued that the radio performs this service just as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. We get so used to looking at it, so dependent on its flickering pictures, that it begins to dominate our lives. There are many other arguments for and against television. The poor quality of its programs is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt or instruct our children? I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. (65) It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society.
