During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman slifespent in caring for children. A woman who got married at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till theywere five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women get married at a younger age and havefewer children. Usually a woman syoungest child willbe fifteen when she is forty -five and islikely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances （家用电器） and convenience foods.This important change in women s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effecton w omen s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they got married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school欢迎下载精品学习资源after that age, and though women tend to get married young, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Manymore return afterwards to a full-time or part-time job. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husbandand wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.21.

They were coming from a point in the sky where there was no know star. They were coming very regularly too: about once a second. It was as if they were controlled by a clock.The scientists who heard the signals did not tell anybody else. They were rather afraid to tell in case they frightened people. The signals were coming from a very small body-no bigger, perhaps, than the earth. Was that why no light could be seen from it. Or were欢迎下载精品学习资源the signals coming from a planet that belonged to some other star.There was no en d to the questions, but the scientists kept the news secret.“ Perhathere are intelligent beings out there,” they thought,“ who are trying to send messages toother planets, or to us. ”So the news was not given to the newspapers. Instead, the scientists studied the signals and searched for others like themWell, all that happened in 1967 and 1968. Since then scientists have learnt more about those strange, regular, radio signals. And they have told the story, of course. The signals donot come from a planet ； they come from a new kind of star called a“ pulsar” . About ahundred other pulsars have now been found, and most of them are very like the first one.Pulsars are strong radio stars. They are the smallest but the heaviest stars we know at present. A handful of pulsar would weigh a few thousand tons. Their light-if they give much light-is too small for us to see. But we can be sure of this: no intelligent beings are living on them.26.
