For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hourswhat we here call "shift work"makes the lives of families difficult. Existing research shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do "whatever it takes" to approximate their view of a proper marriage, including sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is characterized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are "providers" whose major responsibility is to support the family; wives are "homemakers" who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children. The womens definitions of a "good husband" are typified by the following wifes response: I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me, expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speaking, when its time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything. To husbands, a good wife is someone who is: Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work, I hope I get it at work, I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I dont want her to give me a lot of shit when I come home from work because I dont know if this makes much sense. These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers.Despite_,shift work couples still hoped to maintain a stable life.Atraditional beliefs about marriageBlack of control over timeCa very clear division of rolesDthe demands of work 14.Americans are getting ready for the biggest soccer event in the world. For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States. While millions play the game around the world, soccer or football has only recently become popular here. It is only in the last 30 years that large numbers of young Americans became interested in soccer. Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country. A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States. The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students. And so, when the world cup begins next week, more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this years world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold. Soccer has been played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country And how long has it existed in other parts of the world No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer Came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago. There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games similar to soccer. Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modem soccer. They also agree that the British spread the game around the world. Unlike the game today, which uses balls of man-made material or leather, early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs. The rules of early soccer games also differed from those we have today.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the textAAmericans were preparing for the world cup when the author wrote this article.BMore younger Americans became interested in soccer in the last 30 years.CSoccer is the fastest developing sport in the world.DThe article was written before the world cup held in the United States. 15.How much does the man owe the womanA64 cents.B18 cents.C80 cents.D16 cents. 16.

These who have a passion (26) climbing high and difficult mountains are often (27) with astonishment. Why are men and women (28) to suffer cold and hardship, and to (29) on high mountains This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities (30) which men give their leisure. There are no man-made rules, as there are for (31) games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to (32) , but it is this freedom from man-made rules (33) makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own (34) . If we (35) mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is (36) mountaineering is not a "team work". However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no "matches" (37) "teams" of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may (38) , obviously, there is teamwork. A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural (39) that are stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and (40) qualities. A mountain climber (41) to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions (42) in their early twenties. But it is not (43) for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more (44) than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less (45) of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.AforBinCtoDof 18.Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre "hot". Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: "Get up, Peter! Youll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrel ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but yon have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably_.Ahe is a lazy personBhe refuses to follow his own energy cycleChe is not sure when his energy is lowDhe is at his peak in the afternoon or evening 19.
