11、However women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem, especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity.

Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school, though some attended private Catho
30、lic “finishing“ schools. There they learned a little about music, art, needlework, and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Maria-or her mother. By this time, she had begun to take her studies more seriously. She read constantly and brought her books ev
31、erywhere. One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark.Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. That meant attending the public high school, something that very few girls did. In Italy at the time, there were two types of high schools, t

34、understand these subjects. Furthermore, they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.Maria did not care if it was proper or not.

35、nally did, with her mother s help, though for many years after, there was tension in the family.

Her experience at this school
36、 is difficult for us to imagine. Though the courses included modern subjects, the teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way. Teach

41、But the official said the firing came several hours before the structure burst into flames, killing 80 people including the Davidians leader, David Koresh.“In looking into this, weve come across information that shows some canisters that can be deemed pyrotechnic in nature were firedhours before the

45、ound started around noon, the official said. The official also added that other tear gas canisters used by agent that day were not flammable or potentially explosive.While Coulson denied the grenades played a role in starting the fire, his statement marked the first time that any U.
