30、ildren need. As a result, many parents in the western world just dont work. Something will have to change. With luck, people in the future will only have children if they really want them.

32、e. And its just not possible.

33、ting 18 weeks. The most welcome trend in parenting is that men are participating more and more. Even that is not free of conflict, though. Intellectually, women want men to be equal parents and do their share. But theres often a contradictory emotional sub-text because children are the last bastion

34、(堡垒 ) of distaff power (女性的权利 ) in the family. “I want him to help me but this is my territory and being better at it is one of the few things Ive got as a female. “ Having children especially the first child puts a bigger strain on a couples relationship than anything else they ever do. So a future

35、 of smaller families and more people choosing not to have children at all could well leave couples closer than they are today; for many, the purpose of being together would be solely to pleasure and support each other an interesting prospect. 31 Many parents in the West just dont work because_. （ A）

41、 rising and housing costs still high, cities around the country are experiencing a new and sudden wave of homelessness. Shelters are overflowing, and more people this year are sleeping on floors in dingy social service centers, living in cars or spending nights on the streets. In New York, Boston an

42、d other cities, homelessness is at record levels, a consequence of a faltering (摇晃的 ) economy that has crumbled even further after the Sept. 11 attacks. A survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors released last week found that requests for emergency shelter in 27 cities had increased an average of 13

43、 percent over last year. The report said the increases were 26 percent in Trenton; 25 percent in Kansas City, Mo.; 22 percent in Chicago; 20 percent in Denver; and 20 percent in New Orleans. An unusual confluence of factors seems to be responsible for the surge. Housing prices, which soared in the e

44、xpansion of the 1990s, have not gone down, even though the economy has tumbled. A stream of layoffs has newly unemployed people taking low-wage jobs that might have otherwise gone to the poor.

46、or of public policy at the John F.

There is no total number for the homeless nationwid

47、e. Experts said it was difficult to compare the situation with statistics in previous decades, because counting methods have improved. Yet, several experts said they believed that the increases reported by cities like Boston and Chicago reflected a national trend. “My impression is there is more hom

48、elessness now than there was 20 years ago,“ Gary Burt-less, an economist at the Brookings Institution, said, adding that he believed that economic factors were not the sole explanation. “I think that there must be a greater segment of our population that has tenuous connections to family and friends

49、, and therefore has fewer resources to fall back on when something very bad happens like when they lose their job,“ he said. 36 Which of the following is NOT a reason for the increase of homelessness? （ A） Unemployment. （ B） Housing prices. （ C） Sept. 11 attacks. （ D） Floods. 37 The Sept. 11 attacks_. （ A） caused the U.
