In pressurised modern lives, demands to be a fulfilled individual, and a good partner a

29、nd a good worker, take no account of being a good parent. We havent left space for the nurturing parents expect to provide and children 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

30、really want them. And that should mean that parenthood is seen as a much more positive commitment than it is now, and that parents are socially supported, and admired for doing a good job. The problem is that in the last generation or so weve come to assume that women should be able, and should want

31、, to do everything that by tradition men have done at the same time as pretty well as everything that by tradition women have done. And its just not possible. Indeed since adopting a male agenda in life is arguably only another form of submission (男尊女卑 ), quite a number of highly educated and econom

32、ically privileged women are now choosing to take career breaks so as to be at home with their children for longer than that insulting 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 t

33、o be equal parents and do their share. But theres often a contradictory emotional sub-text because children are the last bastion (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. “ Havin

34、g children especially the first child puts a bigger strain on a couples relationship than anything else they ever do. So a future 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 woul

35、d be solely to pleasure and support each other an interesting prospect. 31 Many parents in the West just dont work because_. （ A） theyre tired of their work （ B） they have too many pressures at work （ C） they want to spend more time with their children （ D） they want to relax and enjoy the life 32 I

36、t is assumed by the last generation or so that_. （ A） women should stay home while men go out to work （ B） women should go out to have their own careers （ C） women should be able and willing to do the housework and hold a job at the same time （ D） women and men should equally share the housework and

38、t educated highly enough 34 Why is there still a conflict after men participate more and more in parenting? （ A） Because there are more quarrels between women and men about how to educate children. （ B） Because women dont want men to be equal parents and do their share. （ C） Because women worry men

39、will not concentrate on their job. （ D） Because women worry their female role in family may be intervened and diminish. 35 Which is true about the future trend? （ A） More parents will choose to stay at home to take care of their children. （ B） Families with several children will emerge stronger and

40、richer. （ C） More people will choose not to get married. （ D） More couples will choose not to have children. 35 With unemployment 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

41、 are sleeping on floors in dingy social service centers, living in cars or spending nights on the streets. In New York, Boston and 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.

42、 S. Conference of Mayors released last week found that requests for emergency shelter in 27 cities had increased an average of 13 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 perc

43、ent in New Orleans. An unusual confluence of factors seems to be responsible for the surge. Housing prices, which soared in the expansion 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 otherw

44、ise gone to the poor. Benefits for welfare recipients are expiring under government-imposed deadlines. And charitable donations to programs that help the disadvantaged are down considerably, officials around the country said, because of the economy and the outpouring of donations for people affected

45、 by Sept. 11. “This is an unprecedented convergence (集中 ) of calamities (灾难 ),“ said Xavier De Souza Briggs, an assistant professor of public policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. “Its really a crisis. “ More than half the cities surveyed by the mayors group reported that in

46、 the last year people had remained homeless longer, an average of six months. There is no total number for the homeless nationwide. Experts said it was difficult to compare the situation with statistics in previous decades, because counting methods have improved. Yet, several experts said they belie

47、ved that the increases reported by cities like Boston and Chicago reflected a national trend. “My impression is there is more homelessness 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 sol

48、e explanation. “I think that there must be a greater segment of our population that has tenuous connections to family and friends, 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

49、the increase of homelessness? （ A） Unemployment. （ B） Housing prices. （ C） Sept. 11 attacks. （ D） Floods. 37 The Sept. 11 attacks_. （ A） caused the U. S. economy to falter （ B） worsened the U.
