It has two aspects: that of the wife who is more of a success than her husband and that of the wife who must rely heavily on her husband for he

30、lp with domestic tasks. There are various ways in which the impact of the first difficulty can be reduced. Provided that husband and wife are not in the same or directly comparable lines of work, the harsh fact of her greater success can be obscured by a genial conspiracy to reject a purely monetary

31、 measure of achievement as intolerably crude. Where there are ranks, it is best if the couple work in different fields so that the husband can find some special reason for the superiority of the lowest figure in his to the most elevated in his wifes.A problem that affects a much larger number of wor

32、king wives is the need to re-allocate domestic tasks if there are children. In The Road to Wigan Pier George Orwell wrote of the unemployed of the Lancashire coalfields: “Practically never . in a working-class home, will you see the man doing a stroke of the housework. Unemployment has not changed t

33、his convention, which on the face of it seems a little unfair. The man is idle from morning to night but the woman is as busy as ever - more so, indeed, because she has to manage with less money. Yet so far as my experience goes the women do not protest. They feel that a man would lose his manhood i

34、f, merely because he was out of work, he developed in a Mary Ann.”It is over the care of young children that this re-allocation of duties becomes really significant. For this, unlike the cooking of fish fingers or the making of beds, is an inescapably time-consuming occupation, and time is what the

35、fully employed wife has no more to spare of than her husband.The male initiative in courtship is a pretty indiscriminate affair, something that is tried on with any remotely plausible woman who comes within range and, of course, with all degrees of tentativeness. What decides the issue of whether a

36、genuine courtship is going to get under way is the womans response. If she shows interest the engines of persuasion are set in movement. The truth is that in courtship society gives women the real power while pretending to give it to men.What does seem clear is that the more men and women are togeth

37、er, at work and away from it, the more the comprehensive amorousness of men towards women will have to go, despite all its past evolutionary services. For it is this that makes inferiority at work abrasive and, more indirectly, makes domestic work seem unmanly, if there is to be an equalizing redist

38、ribution of economic and domestic tasks between men and women there must be a compensating redistribution of the erotic initiative. If women will no longer let us beat them they must allow us to join them as the blushing recipients of flowers and chocolates.56. The author advises the working wife wh

39、o is more successful than her husband to.A. work in the same sort of job as her husband.B. play down her success, making it sound unimportant.C. stress how much the family gains from her high salary.D. introduce more labour-saving machinery into the home.57.

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about the present form of courtship?A. Men are equally serious about courtship.B. Each man “makes passe

41、s” at many women.C. The womans reaction decides the fate of courtship.D. The man leaves himself the opportunity to give up the chase quickly.BThe first clue came when I got my hair cut.The stylist offered not just the usual coffee or tea but a complimentary nailpolish change while I waited for my ha

Then there was the appliance salesman who offered to carry my bags as we toured the microwa

43、ve aisle.When I called my husband to ask him to check some specs online,the salesman offered a pre-emptive discount,lest the surfing turn up the same model cheaper in another store.That night,for the first time,I saw the Hyundai ad promising shoppers that if they buy a car and then lose their job in

44、 the next year,they can return it. Suddenly everythings on sale.The upside to the economic downturn is the immense incentive it gives retailers to treat you like a queen for a day.During the flush times. Salespeople were surly,waiters snobby.But now the customer rules,just for showing up.Theres more

45、 room to stretch out on the flight,even in a coach.The malls have that serene aura of undisturbed wilderness,with scarcely a shopper in sight.Every conversation with anyone selling anything is a pantomime of pain and bluff.Finger the scarf, then start to walk away, and its price floats silkily downw

46、ard.When the mechanic calls to tell you that brakes and a timing belt and other services will run close to $2,000,its time to break out the newly perfected art of the considered pause. You really dont even have to say anything pitiful before hell offer to knock a few hundred dollars off.Restaurants

47、are also caught in a fit of ardent hospitality, especially around Wall Street:Trinity Place offers $3 drinks at happy hour any day the market goes down,with the slogan “Market tanked? Get tanked!”which ensures a lively crowd for the closing bell. The “21” Club has decided that men no longer need to

48、wear ties,so long as they bring their wallets.Food itself is friendlier: You notice more comfort food,a truce between chef and patron that is easier to enjoy now that you can get a table practically anywhere.New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni characterizes the new restaurant demeanor as “e

49、xtreme solicitousness tinged with outright desperation.” “You need to hug the customer,” one owner told him. Theres a chance that eventually well return all this kindness with the extravagant spending that was once decried but now everyone is hoping will restart the economy.But human nature is funny

50、 that way.In dangerous times,we clench and squint at the deal that looks too good to miss,suspecting that it must be too good to be true.Is the store with the super cheap flat screens going to go bust and thus not be there to honour the “free” extended warranty? Is there something wrong with that fr

51、ee cheese? Store owners will tell you horror stories about shoppers with attitude,who walk in demanding discounts and flaunt their new power at every turn.These store owners wince as they sense bad habit forming:Will people expect discounts forever? Will their hard,won brand luster be forever cheape

52、ned,especially for items whose allure depends on their being ridiculously priced? There will surely come a day when things go back to “normal”;retail sales even inched up in January after sinking for the previous six months.But I wonder what it will take for US to see those$545 Sigerson Morrison stu

54、pression were saving string and preaching sacrifice long after the skies cleared.They came to be called the“greatest generation.” As we learn to be decent stewards of our resources,who knows what might come of it? We have lived in an age of wanton waste,and there is value in practicing conservation

Ones life experience would turn into lifelong habits to some extent.CWhat Is Integrity?The key to integrity is consistencynot only setting high personal standards for oneself but also living up to those standar

59、ds each and every day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even when making lifes hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation. What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappoi

60、nted in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others. Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals.“But Every

61、body Does It”Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts but manage to fool themselves about the risks theyre taking by using excuses: “Everyone else does it,” or “I really need this grade.” Excuses can get very elaborate: “I know Im looking at anothers exam, but thats not cheating be

62、cause Im just checking my answers, not copying.” We must be honest about our actions and avoid excuses.To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. If youd rather hide your acti

63、ons, thats an indication that youre taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.Evaluating RisksTo decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits and simply havent considered what might go wrong. The consequen
