nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties，and would be likely to have seven or eight children，of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. by the time the youngest was fifteen，the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years，during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. today women marry younger and have fewer children. usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is fortyfive and can be expected to live another thirtyfive years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.this important change in womens life has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. even a few years ago most girls left school and took a fulltime job. however，when they married，they usually left work at once and never returned to it. today the schoolleaving age is sixteen，many girls stay at school after that age，and though women marry younger，more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. very many more afterwards return to full or parttime work. such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage，with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.1we are told that in a family in about 1900 _.aa few children died before they were fivebseven or eight children lived to be more than fivecthe youngest child would be fifteendfour or five children died when they were five解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段的of whom four or five lived tillthey were five years old可知，七八個孩子中有四個或五個可能在五歲之前就死了。答案：a2one reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she _.ais younger when her children are more enough to look after themselvesbdoes not like children

job的一個原因是is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves。答案：a3according to the passage，it is now quite usual for women to_.astay at home after leaving school bmarry men younger than themselvescstart working again later in life dmarry while still at school解析：推斷題。由very many more afterwards return to
