32、idn that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm.

33、en her children were grown, she tried again.She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long periods of time.

38、ted States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his studentsto do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they

39、 spend their money, they often see what they really value in life.He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him

40、to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship ifhe doesn t. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real

41、about it.Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.

43、odern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end.

47、The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a woman spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and woul

48、d 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 health made it unusual for her to get paid work.

49、Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement（ 退休 ） at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is light

50、ened by modern living conditions.This important change in women - pasttelifren has only recently begun to have its full effect on women s eco nomic position. Even a few years ago most girls left schools at the first chance, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usua

51、lly left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part

52、-time 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, and with the both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interes

53、ts of each of them.64. According to the passage, around the year 1900 most women married A. at about twenty-fiveB. in their early fiftiesC as soon as possible after they were fifteenD. at any age from fifteen to forty-five65. We are told that in a common family about 1900 .A. many children died befo

54、re they were fiveB. seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC. the youngest child would be fifteenD. four or five children died when they were five66. When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth-century mother .A. would be healthy enough to take up paid jobsB. was usually expected to die

55、fairly soonC. would expect to work until she diedD. was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one67. According to the passage, the women of today usually .A. marry instead of getting paid workB. marry before they are twenty-fiveC. have more children under fifteenD. have too few childrenEIt s int

56、eresting that the arrival of snow shaeffect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a catastroph球害）or even a wonder.But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter m

57、onths, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply causes problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Normal communication is affected as well: telephone calls become difficult and the
