6、alth 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 forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty years and is likely to take paid work until retirement, at sixty. Even while she has the
7、 care of children, her work is lightened by modem living conditions.This important change in womens life pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first chance, and most of them took a full time job. Howeve
8、r, when they married, they usually 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. Many more afterwa
9、rds return to fuller part-time job.

14、 Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society, and was reading English literature.At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact, his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian of that day
15、, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted
16、his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus,
17、unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.11. Why didnt Washington go to college?A. His family could not afford it.B. A college education was rather uncommon in his timeC. He didnt like the young Virginian gentlemen.D. The author doesnt give any reason.文章里没说。12. Washington felt uncomfortab

Americ
22、ans get no credit whatsoever for having been born into a rich or privileged family. (In the United States, that would be considered “an accident of birth.”) Americans pride themselves in having been born poor and, through their own hard work, having climbed the difficult ladder of success to whateve
23、r level they have achieved-all by themselves. The American social system has, of course, made it possible for Americans to move, relatively easily, up the social ladder, whereas this is impossible to do in many other countries. The “self-made man or woman” is still very much the ideal in present-day
24、 America. Americans believe that competition brings out the best in any individual. They claim that it challenges or forces each person to produce the very best that is humanly possible. Consequently, the foreign visitor will see if you come from competition being fostered in the American home and i
25、n the American classroom, even at the youngest level. You may find the value placed on the competition disagreeable, especially if you come from a society that promote cooperation rather than competition among individuals. But Americans teaching in Third World countries find the lack of competitiven
26、ess in a classroom situation equally distressing. They soon learn that what they had thought to be one of the universal human characteristics represented only a peculiarly American ( or Western) value. Americans, valuing competition, have devised an economic system to go with-free enterprise. Americ
27、ans feel very strongly that a highly competitive economy will bring out the best in its people and ultimately, that the society which fosters competition will progress most rapidly. If you look for it, you will see evidence in all areas-in all fields as diverse as medicine, the arts, education, and
28、sports-that free enterprise is the approach most often preferred in America.16.What does the author mean by saying “The self-made man or woman is still very much the ideal in present-day America”? A. Americans no longer respect those who are born rich as they used to. B. Americans still respect thos
29、e who have climbed up the social ladder through hard work. C. Americans think that an ideal man or woman should be born poor. D. Americans think that only the self-made man or woman is worthy of respect.其意为美国人目前依然尊重自力更生而成功的人士。17.What does the author think of the American social system? A. It is a sy
30、stem that does not favor those who are born rich. B. It is a system that makes social climbing very difficult, if not impossible. C. It makes it comparatively easy for the poor to move up the social ladder. D. It is the best system possible in the world.美国政体使人容易白手起家。18.Americans teaching in Third Wo
31、rld countries found that _. A. competition is a unique American (or Western ) value B. competition must be fostered in the classroom for success in business C. cooperation is more important than competition in bringing about progress D. competition is one of the universal human characteristics 竞争是美国和西方价值观的独创,其它国家鲜见。19.
