2016高考冲刺 2016高考英语阅读理解练习及答案(32)
It would be pleasant to believe that all younggirls in the past got married for romantic reasons;but the fact is that many of them regarded marriageas their only chance to gain independence fromtheir parents, to have a provider, or to be assured ofa good place in society. A couple of generations ago,an old maid of twenty-five did not have much to lookforward to, she was more or less fated to remain withher parents or to live in some relative‘s home where she would help with the chores and thechildren. Not so any more. In the first place, women remain young much longer than they usedto, and an unmarried woman of twenty-eight or thirty does not feel that her life is over.Besides, since she is probably working and supporting herself, she is free to marry only whenand if she chooses. As a result, today‘s women tend(倾向) to marry later in life. They have fewerchildren-or none at all- if they prefer to devote themselves to their profession. The result is adecline in the birthrate.The new role that women have developed for themselves has changed family life. Childrenare raised differently; they spend more time with adults who are not their parents: baby sitters,day-care center personnel, relatives, or neighbors. Whether they gain or lose in the process isa hotly debated question. Some child experts believe that young children must spend all theirtime with their mother if they are to grow sound in body and mind. Others think that childrenget more from a mother who spends with them ―quality time‖ (a time of fun and relaxationset aside for them)rather than hours of forced and unhappy baby sitting. And many childpsychologists point out that children kept in day-care centers every day are brighter than thoseraised at home. No matter what it is, one thing about child raising to be certain of is that thelonger the child is with the mother, the better.
