A

The other problem that arises from the employment of women is that of the working wife. 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 help 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 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 wife’s.

A problem that affects a much larger number of working 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 this 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 if, 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 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 genuine courtship is going to get under way is the woman’s 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 together, 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 redistribution 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 who 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 words is used literally, NOT metaphorically (比喻地)? A. Heavily (Paragraph One). B. Convention (Paragraph Two). C. Engines (Paragraph Four). D. Abrasive (Paragraph Five).

The first clue came when I got my hair cut.The stylist offered not just the usual coffee or tea but a complimentary nail—polish change while I waited for my hair to dry.Maybe she hoped this little amenity would slow the growing inclination of women to stretch each haircut to last four months while nursing our hair back to whatever natural colour we long ago forgot.

Then there was the appliance salesman who offered to carry my bags as we toured the microwave 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 the next year,they can return it.

Suddenly everything’s 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.There’s more 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 downward.When the mechanic calls to tell you that brakes and a timing belt and other services will run close to $2,000,it’s time to break out the newly perfected art of the considered pause. You really don’t even have to say anything pitiful before he’ll offer to knock a few hundred dollars off.

Restaurants 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 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 “extreme solicitousness tinged with outright desperation.” “You need to hug the customer,” one owner told him.

There’s a chance that eventually we’ll 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 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 free 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 cheapened,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 studded toe-ring sandals as reasonable?Bargain-hunting can be addictive regardless of the state of the markets,and haggling is a low-risk, high-value contact sport. Trauma digs deep into habit,like my 85-year—old mother still calling her canned-goods cabinet “the bomb shelter.” The children of the First Depression 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 that goes far beyond our own bottom line.

59.Which of the following best describes the retailers now? A.Over-friendly. B.Bad-tempered. C.Highly motivated. D.Deeply frustrated.

60.What can we conclude from “the newly perfected art of the considered pause”? A.Customers have learned how to bargain effectively. B.Customers have got a sense of somewhat superiority. C.Customers have gained the upper hand when shopping. D.Customers have asked too muchof the service or product.

61. According to the passage, “shoppers... flaunt their new power at every turn” means that shoppers would

A.have more doubts, puzzles or suspicion. B.like to show off their tremendous wealth. C. constantly ask for more discounts or favor. D.like to show that they are on fine finance condition. 62. What is the main idea of the last two paragraphs? A. Customers should not expect discounts for luxury goods. B. The practice of frugality is of overwhelming significance. C. Extravagant spending would indirectly boost economic growth. D. One’s life experience would turn into lifelong habits to some extent.
