"What About the Men?" was the title of a Congressional briefing last week timed to【B1】______National Work and Family Month. "What about them?" you may be【B2】______to yell.
When Ellen Galinsky, president of the Families and Work Institute, first went out on the road to talk about her organization’ s research into men’ s work-family【B3】______, she received many such grumpy responses. Work-life experts laughed at her. Men are【B4】______, they said. They don’ t have the right to complain. That was in 2008, before the Great Recession had hit. And this year, when Galinsky went out on the road again to talk about the results of a new study on male work-life conflict, she got a very【B5】______response. Some men became very【B6】______. They felt they didn’ t have permission to feel【B7】______. " ’ This is what I think about each and every day, ’ " she recalled another man telling her. " ’ I didn’ t realize that anyone else did,’ " he said. " He thought he was alone," Galinsky told me.
【B8】______men are【B9】______work-family conflict isn’ t new. Indeed, it’ s been some time now that they—and younger men in particular—have been complaining of feeling the【B10】______in even greater numbers of women. Failure,【B11】______, uncertainty, the【B12】______that comes from spending a lifetime playing one game【B13】______, mid-way through, that the rules have suddenly changed, seem to have【B14】______the old categories of self, work and meaning for many men.
Is this a bad thing? I’ d rather see it as a moment ripe【B15】______possibility. " A new beginning," said Ellen Galinsky. After all, what men are starting to say sounds an awful lot like the conversational stirrings that【B16】______the way for the modern women’ s movement.
For some years now, sociologists have been tracking the patterns of what they call【B17】______in men and women’ s lives. Mostly, when we think of this, we tend to focus【B18】______how they live, what they do, how they spend time, whether they do or do not empty the dishwasher or care for their children. But what about how they feel? Now that this final frontier is being breached, I wonder if we aren’ t fully prepared to see more meaningful change in men’ s—and women’ s and families’—lives than ever before. That is: if we can【B19】______the change and act【B20】______it with courage, not fear.
【B10】
选项
A、disaster
B、torture
C、pain
D、squeeze
答案
D
解析
横线处这句话的大意是,“确实,有越来越多的年轻男性感到了很多女性一直以来感受的那种压力”。这里没有直接出现“压力”stress一词。[A]disaster意思是“灾难”。[B]torture“折磨,拷问”,这个词的词义程度比较重。[C]pain“痛苦”。[D]squeeze“压力”,feelthe squeeze是固定搭配,表示“感受到窘迫或压力”。例如:All manufacturers are feeling thesqueeze.所有的生产商都感到了一定的压力。这里最符合句义的应该是[D]。
