At a party for Ms.magazine’s 40th birthday,the Canadian writer Ann Dowsett Johnston waited for an audience with Gloria Steinem,hoping to cull wisdom for her research on women and alcohol.“Alcohol?”Steinem said to Johnston.looking“dismissive.”“Alcohol is not a women’s issue.”
Steinem may have been hasty.We know that many women report drinking more often in recent decades,that they are drinking more when they do,and that the physiological impact and social meaning of it all is different for women than for men.Women are the engine of growth for the American wine market and are being arrested for drunken driving more often than before.How much alarm should be invested in those observations is up for debate in both Johnston’s book.Drink:The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol,and Her Best-Kept Secret:Why Women Drink-and How They Can Regain Control,by the American journalist Gabrielle Glaser,the second of which makes the more pointed case.
Johnston turns in part to gauzy memory to make the case that female alcohol consumption is then egative byproduct of modern complexities and the pressure for women to be “perfect.”“I don’t remember my grandmothers suffering from this syndrome,”she asserts.
“Women who raised families during the Depression,who baked and gardened and read well;who were fundamentally happy,and felt no pressure to look like stick figures.”Well.Depression-era women’s lives were more circumscribed and less weighted with the pretext of “choice,”sure.But were these women,all in all,“fundamentally happy” ?And were they less eager for a fix when they could get it?
A temptation for many trend journalists and headline writers is to see women’s higher rates of alcohol abuse and dependency as the uneasy consequence of female liberation.Glaser acknowledges that alcohol provides a form of self-medication during a time of dizzying changes in women’s lives,but she is skeptical of the notion that alcoh01 abuse is the price of too much liberation.Her concise assessment:“Women are drinking more because they can.”Indeed,whereas Johnston often casts women as the victims of institutions,Glaser seems more interested in asking why institutions aren’t serving women’s needs better.Either way,what’s at stake is how we respond to the byproducts of equality that fit less comfortably on a placard.
Johnston believes that women are drinking NOT because of ________,
选项
A、side effects from it
B、desire for perfection
C、stress from more demands
D、the complexity of the society
答案
A
解析
本题为细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第三段。首句句意为“约翰斯顿认为,女人饮酒是现代社会复杂性以及想做‘完美’女人的压力带来的负面结果”,句中的byproduct of后面的内容,就是题干中because of要找的内容。D项与文中的modern complexities相符,C项的stress与文中的pressure是同义替换,B项与文中的perfect相符,三项均与题干中的NOT不符,均排除。A项“来自女人饮酒的副作用”,是对negative byproduct以及整句话的误解,故为正确答案。
