Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country haven’t been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seems to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but she’d also accepted a date with the most charming man she’d ever met.
’’Really?’’ I responded, ’’tell me about them. ’’
’’Receptionist in an attorney’s office and a welder at a construction site. ’’ She answered in a matter-of-fact way. The interesting thing is that my daughter’s date is the receptionist and my daughter is the welder. The old stereotypes of men’s and women’s work have been changing more quickly than ever before, except perhaps in my own marriage.
’’Who’s going to mow the lawn? ’’ I asked my husband this morning.
’’Oh, I will,’’ he answered politely. ’’That’s men’s work. ’’
’’What?’’ Irritated, I raised my voice. ’’That’s a ridiculous stereotype. I’ll show you who can do the best job on the lawn. ’’
The work took 3 hours and I did it all myself.
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.
9. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
10. What might women do at office meetings nowadays according to the speaker?
11. Why did the speaker mow the lawn herself that morning?
选项
A、To prove that she could earn her living as a gardener.
B、To show that women are more hardworking than men.
C、To show that women are capable of doing what men do.
D、To prove that she was really irritated with her husband.
答案
C
解析
选项用动词不定式表示目的。听力最后举了一个例子,女士问自己的丈夫:谁整理草坪? 丈夫回答说:当然是我了,这是男人的工作。女士强调说:我来做,看看谁会做得更好。然后,女士一个人整理了草坪。这是一个推断题,题目问主人公为什么要自己整理草坪。根据整篇听力,作者一直在讲男性女性的传统角色正在发生改变,所以她用自己修整草坪来证明这一观点。由此判断C)为正确答案。选项D)是个强干扰项,女士被丈夫的回答惹怒了,但她这么做却是为了证明传统的男女定位正在发生改变。
