More American mothers than ever are working, and more workers are mothers. Yet their march

into the world of paid work continues to cause suspicion. One recent survey found that 48 percent of Americans believe that preschoolers suffer if their mothers work, while another found that 42 percent of employed parents think that working mothers care more about succeeding at work than meeting their children's needs.

All mothers deserve our support--those who care for children at home and those who have joined the work force. But many working mothers continue to believe that they are shortchanging (少找钱)their children. They shouldn't. Research tells us that kids do just fine when mothers work.

Suzanne Bianchi a scientist of the University of Maryland, has found that mothers today spend as much if not more time with their children than they did in 1965, even though the percentage of mothers who work rose from 35 percent to 71 percent. Then there are the obvious financial benefits. For many children, these earnings are the difference between living in poverty—or out of it.

The kids are all right. Studies conducted by the University of Michigan have consistently demonstrated that a child's social or academic competence does not depend on whether a mother is employed. In my research four out of five children (nine out of ten in single parent families) told me that having a working mother was their preferred arrangement. My study found that children with working mothers are no more likely to drop out, take drugs, break the law, or experiment with sex prematurely than children with non-employed mothers. Children have taken their mothers' example to heart. Ninety percent of the young women I interviewed said they hoped to combine work with motherhood, while two-thirds of the men said they wanted to share parenting and work.

Sadly, children support working mothers more than we do as a society. Parental leave and child-care benefits in the United States remain inadequate, particularly when compared to what's offered in other countries. Children thrive when their mothers have satisfying, well-paid jobs when they can count on other caretakers to share the load. The challenge facing us is thus not whether good workers can also be good mothers, but whether we can create the conditions that enable working mothers and fathers to be good parents.

From the first paragraph, we can see that ______.

A．now more American mothers are working than any time in American history and anywhere else in the world

B．more than half Americans think that before going to school, children need their mothers' whole-hearted care

C．a majority of Americans believe that once working outside home mothers think of their own work more than their children

D．more American mothers work than ever before, but this problem of working mothers has not been solved satisfactorily

If they (23) their father, mother, sisters, or brothers, they will define them as separate units, usually (24) in separate households.

听力原文： Have you ever seen an old American television show from the 1950s？ If you have,
try to picture the typical family that appears in those shows. There's father, who puts on a suit and goes to work every day. There's mother, who takes care of the house and children. And there are usually two or three children, and maybe a dog. In those days, that was considered to be a typical American family.

But today, the typical American family looks very different. Consider these statistics: in 1965, only 35% of American women worked outside the home. Ten years later, in 1975, it jumped to 55%. And today, close to 80% of American women work outside the home.

Why is that？ Well, there are two important reasons why most American women now work. The first one, very simply, is that they need the money. These days the cost of living is so high that most families need two paychecks in order to make ends meet.

The other reason why women are working in larger and larger numbers is that they have more opportunities than they did 30 or 40 years ago. There are laws in the United States that give women the same opportunity as men to go to college and get jobs. As a result, women today are working in professions that were not as open to them 30 or 40 years ago. To give just one example, today more than half the students in American medical schools are women.

So, to summarize so far, we've seen that the American family has changed dramatically since the days of those old television shows. In the typical family both the father and the mother have jobs. This means that most American homes don't have a full-time homemaker anymore, and that creates new problems for families, such as who takes care of babies and old people; who shops, cooks, and cleans; who volunteers at the children's school and so on.

Now, as the American family has changed, American businesses have changed too. More and more companies understand that people can't do good work if they're worried about their kids or if they're under a lot of stress. As a result, some companies are trying to help their workers with flexible policies and new programs that benefit working families.

For most people, trying to work and taking care of a family at the same time is still very, very difficult. In my opinion, our government and our society need to do a lot more to help working parents and their children.

23. What was the percentage of American women worked outside home in 1975？

24.Which statement is NOT the reason why most American women work now？

25.Which one is NOT a problem for two-paycheck families？

26.What are some companies trying to do for their workers？

(43)

A．35%0.

B．45%.

C．55%.

D．80%.

听力原文： When Rachel was two years old, she often climbed onto the piano bench and reache
d for the violin that belonged to her mother, a 38-year-old professional musician.

"Please don't touch, Rachel," her mother scolded. The violin was, after all, worth more than ＄20,000.

But Rachel persisted, she longed to handle the graceful instrument that made beautiful sounds. Finally, on her third birthday, Rachel was handed a package: a tiny violin, about half the normal size.

Almost from the moment Rachel was born, her mother knew she was sensitive to music. For several years mother and daughter practiced together day after day. She was eager to learn. Failure often led to tears, though she never once turned from the instrument. Instead, she persisted until the problem was overcome.

One day Robert, an American musician, heard Rachel playing the violin. He couldn't believe she was just eight years old. "She must make a tape and I will take it to the United States." the American musician said.

A famous American violin teacher heard the tape. He, too, had difficulty believing his ears. The playing was absolutely astonishing. He immediately accepted her as a pupil and recommended her for a full scholarship. In 1982, Rachel and her mother moved to New York City, leaving behind a comfortable life in Japan.

What did Rachel's mother do？

A．A housewife.

B．A singer.
