It would be pleasant to believe that all young girls in the past got married for 1
reasons; but the fact is that many of them regarded marriage as their only chance to
gain 2 from their parents, to have provider, or to be assured of a place in society. A
couple of generations ago, an old maid of 25 did not have much to look forward to, she
was more or less fated to 3 with her parents or to live in some relative’s home where
she would help with the chores and the children. Not so any more. In the first place,
women remain young much longer than they used to, and an 4 woman of 28 or 30 does
not feel that her life is over. Besides, since she is probably working and supporting
herself, she is free to marry only when and if she chooses. As a consequence, today’s
women tend to marry 5 in life. They have fewer children--- or none at all--- if they
prefer to devote themselves to their profession. The result is a 6 in the birthrate.
The new role that women have developed for themselves has 7 family life.
Children are raised 8 ; they spend more time with 9 who are not their parents;
babysitters, day-care center personnel, relatives, or neighbors. Whether they gain or
lose in the process is a hotly debated question. Experts have expressed quite different

opinions. However, no matter what they are, one thing about child 10 to be certain
of is that the longer the child is with the mother, the better.
II．Read the following passages. Answer the questions on each by choosing A, B, C
or D, and write the correct ones on your answer sheet. 20%
Passage One：ON SOCIETY
Low self-esteem pops up regularly in academic reports as an explanation for all sorts of
violence, from hate crimes and street crimes to terrorism. But despite the popularity of
the explanation, not much evidence backs it up. In a recent issue of Psychological
Review, three researchers examine this literature at length and conclude that a much
stronger link connects high self-esteem to violence. "It is difficult to maintain belief in
the low self-esteem view after seeing that the more violent groups are generally the
ones with higher self-esteem," write Roy Barmeister of Case Western Reserve
University and Laura Smart and Joseph Boden of the University of Virginia.
The conversational view is that people without self-esteem try to gain it by hurting
others. The researchers find that violence is much more often the work of people with
unrealistically high self-esteem attacking others who challenge their self-image. Under
this umbrella come bullies, rapists, racists, psychopaths and members of street gangs
and organized crime.
The study concludes: "Certain forms of high self-esteem seem to increase one's
proneness to violence. An uncritical endorsement of the cultural value of self-esteem
may therefore be couterproductive and even dangerous......The societal pursuit of high
self-esteem for everyone may literally end up doing considerable harm."
As for prison programs intended to make violent convicts feel better about
themselves," perhaps it would be better to try instilling modesty and humility," the
researchers write.
In an interview with the Boston Globe, Baumeister said he believes the
"self"-promoting establishment is starting to crumble. "What would work better for the
country is to forget about self-esteem and concentrate on self-control," he said.
In the schools, this would mean turning away from psychic boosterism and
emphasizing self-esteem as a by-product of real achievement, not as an end in itself.

The self-esteem movement, still entrenched in schools of education, is deeply
implicated in the dumbing down of our schools, and in the spurious equality behind the
idea that it is a terrible psychic blow if one student does any better or any worse than
another. Let's hope it is indeed crumbling.
1. The researcher finds that there are stronger connections between _____
A. low self-esteem and violence.
B. low self-control and violence.
C. high self-image and violence.
D. high self-control and violence.
2. The researchers would most probably agree with the following EXCEPT _____
A. self-esteem should be promoted and encouraged.
B. schools should change their concept of self-esteem.
C. the traditional view is beginning to lose ground.
D. prisons should change their present practice.
Passage Two
But if language habits do not represent classes, a social stratification into something as
bygone as "aristocracy" and "commons", they do still of course serve to identify social
groups. This is something that seems fundamental in the use of language. As we are in
relation to political and national movements, language is used as a badge or a barrier
depending on which way we look at it. The new boy at school feels out of it at first
because he does not know the right words for things, and awe-inspiring pundits of six
or seven look down on him for not being aware that racksy means "dilapidated", or
hairy "out first ball". The miner takes a certain pride in being "one up" on the visitor or
novice who calls the cage a "lift" or who thinks that men working in a warm seam are
in their "underpants" when anyone ought to know that the garments are called hoggers.
The "insider" is seldom displeased that his language distinguishes him from the
"outsider".
Quite apart from specialized terms of this kind in groups, trades and professions, there
are all kinds of standards of correctness at which most of us feel more or less obliged to
aim, because we know that certain kinds of English invite irritation or downright
condemnation. On the other hand, we know that other kinds convey some kind of
prestige and bear a welcome cachet.
