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 seem 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 stronger 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 men 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 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:
29. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
30. What might women do at office meetings nowadays according to the speaker?
31. 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
推断题。短文最后提到了女士和丈夫的对话,丈夫说“修剪草坪是男人的活”,女士听了很生气,说“那是一个荒谬的偏见,我要让你看看修剪草坪谁能做得最好”,最后自己花了三个小时独自修剪了草坪,显然女性修剪草坪是为了向她丈夫证明女人也能做男人的工作,并能做得更好,故选C。
