The trend toward smaller families may not be as modern as we think, either. Although women gatherers had four or five children, only two typically survived childhood—the number found in the average American family today. Even our style of rearing children is starting to parallel hunting-gathering communities, in which girls and boys are permitted to play together from a young age, and consequently experiment at sex earlier and engage in trial marriages. Clearly we’ve moved away from the agricultural custom of arranged marriages and cloistering girls(玉女)to preserve their virginity.
Moreover, the home is no longer the " lace of production" , as it was in farm days. We don’t make our soap, grow our vegetables and slaughter our chicken for the dinner table. Instead, we hunt and gather in the grocery store and return to our "home base" to consume the food we have collected. No wonder we are so in love with fast foods. It probably harks back to an eating strategy our primitive relatives adopted over 50 million years ago.
There’s no mistaking the trend: humans are once again on the move. Husband and wife are no longer bound to a single plot of land for their livelihood. Women are back in production as well as reproduction. As we head back to the future, there’s every reason to believe the sexes will enjoy the kind of equality that is a function of our birthright. By equality, I mean a more equitable division of power—not that our roles will converge. Alike men and women have never been and never will be. Very simply, we think differently, which is again tied to our long hunting-gathering heritage.
For 2 million years, women carried around children and have been the nurturers. That’s probably why tests show they are both more verbal and more attuned to nonverbal cues. Women, on the other hand, tend to have superior mathematical and visual-spatial skills because they roamed long distances from the campsite, had to scheme ways to trap prey and then had to find their way back. That specialization is reflected in genuine gender differences in the brain today. Nature not only intended men and women to put their bodies together; we’ve meant to put our heads together as well.
That’s what’s so thrilling about what’s happening now. All those male and female skills are beginning to work together again. At long last, society is moving in a direction that should be highly compatible with our ancient human spirit. [br] By saying that the sexes will enjoy equality, the author means that______.
选项
A、men and women will have the same speculative power
B、men and women will be entitled to equal rights the time they are born
C、men and women will play equal role in society
D、the distribution of power will be fairer between men and women
答案
D
解析
由题干关键词sexes will enjoy equality定位至第三段第五句。作者指出“就平等而言,我是指两性间权利的划分更加公平,而不是说男女的角色相同”,其中equitable意思与fair相同,因此D)“男女之间的权利分配更加公平”为最佳答案。
