3.In our culture,the sources of what we call a sense of"mastery"-feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same.Women often are told"You can't have it all."Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is:"You choose a career,so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life."or"You have a wonderful husband and children-what's all this about wanting a career?"But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being,if they are to feel good about themselves.
Our study shows that,for women,well-being has two aspects.One is mastery,which includes self-respect,a sense of control over your life,and low levels of anxiety and depression.Mastery is closely related to the"doing"side of life,to work and activity.Pleasure is the other aspect,and it is made up of happiness,satisfaction and optimism.It is tied more closely to the"feeling"side of life.The two are independent of each other.A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure,and vice versa(反之亦然).For example,a woman who has a good job,but whose mother has just died,might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life,but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women,and correct past mistakes.In the past,women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being.But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important.And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work.In our study,all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.
A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles.At least by middle adulthood,the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages,motherhood,and employment-were the highest in well-being,in spite of warnings about stress and strain.

分析 在我们的文化中,我们所说的一种权利,驾驭的力量(感到重要和有意义的)和一种快乐(找到生活的乐趣)不总是相同的,相关联的.女人们经常被告知:你不能拥有它的全部,你不能成功.有时演讲者真正要说的是:你选择了事业,所以你不能期望有一个更紧密的与亲戚朋友的关系或者是一个快乐的家.或是你有一个好极了的丈夫,孩子,这所有又与想要一个好的事业有什么联系呢?但如果女人们想要自我感觉良好,她们需要理解和发展幸福安康的这两方面(事业与家庭).
我们的研究表明,对于女性,幸福健康有俩方面.一是驾驭事物的能力,包括对自我的尊重,对生活的自我控制,低水平的焦虑和抑郁.它与做实事紧密相连(工作和活动),快乐,欣慰是另一方面.它由快乐,满足,乐观组成.它更与生活的感觉,感触紧密相连.这俩者是各自独立的.一个女人可以在驾驭事物的能力上有天赋,但却得不到快乐.反之亦然.例如,一个女性有个好工作,但她的母亲已经刚死了,她也许会对自己感觉良好,她的工作生活也井然有序,但是有一段时间她不会感到快乐和满足.
解答 65----68 D B DA
65 D 文章第一段最后一句话有直接提到答案women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being,说明掌控和舒适对于女性都是很重要的,故选择D
66.B 此题考查对作者态度的感知,由倒数第二段的研究结果all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery可以得知作者对于女性工作采取积极态度,故选择B
67.D 同样在最后一段中有提及女性担任多重角色的意义,A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles,说明这样会让她们的人生更有意义,故选择D
68.A 题目的答案在文章中可以间接找到,因为mastery的来源是工作,与之相对的pleasure的来源可推知是家庭,故选择A
点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.
