Although women lead healthier, longer lives, the cruel opinion that they become “old” sooner than men is widespread in the workplace , research shows .
A survey of more than 2,600 managers and personnel professionals showed that age discrimination is not only common in the workplace , but is shot through with inconsistencies (矛盾).

American society is on the go. There are two elements in life that Americans do regard much: ― 31 and labor.
Americans are " 32 to nothing but the clock ", it has been said. Time is 33 as if it were the most valuable thing. In American language, there are words 34 with time. Such as: time can be budgeted, saved, wasted, stolen, killed, and cut. Americans also 35 for time, as " the time is the money ". So time is really 36 to them. Many people have a rather acute (敏锐的) sense of the 37 of their lifetime. Their belief is that once " the sands have run out of a person's hourglass ", they can not be replaced.

Most Americans live in period of time by engagement calendars, which might be 44 periods as short as fifteen minutes. While in the business world, Americans are not likely to receive their visitors in homelike 45 over long but small talk; let 46 take them out for dinner. Once they are in business, 47 to most of them is not so important. They'd like to seek out assurance of past actual performance 48 evaluate a business partner through present 49 contact. Thus, they start dealing with business very quickly as they 50 have other appointments following hard on the heels. Time is therefore keeping ticking in their inner ear.

It would be pleasant to believe that all young girls in the past got married for romantic reasons; but the fact is that many of them regarded marriage as their only chance to gain independence from their parents, to have a provider, or to be assured of a good place in society. A couple of generations ago, an old maid of twenty-five did not have much to look forward to. She was more or less fated to remain 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 unmarried woman of twenty-eight or thirty does not feel that her life is over. Besides, since she’s probably working and supporting herself, she is free to marry only when and if she chooses. As a result today’s women tend to marry later in life. They have fewer children-or none at all―if they prefer to devote themselves to their professions . The result is a decline in the birthrate.
The new role that women have developed for themselves has changed family life. Children are raised differently; they spend more time with adults who are not their parents; baby-sitters, day-care center personnel, relatives, or neighbors. Whether they gain or lose in the process is a hotly debated question. Some child experts believe that young children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound in body and mind. Others think that children get more from a mother who spends with them “quality time” (a time of fun and relaxation set aside for them) rather than hours of forced and unhappy baby-sitting. And many child psychologists point out that children kept in day-care centers every day are brighter than those raised at home. No matter what it is, one thing about child raising to be certain of is that the longer the child is with the mother, the better.
68．Which of the following is the reason for young girls’ marriage in the past ?
A．Marriage was one of the chances to get freedom.
B．They could find happiness through marriage.
C．They preferred to devote themselves to housework.
D．They wanted to find a good place in society.
69．We can conclude from the passage a decrease in the birthrate is because .
A．a good many women still depend on their parents
B．raising children is a great burden for many families
C．many women would like to remain young forever
D．more and more women are concentrating on their careers
70．The underlined word “sound” means .
A．bright B．healthy C．tall D．strong
71．Which of the following is being discussed in the passage ?
A．How long children should stay with their parents?
B．Where children should be raised?
C．Whether children should stay with their parents?
D．How children should be raised?
