3、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.

1、What would the world look like if it lost its battle against the greenhouse effect and global warming? We are talking about worldwide disaster, including hurricane, earthquake, tidal waves, floods and the beginning of the next Ice Age.

This is the scene that faces those who see “The Day After Tomorrow”, a new Hollywood sci-fi (科幻) movie. It is in the second place of US box office chart. Some say that the director, Roland Emmerich, has an uncontrollable desire to destroy the world, especially New York. In 1996, he made “Independence Day”, in which aliens destroy the earth. Two years later, he brought “Godzilla” to the screen. This saw a giant monster appear in New York and almost tear the city to pieces.

“The Day After Tomorrow” shows disaster and destruction on a global scale---all thanks to the weather.

In the movie, Jack Hall, a weather scientist, is the first man to realize that a new ice age is coming. In one of several natural disasters, his son Sam became trapped in New York’s Public Library when a tidal wave strikes the city. He is forced to fight rapidly dropping temperatures. And a pack of hungry wolves escaped from the zoo. Meanwhile, Jack must think of ways to save his son, himself and the whole world. He must follow a hard path north, as everyone else races south to live in warmer climates.

This film also brings a direct attack on the refusal of the current US government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (散发). It is hoped that “The Day After Tomorrow” may encourage a change in the government’s attitude towards environmental protection.
