Passage Two
　　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 strong 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
to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　29. What is
the speaker mainly talking about?
　　30. What
might women do at office meetings nowadays according to the speaker?
　　31. Why didthe speaker mow the lawn herself that morning?

从某种程度上来说传统的对男人和女人的定义现在已不再适用.这个国家的男人和女人已经有一段时间没有去好好地扮演他们传统意义上的角色了,并且性别之间的区别也在慢慢变少.比如说,虽然现在不工作留在家中处理家务的女性仍然比男性多,但是女性已经开始在商业领域承担起更多的责任.她们现在挣着比以往任何时候都要高的工资,并且进入了以往被男性把持的领域.在进行工作会议和小组讨论时,相比于她们的男同事,女性或会更频繁的发言,发表坚实有力的意见,并给出更加有创意和实用性的想法.
几天以前,我23岁的女儿告诉了我一些重要的消息.她不仅找到了一份职业生涯目前为止薪水最高的工作,还接受了一个极具魅力的男士的约会邀请.
"真的吗?"我回答道,"详细跟我说说."
"他是一个律师事务所的接待员而我的工作是在工地做焊接工."她用一种"其实是这么回事儿"的态度回答.有趣的是,那位男士是接待员而我的女儿是那个焊接工.传统观念中的男女分工变化的比以往任何时候都快,也许除了我自己的婚姻以外.
"谁去把草坪修剪一下?"我今天早上问我的丈夫.
"噢,我去,"他礼貌的回答到."那是男人的活儿."
"什么?"我因为生气提高了我的声音."那是无聊的传统理念.让我来告诉你谁能把草坪料理得更好."
我一个人花了三个小时才把这个工作搞掂.
问题就不翻译了吧?
