更多“Nowadays some mothers still play ( ) big part in the lives of their grown-up children.”相关的问题
听力原文： A "typical" British family used to consist of mother, father and two children, but in recent years there have been many changes in family life. Some of these have been caused by new laws and others are the result of changes in society. For example, since the law made it easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. In fact one marriage in every three now ends in divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families. Society is now more tolerant than it used to be of unmarried people, un married couples and single parents.
Another change has been caused by the fact that people arc living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone following the death of their partners. As a result of these changes in the pattern of people's lives, there are many families that consist of only one person or one person and children. You might think that marriage and the families are not so popular as they once were. However, the majority of divorced people marry again, and they sometimes take responsibility for a second family.

Member of a family—grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins—keep in touch, but they see less of each other than they used to. This is because people often move away from their hometown to work, and so the family becomes scattered.
In general, each generation is keen to become independent of parents in establishing its own family unit, and this fact can lead to social as well as geographical differences within the larger family group.

The tendency nowadays to wander in wildernesses is delightful to see. Thousands
of tired, nerve-shaking, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to 【S1】______
mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and mountain parks and 【S2】______
reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, and as 【S3】______
fountains of life. Awakening from the stupefying effects of the vicious of over-industry【S4】______
and the deadly apathy of luxury, they are trying as best they can to mix and enrich their
own little ongoings with that of Nature, and to get rid of rust and disease. Briskly 【S5】______
venturing and roaming, some are washing off sins and cares of the devil's spinning in
storms on mountains; sauntering in pinewoods or in meadows, brushing through
chaparral, bending down and parting sweet, flowery sprays; tracing rivers back their 【S6】______
sources, getting in touch with the nerves of Mother Earth; jumping from rock to rock,
panting in whole-souled exercise, and rejoicing, in deep, long-drawn breathes of pure 【S7】______
wildness. This is fine and natural and full of promise. So also was the growing interest【S8】______
in the care and preservation of forests and wild places in general, and in the half wild
parks and gardens of towns. Even the scenery exists in its most artificial forms, mixed
with spectacles, silliness, and kodaks; its devotees arrayed gorgeously than scarlet 【S9】______
tanagers, frightening the wild game with red umbrellas—even this is encouraging, and
may well be regarded as a hopeful sign of times. 【S10】______

Some people try at home, with books and tapes, some use radio or television programs, others go to school or attend evening classes. Nowadays people even may use the Internet or various computer softwares to study English. If they use English only two or three times a week, it will take a long time to learn it, like English learning at school. A few people try to learn English fast and study six or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn English in England, Canada, Australia or the United States. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need English in order to do their work better. For example, most scientists and engineers chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in English. Whether English is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Good teachers, books and machines will help, but they cannot do the student's work for him.
What does an advertisement say about English learning？
A．English is the easiest language to learn.
B．English is as easy to learn as your mother tongue.
C．English call be learnt in six weeks.
D．It is easier to learn English on radio or TV.
听力原文： The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together, and they had an extended family. Sometimes two or more brothers with their wives and children were part of this large family group. But family structure is changing throughout the world. Nowadays, many families consist of only one Father, one mother, and children. It is becoming the main family structure everywhere.
The new family structure offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the family. Studies show that in these families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family lives.
In the past, wives usually have to pay for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters and grandparents and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions.
But now, wives do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage too: women generally live longer than their husbands, so older women from these families often have to live alone. Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and childcare were a full time job, and there was no time for anything else. Now women work outside and have more freedom than they did in the past, but they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full-time jobs, and they have not much free time.

The use of deferential (敬重的) language is symbolic of the Confucian ideal of the woman, which dominates conservative gender norms in Japan. This ideal presents a woman who withdraws quietly to the background, subordinating her life and needs to those of her family and its male head. She is a dutiful daughter, wife and mother, master of the domestic arts. The typical refined Japanese woman excels in modesty and delicacy; she "treads softly (谨言慎行) in the world," elevating feminine beauty and grace to an art form.
Nowadays, it is commonly observed that young women are not conforming to the feminine linguistic (语言的)ideal. They are using fewer of the very deferential "women's" forms, and even using the few strong forms that are known as "men's". This, of course, attracts considerable attention and has led to an outcry in the Japanese media against the defeminization of women's language. Indeed, we didn't hear about "men's language" until people began to respond to girls' appropriation of forms normally reserved for boys and men. There is considerable sentiment about the "corruption" of women's language—which of course is viewed as part of the loss of feminine ideals and morality—and this sentiment is crystallized by nationwide opinion polls that are regularly carried out by the media.
Yoshiko Matsumoto has argued that young women probably never used as many of the highly deferential forms as older women. This highly polite style. is no doubt something that young women have been expected to "grow into"—after all, it is a sign not simply of femininity, but of maturity and refinement, and its use could be taken to indicate a change in the nature of one's social relations as well. One might well imagine little girls using exceedingly polite forms when playing house or imitating older women—in a fashion analogous to little girls' use of a high-pitched voice to do "teacher talk" or "mother talk" in role play.
The fact that young Japanese women are using less deferential language is a sure sign of change—of social change and of linguistic change. But it is most certainly not a sign of the "masculinization" of girls. In some instances, it may be a sign that girls are making the same claim to authority as boys and men, but that is very different from saying that they are trying to be "masculine". Katsue Reynolds has argued that girls nowadays are using more assertive language strategies in order to be able to compete with boys in schools and out. Social change also brings not simply different positions for women and girls, but different relations to life stages, and adolescent girls are participating in new subcultural forms. Thus what may, to an older speaker, seem like "masculine" speech may seem to an adolescent like "liberated" or "hip" speech.

A．the standards set for contemporary Japanese women
B．the Confucian influence on gender norms in Japan

D．the norms for traditional Japanese women to follow
