The greatest recent changes have been in...

The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women, during the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances (家用电器)and convenience foods.

This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each them.

When I smoked with my family, I would feel so   36   and good that nothing else in the world seemed so   37  . I thought that smoking weed (烟草) was okay since many of my family members and people at my school smoked.   38   ever happened to them.   39   I started smoking weed a lot more during lunch and after school. I never thought   40   of it. At that time I just wanted to smoke. Then I began to   41  in school. I would   42   classes, come home late and spend all my money. I would spend   43   8 to 18 dollars a day. I never thought   44   that marijuana (大麻) had a bad effect on those things. Maybe my coming to class high (神智恍惚) was the reason why I was failing or coming home late. As I continued to smoke marijuana, I began to notice that I would always have the strong desire to smoke and that I would get   45   cigarettes if I smoked those, but I don’t.   46   I have learned more about marijuana, I have   47   the amount of marijuana that I use. I don’t want marijuana to be the most important in my life. I’m not smoking every day, and not spending as much money. Since I have   48   on my habit, I am   49   more money. I’m ready to go back to school and do good, so that I can make myself  50  . Everyone is always saying how weed   51   your mind and how it solves problems. I think it only brings more   52  . Marijuana is not good for your body or your brain. I’m not trying to tell you not to smoke, I’m just letting you know that marijuana can be   53   to your health, and   54   it may cause some long term negative (负面的) effects. Help yourself now, before it is too late. I don’t want to lecture anyone, just   55   my experience with you.
