28、of his complete disregard for the art of conversation, he couldnt exactly make himself dear to his hostesses. One lady felt she could solve this problem. She placed him next to Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of former President Theodore Roosevelt. Mrs. Longworth, brilliant conversationalist, be

29、gan to talk in her usual charming manner, but all attempts to awake interest on the part of vice-president were unproductive. Finally, being shamed into annoyance, she said, “Im sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must get terribly bored. “ Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Cool

30、idge said not very clearly, “Well, a man has to eat somewhere. “ Later, when he was president and once again at a dinner party, Coolidge was seated next to an outstanding society woman, one of those people who seem to take delight in trying to change the lives of everyone they meet. “Oh, Mr. Preside

31、nt,“ she spoke with too much enthusiasm,“yu are always so quiet.

It is unusual now for father to continue

37、 his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their fathers occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money,

38、and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a childs home life, the number of married women in employment having more

39、 than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant (支配的 ) figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great valu

40、e if mothers employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school. 36 The writer compares home to a workshop because_. （ A） fathers often pursue employment at home （ B） parents have to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-life （ C） many families produce go

43、choice of employment for children （ D） that children also like to have jobs outside 39 What makes father no longer be the only dominant person in a family? （ A） With their earning, mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life. （ B） There are many choices of employment for mothe

44、rs and children. （ C） Father does much less for his children today than he used to. （ D） The number of married women in employment has increased greatly now. 40 It is implied in this passage that_. （ A） mothers have the practice to go to work （ B） working mothers have no time to stay with their chil

46、f life, and the anthropologist searching for human origins share a common trait of curiosity. Not that non-scientists are not curious, most people possess this characteristic. The scientist, however, uses a specific method to make research into these enigmatic (如谜的 , 难以理解的 ) problems the scientific

47、method. Unfortunately, science and its method are misunderstood. The multiplication of our knowledge in medicine and technology has led to the idea that science can cure all and explain all and that only enough time, money and intelligence are needed. In truth, science cannot provide all answers. In

48、 fact, many phenomena are not even subject to scientific explanations. On the other side of the coin, science has been attacked as a cause of most contemporary problems.

It is what society, policymakers especially,
