20、ng letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 Building on the base of evidence and interpretation in Hansens (1994) qualitative study of working people s diaries, we assigned each diarist a set of codes to indicate employment, marital status, number

21、of children, and size of the town in which he or she lived. To analyze the number, location and gender mix of visiting occasions, we coded each day in January and July for every year of the diary, counting the number of named visitors, the visitors gender, the size of the visiting occasion (1 to 4 p

22、eople, or 5 and above) , the gender mix of those present during the visit, and the location of the visit. While this may seem straightforward at first glance, the variable nature of the diary entries meant that the coding process was not as uncomplicated as we initially anticipated. Given the number

23、 of diarists and the span of diary-keeping years, we faced the possibility of coding over 200 000 diary days. Because of the labor-intensive nature of the coding and the number of entries, we chose to code only 2 months January and July of each year a diarist kept a diary. We chose 2 months that cou

24、ld reflect a range of sociability. Severe January weather in New England impeded mobility, but it also freed those who were farmers from most of their labor intensive chores. July tended to be haying season for fanners, which meant some people routinely worked all month in the fields some alone, som

25、e with hired help. Further, the clement July weather meant grater mobility for all of the diary keepers. For some people those who kept a diary for only a single yea: the fact that we coded only 2 months out of each year meant we have only 62 “diary-days“ to document their social lives. For others,

26、we have several thousand. Limiting ourselves to January and July for each diary year, we nonetheless coded entries for a total of 24 752 diary days. In an effort to capture an accurate picture of visiting patterns, we coded every day of a given month, even those that had no entry or that mentioned o

27、nly the weather, as well as those that recorded numerous visiting occasions in one day. Determining a working definition of what constituted a visit was also an unexpected challenge. For example, although schoolteacher Mary Mudge kept a meticulous record of her visiting “rounds,“ listing names, plac

28、es, and conversation topics, other diarists were not as forthcom-ing. A typical entry in fanner John Campbells diary (9 July, 1825) was less amenable to our initial coding scheme: “Go to Carts for Oxen.“ (See Hansen and Mcdonald, 1995, for a fuller discussion of the pitfalls of coding diary data. )

29、We therefore created the following coding protocol. We defined a visit as any occasion in which the diarist names the presence of individuals not of his or her household, the presence of the non-household member serving to distinguish between a community interaction and a household interaction. We a

30、lso coded as visits public events at which the diarist was present but others in attendance were not named. The most common among these were records of church attendance. Although an entry “went to church“ did not result in a finding of specific male or female visitors, it was a community interactio

31、n; thus, these entries were coded as gender-mixed visiting occasions of five or more people in a public place. Because of the variable nature of diary-keeping practices, we were careful to record only what we could confidently infer. Therefore, some entries record visits but no named individuals. Ot

32、hers, such as church attendance (which is generally a large-group event) or a visit to one named friend (which is an intimate affair) , allowed us to code the size of the group. Still others, when the location of the visit was specifically mentioned, allowed us to code the diarist as hosting, acting

33、 as a guest in another s home, or interaction at a public place. 21 What is the significance of Hansen s study to the passage? （ A） It was the foundation of the research. （ B） It was the groundwork for the research. （ C） It was the research that was coded. （ D） It was the example used for the coding

34、. 22 How did diaries such as John Campbell s influence the study? （ A） They demanded more specific classification of visits. （ B） They demanded that church attendance be included as visits. （ C） They demanded that visiting a friend be classified as intimate. （ D） They demanded that both men and wome

35、n be present. 23 One weakness of this study may be_. （ A） It overestimates the level of sociability in the diarists lives （ B） It underestimates the level of sociability in the diarists lives （ C） It misinterprets the level of sociability in the diarists lives （ D） It underrates the level of sociabi

36、lity in the diarists lives 23 African American womens search for societal acceptance often encompasses struggle between natural and socially constructed ideas of beauty. As an essential component in traditional African societies, cosmetic modification is ritualized to emphasize natural features of b

37、lackness. Defined by social occasion such as childhood development to maturity, indicators of marital status or the group to which you belong, beautification of the hair and body play an essential role. In our racially conscious society, presenting a physical image and being accepted is a complex ne

38、gotiation between two different worlds. Hair is an outward expression of culture and heritage. It also represents a sense of personal style. In the search for the African American identity, blacks have undergone many different changes in hairstyle. Hairstyles are cultural classifiers of what African

39、 Americans consider beautiful. Hairstyles are a representation of the African American soul, all of their confidence and dignity show in how they present themselves on Sundays and on a daily basis. “ During the sixties, white American youth used their hair to make a variety of political and philosop

40、hical statements, “ young blacks joined thereafter. The natural hairstyle not only was easier to care for, but also gave African Americans a closer tie to their heritage. Natural style serves as a visible imprimatur of blackness: a tribute to group unity: a statement of self-love and personal signif

41、icance. “ By rejecting the white standards of beauty, black Americans halted the processes of using chemical straighteners or hot irons. A woman talks about her struggle. “I remember battling with the idea of going natural for several years. I never had the courage because every time I pictured myse

42、lf with my natural hair, I never saw beauty. Now my hair is natural, thick and healthy.“ African American women are finding confidence within themselves to wear their hair naturally and feel beautiful about it. Many contemporary African Americans are avoiding high maintenance and feeling confident i

43、n their natural beauty. It was a different story in the past. African Americans were pressed. Shame was the motivation behind blacks losing their roots and ethnic identity. By being brainwashed into believing black people are “inferior“ and white people are “superior“ African Americans have mutilate

44、d and adjusted their bodies to try to look “pretty by white standards. Hair is as different as the people it belongs to. People are finally recognizing that beauty is what helps to create our individual identities. Ultimately, individual confidence shapes and strengthens the culture of the African A

45、merican community. 24 The first paragraph tells us that African Americans_. （ A） have been trying hard to be socially accepted （ B） have been changing their value about beauty （ C） have maintained their identity of traditional Africans （ D） have modified their hairstyles to fit into the society 25 W

48、 started to see beauty in their thick curly hair. （ C） they feel good and comfortable in being different. （ D） they accepted the white standards of beauty. 28 Why did some African Americans accept the white standards of beauty? （ A） Because they tried to keep socially fashionable （ B） Because they d

49、id not have their own standards of beauty （ C） Because they were not well educated as white Americans （ D） Because they wanted to become part of the mainstream 28 “In every known human society the male s needs for achievement can be recognized. In a great number of human societies men s sureness of their sex role is tied up with their right, or a-bility, to practice some activity that women are not allowed to practice. Their maleness in fact has to be underwritten by preventing women from enter
