He wasnt tall or good-looking, but he was very nice, attractive and athletic. He had something that I admired very m
26、uch. He was natural, warm, and sincere. I disregarded (不顾 ) my parents disapproval. We were very happy together.

27、 dorm. He came from a poor family, but in order to make me happy, he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me. Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and the girls envied (妒忌 ) me. He wasnt a local, but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a fu
28、ture together. However, when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation, people began giving me a lot of pressure, saying that a pretty, intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with. This was also what my family thought. He spent the summer in his hometown, so I was all
29、 by myself. When he got back, I began finding fault with him. But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away. However, I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse. I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well. With my good performance a
30、t school, I also got admission to graduate school at one of Chinas best universities. He, on the other hand, did not do so well at school or at work. I had to worry about his living expenses, job and scores. Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a quarrel
31、last June. He was in great pain, and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away. Graduation time was drawing near, and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown.

35、 for a television interview, I was chatting with the host about stay-at-home fathers. I made the point that one reason were seeing more stay-at-home dads may be that its no longer a given (假定的事实 ) that a man makes more money than his wife. Many families now take earning power into account when decid
36、ing which parent will stay home. At that point, one of the male crew members commented, almost to himself but loud enough for my benefit, “It should be the better parent who stays home. “ A lot of guys say things like that. Usually its a code for, “My wife, (read: any woman) is the better parent.“ I
37、 was a stay-at-home father for eight years, so his declaration made me bristle (激动 ). It implied that our familys choice could only have been correct if I was a “ better“ parent than my wife. I suppose an argument could have been made that when I began staying home my wife was the “better“ parent: S
38、he I-Dad spent more time with Ry, could read him better and calm him more quickly. And given a choice, hed have picked her over me. But as she was the more employable one, my wife went out to work and I looked after our son. Because of the increased time I spent with him, I soon knew Ry well, unders
39、tood what he needed and could look after him more or less as well as my wife could. Actually, the experience helped me unlock one of the worlds great secrets: Women are good at looking after children because they do it. Its not because of any innate (先天的 ) female aptitude (天资 ) or a mothers instinct
40、. Its because they put in.the time and attention required to become good at the job. Women obviously get a biological head start from giving birth and nursing, but over the long term experience is more important. When I got the experience myself, I was good, too. As good? I dont know. Who cares? Chi

Ties, or neckties, have been a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries. But t
46、he casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties. So, are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties? Maybe. Last week, the UKs Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era. He hint
47、ed that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives. In fact, Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party. Many of them were celebrities (知名人士 ) without ties, which would have been unimaginable even in t
48、he recent past. For some more conservative British, the tie is a must for proper appearance. Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie. For people like Callaghan, the tie was a sign of being complete, of showing respect. Me
49、n were supposed to wear a tie when going to church, to work in the office, to a party - almost even social occasion. But today, people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions. The origin of the tie is tricky. It started as something called simply a “ band“. The term could mean anything around a mans neck. It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this particular
