29、d at the restaurant, the works canteen, and the school dining room.Its unusual now for father to persue(追求)his trade of 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 business, and in many towns they
30、 have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon gains a feeling of economic independence (经济上的独立). In textile areas it has been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother
31、 is now not an unusual factor in a childs home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty five years.

38、ar.

Then when you get close, turn to it, line it up in your
39、sights and fire before it turns to shoot at you. If you miss or are too slow, quickly get away by moving out of the enemys line of life.

44、ment can be thought of “as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services“. Advertisement aims to increase peoples awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazin
45、es are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema anti commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective.
