| 阅读理解 | During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying
at the end of the nineteenth 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 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
fortyfive and can be expected to live another thirtyfive years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.
This important change in women"s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women"s
economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a fulltime job. However, when
they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the schoolleaving age is
sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women 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 parttime work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a
greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.

In 1955, bus seats for African Americans and whites were separated in parts of the U. S.. On
December 1,1955, in the city of Montgomery, Alabama, a conflict, or disagreement, started when an
African American woman named Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat to a white man and go to the
back of the bus. The police took 42yearold Parks to jail.
The African American community was extremely angry. They had a meeting and decided to work
together to protest discrimination. They agreed to boycott(抵制) the buses on the day that Parks went
to court. The day was a success. Empty buses drove through the streets. The city lost money. The
community decided to continue the boycott. They elected a man named Martin Luther King, Jr. to be
the leader.
The boycott continued. It was difficult for African Americans to get to work without buses, but they
didn"t stop the boycott. The city continued to lose money. Finally, the U. S. Supreme Court decided that Montgomery"s bus laws were unfair and gave the African American community equal right. On December 21,1956, the bus boycott ended.
The Montgomery Bus Boycott was the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. The movement
eventually led to the Civil Rights Act in 1964, a set of laws that made discrimination a crime. During the
Montgomery Bus Boycott, people worked together to change the government. Today, people in the
U. S. continue to work together for a change. Now hundreds of organizations and community groups
work to protect the rights of U. S. citizens and residents.

| 阅读理解 | Adam Smith, writing in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labour
and to explain part of its advantages. He gives us an example the process by which pins were made in
England. "One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth
grinds(磨光滑) it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three
distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important
business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which in some
factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. "
"Ten men, " Smith said, "in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4,800 pins a
piece. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labour, they certainly could not turn out any pin, each of them would have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even
one."
There can be no doubt that division of labour is a way of organising work. Fewer people can make
more pins. Adam Smith saw this but it"s a pity he also took it for granted that division of labour is in itself
responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between
expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labour adds nothing new；it only enables
people to produce more of what they already have.

A. show the advantages of the division of labour

C. show the advantages of the old craft system
