This important change in women's life pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first chance, and most of them took a full time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen. Many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to fuller part-time job. 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, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the house, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.

The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m. rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where luckily for me I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.

Television works in much the same way as radio.In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic waves which are sent through the air.Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago.By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models.Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become industry.

The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones.Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast ‘live’ from all over the world.People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo.And live telecasts now come form. outer space.In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic ‘moon walk’ to viewers on the earth.Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.

Questions are based on the following passage.
He was a qualified doctor who rarely practiced but instead devoted his life to writing.He once said: "Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover." Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modem short story.
(77) When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.
As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov&39;s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference(冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a full time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.
Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia. Tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.
It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov&39;s stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. (78) Chekhov&39;s work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity(敏感)of an artist.
Some of Chekhov&39;s works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell (装在套子里的人), about a school teacher&39;s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.
