Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the past
decades, there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman’s life spent in
caring for children. A woman marrying at the middle of the 20 th century would probably have
been in her early twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, several of whom
lived till they were only 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 customs, opportunities and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today
women have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-
five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years, and is likely to take paid work until
retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her world is lightened by household
appliances and convenience foods.
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
opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they got 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 tend to marry younger, more married
women stay at work at least until shortly before the first child is born. Very many more
afterwards return to full- or part-time 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,
and with both husband and wife sharing equally in providing the money, and running the home,
according to the abilities and interests of each of them.
