Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a<br /> “housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for<br /> the family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not<br /> do much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.<br /> These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with<br /> the children all day. They come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening<br /> cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry.<br /> So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children? .<br /> Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband<br /> and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For<br /> example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife<br /> cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.<br /> Then there is a question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care<br /> from grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents often<br /> are too far away to help in a regular way.<br /> More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysister or a day-care<br /> center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs<br /> that pay well.<br /> Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now<br /> let people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their<br /> children. Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these<br /> men there is a new word: They are called “househusband”. In the United States more ans more<br /> men are becoming househusband every year.<br /> These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their<br /> children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may<br /> also find changes in their marriage. They may have a better understanding of each other.<br /> Question 36: This article is about ____________<br /> A. housewives in America.<br /> B.

Only Harvard's MBA School has<br /> shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen<br /> decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business<br /> Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower<br /> enrollment rates is expected to continue.<br /> There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one<br /> is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a<br /> plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the<br /> entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in<br /> English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the<br /> question, "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?" The<br /> second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entrylevel jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet<br /> the new demands.<br /> Question 43: What is the main focus of this passage?<br /> A. Jobs on Wall Street<br /> B.
